The HOLIDAY Trade.

Judging from the large crowd daily
visiting Barry & McDannel's, and the
quantity of packages that have been
shipped from that establishment DUR
ing the past week, we are of opinion
that they are doing an extraordinary
large holiday business. Their sales are
much larger than ever before during
the same period. This is as it should
be, for they have made great prepare
tions for the occasion-their stock con-
sisting of not only large and we'll Sc
lected stock of fruits, nuts, candies, &C.,
but they have the largest and finest
selection of novelty goods and toysever
offered in the..State, comprising every
thing that is made of wood, wax, paper
machi, tin, pewter, lava and china.
Their china goods, particularly, are
very fine, and embraces everything
that can he found in first>class house.
Their China goods are truly beautiful,
and are sold at unprecedented low
prices. Give them a call, and after
examining their stock, we feel assured
that no one will go elsewhere to pur-
chase

SOMETHING ABOUT THE POOR
HOUSE.
a Former Inmate Ten. woetul s,or,

A Former Inmate Tells a woetul story
Yesterday woman from the county
poor house arrived in the city, and
calling at the Office of Justice Conner,
chairman Of the County Court, she
made some grave charges against the
superintendent of the poor house, and
happening in we took a few notes.
She called herself Eliza Moore. She
had spent the best part of her life
waiting upon her aged father, W no died
in North Carolina, and he being Ma
son, the Mason's made enough money
up for her to come to this county. She
made her living by work and when
she failed in this, she was sent to the
poor house six years ago the Goth of
next January. Three years ago last
August, the present uperintendent
took charge of the house, and, she
said, s. as he couldn't read nor write he
took one in the house to keep his &C
counts for him. He mistreats the poor,
and often whips and cuffs them about,
y
clothed. I was compelled to sew for
the family, and then also for the cOun~
ty poor, but every garment made for
them / was required to charge against
the county, making sum of from S25
to $35 every three months, and one
quarter it amounted to $43, and he
would draw the pay and keep it, while
[ was not even comfortably dressed
having only been furnished with two
linsey and two calico dresses, aud two
| under garments" .
As to the diet, she said she didn't
suffer so much, as she stayed in the
| house, but that the poor on the hill
| often had miserable meals, and on Sab
bath they never received any supper
| at all, this season of the year, while
| during the week they would get piece
| of corn bread for supper. On Sabbath
| morning they were furnished with
wheat bread, the only meal in the
week they enjoyed this luxury, while
" corn dodger" was their regular
bread. ms ... .... -
She said that they only cleaned up
once in every three months, hence the
| place was full Of vermin in the winter
and summer. They would clean up
everything q day or two before the
quarterly settlement, when the Com
missiOners appeared. but after they
had left the superintendent would
again abuse most of the inmates. She
says one of the main sufferers is an old
woman, who Is subject to fits, and that
she is often beat and kicked about
! She says that some few can get dresses
| whenever they want them, but the
majority can beg until they are nearly
| naked before their wants are supplied
We could fill a column with hel
complaints but think the above suffi-
cient to suggest an investigation by
the County Court. And here we
would state that this is not the first
time we have heard complaints in re
gard to the management of this insti-
tuition. Ifthe many charges made are
without foundation, it will certainly
be best for the Superintendent thai
the matter is Investigated and his
character vindicated, but should they
prove true he should no longer hold
! the position. AT any rate thorough
Investigation Is the only way to arrive
at the whole truth concerning the
matter.

The B0Ots Found, and the Thief Cap
tured.


We gave an item in Yesterdays
paper to the effect that some work had
been stolen out Of &. Helms shop, on
Prince street, during Saturday or Sun
day night. On Monday, Sheriff Swan
made trip in the country with the
hope of getting on the trail of the thief,
while Officer Cain tried his hand in
working up the case in the city.
Sheriff Swan returned in the evening,
having lost the trail, but still hopeful
of capturing him. After coming off
duty Monday night about 10 O'Clock,
Officer Cain pushed his inquiries, and
followed them up yesterday morning.
He got on his trail" and followed it
tn the foot of the ridge in the rear of
Moses Addition, where he found that
negro had oftp' - - par of boots fill
ing the descr4 I-.,.. ~ a woman, who
had partially TRADE ii for them on Mon
day night, he agreeing to call for the
pay on Tuesday morning. In the
meantime, she found that somet hing
was wrong about the boots, and res
fused to pay for them, when he took
them and started westward, towards
/ the railroad. In further pushing his
! inquiries in that neighborhood he
/ found that George Prater, a colored
man, hat bought pair OF boots for So.
He repaired to his house near there,
and found it locked, and starting to-
T yards She city he caught glimpse of
him and followed him, and finally
came up with him. He at once adj
mitted buying the boots, and returned
to the house with the officer and pro-
/ 0I1 rod to hn tln
! property wanted, and were left
at the Recorders office, where
Sheriff Swan found them. Officer
! Cain intended to try his hand after the
/ thief as soon as he could get off duty,
| but others saved him the trip, as near
noon the thief was brought in.
! On Monday Mr.. John Gordon, who
| lives near Erin, was in the city and
learned of the robbery and desci Upton
| of the boots. Yesterday morning a
| cOlored man appeared at his house, Of
fering them for sale, and he at once
suspicioned him being thief. He
procured the aid of Mr.. Will Taylor,
of johnson City, who happened to be
In the neighborhood on visit, and the
two made the arrest. They brought
| him to Prof. Lowery's and found the
boots a match pair to his, Mr.. Helms
having made both pair. On their way
to Knoxville, while riding in Cooper's
wagon, the man attempted to make
his escape, and would doubtles have
succeeded, but for Mr.. Cooper, who
cut the hame string from one Of his
horses and mounting, made pursuit,
soon Overtaking him. He now rests in
Jail, and will have a hearing to-day.
The officers and citizens deserve credit
for their zeal in bringing this thief to
| justice. The boots were shown to Mr..
Helms, who at once recognized them.
