ChrUtmM Thing*.
“Have you bought your Christmas
things?” we heard a lady say yesterday
to a friend slio met on Broad stroet,
“Not yet; I’m going now to do
was the * response. Lady No. 1 Hum
said: “Just lot me givo you some ad
vice. Go to Mr. Bayfield's and buy
what you want. He has got every
thing, and Ills prices are not half as
high as these Broad stroet stores. For
a dollar yoil can buy toys enough for
t wo or three families. Besides, if you
want any cakes, candies, fruit, Ac., ho
has the host in the market, and not at
murderous prices. He makes the boRt
bread and cakes. So take my advice
and go there.” Curiosity led us to fol
low, to ascertain the result. Half an
hour afterwards we saw the advised
lady coming out of Layfield’s loaded
with bundles. She had bought her
“Christmas things” and was happy by
following the advice of her friend. Wo
recommend all who want Christmas
things at low prices to go to Bayfield's,
Dime Navlufa,
You do not buy thread, buttons or
cloth of short or fraudulent count or
measure, nor eoffoe, sugar or butter of
short weights; then why buy and pay

Powder which is twenty to thirty per
cent, short weight. Dooley’s Yeast

A uiorl.M. Day Air Oar Toira.
It was a big day for Columbua. Tbe
streets were -crowded with country
wagons. No day since the war has
there been aueb a jam, and llie circus
lias never produced as large a crowd of
people. Men, women and children
rowded the stores, looking, trading,
buying, j^very dealer, from the little
darkey with his peanut basket to the
largest wholesale merchant, were liap-
py. To the question, “How Is trade?”
the Invariable reply was, “Never bet-
liaven't bad time to sit down to
day.” Many of our merchants say that
they could have sold much more than
they did if they could have waited on
their customers. There was moro mon
ey spent yesterday for luxuries than
any day since the war. There was less
bargaining or beating down In price,
the merchants say, than they ever saw.
Everybody appeared to have money,
and apont it freely. This state of af
fairs is certainly gratifying, nnd may
be regarded as the harbinger of contin
ued prosperity and improved condi
tion which nil have been so anxiously
look for lo these many years.
Yesterday was the first (lay we ever
knew in Columbus when policemen’s
services were required to clear the ve
hicles so as to allow passage and pre
vent a confusion. While everybody
appeared happy, we saw but few who
were glorious. One or two gentlemen
ovornome by their too frequent
generosity, hut they were not boister
ous or riotous, ami were moved to re
tired quarters without trouble.
The cotton receipts yesterday wore
larger than any one day since the war.
The week's receipts of cotton also foot
up larger than any woek during the
same period,
INCIDENTS.
Mr. Joseph Belk, of Marion county,
sold ids cotton nnd received a check
from the Lowell Warehouse on the
Chattahoochee National Hank for
9108.00. Tho cheek was lost, and Mr.
B.. as soon as lie discovered the loss,
went to tho bank to stop its payment,
when lie was informed tha the check
had boon paid. Investigation proved
that tho check had boon found by a
man wiio resides about toil miles north
of the city. He is said to be a reliable
man, and hod exhibited the check lo
sevoral parties while in ids possession.
But wliy he had it cashed instead of re.
turning it to the drawer is a mystery.
Mr. Bolk’s countenance does not beam
witli the happy smile that adorned it
early this morning.
Kupen was much excited, and gave
vent ill broken English : “Don’t you
vns dink I makes him drunk, for he
gets noting here, and mo tell him me
gili him five cents if lie got out. He no
do so. I put him out. Dot's all vat I
nose.’’
One gentlejnan found ten dollars and
felt so good that lie promiso, if an
Owner didn’tappeur before Monday he
would invest tho bill in big turkeys
and divide with his clerks. We are a
clerk.
A little barefooted girl was seen cry
ing, and on investigating the cause of
her grief she said she had two nickels
to buy a doll witli and had lost ono of
them. The crowd made a purso of ten
nickels for tho little waif, and sho went
off with dry oyos and a happy lieart.
country darkey came to grief by
his generous treatment to a Dog Alley
lielle. Sho somehow managed to get
the man's pocket-book. But he dis-
overod ids loss, kicked up a lighting
row and tho dusky belle deemed it best
to give it back without a fuss. But
five dollars was short when lie balanced
Ids cash.

New Year's Da; and Callers.
It comes next Tuesday week, and
will, we trust, lie the beginning of a
most prosperous year to all. On that
day many nuiko vows to abstain from
bad habits ami extravagances, which
are generally broken before half the
year is gone. All “turn over a new
leaf" except tho merchant, who re
solves he will quit turning them over,
for it lias nearly broke him. In fact,
all seem to be starting anew, and there
are few but that, from some eauso or
other, look back on the past witli re
gret and think of "what might have
been.”
Many ladies of tho city will receive
callers, to begin the new your witli kind
feelings and a glass of wine. The gal
lant beaux will be out, somo probably
with four-in-hand, the better portion of
the day and until the “we sma’ hours”
of ttie morning. To them we would
say take out the lead horses bol'ore
dark, or your tailor may havo a suit of
clothes to clean, or your physician an
arm or leg to sol, or possibly worse—
the undertaker might get a job.
For several years those who intend
receiving havo sent in their names for
publication. This plan was found to
work admirably, as it saves the callers
tlie trouble of driving all over tho city.
All the Indies who will receive are re
quested to send in their names, and
also the names of those receiving with
them, the day before New Year.

ing, perhaps more than forty-fivo years
ago. A gentleman, who called our ut-
trntion to the sign, said that lie came lo
this city forty-three years ago, and
those gentlemen, J. S. Smith A Co., two
lirothors, were merchandizing at that
location at that time. Tho sign-paint
ing was done by William Snow, da-
oeased.
t'nnnd Dead.
Thursday morning a negro named
Jerry King while on his way to this
city fell dead in the road. He was a
farmer in Chattahoochee county and
was bringing cotton to the city. He
sent the wagon ahead with a boy, while
lie ivalkod leisurely along. The boy
came to the city and waited several
hours for Jerry, who did not “show
up,” when a search was made, which
resulted.in finding him lying in the
road, dead. There were no marks of
violence on him, and it is supposed he
died of heart disease.
The divorce eases were called, four
continued and none tried.

Last night a countryman was coming
up Oglethorpe street and fell in the cel
lar of Mr. llcnry Everett's store. He
was pulled out by some of his friends
and found to lie hurt very badly al
though nothing serious. From a cut on
his forehead a stream of blood was
pouring as large as a mail's finger,
whieli frightened the crowd, who
thought his skull crushed. A physi
cian was found who dressed the wound
and the next time he comes to town he
will lie more particular as to where he
walks.

The steamer Wylly is expected at the

is cotton. Wednesday afternoon about
J o'clock, twenty miles lielow Eufaula,

Cotton Situation.—For the second time
this season the receipts at the United States
ports are greater than the same period last
year. At the same rate the figures will not
take long to catch up and overbalance the
deficiency from this and last year. Of this
we need have no expectation for we may
expect receipts to fall oft*rapidly in the next
two mouths. Liverpool and New York
under the influence of these heavy receipts
have declined, and the European complica
tions have helped the decrease. The prob
ability no matter how remote that England
may he involved in the contest has greatly
hurt cotton. Our own impression Is the
United States crop will not much exceed
four million bales. The receipts at Colum
bus this week have been the heaviest of Any
since the war, and the stock decreased 2,723
Comparison With Last Year. —The
United States ports receipts are 287,230 less
bales; the exports, 223,367 less; the stock,
127,119 less; Columbus receipts,5,589 less;
