Christmas is near at hand, and everybody wants to buy something. Santa Claus, with his hoary locks
and troupe of reindeer is expected Monday, to bring jov to every heart and rub out the careworn wrinkle 8
from every face. In view of this wo throw out the following hints where to make your CHRISTMAS PUR

K. H LOU DEN HER.
Hero Is the regular City Cigar store. A
flno stock of Imported and| Domestic Cl
gurs. All grades of Chewing Tobaccos.
Various brands of Hmoklng and Fine-Cut
Tobaccos, Pipes, Stems, Tobacco Boxes
and Pouches, Pocket Match Safes and
Smokers’ articles generally. Next to Dal
ly Trims office.
VIRGINIA GROCERY.
Don't forget the Virginia Grocery,
owned by Captain McAdam. There you
will llnd everything to select a good din
ner from, and at living prices. Our space
is too limited to give a catalogue of the
numberless good things to be found In
this extensive and complete establish
ment, but we would briefly mention Mince
Meats, Currants, Raisins, Citron, Spices,
Jolllos. Canned Fruits, and the very best
Brandies, Wines and Whiskies in the city.
You can supply your pantry at the Vir
ginia Grocery, and save yourself the
trouble of going from plaoo to place. 8o
go there first, and our word for it, yon
will And all you want, and thoCaptaln will
treat you so clever, you won’t want to go
elsewhere.
THE LITTLE BON ANZA
has put on an entire new dress, and Is at
tired In a holiday suit. In this establish
ment everything to please the little ones
can tie found. Every kind of Toy, and all
sorts of Confectionery is in abundance.
All of tho Fruits are for sale there, from
tlfe Northern Apple to tho luclous Califor
nia Pear, and the juicy Florida Orange.
Tho proprietors of the Bonanza, Garrett
A Marcrum, have made every effort to
make their store attractive, and to serve
the public with every delicacy.
Boys must call there for their Firecrack
ers, that they may get good ones.
Santa Claus will be there Saturday.
W. 4. CHAFFIN
desires the public to call at his book storo
and select their Christmas gifts. Noth
ing Is, or can bo more appropriate as a
present to a lady than a well bound book.
Mr. Chaffin has all of the latest novels,
and in addition has the handsomest of
family Bibles. A Bible, well bound und
handsomely printed, is an acceptable
present to one’s father or mother.
Juvenile and Toy Books are scattered
over his store, while visitors can find
Chromos, Gold Pens, Stamped Paper nnd
Envelopes in abundance.
Go to-day and see Chaffin, ami make a
selection from his stock of Christmas
goods. You aro sure to find in his house
something that will make a most accep
table present, and of an appropriate
order.
LAYEiEED AND SANTA CLAUS
have evidently formed a conspiracy and
made headquarters at Layfleld's store.
We judge this from the appearance of
things, for no store In the city has more
real comforts to tho little ones, and the
more aged, than Layfleld presents. Toys
hy tho cart loads,and Fireworks until you
cannot rest, aro for sale. If you want
neither Toys, Dolls,Confectionery or Fire
works, surely you want the best of Bread
aud Cakes. The Cakes are plain or iced,
and the Bread is baked Fresh every day.
Times aro very dull, and money is very
scarce, so to make the least money go the
farthest, we advise a visit to Layfleld's.
THE GEM OF THE TROPICS.
Dr. J. L. Jordan, at his store, next door
to tho Messrs Kyle, has the rarest stock
of Toilet Goods and faucy articles for the
dressing ease that can bn found. His gem
olKhe troimos especially,is a treasure. As
a sweet perfume it Is too rich to bo
brought In comparison with the gonoral
line of Odorous Extracts and Colognes.
All articles sold by the Doctor are of the
highest class.
His Infallible Joyous Julep holds its
place among his popular specialties.
MR*. STEVENSON’S BAKER V.
During the coming week you ate

danoe. Go there to-day, and get what
Christmas goods you desire.

Emporium. Call and see them before you

or Chilstmas dinner, Itomnmber the
place and go there to-day.
THE SINGER SEWING MACHINE.
Of all the contrivances thut have been
devised to relieve the housewife of one of
Iter greatest troubles, and tho killing
wear and tear of constant needle work,the
Sewing Machine is tho most wonderful-
And the most wonderful of all tho varioub
patents of these Machines is the celebra
ted “Singer.’’ The many thousands of
these Machines scattered over every
part of tno civilized world, form an array
of witnesses to their superiority that can
not be questioned. Every household
almost testifies to their merits, and a
large proportion of the garments worn in
our datly walks prove their extensive use.
No other Machine has taken so many
prizes at so many fairs, where tests were
made-for no other Machine possesses so
many points of excellence. Scarcely a
stitch that can he made by the nimble fin
gers of tho most skillful lace worker, is
too intricate for this wonderful Machine.
Now got your wife one for a
gift. You can’t please her better, or pre
sent an article that will give half as much
satisfaction. See the agent to-day and
order a machine, for if you have not the
cosh, tho Company will let you pay for it
in installments.
Mr. Holt is tho Agent in this city, nnd
a more obliging gentleman is hard to
find.
WILLIAMS’ ART GALLERY.
one of the most attractive places during
tho Christinas, in fact at any and all sea
sons of the 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. You can spend an
hour very plesantly aud 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 ids 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.
Ho dees not claim to be tho best artist in
the world, but having had twenty-one
years practical experience in the business,
and during this time having kept up with
all tho Improvements in his art, ho fools
confident he can satisfy the most fasti
dious.
Wo cannat imagine a more appropriate
Christmas present to a loving parent or
absent friond t nan an elegant photograph
of yourself taken by Mr. Williams.

You aro walking around for a Christ
mas present for your wife, and you don’t

many articles of household furniture al

Fresh Bread. Rynehart has not only
Bread, but plenty of Cakes, Iced and
Plain.

Candies.

A. XI. BRAIXOX.
Mr. Brannon owns and controls two
drug stores, and for a Christmas present
he does not advise the purchase of pills,

Vases and Lamps. If you want to be

JNO. McGOUGH & CO.
This old established houso is before the
public still for their trade. By their strict
integrity, and attention to the wants of
their customers, they enjoy a reputation
second to no house in Georgia. This
Christmas they desire to sell more goods
than over, and with a view of pleasing
their customers and making their store
attractive, they have recently ordered a
lot of Dry Goods especially adapted to
the Christinas trade. They are therefore
prepared togive tho best of bargains In
all lines of Dress Goods and Dry Goods.
You cannot please your wife or any of
your lady relations, better than giving
them an elegant Dress, a pair of Kid
Gloves or a set of furs. They have the
prettiest of Shawls, while the various no
tions usually kept in a dry goods store
are complete. Give your wife anew set of
table linen, and she will be happy. All
these goods you can get at McGough’s
for the next few days at prices that can’t
fail to satisfy you. You want something
of this kind, so go to McGough’s and get
It.
DRY GOODS FOR 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 immense piles of goods
that he daily disposes of. Almost every
conveyance that leaves the city—whether
steamboat, railroad train, wagon or
pleasure carriage, carries balo3, packages,
piocos, or bundles of goods from Joseph's.
The people of tho country all around—far
and near—as well as those in tho city,
havo been convinced that no house in all
this whole section offers superior induce
ments or superior goods; hence the 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 make it perfect. Call for
whut you will and it appears before you
as if by magic. The finest fabrics seem
as abundant as the most staple goods,
and frequently the price is hut little high
er. And then Mr. Joseph lias a staff of
assistants that can seldom bo equaled.
Messrs. Frumpton. Peacock and Allen in
the general sales department, are all gen
tlemen of experience in tho trade and
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 Indies
just tho Department that they had long
felt a want of, but of the convenience of
which they have but recently been made
acquainted. This department is attended
by ladies who are thoroughly conversant
with all its details and mysteries. In a
word, the Dry Goods establishment of M.
JOSEPH is a credit to the city, and it fully
deserves the large patronage it is daily
receiving. He invites a careful inspec
tion of ids stock, and defies competition.
WITTICH A KIXSEL.
This popular Jewelry establishment IS
in full blast, and has on exhibition every
species of Jewelry, Silver ware and Parlor
ornaments. Tho latest novelties in Dia
monds, Watches nnd Clocks have been se
lected with a special view to the present
hard times. What more beautiful pres
ent for a young Indy, 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 ond to his saying
“it is about ten o’clock.”
NOW IS YOUK CHANCE
to get exactly what you want in the way
of Millinery.
Mrs. Lee bought a largo stock of winter
goods, and has still a large stock on hand,
which
must be bold,
and in order to sell must be disposed of
Cheap. Christmas is upon us all, and we
are engaged in looking about lor goods for
ourselves and presents for others. At
Mrs. Lee’s you can find both. Y'ou 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 are 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.
AT COWBEKY’S.
Going into Cowdory’s, we found bis
crockery establishment Afield, not only
with customers, but also with Christmas
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 graoed
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, washed filled with all manner
of crockery, and while there we saw in
prospective many a wife’s heart gladden
ed by the purchase of her Christmas tea
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
are oi the finest texture and finish, and
his prices are extremely moderate. By
prioing some of his goods, we solved the
problem why such a run had been made
on this “china-store”
4. J. A W. R. WOOD.
To make Christmas a euocees you must

LeGRAND WRIGHT
Invites tho public to call to-day and du
ring Christmas, and cover their hoods

ing for them ho will succeed. In addition
to his regular stock, he has ordered a

following beautiful und stylish Hats :

Tllden, Campaign.
Cavalier, Trump Card.

THE NICEST THINGS OUT.
If there is anything that makes a man
look more contented, and feel really more
comf rtable than a handsome Dressing
Gown to put on when quietly at home
with his family’, we would like to get it.
Thornton & Acer have tho very thing,
and this is the very time for Ladies who
wish to make their husbands or gentle
men friends a seasonable present to get
one. Messrs. Thornton & Aeoe also have
a splendid assortment of Gents Clothing,
and for Boys and Children their little suits
are simply beautiful.? For Hats for Gents,
Boys and Children every head can be
fitted, and every taste suited.
OYSTER AND FISH DEPOT.
People want Oysters and Fish, and the
place to get them is at Tube Newman's.
In connection with his Oyster depot, he
lias a first-class Restaurant that will be
provided with (every delicacy during
Christmas.
W. H. SAULS.
Go to Saul's and get your Christmas
Cigars. Ho can furnish you a lino Havun
na, or tho best Cigar in the market for
Hve cents, known as the “Deslgnn,” also
Sehooilield’s Chewing Tobacco.

From the appearance of tilings at Rob
inson’s, Santa Chars will make that store
his headquarters.
The best selected stock of confectionery,
toys, and fireworks in the city’ are at W.
T. Rubinson’s. In looking through his
stock wo saw everything to tempt the eye
and appetite of the young. Go there mid
look through ids stock before purchasing,
for, our word for it, you will llnd bargains.
THOMAS A’ PRESCOTT
Nothing sets off good looks better than
a nice iltting suit of clothes. You have
worn your old ones long enough, so go to
Thomas & Prescott’s and get fitted in one
of their new suits. Take your wife by
surprise by going homo with anew 6uit
If you dont do It,wo advise all wives to go
to Thomas & Prescott’s and order a suit,
and lake their husbands by surprise by

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.
T. T. EDM ENDS. *
We visited yesterday, on our Christmas
jaunts, the eregant Furniture Store of T.
T. Edmunds, where we found a most ele
gant assortment of Furniture, Fancy
Chairs, Lounges and everything else that
can bethought of In the 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 tho head of Christmas
presents, wo 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 be almost as
superfluous as to ask a starving man if
he*was hungry. Go there and get your
little boy a velocipede, and your little girl
a nice chair.
WELLS .V CURTIS’ SHOE HOUSE.
The wet weather yesterday drove us
into the old reliable Shoe house of Messrs.
Wells A Curtis to get something to
protect us from tho mud. We found no
trouble iu getting just what we wanted;
and we believe that will bo tbo experience
of every one who goes there to purchase
shoes. Theirs is the largest and com
pietest stock we have ever seen in Colum
bus, embracing all the elegant novelties
for dress, as well as the substantial grades
for tho streets and for plantation wear.
The School Shoes, for Girls and Boys,
especially attracted our attention—being
neat in style, and stout and strong for
service. The proprietors informed us that
they have customers all over the 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 Curtis. 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 how to have It made.
Next year they wifi try the exclusive
Cash system.
S. PIRREY
desires that the public wifi recollect him
during Christmas. He is at his old quar
ters on the Oglethorpe corner, with dreß6-
ed fowls and live fowls, all kinds and
species of confectionery, fruits, oranges,
fire-crackers, and a general assortment of
groceries, fresh and selected for the
Christmas trade. If you want a turkey,
go there, or if you want eggs he has them
in abundance.
.NIGHT AUCTION*.
Those of our readers who fall to find
among our list of Christmas goods any
thing to suit them In price, are Invited to

I*ROFE*KOK EVERETT. THE SPIR
ITUALIST (?)
A THIRD CLASS FRAUD!
' •
We do not like to denounce a man; but,
In tho case of Everett, the Spiritualist!?)
who showed last night in the Opera House,
wo are constrained, as a duty we owe the
public, to pronounce him a complete hum
bug and fraud! We are not prompted to
this from any opposition to Spiritualsm,
or any other sort of ism; but simply be
cause he did not begin to show what he
advertised. All he did was done In a cab
inet, and consisted In untying ropes and
getting out of handcuffs. This trick can
be performed by a half-dozen men in Co
lumbus. All tho other tricks he adver
tised, did not take place; and the snow
was such a complete and overpowering
humbug and fraud, that it "fatigues the
Indignation.”
To our brethren of the press we beg
they will copy this notice, aud not allow
their community imposed upon. Such
men ought not to be allowed to prey upon
our people, and tho sooner they are given
to understand it, tho better. All the ma
terialization presented last night was at
tho door in the shape of seventy-five cents
per head. If we ever get forgiveness for
even advertising such a fraud, we will
never be guilty again.
A third-class humbug Is a saint beside
him, and really his show is so poor that
it deserves not tho space we have given
it, but we really do not want to see this
man Everett “materialize” on our people.
He can't say this notice was written from
spite or anything olse, for he paid for his
advertisement, nnd gave us plenty of
dead head tickets, but still our honest
criticism is that ho is (as the follow said)
the and d’st fraud wo ever saw, and an
utter imposition upon tho public.
We have seen and heard of frauds, but
for baroraced frauds, humbuggery and a
downright absence of any consolenee, Ev
erett is the man. He is Ignorant,fraudulent
and without common shame. His show
is nothing, and if he has any spiritual con
nections, outside of John Barleycorn, they
come from the lowest depths of infamy
and fraud.
I’ass him around, and let him have the
full benefit of this free notice.
I. o. r-
At a meeting of Chattahoochee Encamp
ment No. 4,1. O. O. F. held last night at
the Lodge room, the following officers
were elected to serve for the ensuing six
months:

J. M. Layfleld, S. W.
J. E. Webster, J. W.

Death of Dorter Ellis.
Yestarday we saw a dispatch from At
lanta announcing the death of Porter
Elllis, son of Mr. D. P- Ellis. “Portie” as
ho was called, was one of the very best of
business young men. Soon after going
to Atlanla he found a lucrative situation
in one of the large Atlanta wholesale
houses, and they gave him the post of
trust in the house. While in Atlanta h
made many friends, and ho was looked
upon as a rising young man. In Colum
bus he was well known, and highly es
teemed by his employers and his friends.
He died Thursday night after a protract
ed illness of'fevor. The sympathies of
the public are ten Sored Mr. D. P. Ellis and
family. Porter was about 20 years of
age. , *' > ■
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
ers, and the merchant who keeps nearest
what they want, and keeps them informed
of the fact, is the one who will sell the
most goods—all other things being equal.
CHALLENGE.
CHALLENGE TO MR. EVERETT, OR ART
OTHER SPIRITUAL MEDIUM.
I, Jerome B. Wilhelm, spiritual exposer,
do hereby challenge Mr. George Everett,
or any other spiritual medium, to meet
me in Springer’s Opera House, in this city,
on any evening he may see fit, and on any
conditions ho may name, and for any
amount. I offer to do what he does without
the aid of spirits. Now, if Mr. Everett is
what ho claims to be, let him show up or
shut up. Jerome B. Wilhelm.
