Christmas is coming.
--Our readers will see from our advertising columns that, in spite of the hard times, the sellers of Christmas goods are making ample preparations to furnish everything that old and young can desire for the joyous celebration of the approaching holidays. Our reporter will be around among the shops to-day, and to-morrow he will tell all the good boys and girls where they can go and buy the pretties and best and cheapest Christmas things that are to be found in Richmond.
