PAPERS AND THEIR READERS.

There are people who are loyal
subscribers and who would not miss
their paper more than they would
their breakfast, who feel no interest
in the political or general news, nor
in the discussion of topics or general
items, but care only for the marine
intelligence. We have heard young
man remark that he saw no use in
newspapers at all, he felt no interest
in them except the marriages and
deaths, and card for these would
be all that lie should ask for, and
yet he bitterly complained that the
carrier had missed him one morning.
One old lady complains that there
are not enough love stories in her
paper; one reads only the items, and
another calls them sawdust, and stu
dies the longer accounts Of events.
One man never reads an editorial ar
ticle, and another gathers all his no
tions Of political and social events
from the editorial discussion of
these. In newspaper, great or
small, very widely varied taste has
to be considered, and in pleasing the
public the journalist can hardly hope
to please an individual.

A Rushing Business.

Mr.. j. l.. Hudiburg, the Market
Square Grocer, certainly must have
sold and delivered on yesterday enough
goods to have supplied oil the citizens
Of Knoxville for week. Stepping
into his store about 10 o clock, we saw
the largest crowd we have ever seen
in a store in Knoxville. There was a
perfect jam, and we saw dozens OF
persons leave because they could not
get into the store and be served. The
proprietor and every clerk were on a
run from daylight until II o'clock at
night. His three delivery wagons
were the entire day delivering the
goods sold. When we saw the prices
at which he was selling the goods we
could not but be astonished. He was
selling sugsr-cured hams at 10 cents
pound, rice at u cents, sugar at y
cents, pure ground coffee at 20 cents,
not mixed with peas and chickery, as
some parties in town do; cheese at 124
cents per pound, crackers at cents;
tobacco al cents a plug, canned
straw berries at cents a can, and we
understand he sold at retail forty-three
dozen canned corn at 10 csnts, peas at
10 cents, pine apple at 124 cents. We
said to him that we were astonished at
the prices he was selling at, but he
said we need not be, as he was about
making arrangements whereby he
would be enabled to almost, If not en-.
tirely, give away goods by next Satur-
day. We advise all of our readers who
want the best goods at the lowest
prices to call upon him.

The valentine BOOM.

Yesterday was booming day in the
Valentine business. The postoffice
clerks, with an extra force, were kept
quite busy, and there was continual
rush at the general delivery. from
morning till night, of eager searchers
after the precious missives. The comic
Valentines seemed to largely predOm-
mate, and varied were the emotions
and appearances OF the recipients
when the envelopes were torn open.

late Themselves on being through with
their Job yet, however, for the ''retalla.

Buyers of Dry Goods

Are invited to examine the stock OF
Dry Goods we have recently pur-
chased, and which is now nearly all
in store. Any caller Will notice that
our present stock is the largest ever
shown by us. To prove the wisdom
Of making so large purchrse at this
time, we refer our friends to the
daily press, which is teeming with
reports Of advances in prices. The
fact is that the goods purchased only
ten daye ago are to-day worth Is per
cent. more than we paid for them.
1t is our intention to give our GUS
toners the lenefit Of our speculations;
consequently, 1t is clearly TO their ads
vantage to buy from us, and to buy at
once before other advances, which are
predicted by all leading Dry Goods

Marshall q Co. removed their nne
stock of Music Merchandise, yesterday,
from the building they Rave occupied
for the last six months to the one JUS
opposite, teIy occupied by McMuiien
& Co.'s Boot and Shoe house.
Marshall & Co. Is comparatively q
new firm, but by energy and upright
ness they have won for themselves an
enviab!e and lucrative trade, One
reason OF their great success is the fact
that they handle none but the best oil
instruments and sell them for short
profits. They have better list of Or.
GaDs and Pianos than any other music
house 10 the whole South. They are
agents for the famous New England
Organs, the Burdette, the Estey and
Standard, and for the Chickering.
Weber, Lindeman and Chase Pianos.
The New England organ 10 the best
made, and their popularity in this
section Is wonderful, as sixty.two OF
them were sold by this firm during
the month Of December.
Marshall & Co.'s line of small goods.
such as violin and guitar strings, har-
monicans, accordeons, sheet music,
&C., are the finest ever brought into
this market. The buying is under the
control OF Prof. Marshall, who is a
practical musician of many years.
standing, Anyone desiring anything
in the music line can not do better
than to cali on them.
Owing to the largely increasing
business of the CHRONICLE, We are

the first part of next, we will move
our Office to the large, three'story

the past year with fine patronage,
