From his big bear skin surcingle to the
crown of his head, he was coated with
sorghum and it was some minutes be
fore we could sufficiently recover from
our astonishment to enauire th
cause. Santa had considerable difficul
ty in speaking at first but after a time
he got his throat sufficiently cleared to
permit of his talking, though his voice
sounded huskily "You must under
stand,"' he said, 'that I provide for the
colored children, as well as all others

t e bit ago, while fix ng some Christmas

the water in the stand pipe was low

and himself and the reporter moved off.
Our first stopping placa was the three

E. P. LATT.V AND BROTHER.
where the first thing Santa picked up
f.r our inspection wa a silk velvet smok
ing jacket elegantly lined and bor
dered with fine red satin. "This is an
article that would make a splendid pres-
net for a gentleman, and that will last
always,7' said he. "a beauty and a joy
forever. "It is one of my very latest

with colored borders. lhe win maif
the m st accep-able presents. Santa
ihen showed us through the stock ot
overcoats, which is a very large one and
embraces all styles and qualifies. A
patent self raising silk umbrella was
suggested out as a go a tning ior a pres
ent. and then the hats, of all shapes
sizes and prices were pointed out.
There are just thousands of the best
and handsomest presents imaginable
here at Latta's aud I enjoin you to make
this f ct known. I marked the prices
on all the goods myself, expressly to
suit my Charlotte friends. Knowing as
I do. the size of every person s purse, l
adjusted the prices to suit, so that I will
bear no complaint. Now betore you
forget it. jut remark that this is my
general Chiistmas goods depot for thio
section of the country and tell all your
readers to drop in here for their pres
ents. Taking one last looa at tne
densely packed tables and shelves, the
reporter followed his friend out into the
cold street, and nent found himself
in another cem of a gift palace, the
clothing and furnishing house of
W. KAUFMAN ANP CO.
Here Santa dived first into a
pile of
overcoats and held up
held up a few of the
finest and handsomest remarking they

pretty one that he had picked out for
the good little boy on Tryon street who,
during the past year, went to Sunday
school regularly, was always obedient
to his parents and who was t get a
hatchet in the nants pocKet as an aa
dition-1 reward for not having told a
lie. from the bandbox department.
Santa fok out a flexible hign top LerD
for a present to a Charlotte dude, and
at the same time, showed the reporter a
fine lineol hats, a-1 of good quality and
correct styles, that were well suited for
presents. In men's clothing. Sunt i
called our attention to a large stock of
allvaiieties o' frocks, sacks anu cut
aways, of the latest shades. Boys hats
and caps were noticed in large array .
For the men, very appropriate presents
could be selected from the stock of
valises gold headed and fancy canes,
silk umbrellas, neckwear and handker
chiefs. Kauf man V stock of the latter
is very fine, some be -utiful neckwear
and some very elegant silk handker
chiefs being shown. "Kaufman is one
of my favorite agents." said our escort,
"and I find that he has become so popu
lar that I will have to move him to more
enlarged quarters, and on the first of
January, he will move into the corner
store room in the entral Hotel build
ing. I want him to start in with a new
stock, and to that end he has, at my
command, marked down the prices of
everything in this house. It is there
fore a desirable place to purchase Christ
mas presents, and all your readers will
find it to their advantage to call here "
Our escort remarking that he began
to feel a little tired, cau ht the report
er h arm and hurried off to the furni
ture store of
E. M ANDREWS,
where, selecting a fine red plush lounge,
he pulled at a strap, when the lounge
was converted into a very unique and
comfortable bed. Throwing himself
upon this, Santa wanted to know who
could desire a more elegant present. It
made a handsome lounge for the parlor,
a very pretty and ornamental piece of
furniture, which couldatthe same time
be turned to doub'e use as pleasure or
upcpssitv detdred Reposing upon his
com ortable couch. Santa called the at

and as a chair it is perfect. If you want
to win the favor ot a baby's mother, all
you have to do is to make her baby a
present of this trick.' Santa pointed out
a $20i set of furniture and with a cun
ning wink, remarked that he had select
ed that for his wife's present, merely to
keep peace in his family during the com
ing year Upstairs our escort went over
a splendid lot of mohair plush parlor
suits, caipet rockers, lounges (combina
tion and every other sort! smoking
chairs platform rockers, rattan goods,
extension tables, church and pulpit
chairs, what nots, hat racks, childrens'
chairs, etc. As a present for a lady,
feanta picked out a stylish little plush
top table, and asked us to tell the boys
about it. "There are more presents
here," he said, ' than I could oarry in
five hundred sleigh loads."
"Brace up " entreated the old man as
he opened the door to a house the
front windows of which were filled with
white goods of a variety of patterns and
shapes, and pulled the reporter along
with him. "We are now --at a place
where you can't put your hand down
without letting ii drop on a present, but
if we had my old lady with us, I am
sure we would get along a great deal
better. Young man, we are at
MRS. P QTJEEY S

present would please a woman more
than one of these stylish bonnets? There
is a whole show case full of "articles of

mother, a wife, a sister, or a sweetheart
bless the giver and wish for Christmas
to come four times a year. You needn't
mind enumerating all the things we see
here that would make good presents,
but just tell your readers that their list
of Christmas gifts will be entirely too
incomplete without a few selections
from this house "
Stepping out tand baiting a couple of
doors below, Santa turned the knob and
pulled the reporter into another estab
ment of the same sort, kept by
MRS S. AND G. NEWCOMBE,
who have gaine 1 great popularity as
mil ii era am ng the la lies of Charlotte
aud neiguuorin towns. Here again
Santa bemoaned the absence of his better
half, declaring tha- he couldn't for the
life of him remember the names of half
the things he saw. "But however. "said
the old saint, ' here are just the lovelie t
hats you ever saw. and all those elegant
trimmings are worth the attention of
every Christmas shopper. This house is
bnm full of presents and sh uld not be
tkipped by anyone."
tiddy's book store.
Santa and the reporter next found
themselves in Tiddy's boofe and art store,
where the array of beautiful Christmas
goods is perfectly bewildering. The
eht-lves and counters are packed and
loaded with presents in p ush goods,
Russia leather goods, writiug de-ks,
ladies' work boxes, gentlemen and la
dies' toilet sets, jewel boxes, glove and
handkerchief sets, ladies' work bas
kets, photograph and autograph album
in plush and otiier blinding; portfolios,
card cases, inkstands and engravings
all new, fresh, and selected with great
care. Books for the young and Christ
mas cards in great variety at the lowest
prices. Santa told us to saj that Tiddy's
eux-k this year excels anything ever be
fore attempted by him and it would be
tolly in anyone to select their presents
without firt calling at Tiudy 's. In his
stock of Christmas goods is embraced
articles for presents for all from the
prattling youngster to the gray haired
grandfather. After showing usa hun
dred glass inkstands, scores of picture
books, a half bushel of gold pens and
holders, and advising us not to attempt
a description of Tiddy's g'ods, but to
advise everybody to go there and see for
themselves, Santa gave us a quarter to
pay the boy for cleaning up the molasses
drippings from our floor, and. but-
oning up his c at move 1 ontside, got
into his sleigh and disappeared on a
moonbeam. He let a card drop and
picking it up we read: I'll be back to
morrow night.

Thousands f persons are poisoned in
America by the continued use of mer
cury, iodide of potassium and other
minerals, for various diseases. The
mercury works its way into the tissues,
producing rheumatism and decay of
the bones. The iodide of potassium
eats away the coating of the stomach,
and dries up the gastric juices which
digest the food, and the patient lingers
along in agony or is glad to die to get
away from misery. Swift s opecinc is
a complete antidote to all poison. It
eliminates mercuiy from the system,
removes the evil .. effects of iodide of
"potassium, and brings bank health and

writes: "I am now using a box of
your Henry's Carbolic Salve upon an
ulcer, which, for the past ten days, has
given me great pain This salve is the
only remedy I have found that has given
me any ease. My ulcer was caused by
varicose veins, and wTas pronounced in
curable by my medical doctors. I find,
however, that Henry's Carbolic Salve is
affecting a cure.
Ashburnham. Mass.. Jan 14. 1880.
I have been very s ck over two years.
They all gave me up as past cuie I
tried the most skillful physicians, but
they did not reach the worst part. The
lungs and heart would fill up every
night and distress me. and my throat
was very bad. I told my children I
never should die in peace until I had
tried Hop Bitters. I have taken two
bottles. They have helped me verv
much indeed. I am now well.
There was a lot of sick folks
here who have seen how they helped
me, and they used them and are cured,
and feel as thankful as I do that there
is so valuable a medicine made

SWI-ET CJUH A.I JH 1,1.1.1 ;
Most of our readers have thought very
little of the fact that in the exudation
they see clinging to the sweet gum tree
in the hot summer months there is a
principle that is considered the most
powerful stimulating expectorant
known They have no doubt thought
less of the fact that in the mullein plant
seen in the old fields is a mucilaginous
substance that acts as a soothing demul
cent on the inflame i i-urfaces of the
lungs, and which has attracted the at
tention of the medical world in conse
quence of its wonderful effects on con
sumption. When these things are con
sidered it is not surpris'ng that "Tay
lor's Cherokee Remedy of Sweet Gum
and Mullein." the great panacea for
coughs, croup, whooping cougi and all
bronchial affections, is proving such a
boon to those suffering. For sale by all
leading druggists at 25c. and $1.00 per
bottle.

Nothing; Uke It.
No medicine has ever been known so
effectual in the cure of all those dis
eases arising from an impure condition
of the blood as Scovill's Sarsaparilla. or
Blood and Liver Syrup, for the cure of
Scrofula, White Swellings, rheumatism,
pimples, blotches, eruptions, venereal
sores and diseases, consumption, goitre,
boils, cancers: and all kindsof diseases.
No better means of securing a beautiful
complexion can be obtained than by
using Scovill's Bio-d and Liver Syrup,
which cleanses the blood and gives
beautv to the skin.
