jAtLY INQUIRER • STTN ? COLUMBUS, GEORGIA, TUESDAY MORNING, DECEMBER 21, 1881. And the Scribe* and Santa Claus On a Tramp. St. Nlchalas’ Storahrmsos l.mlonoil svifh Hnimny Goods—The Gentleman rroin St. Petersham Still In the llenrt of the City—Xo Special itlrac nloua Manifestation!*. Christmas comes on a pace-in fact on a dead run. The streets have already put on their holi- day attire. Holly and mistletoe here and there proclaim welcome, and all the world Is gottine in tunc to the chime of Christmas bells The crustiest old autocrat, in charge of a newsuapor now nubouds, and chatter about trade, seen only in display typo before, now becomes the newsiest of news. We may flatter ourselves that this is a free country, where the people are sovereign but at this season Santa Claus is king, Just the same In these days of crowded shops and crowded streets, when everybody is buying something for everybody else, the shopkeeper’s stock of p a . tieuce and endurance must be run upon verv heavily. This from a man in wholesale trade whose business is almost an even current through the year: “I walked up Broad street to day, Btoppcd in a halfdozen big stores and tried hard to settle my mind upon something for the madam. Although I looked over hundreds of things and bought nothing, the people in the store never uttered an impatient word or complained once of all the trouble I gave them. .Many of the stores were full of women, and you know shop-keepers who trade with women haven’t a bed of ruses at this season of the year.” “Have’nt jou determined yet?” “Oh, yes; I fixed it this morning, I think I have struck the right thing and it will he sure to please. It’s the prettiest chiua set you ever saw and came from L. L. COWDEItY & CO., who have them by the hundreds, and hundreds und thousands of other things just as pretty an.' useful. Such a display of beautiful things 1ms never before been seen, and there is not a pret tier crockery store south of Mason and Dixon’s line than Cowdcry’s.” “I want a lamp.” He was a bright young man. Last year he very scnstbly got married to a very sensible little woman, and the above remark was beard just as the reporter entered this glittering palace. The salesman soon had the young man’s mind In a whirl. He showed lamps and lamps. He exhibited three from Vienna with shades covered with fine brass filigree,inlaid with stained glasses of various hues that sparkled like jewels. “These are very new.” “Show me some American lamps.” Then the salesman conducted the young man to a table where there was a great array, in dozens of different styles. There were oxidized silver and copper effects, brass in all the wonders of brass-workers’art and no end of crystal and tinted glass. The scribe left the young man, to gether with half a hundred ladies looking at the beautifal things at Cowdery’s, while he went to fill an engagement with TI1E RUSSIAN COUNT. Profiting by his experience of Saturday morn ing with the count, tlio scribe found himself drifting with the tide of gay Christmas revelers and shoppers on Broad street yesterday morning in the full confidence that tlw gentleman from ttt. Petersburg would materialize at the proper time and the proper place. The count, however, is a man of surprises, and, laying aside for tho day miraculous manifestations, etc., walked quietly up to tho scribe as ho was gazing in rap tures over a myriad of bewildering things and stocking his castlo in Spain with the wealth of the world. Just step in hero and behold tho activity, the energy that pervado tho very atmos phere of this wonderful establishment. Neither you nor I need an introductian hero. It is the grand and progressive emporium of G. E. THOMAS, SR., known and justly known throughout Georgia, Alabama and Florida as the “No Shoddy Clothier.” There are two remarkable things that may be said about the establishment—people like to go there, and they feel at Lome when they get there. The manager and the clerks arc -cleverly persuasive men, and their nobby styles will do the rest. The house don’t find it neces sary any longer to advertise the prices of the goods, except in a few specialties. They put in print what they have, and if you weren’t born during a cyclone you will know that their goods are at least as cheap as at any store in the city. Stated generally, they keep clothing, furnishing goods and hats. Stated specifically, they keep anything a gentleman may need in tho way of making himself look “tony” and respectable. All men want just what Thomas has, and so do their boys and children. For instance, this is the Reason for fine overcoats, and Thomas’ is tho place to get them. In fact, from Thomas you can get a bargain in boys’ clothing, children’s cloth ing, neokwear, umbrellas, rubber and in all those things that are called furnishings. If you are an utter stranger in Columbus, inquire for Thomas; if not, you’ll go there without special invitation. You need go no farther unless you are in search of groceries, then go to W. J. WATT at the Rankin house corner and you will find as excellent stock of family groceries and plantation aupplies as were ever brought to Columbus. One can find nothing better than “good old ham, and there is none better in Columbus than at Mr. Watt’s. He has sugar-cured shoulders that are better thau the average ham. The best grades of flour ever made are in his stock. Ho has anything a family may need to eat. This house is famous tor the flavor of its teas and col- fees, and keeps always the very best of these very necessary articles of general consumption. They are plentifully stocked with all, and a great deal more, that may be required to make up t le happiness of a single day—even such a da >' the one that is close at hand. From the surfeit by anticipation of all these delicious wares, it is a positive relief to get back to the hardware an splendid realities of JOEL bush’s establishment, across the street from the Rankta bouse. It is quite true that Mr. Bush has mo particularly prepared for the “lioiny-han e so of toil,” in the way of plows and farming imp c- ments generally, but* his large and we assor stock of hardware embraces many things - will make the heart glad and wreathe the face m smiles on a Christmas morning. e s ^ re what you get from Mr. Bush is goo , u no who fails to drop in at w. s. freeman’s can get such another smoke, unless they ® retail dealer who sells “Grand Keym ’ 10 ros.” Besides dealing largely in family andI fa - cy groceries, he is a wholesale and reta. c e ler in tho “Grand Republic Cigarror warranted and unqualifiedly all Havana long filler mthout admixture or adulteration.

Their teas, coffees, etc., are pronounced by connoisseurs,and others who know much about such things, second to none in Co lumbus as to quality and flavor. They have all kinds ol canned goods, crackers, biscuit, fruits jed.es, preserves, pickles, and anything in that line. Hams, canvassed goods, sugar, Hour and other staple articles. One can eat until they feel like they want to die, so nice are these goods, but they should invest in the RAGLE AND PHENIX SAVINGS BANK, So that when they do shuffle off this mortal coil they can leave something as a memento. Your money is received there with a smile, and your dividends are disbursed w.th another smile with compound interest. The bank is down at the mill, and a magnificent building it is. To enjoy life after the most approved fashion, you must have either ot two things—a bank or a banker. It is not a prudent man who will select as his re pository the first bank he comes to, unless it be some such institution as the Eagle and Phenix Savings bank. The reason for that bit of philoso phy is that it is one of the bed-rock institutions of Columbus. It was established long ago on the soundest and safest of business principles, and bids fair to bo with us and for us for many a Christmas day to borne. Taking it for granted that you have— “But, count,” exclaimed the weary scribe, “don’t you really think we have gone far enough for one day? Suppose we hunt up some con venient shanty car and lie oft'until to-morrow, when we can again take up the thread of our dis course and go on to the bitter end?” And tho count replied: “Good enough! Shake!” LETTER FROM SEALE. News Notes nnd Personal Matters Laconically oted. Special Correspondence Enquirer-Sun. Seale, Ala., December 20.—I have been spend ing a night and a part of two days in this banner village of Alabama. Seale looks leafless and wintry; and the breezes that were but babies of Boreas in the autumn, are old enough to whistle and chill you now. But the fires glow on every hearth, and the old time Seale welcome is still free from the ring of the counterfeit coin. I don’t know a pleasanter place to spend a day of rest in than this is, and so I never go anywhere else often. Liko Columbus, Scale is on a Christmas trade boom, and the streets are full of people whose pockets are fall of money. There are few stores in Alabama which do a larger retail trade than one of tho stores in Scale does. I saw a half dozen wagons roll in from the country to-day, each bearing six bales of cotton, and upon each load of cotton perched the trade mark—an Ala bama nigger. There is money in farming in Russell county yet. There will be a red-lettered time socially in Seale during the holidays. The village is crowd ed with young people, and several entertain ments have been mapped out, among them a ball aud a banquet. Major J. F. Waddell, who has been quite sick of late, is able to he up now, and it is hoped will soon be entirely recovered. The excitement in regard to tho Carrlen-Saun- dera murder has become quiet, pending the trial in April. The two young Cardens are whiling the lonely days and nights away in their cells in tho bleak little jail on tho hill. H. D. H. Youth In Twelve Centuries. ! A handsome quarto volume and one that will attract immediate attention from its unique character and unusual beauty, is Yonth in Twelve Centuries, a series of twenty-four poems by Mrs. Mary E. Blake, elegantly illustrated by twenty- ! four ideal portraits drawn by F. II. Lungren. i These protraits illustrate types of several races ! through more than thirty centuries, the earliest I represented being the Egyptians in the time of the Pharaohs, and the latest the youth of Colo nial America. Tho list includes the artist’s ! ideals of tho young men and women of China 2000 years ago; the lads and maidens of ancient Greece and Rome; of Germany in the Middle Ages; of Spain and France, of Scandinavia, of Italy and of England. All are clad in national costume, and the artist has exercised extraordinary care to have, whenever it has been possible, every thing in the way of dress and head ornament historically correct. Equal care has been be stowed, too, in the drawing of the faces, to se cure historic types, and the reader will have but little difficulty, even with the names covered, to at once fix upon the nationality of the subject. The illustrations are on wood, each occupying a separate page, and are printed, with the text, on the fiuest paper. The binding is in handsome rloth An edition de luxe in folio is also issued with photogravure illustrations. For sale by D. Lothrop & Co., Boston. Price >2. HAPPY CHRISTMAS TO WHOM?

December 20.—A great deal of interest is being taken by the knights of labor in the case of Father MeGlynn, of New York. They are anxious, it is said, for a speedy decision in the matter, so that the order will know what to expect from the Catholic church. Some of the knights here say that if Catholics aru expected to leave the order, the church will be hurt more than the knights. They think their order might receive a sot. hack if tbo church should sit down upon it, hut. in such a case they would in time win much more than they could lose, nnd would know whom to tight in the future. In nn article in an organ of the kiglitt* in which the labor ami the Irish landlord iju stioru.’ia disetisised in connection with Father Me- Gly nt, is the tallowing paragraph: “When the church strikes at. the means of lift and nmk s it an article of faith Mint, tens of thotisaudsof Irishmen must toil and starve that an hundred English land lords may live in idle luxuiy, it ■ ! mply drives great masses of people out. of its foi l. Life is a struggle for existence, and when the church proposes to use the religious sentraent and theological supur- t,til.i,a of in si to make the struggle harder for thousands, while relieving no one from any struggle, then is rung the death knell of any church. Henry George’s theories can well stand tho anathema of the church, hut the church cannot afford to anathematize them.” .

I the., ascertained that 1 was differing with muscular rheumatism, which was so bad at night that I could not sleep. I used an Allcock’s Plaster on tho small of my back and one under each shoulder blade. I renewed them every fivo days, and in a month I was entirely well. Henry O. Archibald. Facts From Fortson. Fortson, Ga., Deceinber20.—On yesterday Rev. C. C. Willis, by invitation of the pastor, preached in his usual impressive style to an attentive con gregation at Mt. Zion church. Text: “Jehovah- Jiruh—-the Lord will provide.” After the cele bration of the Lord’s supper Rev. Mr. Willis an nounced that on next Sabbath that he would cel ebrate the closing up of his forty-sixth year in the pastorate of tho Bethel church, and he extended a cordial invitation to all his friends to come to that place next .Sabbath and hear him. This, ho said, is the oldest pastorate in the state, and by far the oldest except one, which was a little be hind it. Rev. Mr. Whiting and family are now tho guests of Mr. Eugene Allinond, the brother-in- law of Mr. Whiting. On Wednesday nigiit Mr. and Mrs. Allmond will call together a. few friends and neighbors and celebrate their wooden wed ding. Mr. and Mrs. T. W. Fortson left this morning on a general traveling tour. Mrs. A. 10. Williams nnd chrildren will accompany them as far as Macon on a visit to relatives at that place. Mr. Fortson will go directly to Savannah and thence to South Carolina, and perhaps to Florida before he returns. Mr. A. E. Williams will take charge of the store and railroad business, and act as postmaster during Mr. 1*orison’s absence. Mr. T, (J. Knight and family, recently of Bir mingham. are now occupying one-hall the resi dence of Mr. Fortson. While the former gentle man still clings to a little piece of Birmingham diri, he has determined to see what virtue tbero is for him in Fortson soil. We know there is a gold mine in our soil, and tho gold doesn’t como like it was shot out of a cannon’s mouth at us either. It conies in the regular way the healthy way—and Unit-is the l ost way after all. When a man makes a dollar by hard ticks he knows how it comes, and he will be more apt to know how it go* s.
