AMONG TBE MERCHANTS WHO
HAVE SUGGESTIONS TO MAKE
ABOUT “KRIS KRINGLB."
Sound Suggestions.
Reaping the harvest of a well-cultured
field; striking while the iron is hot, and
many other appropriate sayings will express
the position and the enterprise of the lead
ing * 'one price” clothier* of Savannah.
The “candle” has burned and the luoky
guessers have received their rewards for
their minute calculations. The excitement
created by this novel contest was only a
"marker" to the genuine interest taken in
the great “blue letter inventory sale” at
Appel & bchaul’s.
It is a well-known fact that the goods
which this firm offers for sale are far ahove
the average garments In point of stylo and
finish, as special care it taken in the mako
up, under the personal supervision of one
of the firm, who is one of the most expe
rienced and practical clothing men in this
country; that the prioes marked in plain
figures at the beginning of the season are
es low as alt the “special inducement”
sales of all competitors, that when it be
comes necessary to close out the stock and
prepare for an annual inventory, they
mark their goods in plain “blue figures,” at
a reduction of the prices already marked,
there Is a discount that attraots the patron-
age of the masses.
There are, however, a few suggestions to
be made to the ladies which will he of bene
fit to them in selecting suitable prosents for
Christmav. The boys mu6t be looked after,
and as they do not care for dolls and vases,
the beet thing is to call nt Appel & School's
aud make a selection of things which will
be of service and at the same time be very
acceptable. Look at this:
MKRRY CHRISTMAS.
The girls all met for a jolly good time.
And to tell of the gifts they would make;
Every one eager to near from the other
And know what she bad at stake.
There sat Kate and Jennie and Bes3,
Chatting with Mary and Lou,
'While Ida and Al were busy together.
And Susie and Emma were “blue.”
Then Julia arrived, and then came Ann,
Now Carrie and Minnie and Grao \
When in came Maggie and Hose and Fan,
All dressed In velvet and lace.
The first to speak, with pride and Joy,
Was Mary, the sweetest of all.
Who held to the crowd that gathered around.
The slippers she had made for Paul.
Then pretty Lou stepped up to the door.
And slyly whispered to Jane,
That she had made from her own dark hair,
Something for John—a chain.
°ut of this crowd there was no one else
, "ho had decided what to send;
She had thought and thought to no avail,
And given it up in the end."
The jolly faoes grew weary and blank:
The girls felt troubled and • blue,"
for the days were swiftly flying past.
And Christmas at hand, they knew.
Too short a time to crochet slippers,
R „i m ke hi® a neat watch case,
bo In silence they mused, when in at the door
Burst dear little Ruth’s bright face.
"Why goodness, gradoua! What does this
mean*"
••Wh**' 1 *]?® busy Ruth.

Coins, Susie, tell me the truth."
Then Susie told how the girls all felt,

Common Sense and Useful Presents.
ft is not surprising to the general publlo
that the crowds continue to flock at the
store of Morrison, Foye & Cos., where the
great dissolution sals has been going on for
the past month.
The proprietors have demonstrated to the
public that this sale was a legitimate offer
ing to olose out a large and valuable stock
of goods for a legitimate purpose.
They oame to see the goods and the prices.
They were convinced of the honesty of pur
pose, and they have continued to go thsrs
to reap the benefits of the astonishingly low
prices placed on goods of high value.
There is no lull in demand for the fash
ionable dry goods whiob Morrison, Foye &
Cos. are placing before the public. Nothing
like the vast and exoiting sale has evsr oc
curred in the city. While the great stack
has been reduced, there are mauy varieties
of ohoice goods left to select from.
Here is a lins of goods most desirable for
Christmas presents:
What nicer than a handsome silk dress!
What more agreeable to the boys than a
new salt of clothes?
What more acceptable for a lady or boy
than one of those splendid cloaks?
All these and more are on the list. They
have fine kid gloves, aud hosiery, too, be
sides a large line of table sets, linens, nap
kins and other valuable and elegant things
suitable for holiday gifts.
All these, at prices not exceeding their
actual cost to manufacture, are placed on
the counters, and in these times of a scarcity
of oash it is a great comfort that every one
can be supplied with the articles they wish
at such a small expenditure.
The life of the town has been exoited over
this great sale, and tho great dissolution
offermg3 of Morrison, Foye & Cos. will be
long remembered as one of the events of
189 L
Guaranteed for a Year.
I have found the most unique and valua
ble gift for you to present to your friend.
If you are anticipating giving a token of
your friendship you will find nothing more
acceptable than one of
"DENT'S LONDON MADE” SILK UMBRELLAS.
Theee goods are guaranteed for one year.
If a rib break. If the cover wear out, if the
stick break, or, in fact, if any part of the
umbrella gives way within twelve months,
it will be repaired or replaced by the Falk
Clothing Company, who are sole agents for
these celebrated goods, and have a flue line
instock. . ... .
These umbrellas are made of the very best
material; they fold particularly closely,
making a neat and handsome appearance.
They oome in sizes and styles for both ladles
and gen lemoo, the designs in handles being
very stylish and attractive.
What nioer gift for a friend than an um
brella, especially when you can get suoh
exquisite ones and you can give them know
ing that they will wear so long?

Fcreslghted Preparations.
Tho most important things should be con
sidered when it oocnes to Christmas festivi

The grocer plays this most Important
part.
The good housewife is now making pur
chases of the best selections of all kinds of
artioles that satisfy tbs inner man and
make the heart glad.
Special lines of elegant varieties of the
choicest goods are displayed by the Estate
of S. W. Branoh, comer Broughton and

tion of all the delicacies of the season.

A Basement Bazar.
“Just take a peep into our basement,
good Mr. Santa Claus."
That’s what 1 exclaimed as I landed on
the ground floor of the Immense establish
ment on the corner of Broughton and Bull
streets yesterday.
There is nothing there whiob fails to at
tract the attention of all visitors. The
various novelties which are displayed is an
exhibition of the usual excellent taste of the
establishment. Nothiag it left undone. The
pleasure of the children it considered, the
delight of the older heads is calculated upon
and the general turn of business is looked
after in a way that meets the approval of
every one.
Thera is no neoessity to go into detail, and
mention that Altmayer ft Cos. have a fine
assortment of dolls; that thsy are head
quarters for the leading novelties In all
holiday goods. The faot spsaks for itself.
Everybody knows it, and everybody goes
there lor goods to suit the season.
Noveltioe in Jewelry.
Nothing so Interests the ladles at this
season of ths year as thoughts of presenting
gifts to their fnends. Christmas comss
along with its usual regularity, and tho
jewelry stores reap the benefits of the
season. Naturally these attractive estab
lishments are first sought whoa a valuable
and lasting token of regard and friendship
is to be given.
There is a stringency in the money mar
ket, therefore sales are comparatively slow,
considered with the enormity of ths general
business. But, notwithstanding the dull
times, there is one place in Savannah where
the public have found (bat goods of this

novelties of the season.
That place is J. H. Koch's.

seoured a large line of watches, diamonds
and jewelry of all kinds. These goods must

ingly low prioes been placed on goods.
Aston extra inducement to purchasers,
this leading establishment offers to give a
handsome diamond necklaoe to some of
their numerous customers. Ths conditions
of the arrangement will he explained at the

Acceptable Prosents.
There are no more acceptable presents
than the elegant novelties whioh are found
at the furniture stores.
No matter how many chairs there are in
the house, there is always a place for an
other rocker. No matter how maoy babv
carriages there are in the family, anew one
makes a desirable present. No matter how
many wagons and ralocipodas the boys huve
had in the past, they are eager for another.
No matter how riiee the now parlor oarpet
looks, it only demands that new curtains
must be supplied, and rugs of a richer
hue shall supply the old ones. No
matter how many old-fashioned
pictures are hung upon tho wall there is a
place for some of the handsome etchings,
pastels and engravings of the dsy.
All these are in grand holiday profusion
at Emil A. Sohwarz's, the leading furniture
and carpet dealer of the city of Savannah.
For Christmas presents In that line you will
do well to call at this mammoth establish
ment, 125 and 127 Broughton street.
The Things You Book For.
It Is always a task to think of wbat to
present to a friend, therefore, I would sug
gest that you go at once to A. Trum, the
proprietor of the Screven Honse cigar stand,
and tell him of your dilemma.
He will suggest that you present your
"oomrade” with oue of those elegant pipes,
or a box of good cigars, of which he has
many choice brands, or perbaDS you would
prefer one of the latest novelties in walking
canes or an umbrella.
Buy tbem and then you will ask for your
morning paper and go away satisfied that
you have done your duty to your friend and
to yourself.
A China Palace.
Truly, there is no mistake about it. The
grandest exhibition of fine crockery and
glassware is now on exhibition at West’s
china palace. It is now that crowds con
gregate to this popular establishment to sc
ours the ohoicest novelties for Christmas.
The elegant exhibition of out glass and
decorated china in tha windows is only a
small sample of ths grand display on the
inside. Never before has suoh preparations
been made to please the public with holiday
goods that are useful as well as orna
mental.
Husbands can make tbe hearts of their
wives glad by a present of one of these ele
gant dinner sets whioh are so remarkably
low in price.
If you wish to present a friend with
something that will be of intrinsio value
you must go to West’s to get it. The charm
ing display ef hanging lamps and standard
lamps can not bs exoelled anywhere in the
