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,

What might have been a serious accident
fortunately passed off with sHulit Injur,

last week one day, himself riding on a lit.
tlo coasting sled which capsized anu was
run over by the loaded sled.

It will be remembered that we
i i . . 1 . it t
Doumit tiie entire wnoiesaie
stock of Messrs. Rietrel, Scott
& Lo., (retiring lrom business).
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.

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

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. A small piece of gum
camphor placed with your silver
will help to prevent its tarnish
