MERRY CHRISTMAS TRADE. C( The Happy Thronging Crowds, Ani-. Mated SLoppers, And the Lovely Gifts. to No man with - ii bis hed an., the least vestige oI a soul to be i thrilled into jOyV 'ns and responsive ha exciteient can mingle with tle be crowds which tlstag the streets :iwl ta stores of Newberry without feeling M in h:s ri : brae a spitaneouS and s happy exhileration v;iIch only con-es ea at the Christmas time. The anima- th ted faces, the handsomely decorated sa stores, the rush and hurry of hcli- i day trade, all contribute to the g Pn- p eral feeling of happiness which per- sa vades the air. Perhaps there has never been such a display of Christ- is mas gits as is this year exhibited pr for :the choice of the purchaser. Whether it is that everybody is pros- a perous, in spite of the fall in the price St of cotton, or whether the merchants gr have determined from past experi- ca ence that variety and quantity of ed goods increase the sales. can not be h said, bit the array of wonderful me chanical toys. dolls, new ideas in cS jewelry and novelties, the great va- dr riety of pictures and new books. the " list of articles to give joy to the tec smoker, the splendid stock of the ad hardvare stores. and the profusion ab of toilet articles and notions in the PO drug stores, all bewilder the intend- 10 ing purchaser in spending the money at set aside for Christmas gifts. The i" merchants of the town have this year su striven to outdo each other in the de beauty and taste of their elaborate be window decorations. No profes- th, sional window-dresser in the larger cia cities could improve on some of the a really artistic conceits which appear behind Newberry glass. As for old Santa Claus himself, tic he has this year developed into a be sort of trust magnate, a head of a ric corporation. as it were, with . more Sh branch offices. agencies and bureaus of than the Standard Oil company. on ManV Newberry merchants have i closed deal. with this modernized th: saint, and are acting as his agents or th representatives. It is momentarily ho expected that Thomas W. Lawson, of "frenzied tinance" fame, will at tack this enterprising and speculating Cl Santa- along with'other famtus bond holdrs -and trust organizers. But in& spite of hi agencies and new- en iangled tendencies the children will a find him at heart the same old loving lovable. and~ bewhiskered gentleman with the bu.lging pack and prancing reindeers.N It were- an impossible and hercu lean task to enumerate in full the many articles suitable for holiday gifts which may be seen and bought over the Newberry counters, but a general idea of their scope and va- om riety may be given. The Maves wV Book store is advertising a stock ph1 composed solely of articles suitable sh for the Christmas time. Cut glass. ga latest books, pictures, stationery. chi hand-bags, novel:ies in jewelry, and up in fact everythinig one would natur.- ca ally expect at a nirst class store of mTi itE kind, may be found at that estab- n lishment. D)aniels & Williamson ca have shown taste and care in the se- re lection of a holiday stock which they challenge any jewelry store in :his te1 section of the state to miatch. The adl Newberry Hardware companly comes 3?e to the front with a new and improv- WE *ed pan in which to roast the Christ- ru mas turkey. The Pelham drug alt store is still a drug store-in the I h back part. There is such a variety . of fancy and toilet articles, cut nir glass. china. and silver that the ens- ye tomner~ is fairly dazzled. HeI may, enter the establishment with the in tention of buying pills- but he is liable to come away with a piece of cut glass or fancy china instead. The firm of A. C. Jones is not only adi vertising the tinest of Christmas goods but it is even offering a sub stantial present to every person who purchases. The mattet is well worth looking into. Other tov:~ns of the county are not to be outdonl a the county seat, and Moseley Bros., of Prosperity, and Aull & Hipp. of Pornaria, are advertising some bar gains hard to beat. Quattlebaum & Schuimpert have just received aEn carload of horses and mules. They are not recommended as gifts for the baby's stocking, but they are a fine selection. All the ladies used to go to "fairyland" but now they go to S. B. Jones' vwhere they wvill find an endless variety of toys sure to please the litle ones. C. &. G. S. Mower mpany are offerng speci I :nts i, the Christmas buyer in the itf c-ut prices. A good bargain just as desirable at Christmas as aNy (tIer time. Every child in wn should see the doll on exhibi M in the window of the Hair & .vird store. It is three and one i feet high, dressed in the most autiful pink satin. and dainty as a ry queen. The prop-retor of the ayes drug store iequests every ,pper to visit tha: establishment rlv in the tour. He is confident it many subsequent steps will be ed by so doing. Prices have been shed and smashed and cut to ces at Mimnaugh's. Prices are d to be at a point where buying irresis-able. Every day this week a day of special bargains. When aparing for the Christmas dinner will pav the housekeeper to send order to 0. Klettner. The Cash -re rises up on its hind legs to M- the happy season with a poeti , an] remarkable statement, "waft by a thousand tongues to the east d north and south and west," to : effect that it is having the great sale of foreign and domestic !ss goods ever known in the Pal ,tto State. The Cash Store is ling good and don't mind using ertising space to tell the people ut it. Wooten offers a rare op rtunity that will enable those who desire to buy their winter goods a great saving. His prices aie eresting.. There are few things table for Christmas presents, n d. that cannot be found in New rry at one store or another, and people should show their appre tion of the merchants' efforts by iberal patronage. 3ilder.
