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.
