THE RUSH AT BARToN's
Easily Explained by Glance at
His Stock.
A More Complete Establishment
Not to be Found.

Not to be Found.
Having business in Mr.. Bartons |
on different occasions in the last few
days, we always found the store
thronged with lady customers, so
much so that we wondered how his
efficient corps of clerks, though as
swift In their movement as any pos
sibly could be, would be able to wait
upon them oil. Yet we presume all were
supplied with just what they want
ed; for we saw no one leaving with
dissatisfied air or frowning face. A
look through his immense establish
ment easily explains the cause OF
this rush. Mr.. Barton has one of
the finest stocks of goods in his line
ever displayed in Knoxville House.
And right here will not be amiss to
give the reason why this is thus.
He has been connected with the dry
goods trade in this city for many
years, and there is not man IN the
city better calculated to know the
wants of the ladies of Knoxville
than he is. His acquaintance is ex-
tensive, in fact we presume there are
but few business men better &C
quainted with their customers, and
he knows just what kind of goods to
purchase to suit their wants. His
taste in the selection of goods is un-
surpassed in this city, as any lady
can be easily convinced by giving him
call and looking through his stock.
AS matter of course it does not
come within the scope of an article
like this to go into minute detail
of all the articles we saw IN his store
attracting our attention. In fact If
we did so, we would be compelled to
yield him the entire space of this is
sue, but to mention few of the
leading lines will not lack of interest,
especially to our lady readers. His
stock of shawls is large and very
complete, and comprises almost every
grade and price. His dress goods
consist of from the finest black silk
to the cheapest dress goods made, and
ladies will have no difficulty in max
ing q selection. Having dress
making department united with the
establishment, under the efficient
management of Mrs Long, the la
dies can have their dresses made to
order in the same house, and a per
:, feet fit is always guaranteed. Having
also one of the largest and most com
plete stock of ladies underwear and
white goods, hosiery and gloves
l handkerchiefs, etc, lady can be
supplied out and out complete in ev-
cry department of her wardrobe from
night dress up to cloak or dol
man suited to every condition or sta
ton in life, from a servant to the
most fashionable lady; goods tc
, adorn the most fastidious bride, OF
> dress the humblest mourner. II
!. fact Mr.. Barton can suit all who
may call.
We would also call attention tt
Mr.. Barton's stock of carpets, which
: can be found on the upper floor, ane
if you want anything in that line
don't fail to call for them because
you do not see them, for he can fur
nish you with anything from the fin
est English OF American Brussels
down to almost the cheapest made
and floor oilclothes of every style
He has also an inexhaustible stool
of fancy notions for ladies, but W.
will not attempt to describe this de
partment, as the articles are too nu
r merous to even attempt to mention
= them.
GENTLEMENs DEPARTMENT.
$ The gentlemen need not think be
Q cause the ladies are mentioned frs
j, that they are neglected, for such il
!, not the case, for Mr.. Barton has al
S endless variety of gents furnishing
t goods. His gents shirts can not b.
/ excelled, having them made to order
f and out of the very best material
s Full stock of gents underwear, col
lars, cuffs, eravats, suspenders, ano
5 many other articles needed by them
} But we must come to close, by say
1 ing that we have but barely touched
upon the subject, and that our space
is much too limited to do justice to
, Mr.. Barton's excellent stock Of
r goods, and by advising our readers
to call and examine for themselves,
