Will Powell and Will Hill, hold the confidence of the pub lie and dispense fresh groceries ol every description at close and reasonable prices. Mr. Estes is deserving of successe and merit wins. Therefore he is a winner. No one begrudges him his good luck. He believes in advertising what he has to sell and an appreciative public have "caught on," as it were, and patronize him accordingly. His stock is large, well assorted and clean. MRS. 1). K. WILBURS carries a splendid stock of goods in the Dry Goods and Notions line, and altho' the space is not so large her stock is well assorted and 'new, and prices exceedingly low. People who trade at this store are enthusiastic about the reasonableness of prices and the nice treatment thev rer.flicA. Mrs. Wilburn is deserving of good patronage, and as she is a firm believer in advertising, success must and will crown her ardent efforts. DR. M'CREERT GLYMPH fitted a new pair of glasses to Santa, and he expressed himself as delighted with them, as he could now read the Evening Greenland News without the aid of the Aurora Borealis. Before closing our jaunt I showed him the corner lot of Main and Bachelor Street, recently bought by E. Nicholson Esq., and upon being advised that a handsome 8-story store and office building would soon be erected there, with quarters therein for the Clover Club, our city sooial organization, Santa Claus pronounced the idea an excellont one, and said he regretted that time forbade him to meet the good members of that order before bis departure. THE RICE DRUG CO. was inspeoted and my friend was delighted with the arrangement of everything. The sudden change of climate from Greenland to the Carolinas had given him a touch of lumbago, (to which complaint he ij? subject) and he purohased a plaster at onoe from the affable Mr. Rice. DR. DUKE was visited in our rounds and his assortment of pure medicines highly endorsed, HOI.ME8' PHARMACY set 'em up to a "Hot Huyler Chocolate" which warmed up the old gentleman somewhat, We stopped at Oetzel's Hardware Store a few moments where Santa Claus got an Accident Insurance Policy, good for 8 months, and after shaking hands with l>.

As I can see it tiie i'korles dank, a comparatively new institution, is doing a business that should make the stockholders proud both of their Bank and its able officers. Resources, capital, surplus and profits amount to $300,000. President 13. F. Arthur deserves great credit for the splendid showing. Especially to be admired is his Savings De^ artment, and thro' liberal advertising he, too, has benefitted his Bank and the public at large. Inculcation of the idea of saving money is a duty of parents to children, and Mr. Arthur's ideas are beneficial to both children and adults. Mr. Duncan, cashier, and Mr. Swygert, bookkeeper, afe both able men and their good work is we\l known to the public. I have also noticeikin your valuable paper that the old reliable merchants and planters dank is still doing business at the old sttnd, ever conservative lwt still advancing. The President, Capt. F.

He had disappeared in a most mysterious manner, and I cannot account for it. The Editor has laughed at my tale, but I really believe he vanished up the chimney, in . good old "St. Nick" stjjrle, and in my mind I can now hear his jolly voice singing: "My love to old Union, with a heart full of cheer! Merry Christmas to all, and a Happy New Year!" A Costly Mistake. Blunders are sometimes very expensive.
