THE SINGER SEWING MACHINE.
Of all the contrivances that havo been
derived to relieve the housewife of one of
her greatest troubles, and tho killing
wear and tear of constant needle work,the
Machine is the most Wonderful. And
the most wonderful of all tho various
patents of these Machines is tiie celebra
ted “dinger.” The many thousands of
these Machinos scattered over every
part of tne civilized world, form an array
of witnesses to their superiority that can
not Ik questioned. Every household
almost testifies to their niorits, and a
large proportion of the garments worn iu
our daily walks prove their extensive use.
No other Machine has taken so many
prizes at so many fairs, where tests wore
made—for no other Machine possesses so
many points of excellence. Scarcely a
stitch that can be made by the nimble lin
gers of tho most skillful lace worker, is
too intricate for this wonderful Machine.
Mr. Holt is the Agent in this city, and
a more obliging gentleman is hard to
find.

WILLIAMS' ART GALLERY.
ono of the most attractive places during
the Christmas, in fact at uny and all sea
sons of tho year, in Columbus, is the
Drawing Rooms of G. T. Williams' Art
Gallery, over Dr. Carters’ drug store. It
is a treat to go there. Y’ou can spend an
hour very plesantty and profitably in ex
amining his varied and superb collections
of Photographic Art Pictures. He
charges nothing for looking, being al
ways glad to have any one visit him and
examine his collection. If you should
want your picture taken in the highest
style of art, he can do it, and at figures
that will surprise you in their smallness.
He does not claim to bo the best artist in
tho world, but having had twenty-one
years practical experience in tho business,
and during this time having kept up with
all tho improvements in his art, ho feels
confident he can satisfy the most fasti
dious.
We cannat imagine a more appropriate
Christmas present to a loving parent or
absent friend tnan an elegant photograph
of yourself taken by Mr. Williams.

hr Y (mans roit the million.
Mr. M. Joseph, at his Palatial store,
west side of Broad street, is most bril
liantly illustrating the DRY GOODS
TRADE of Columbus. It is astonishing
to witness the immenso piles of goods
that he daily disposes of. Almost every
conveyance that leaves the city—w hether
steamboat, railroad train, wagon or
pleasure carriage, carries bales, packages,
pieces, or bundles of goods from Joseph’s.
The people of the country all around—far
and near—as well as those in the city,
have been convinced that no house in all
this whole section offers superior induce
ments or superior goods; hence tho ever
lasting rush that is observable to get to
his counters, by those in search of hand
some goods and low prices. His stock is
a marvel of completeness— scarcely an ar
ticle needed to muke it perfect. Call for
whut yuU wiltand it appears before you
as if by magic. The linest fabrics seem
as abundant as tho most staple goods,
and frequently the price is but little high
er, And theu Mr. Joseph has a staff of
assistants that can seldom bo equaled.
Messrs. Frumpton. Peacock and Allen In
the general sales department, are nil gen
tlemen of experience in tho trade arid
widely known as excellent and obliging
salesmen.
The Ladies’ Department has proved a
success fur beyond its early flattering
promise, for it has supplied to the ladies
just the Department that they had long
felt a want or, but of tho convenience of
which they have but recently been made
acquainted. This department is attended
by ladies who are thoroughly conversant
with ail its. details and mysteries. Iu a
wold, the Dry Goods establishment of M.
JOSEPH Is a credit to the city, and it fully
deserves the large patronage it is daily
receiving, lie invites a careful inspec
tion of his stock, and defies competition.
WITTK H .Sr KINSKI..
This popular Jewelry establishment is
in full blast, and has on exhibition every
species of Jewelry, Silver ware and Parlor
ornaments. The latest novelties in Dia
monds, Watches and Clocks have been se
lected with a special view to the present
hard times. What more beautiful pres
ent for a young lady, than a Locket, Ring
or set of Jewelry. If you would make
your married lady friend happy, give her
one of their elegant Clocks, that she may
know what hour the head of the family
arrives, and thus put an end to his saying
“it is about ten o’clock.”
NOW IS YOV R CHANCE
to got exactly what you want in the way
of Millinery.
Mrs. Lee bought a largo stock of winter
goods, and lias still a large stock on hand,
which
MUST ISF, SOLD,
and in order to sell must be disposed of
Cheap. Christmas is upon us all, and wo
are engaged in looking about for goods for
ourselves and presents for Others. At
Mrs. Lee’s you can tincl both. You will be
able to find exactly what you want, and
something entirely suitable for a present.
Gentlemen who desire to present their
wives with a Christmas gift aro advised
to call to-day. and learn from Mrs. Lee
what a woman would most desire. Mrs.
Lee knows exactly what ladies most ad
mire, and she can tell you what to buy.
A. XI. BRANNON.
Mr. Brannon owns and controls two
drug stores, and for a Christmas present
he does not advise the purchase of pills,
but he keeps’outside of drugs nice Christ
mas presents in the shape of Toilet Sets,
Vases and Lamps. If you want to be
particularly popular you can get a bottle
offsweot.cologne or Lubin’sbest as a pres
ent for Christmas. Such investments
would prove very acceptable. Mr. Bran
non also has a large lot of fancy articles,
and from them you will be able to select a
suitable present.
A MOREL DRY LIOOIt STORE,
and whore to buy exactly what you want,
and and at I tie lowest prices, is at
JONES’.
Weyire willing to stake opr reputation
on the fad that Jones lias more custom
ers than any one else. It is owing to the
splendid stock lie k*t*ps, and secondly (in
pur I'bUumUou) that ho advertises liber
ally In the Times. But let that lie as It
may, we are asking the public to patron
ize 51r. Jones because ho has a fine stock
of dry goods, and because wo do not
know of a place whore better bargains
can be h-td.
Mr. Jones has not lost sight of the
Christmas trade, and hence has provided
his store with everything needful to meet
the wants ol bis numerous customers.
Think of what you want. What will be
the most acceptable present? People
may differ, but something lasting and
serviceable la tho thing, and you can’t do
butter than go to Jones' and select
A Pretty Shawl, A Set of Cuffs,
A Cashmere Dress, A Set of Collars,
A Navy Blue Dress, A Bolt of Ribbon,
A dozen Handk’fs, Yourown goods,
A Beautiful Calico, Your Domestics.
If we have not mentioned anything to
suit your taste, go to Jones’s and we
know you will find exactly what you
want.
There can be no doubt about Jones'
goods or his customers, but he wants
more customers, and hopes that every
body will call at ills store and purchase
their dry goods.

his headquarters.

T. Robinson’s. In looking through his
stock wo saw everything to tempt the eye
and appetite of the young. Go there and
look through bis stock before purchasing,

AT DOWBEKI’S,
Going into Cowdery’s, we found his
crockery establishment fiileld, not only
with customers, but also with Christinas
goods. Time was when china was rare
and Liverpool ware everywhere. But
now china is moderately cheap, and the
shelves of the “china-shop” are graced
with the most lovely specimens of art in
figures and pictures of exquisite coloring.
His store, which is one of the largest in
the city, was well filled with all manner
of crockery, and while thero we saw in
prospective many a wife’s heart gladden
ed by the purchase of her Christmas taa
set. a porcelain vase for her mantle, or a
set of Bohemian glass ware.
His glass and china ware is of the latest
designs and coloring. His imported goods
aro oi the finest texture and finish, and
his prices are extremely moderate. By
pricing some of his goods, we solved the
problem why such a run had been made
on this “china-store”
T. TANARUS, EDM UNDS.
We visited yesterday, on cur Christmas
jaunts, the elegant Furniture Store of T.
X. Edmunds, wtiere we found a most ele
gant assortment of Furniture, Fancy
Chairs, Lounge* and everything elso that
can bethought of lu tiro furniture line.
In these hard times it is true economy
to buy a Christmas gift, it matters not
what it costs, that is not perishable, but
that will last and be of use for years. To
those who do not consider that houso fur
niture comes under the head of Christmas
presents, we would suggst the propriety of
commencing the new year with new
furniture entire, or at least with such ad
dition to this year’s as the wife may deem
necessary. To say that Edmunds sold
goods economically, would bo almcst as
supoifiuous as to ask a starving man if
heiwas hungry. Go there and get your
little boy a velocipede, and your little girl
a nice chair.
THOMAS A PBESCOTT
Nothing sets off good looks better than
a nice fitting suit of clothes. You haver
worn your old ones long enough, so go to
Thomas A Prescott’s and get fitted in one
of their new suits. Take your wife by
surprise by going home with anew suit
If you dont do it,we advise all wives to go
to Thomas A Prescott’s and order a suit,
and take their husbands by surprise by
having them ready’ for him to don early
Christmas morning. The weather is
balmy now, but cold weather is coming
on, and you will need an overcoat- Take
advantage of the reduction m clothing
and get you an overcoat. Thomas A
Prescott are anxious to sell theirs, and of
course you can get a bargain by going
there to-dav or to-morrow. Don’t put it
off, but put on anew suit of clothes. You
will feel better and look happier.
WELLS A t'ERTI*' SHOE HOUSE.
The wet weather yesterday drove us
into tliaold reliable Suck house of Messrs.
Wells A Curtis to get something to
protect us from the mud. We found no
trouble In getting just what we wanted;
and wo believe that will bo the experience
of every ono who goes there to purchase
shoes. Theirs is the largest and com
pletes! stock we havo ever seen In Colum
bus. embracing all the elegant novelties
for dress, os well as tho substantial grades
for the streets and for plantation wear.
The School Shoes, for Girls and Boys,
especially attracted our attontlon—being
neat in style, and stout and strong for
service. The proprietors Informed us that
they have customers all over tho country
—even In Texas—to whom they send
shoes by Express. Atlanta and Macon,
too, have citizens who can only be suited
to shoes by Wells A Cubtxs. We could
easily account for all this, for we know
these gentlemen are so thoroughly ac
quainted with the Shoe business In all its
details, that they understand what to have
made and hoic to have It made.
Next year they will try the exclusive
Cash system.
LAYFIEI.D AND SANTA CLAES
have evidently formed a conspiracy and
made headquarters at Laytleid’s store.
We judge this from the appearance of
things, for no store in the city has more
real comforts to the little ones, and the
more aged, ttian Layfleld presents. Toys
by the cart loads,and Fireworks until you
cannot rest, are for sale. If you want
neither Toys, Dolls,Confectionery or Fire
works, surely you want the best of Bread
and Cakes. The Cakes are plain or Iced,
and the Bread Is baked Fresh every day.
Times are very dull, and money Is very
scarce, so to make the least money go the
farthest, we advise a visit to Laytleld’s.
VIRGINIA GROCERY.
Don’t forget tho Virginia Grocery
owned by Capt. McAdams. There you
will feel everything to select a good din
ner from, and at living prices. We
don’t specif}’, because everything is kept.
If you want good Egg-Nogg, send for
some of his Rum. It is the best.

Willcex * Insurance Agency.
Willcox’s Insurance Agency has grown
totoooneofthe institutions of Columbus
that business men have learned to regard
as a necessity that a constant liability
to be burned out has placed upon them,
and as a reliance at the same rime to
shield them from the terrible losses’that
tiros entail on all commercial communi
ties.
This agency has a list of companies in
which to place risks, that have stood the
severest tests that insurance writers iiave
ever incurred inthis country. The aggre
gate capital of the several companies rep
resented by Mr- Wiilcox amounts to over
Thibty-Five millions of dollars—enough
to defray the expenses or a dozen or so
State Governments— and It is all subject
to the claims of their policy ho ders.
Besides all this Mr. Wiilcox and Col.
Iverson are two of the pleasantest gentle
men to do business with that can be found.
Their rates are always liberal, their ad
justments fair und losses properly paid.
Mere Haiti.
It rained again yesterday. We hope
the rain will be over and let us have a few
days of sunshine to enjoy our Christmas
in. It is said by tho "oldest" inhabitant
that if it rains four days before Christ
mas, it will be dry on Christmas day. We
have seen it dry on several Christmas
and lys, but the dryness existed among the
follows who came up the night before to
enjoy Ghristmas.

The Times
Is read by hundreds of families in Colum
bus and vicinity, and is therefore a first
rate medium for advertisers. The fami
lies of a community are its great consum

what they want, 'and keeps them informed
of the fact, is tho one who will sell the
most goods—all other things being equal.

There is no doubt but the present condi

is fearfully depressed, and it behooves
every family to look carefully to their ex
penses. Winter is coming on when chil
dren are liable to Croup, Whooping
Cough, etc. Coughs and Colds will pre
vail everywhere, and Consumption, with
other throat and lung diseases, will carry
off many—-These diseases should not be
neglected. Doctor’s bills are expensive,

failed. One bottle at 75 cents 'will keep
your whole family well during the winter.
