Down town, *pe . laily on itrounhton street, the r#w..r --n-e was tht nt a small edition of Christmas eve There was a stood deal of noise, hot rather a scarcity of Christinas horns and fireworks. The fact was the people were too busy irntherlng up their Christmas bundle* nrtd got tin* In shape lor more freetlom on Christmas eve. Trie retail stores wire crowded all the evertosr, many of them staying open right up to 12 o'clock. While Ftroughton street was crowded almost as much as ts the . .isc on Christmas eve. there was noth, lug like the merriment that marks that occasion. However, here and them a straggling not# from a Christmas horn -uJd be heard, and now and then from a distance would come the sound of u innon cracker. IXrywhere the mercliants seamed to tx Invlng a lively trade, and packages were being sent out as rapidly as the de livery wagons, and the extra force of porters could carry them When there a sometimes doubt of getting packages out during the evening, the purchaser* would carry them themselves, and many •■hoppers could be seen going out H ill street with arms full of all sorts of bun dles. aiMli I hrialmas Hits the Pocket. Tte only melancholy thing almut Christmas Is the usual deficiency In the average pocket book; for the rest It la • glnr tsi* fun-making season of Joy and happiness Perhaps It Is a wise provision that |aople are so constituted lltut they vv tiu to do for others on tlmt occasion just n llitlw more than they feel Ih'-j are able to do; doubtless It add. to the weight and degree of the happiness of Ihe giver and of the recipient. After all. It is <> mailer of memory of friends and net the dollars and cents Involved that vtcs the true Joy anil happiness that comes with the holiday season. Christmas day this year will bring hup pile -s into many Savannah homes.

Is the memory of the ' ha r I table Institution* and their Inmates None of those in Savannah are ever for gotten, and this Christmas it 4- promised they will be well remembered. Baskets of food and bundle* of clothing will be col lee ted In many a household and sent to the widows and the orphan*.

The registry at the Bvan naiToffice Is doing an enormous business. It Is apparently more popul.tr than ll bus ever been hgtore. For the last two or three and lys there have been crowds around the registry window at all hours of the day. receiving or sending packages or let ter*. Postmaster I*)ie found It neces sary yesterday to put five clerks In the registry department, and even then they could hardly attend to the heavy business.

The Indications are that the Jug trade this year will bo heavy. ffhfttdiTy Intervening will cause a con gestion of mall matter at the Posloffl e. There being no leilvery of mail to-day, the Christmas letter* and packages will accumulate In quantities The PoWtofflra will deliver all of the mail matter that Is called for this morning, but that will get comparatively little of It out of the way, MS few* go there on Sun*lay. However, this morning * mall delivery will b*. much larger than Is usually the case on Sun day. and on that account there will be extra arrters on duty. These extra car riers will also aid In the delivery of mall to-morrow, and on Christmas morning, there being only one delivery on Tuesday. The stamp window and the registry le partment will he open in the morning, but the money order department will be doted. FO* Ht VTMIV SWAPPED V HIM.
