R. M. ESTES,
the popular Grocer, was our next des
tination, as my Greeoland friend de
sired a nice oyster stew, which onlj
Prof. John Lewis can concoct. 8c
we sought the place presided over bj
Mr. Estes, where he and his aids-de
camp, Messrs. 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.

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>. C. FLTNN,
the "Leader of Low Prices," and "the
man who reduced cotton from 10c a
spool to 5c," who Santa Claus admitted
was "up to his business and could be relipH
linnn nr ho UJOO nrv inHno n? human

sanctum of Tns Times somewhat jaded,
but happy withal. 41 You have a bright
future before you," said my friend, as
he sat down before the sanctum fire.
^4iI am particularly impressed with your
financial facilities, which while I have
not the time to personally inspect, you
have been kind enough to explain to me.
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. M. Farr, a
gentleman of vaatoomme^cial experience,
and whose Judgement is taught by many
a person who is 4up a tree,' commands
the respect and love of this community.

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

his jolly voice singing:
"My love to old Union, with a heart
full of cheer!
Merry Christmas to all, and a Happy
