From Spalding, Pike, Lamar, Pike, Meriwether, Fayette, Butts, Henry, Coweta and Monroe coun ties the merry gift buyers are invading the city. Praise of the wonderful stocks of Christmas' merchandise carried by Griffin merchants and the un usual values to be found here is to be heard on every hand. Probably never before m Its history has Griffin been so abun dantly supplied with goods suit able for holiday gifts. On top of that, the backward winter weather has kept goods on the shelves that ordinarily would have sold before now with the results that most of the mer chants are reducing their prices sharply in order to move these goods. These reductions have been extensively advertised with the result that they have drawn to the city hundreds of buyers anxious to take advantage of the savings. The large department stores of Griffin are enjoying exceptional business and predict that all rec ords will be broken before Christ mas, and all smaller stores are enjoying a gratifying trade. Wmvmws STATE su HI im r FOR SHOW BI6 GAIN 8 Atlanta, Dec. 19.—Up to this date the state treasury has paid out more money on appropriations and state government operating expenses than in any December in a good many years—and the old state isn’t broke yet.
