Christmas is nour at hand, and everybody wants to buy something. Santa Claus, with his hoary locks and troupe of reindeer is expected Monday, to bring joy to every heart and tub out the careworn wrinkle* from every face. In view of this wo throw out the following hints where to mako your CHRISTMAS PUII CHASES at the least cost and with the greatest satisfaction. and profit. SPECIAL INVITATION. WUt.UK TO OO TO-MORROW. DAVE’S SAMPLE BOOMS. To-morrow from to 1 o’clock my frionds and customers are invited to par tako of a Fine Free Christmas Lunch and Eggnog if. Respectfully, Dave Wolfson. HEAII THIS, and go to Buhler’s and get what you want in the way of Pipes and Tobaccos In case you should not feel spiritually Inclined go there nnd get your Cigars and Tobac oos, Merschaum Pipes, Ciga r and Cigarette Holders. All of the above things make a line pres ent, but best of all is his ilno Whiskey, Sherry, llkandy, Cognac and Rum, which is ottered cheap. OII.ES’ OALLKRY. During Christmas you will iiave plenty of time to have your Photograph taken, and it ean bo done at Giles Gallkby, over Bedell’s store. To-morow go there and sit for a picture. The object in having a picture taken Is to get a oorrect likeness,'and this can be done by going to Mr. Giles Gallery. He has re moved here, and has fitted up an elegant gallery for the reception of the photo graphic public. Ills specimens show for themselves, arid all he asks is simply a call, and he will take care of the balance. P. W. LOUDEN BEK. Here Is tho rogular City Cigar store. A line stock of Imported and Domestic Ci gars. All grades of Chewing Tobaccos. Various brands of Smoking and Fine-Cut Tobacoos, Pipes, Stems, Tobacco Boxes and Pouches, Pocket Match Safes and Smokers’ articles generally. Next t<>Dai ly Times office. W. a. CHAFFIN desk es the public to call at hlB book store 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. Challln has all of the latest novels, and in addition has the handsomest of family Bibles. A Bible, well bound nnd handsomely printed, is an acceptable present to one’s father or mother. Juvenile and Toy Books are scattered over hie store, whU* visitors ean Jiiid Chromes, Gold Pen*. Stamped I'n.por and Envelopes in abundance. Go to-day and see Chaffin, and make a selection from his stock of Christinus goods. You are sure to find in his house something that will make a most accep table present, and of an appropriate order. I.AYFIEI.U AXD SANTA have evidently formed a conspiracy and made headquarters at Laylleld’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 i<ay(lekl presents. Toys by tho 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 Broad 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 leost money go the farthest, we advise a visit to Laylleid's. BUY A irSOY, Or if you don't want one for yourself get a basket Phnston for your wife, and let her have a chance to ride whenever she de sires. Don’t impose upon your mules any lon ger, and force them to draw that old wag on, but go and see Mr. T. K. Wyune and get anew wagon, cheap. Plenty of carriages, buggies, wagons and harness for salo at cost, at Wynne's Emporium. Call and sec them before you buy, for he can, and will, sell cheaper than any one. N'ror AND EKAD THIN, and learn what you ought to know, that Charlie Heyman's OLD RELIABLE is still in the field, and during Christmas wants to see all of their old friends. Heyman has the best of Champagne Wine, Sherry and Rum. He is prepared to furnish Dining parties the very best in the city. Heyman's Bar and Restaurant will be open during Christmas all the time, and It is supplied with all the delica cies of the market, aud the finest Liquors and Cigars. WITTICH A 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 beon se lected with a special view to the present hard times. What more beautiful pres ent for a young lady, than a Lockot, Ring or set of Jewelry. If you would make your married lady friend happy, give her one of their blegant 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 I* YOl’R CHANCE to get exactly what you want in the way of Millinery. Mrs. Lee bought a large stock of winter goods, and has still a large stock on hand, which MUST BE SOLD, and in order to sell must be disposed of Cheap. Christmas Is upon us all, and wo are engaged in looking about lor goods for ourselves and presents for others. At Mrs. Lee's you can find 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 are advised to call to-day, and learn from Mrs. Lee what a woman would most desire. Mis. Lee knows exactly what ladies mo6t ad mire, nnd she can (ell you what to buy. ATCOWOEIY'I. 1 Going into Cowdory’s, we found Ids I crockery establishment flHeld, not only j with customers, but also with Christmas goods. Time was when china was raro and Liverpool ware everywhere. But now china is moderately ehoap, and tho shelves of tho “china-shop” are graced with the most lovelyspecimons of art in figures and pictures of exquisite coloring. His Btore, which Is one of thelnrgestin tho city, was well 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 toa 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. Ills Imported goods arc ol 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” WELL* .fc eUKTIN' SHOE HOUSE. The wet weather yesterday drove us into the old reliable Shoe house of Messrs. Wells * Cubtir to get something to protect us from the mud. We found no trouble In getting just what we wanted; and wo believe that wifi be the experience of every one who goes there to purchase shoos. Theirs is the largest and com pletes! stock wo have ever seen in Colum bus, embracing all tho elegant novelties for dross, as well as tho substantial grades for tiio streets and for plantation wear. Tho School Shoes, for Girls and Boys, especially attracted our attention—being neat in style, and stout nnd strong for service. Tho proprietors informed us t hat 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 & Cnms. VVe could easily account for all this, for we know those gentlemen nro so thoroughly ac quainted with the Shoe business in all Its details, that they understand whut t o have made and how to have it made. Next year they will try the exclusive Cash system. CONRAD LINCK keeps the best Bar and Restaurant in the city. Already he has won for himself a reputation as the best caterer in the city, and during Christmas proposes to keep It up. At any unit all hours during the coining week his Bar and Restaurant will be open, and all that tho local and foreign markets can furnish will be served at his table. Li nek's bottled Beer received the first premium utthe Centennial. Go there and get it for your family. THE SINGER SEWING MACHINE. Of all the contrivances that have been devised to relieve the housewife of one of her greatest troubles, ami the killing wear and tear of constant needle work,the Sewing Maehine is the most wonderful- And the most wopdortul of all the various patents of these Machines is tho celebra ted "Singer,” The many thousands of these Machines scattered over every part of tne civilized world, form an army 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 daily walks prove their extensive use. No other Maehine 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 be made by the nimble lin gers of the most skillful lace worker, is too Intricate for tills wonderful Machine. Now get your wife one for a Christmas gift. You can’t please her better, or pre sent an article that will give half as much satisfaction. See the agent to-day nnd order a machine, for if you have not tho cash, the Company will let you pay for it in Installments. Mr. Holt Is tho Agent In this city, and a more obliging gentleman Is hard to tlnd. WILLIAMS’ ART GALLERY. one of tho most attractive places during the Clirletmas, in fact nt any 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. You can spend an hour very plesantly 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 dees not claim to be the best artist in tho world, but having had twenty-one years practical experience in the business, and during this time having kept up with all the improvements in his art, ho feels confident ho can satisfy the most fusti dious. We cannat imagine a more appropriate Christmas present to a loving parent or absent friend tnan an elegant photograph of yoursolf taken by Mr. Williams. W. H. ROBARTS A CO. You are walking around for a Christ mas present for your wife, and you don’t know exactly what will suit her best. Take our advice and go to Bobarts' and get one of his Stoves. Your wife will be delighted, and feel a load lifted from her shoulders in worrying with a cracked and smoking stove. They are Cheap, and what is better, are durable. Christmas is a good time to replenish the kithon aud house. At Roberts you will find the brightest of Tinware, and many articles of household furniture al most indispensable. AT STRUPER'S OLD STAND can bo found a select stock of Toys and Gandies. Mrs. Kirby has charge, and invited the public to call. Ladies can find there Oys ters and Coffee, fixed up to suit them. MARK BRADFORD wants to soli you a set of new Harness as , a Christinas gift for your horse. He has j a lot of Rubber Door Mats, School Batch i els, Ladles’ Traveling Satchels and any ! number of Trunks, All for sale cheap. JNO. McGOUGH & CO. Tills old established house Is beforothe public still for their trade. By their strict integrity, and attention to tho wants of their customers, thoy enjoy a reputation second to no house in Georgia. This Christmas they desire to sell more goods than ever, 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 Christmas trade. They are therefore prepared to give the best of bargains in all lines of Dress Goods and Dry Goods. You cannot please your wife or auy 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 a now 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 FUR 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 tiie immense piles of goods that he daily disposes of. Almost every conveyance that leaves tho city—whether steamboat, railroad train, wagon or pleasure carriage, carries bales, packages, pieces, or bundles of goods from Joseph's. Tho people of the country all around—far and ncar- 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 the ever lasting ru6h that is observable to get to his counters, by those in search of hand some goods and low prices, llis stock is a marvel of completeness - scarcely an ar ticle needed to make It perfect. Call for what you will and it appears before you as if by magle. The finest fabrics seem as abundant as tiio most staple goods, and frequently tho price is but little high er. And then Mr. Joseph has a staff of ••list ant* that, can seldom he'equaled. Messrs. Frampton. Peacock and Allen in the general sales depart ment, are all gen tleman of experience In the trade and widely known as excellent and obliging salesmen. The Ladles’ Department hna proved a success far beyond its early flattering promise, for it has supplied to the ladies just the Department that thoy had long felt u want of, but of the convenience of which they have but recently been mjde acquainted. This department is attended by ladies who ore thoroughly conversant with ajl 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. Ho invites a careful inspec tion of his stock, ami defies competition. LeGRAND WRIGHT Invites the public to call to-day and du ring Christmas, and cover their hoads witli his new Hats. He bought them to sell, and from the cheap prices ho is* ask ing for them he wilt succeed. In addition to his regular stock, he has ordered a new lot, among which can be found the following beautiful and stylish Hats: Seal Brown, Childrens’ Seal Brown. Tilden, Campaign. Cavalier, Trump Card. Fur Caps, Scotch (Japs. Besides a full assortment of Wool Hats, and a cheaper grade of Hats. Call and get one while you have the money, and while you need It. THE NICEST THINGS OUT. If there is anything that makes a man look more contented, and feel really more comf rtuble than a handsome Dressing Gown to put on when quietly at home with Ids family, we would like to get it. Thornton A Acer have the very thing, and this is the very time for Ladies who wisli to make their husbands or gentle men friends a seasonable present to get one. Messrs. Thornton A Acee also have a splendid assortment of Gents Clothing, And for Boys and Children theirlittle suits are simply boautiful ” 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 tho place to get them is at Tobo 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. He can furnish you a tine Ilavan na, or tho best Cigar in tho market for five cents, known as the "Designo," also Schooltield's Chewing Tobacco. THOHAS .t PRESCOTT Nothing sets off good looks better than n nice fitting 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 home with anew suit If you dont do it,wo advise all wives to go to Thomas & Prescott's and order a suit, and tako their husbands by surprise by having them ready for him to don early Christmas morning. The weather is halmy now, but cold weather is coming on, and you will need an overcoat. Take advantage of tho reduction m clothing an! get you an overcoat. Thomas * Prescott ere nnxlous 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. •1,.1. A' W. R. WOOD. T o make Christmas a success you must have your Christmas dinner. J. J. A W. It. Wood, Broud street, have a fresh arri val of new Ruirins, Currants, Citron,Figs, Jellies,canned fruitsand Vegetables,Mince Meat, Pigs Feet, .Shaker and Ginger Pre serves, Cranberries, (Too Wines nnd Ales, choking Wines and Brandies, Flavoring extracts, Spices, Ac., Ac., Ac., that every housekeeper aver* is esnential to prepar ing the proper Christ urns dinner. In or der that ovory one shall have eggnog,they havo bought an exceedingly large number of Eggs and any quantity of Butter. Those two last named articles, as well as everything else in their store will bo sold at living prloes, which means very cheap. MRS. M. R. HOWARD has a well selected stock of Millinery tiiat must bo sold during tho Christmas holidays. If you want to make a suitable present call at her store opposite the Times office, and get a Bonnet or Hat for your wife. In addition she has every style of Cravats and Ladies Goons. Is It not about time for Mrs. Howard’s customers to give her a Christmas gift? If so, let everybody who owes her come up this week and pay their bills. T. T. EDM ENDS. We visited yesterday, on our Christmas jaunts, the elegant Furniture Store ofT. X. 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 w ill last and bo of use for years. To those who do not consider that house fur niture comes under the head of Christmas presents, we would suggst the propriety of commencing tho 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 it hungry. Go there and get your little boy a velocipede, and your little girl a nice chair. < Sirimuia* Gilt, Go to-morrow to Linck’s, at the Mer chants’ Exchange, and get it. All of his friends and patrons are invited to a free use of Chatham Artillery Punch, and Pheagle and Enix Punch, that will be bountifully supplied to-mor row. it £spr<i Xoilce.

The \p*t Hutiiiernd, We, along with the rest of tho lovers of fun and frolic, are heartily glad to know that, next month, we shall havo our an nual Masquerade. Nothing, probably, in tho line of entertainments for the young, elicits half the interest, or “pans out” half tho fun, that a really well-managed Ball does. Tho last, masked ball given the pas season, received many deserved compli ments. This one, under the management of the same Committee, will not fall one whit short of Its predecessor. Costumes, elegant and new, will be present-and, as usual, every accessory will be perfect. The young people are already on tiptoe for the day to arrive. Tin Horns. Atlanta, Augusta and Savannah have ordinances against tin horns, but Colum bus has none, and all of the young boys are invited to meet at this office, Monday morning and join our band. Matt G’Brion will doubtless be elected captain of the brigade, while a resolution of thanks will be voted Harris of the Omsli tution for his manly defense of the tin horn brigade. Wo trust to-morrow will find him restored to his family, and not In tho possession of a big “perlice" for tooting his own horn. Columbus boys are at liberty to blow their own horns.

A gentleman, for being drunk and run ning against a wagon, was discharged. Another friend, who was forced Into a combat with a negro, and in which en counter the negro came out second best, was discharged. The Court adjourned for the Christmas holidays. “Joe Brannun” respects the frailties of the male persuasion during Christmas, and we are inclined to believe he will bo light with those who take too much of Link’s artillery punch. Moprlcd, On Wednesday evening, 20th lost., at the residence of the bride's adopted pa rents (Col. and Mrs. H. Hawking) in this county, by the Rev.

Reared here in Eufaula, she was a bright, particular star in society.

We surrender her to the affection and keeping of the man of her choice, with a thousand good wishes for her wedded happiness, health and prosperity.— Eufaula Times.

PRESBYTERIAN SCHOOL will also provide an entertainment for the the little ones. They have a Christmas tree, too, we believe, and appropriate ex ercises will be held in the church, inter spersed with the distribution of presents to the scholars. AT THE CONVENT, we understand, an entertainment of cha rades, 4c., and also a Christmas tree for tho benefit of the pupils and friends of the Institution, fromjwhich many will go with happy hearts. The above was all wo could ascertain —some wanting to make the entertain ment a pleasant surprise to the scholars, and friends of the schools.
