bailments, of ene character and anether, but

Novelty Store, at King's old coreer. It is s
thing of beauty aid would do credit to any
eity in Georgis. In addition to a large stock
of chins ware, vases, lamps, fine watches,
eloeks, jewelry, silverware, nevelties aud art
goods, the Novelty Store has bow iu etoekau
elegant variety ef Christmas goods, comp ris¬
en infinite assortment of articles bought es¬
pecially for the Christmas trade, aud we are
frank to say that we do not believe our peo¬
ple can do better in Atlanta or elsewhere ip
the seJection.'of their holiday presents. They
are ahowiag mauy new novelties this season
that have not been offered here before, while
their steck of fine jewelry is especially at¬
tractive .
As a rule, the people do not conclude what
they will buy until the last two or three
days before Christmas, aud then it it a rush,
customers often finding that by delaying-
something that they had nearly made up
their minds earlier to buy is no iouger in the
market when they are ready to purchase.
While Uie sales at the Novelty Store have
been immense, they still have a fine assort¬
ment uad all will find it pleasant and profit¬
able to call, whether they have purchased or
not.
