The p..,l,n,sA.tKn..,,,,..

How many OF u.s. when we sit by warm fires
and we'll filled tables, and sleep in comfortable
chambers ia warm beds, ever think of the con-
dition of our less fortunate neighbors? We
boast OF the comfortable condition Of oil classes
of society, but realize very little of what suffer-
ing some undergo in our city. 1t is not expect
ed that sbject, degrading poverty should be
found IN city ofthe population of our, such as
is met with in the miserable cellars of tenement
houses in the larger cities but there is enough
even here TO arouse the sympathies of every HUI
name man or woman in the city. We have heard
of family, consisting of husband, wife and
four children, in an utterly destitute condition.
The husband and father is confined to his bed
by disease. Latterly the wife, who has been
struggling with the adverse circumstances by
which she is surrounded, together with two of
her children, have been stricken by disease.
n neighbor stepped in one morning to see
how they Jared, and found the father confined
while the mother and children were partsking Of
their scanty morning meal, consisting of corn
bread and little coffee served upon the rem
nant of an old goods box, which answered the
purpose of table. Their beds are spread upon
the hoor, and are insufficient to protect them
from the biting cold, which penetrates the
miserable house in which they reside. BY
the benevolence of a number of persons,
who have become acquainted with their Condi-
tion, starvation and freezing have been kept
away. 1t is pitable case, and we would be
glad to know there were none others so bad.
But we have heard from ladies of the different
churches, who, like ministering angels, are ever
on the lookout for field in which to do good,
of other cases almost rs bad, if not worse than
the one mentioned The only plan here for re-
lieving the wants of the suffering and destitute,
is through the agency of the several churches
There is no outside organization for this pur-
pose, Is this right? Should it be thus Is
our charity to be bestowed only through our
church organizations and perhaps sparingly
then We fear that the people of Knoxville
do not regard the condition of the unfortunate
in life, as it becomes christian people in an en-
lightened country. We know that we have
this matter at heart and who are doing a noble
work, but we do not believe that the public is
doing what should be done for the amclioratou
of the condition of the destitute.

Marrow Gause 10 Duck,ovn.

The Cleveland Banner says that the manage
mont Of the Ducktown Copper Mines is now
shipping from the Cleveland Depot $4,000
pounds of pure copper week. This, at present
prices-28 cents per pound-brings a return of
near $1,000 per week
In abiding 10 this subject the Athens Post
states that this yield has to be hauled from the
mines to Cleveland in wagons. We believe the
Ducktown Mines are considered by competent
shall be built, tapping the copper regions, the
yield will be increased tcn-fo1d, and millions Of
resources now lying idle will be developed and
brought into active use.
Again on the same subject the Banner has the
following;
"Let Bradley and Polk counties, each, take
one hundred thousand dollars in stock. and is
sue their bonds for the amount. We feel sure
that such movement would insure the speedy
building of the road Such an earnestness
upon the part Of the counties 70 be benefited,
Of tho enterprise, which would push the project
through in short order When the road is com
pleted the stock would be about par, and then if
the counties wanted to dispose of their interest
they could do so without any detriment what
ever.
Let the people of Polk and Bradley canvass
this matter. We have talked long enough about
the building of this road. If we intend to do
anything it is high time for US TO go to work.
We have waited now too long for foreign capt.
tai to do what we ought TO have done long ago
ourselves. A people that will not help them
selves when they have it in their power TO do so,
ought to remain out in the cold Now is the
time to build this road Provisions are abun-
dant labor can be had stock can be had at
reasonable figures, and in fact everything is pro-
pitious for such an enterprise

The Chronicle I'm China,

1t is proper that the West should in this day
Of lite sfiuence and culture compensate the East
for its first lessons in civilization. 1t Is debt
we owe to the cradle Of our civilization and one
We are glad to be able TO repay with interest.
While the New York Herald Is directing its
energies and great influence in lifting up to q
higher plane, the down trodden of Africa, the
CHRoEIoLE it seems is destined to find its field
amid the millions hemmed in by the great wall
of China.
Our hopes for inducing immigration were
mainly based upon our knowledge Of the desire
of Northern farmers and capitalists to avail
themselves of our moro genial climate. If the
result of our labors shall be to bring here swarms
Of the heather Chineen VIC wantit understood
now that we ddnt intend it.
But joking aside, we print the following to
show that the truth is mighty and enterprise
will prevail. Our advertisement in the New
York Tribune which goes everywhere in the
world has brought us this letter

Since our last report but little produce has

tinue. The prospects for rain and tide in

may give way a little. Just now a great search
ty exists, and the first arrivals will meet ready
sale at full prices
The stock of Flour is exhausted, the scarcity
causes enquiry and sales could be made at % to

HORSES AND MULES.
Horses are dull sale here and also in the
south. Average. good horses sell at low figures
and the supply is more than equal to the de-
mand. Plug horses sell at prices ranging from
SIS to $50 at Atlanta, about the same as here.
Mules are also dull, they are offering freely.
but holders ask more than can be realized in the
Southern market. The wholesale market,,of At
lanta is now overstocked and retailing through
the inland towns is the only way in which deal
ers can dispose of their stock to advantage
Messrs. S. N. LacIky & Co. have controlled the
market in this city for some months, but have
stopped purchasing for the present

HAY.-The demand for hny the past week
was never better than during that time, and
those of our farmers who have had the courage
TO brave tho excessive cold weather in putting
their hay in market, have realized handsome
profit. During the week, IS, 70o pounds have
been sold on Market Square, and, with but few
exceptions, at 81. 90 per hundred pounds. The
demand continues and those having hay should
take advantage of the present high price TO
place il in market.
