more, we will prove our charges by means

bons Of every hue and ladies' hats of every
shape and pattern. The immense stock carried
by this frm suggests to the visitor ample fnan-
clal strength and ability. Their trade is drawn
from Northern Georgia, Western North Caro-
llna, Southwestern Virginia, Southern Kentucky
and East Tennessee, comprising an area equal
IN extent to the whole State of Tennessee. They
estimate the number of dealers who purchase of
them at five hundred During last spring S
trade, they placed upon their books the names
OF one hundred and ninety-seven new firms,
mary OF which are fresh acquisitions to the
Knoxville trade Their business is susceptible
of still greater increase.
That this firm possesses great advantages in
buying can not be denied Mr. McNulty is q
resident Of New Ysrk and is constantly in the
market. From New York, the head of the hat
and cap market, to Massachusetts,, headquarters
for boots and shoes, is but few hours travel.
In the rigor and prime of life, with a knowledge
gained by long experience, endowed with SUI
perlor business attainments, and with judg-
nent that never fails him, Mr.. NJ. as may be
supposed, is shrewd buyer, and with him rests
great share of the burden of responsibility as
also of merit and success. He is associated with
three other concerns located in different State
OF the Union, all equal, more or less in extent
and Importance, to this, and for which he fur
nishes the needed supplies. Too much stress
can not be laid on the importance of thi. adj
vantage When the market is thronged with
purchasers, prices rule high. When dizziness
reigns, then is the time for the sagacious buyer.
Mr.. Payne is a native TennesseGan and is init
mately acquainted with the wants of the South

fishing here originated. Penetrating the future
with foresight beyond his years, he saw the
opportunity afforded and promptly seized it.
Under his management, the business has been
placed on a firm and permanent footing and
much Of the credit that always attends a sue
cessful business belongs to him. He is public
spirited and evinces deep interest in the growth
and welfare of Knoxville. Of the attaches of

acquaintance of their habits and talents we
commend them to merchants generally as being

trustworthy in the discharge of their duties.

day by Coleman Macy, proprietor of the

that she did not intend to defraud the no.

in remittances from California. Judge

Mr.. Tom Hughes is said to have said
that nothing more amazed and terrified
him in this country than our recklessness
in regard to postage stamps. In England

for the good reason, perhaps, that no one
thinks of lending them. An English

MIDSUMMER.

1t is midsummer, the sweet midsummer-
Poor daffodil blossom what's that to thee7
Thou hast no part in its golden glow
Thy time of blooming was long ago;
Thou hast no share in its silver dew
1t will not wake thee to life anew.
What sadder fate can the Autumn bring
Than Summer does to a flower of Spring?
1t is midsummer, my lifes midsummer
My sorrowing heart! what's that to thee?
It's joys are things that l cannot share
IT'S not for me that its days are fair;
For Love for me was an April flower,
Whose beauty went with the passing hour.
What sadder fate can the Autumn bring
Than Summer does to flower of Spring?
