To the Editor of the Columbian : By special invitation n number of ex-Col umbia countians, mingled with a tew long time Michigan residents, were requested to spend Christmas at the cozy little home of Mr. and Mrs. A. D. Chapln in School craft, Michigan. Among those present were "Grandmother" BIdelman, Dr. nnd Mrs. J. F. Chapln, Mr. and Mrs. Ramsey Arthur, Ellis Bidleman and daughter Annie, Mr. "Doc" Bidleman and sons George anil Ellis, and A. Chapln, all of Schoolcraft ; Mr. and Mrs. B- Hughes, of near Three Rivers; Miss Sophie Moyer of Bloomsburg, Pu , and Mr. I. B. IUier, of Kalamazoo. A very sumptuous repast was served and a merry Christmas it was for all. Mr. and Mrs. Chapln have a very pleas ant home in Schoolcraft, and it Is a very agreeable place to stop at. They arc kind good icople and are esteemed residents of that place. Little Nora Chapln had a handsome Christmas tree, and she was very happy over It. She has enjoyed one every Chrlstmr.s since she has bi.cn old enough to appreciate It. ''Grauitmotber" BIdelman, although 80 years of age and not very well physically her mental facilities are as sound and clear as ever, and appeared to enjoy the occa sion as well as any one In the ciinpany, Among Claud Chaplu's Christmas pres cnts was a handsome watch and chain, Claud is an exemplary anil deserving boy, 'Doc" Bidelman is quite a humorist an made it lively for those present. Mr. A. D. I'hapln's wrist, which ho had broken by a runaway during the fall fair at Schoolcift, Is getting so that he can use some. Dr. and Mrs. J. F, Chapln reside In one of the most desirable places iu Schoolcraft, and friends always receive a hearty wel come at this happy household. The Doc tor Is as jovial as ever, has all he can at, tend to at his profession, and Is happy, Ellis Bidelman Is as enthusiastic over horses yet as ever. All you can get to say to him Is "horse" and he Is ready to con verse with you. He has got some fine ones, too. Dr. Chas. Huff, of Kendall Mich., is seen in this section quite often. Ho formerly resided In Bloomsburg and taught schoo at Beuton one winter. Will Cole formerly of Colcscreck, Pa, resides In Kalamazoo. Boyd Kingsbury, formerly of uenton, Is running a harnes's shop In Vlcksburg, and Is doing well at his bnslness. All appeared tn be enthusiastic over the new rail road up FUblngcreek and ex pressed their desire to be on the first tral that runs over the road. Shouldn't won, Uer the majority will "get Wl." T, Rnt MCnton. William Ipber. of Benton, lost a valuablo horse last Bunday a week by falling on tho Ice, breaking a hip and otherwise Injuring It. What might have been a serious accident fortunately passed off with sHulit Injur, lcs, was an attempt by Will Davidson o' Cambra, to steer a one horse sled, holding on shaft, down hill, 'oaded with coasters, last week one day, himself riding on a lit. tlo coasting sled which capsized anu was run over by the loaded sled. Bruco Drcshcr, of Stillwater, and wife, after visiting frleiidi, attenalng a wedding' urlng their honeymoon In Wyoming county, while on their way home their horse became paralyzed ami helpless and In consequence were obliged to return to their friends and send to Stillwater for means of conveyance In order to roach homo. At last accounts tho animal was not dead, but It was thought it routd not recover. If everybody owed everybody else a dollar and then would pay It, what a square world this round world would be.

We are now compelled to give possession ol the premises, No 333 Market street, and this has lorced us to move the goods up to the retail store. 1 hose who recall the great size of the whole sale store, built by that famous old Philadelphia merchant, Mor ns L. Hallowell, will understand what an enormous stock was to be moved and provided for some where, somehow. We brought it here; but it crowds us so, that there is nothing left for us to do but break from our rule and make an extra and forced sale, n ten years we have never done such a thing but once three years ago. Our regular sales are always arge, but tne present emerg ency requires an extraordinary sale, as we are utterly unable to properly accommodate so many goods under our roof. Al though we sold many ot the Kiegel goods in the wholesale stock, so many remain that with tne subsequent purchases we find it Impossible to even store them well in the portions of the new building now completed. The best way out of the diffi culty is to sell down; to mark the goods at such prices that you must take them in justice to yourselves. We shall therefore sell from this wholesale stock and from our retail stock at special, and in many instances sacrificintr prices, until we gam the desired space. On Monday morning we be gan the great sale, and now offer many of the greatest bargains in staple and lancy dry goods and other articles that we have ever shown. It must not be supposed that every thing we have in the store will come to the under price; the loss would then be too great. 1 here will be enough to set you to buying whether you want the goods or not, and enough to keep the sale going for many days, as all the lots can't be put on the counters at one time. First We shall close out what is lelt of Holiday goods. Dusty goods from the dis plays. Handled and soiled books. The prices for these . merely nominal. are Second The Remnant Counter is simply avalanched with the ends and leavings from the large sales of the past three weeks. Third The Dress Patterns with garnitures, in boxes, are at unexpected figures. Fourth 1 2,000 Handkerchiefs, silk and linen, at large dis counts. We shall try to deliver every thing on the day of purchase, but will not agree to do so ex- ceot as especially arranged at the time of sale. Individuals or clubs from any points within a radius of one hundred miles buyingin a single bill Une Hundred uoiiars or over will have express charges to destination prepaid, and ftirni ture or bulky house-furnishing goods will be forwarded by freight prepaid. The store is ready for business at 8 A. M. and will close at 6 1'.M. John Wanamaker. Chtttnul, ThlrUentn and ilultst streits, aacitr-kallsfuw. W Troyau UR.it j POWDER Absolutely Pure.

Every Lady has a natural pride in her table and next to a good meal, which is an estab- iibiicu liuuubbiey iu ivucp tnc man of the house in a good humor, comes the adornment of the ta ble. In this respect handsome silver ware has no equal and the great decline m prices has placed in it the reach ot all. Uwing to the great demand for reliable goods, we have recently added to our stock a lartre line ol Rodgers quadruple plated ware, Tea sets, Butter dishes, Table casters, Pickle casters, Syrup cups, Cake baskets, nerry dishes, Card stands, Ice pitchers, Cups, Individual casters, Napkin rings, Table, Dessert and Tea spoons, knives and porks, print knives and Nut Picks, in plain, ivory and pearl handles with and witlv out cases, in such a variety o patterns we cannot (ail to suit vou. In selecting our stock our aim is to buy the 'jest goods, such as we can warrant just as we represent them We buy direct from the factory anl sell as low as the quality will per mit. We are not in the mark et, for competition with low pri ced goods, but will refund the money lor any article sold which Is not as we represe.it it. We have been liberallv rewarded in our sales for oureff rts, and are getting new goods every week, which we take pleasure in hav ing inspected. Owing to the high reputation ot the genuine Rodgers ware, unscrupulous dealers are continua"y resorting to fraudulent meth ids to sell their wares under the name of Rodgers and parties running through thecountry peddling, representing themselves as tra veling for Rodgers, are simply impostors and their wares cheap trash. Rodgers sell ouly to deal ers and only such goods as bear thetrade marks are genuine, if you know them all right,-if not vou are the party they are hunt ing for.
