In your last issue of Nov. 3Oth you pub
lished an interview with Thos. S. Davis,
late Steward of the Deaf and Dumb and
Blind Institution, in which find the fol-
lowing
'sEarly in the fall of 1882 / (Davis) proposed to
the Executive Committee to contract for the
coal supply for the approaching winter, when
one member of the committee engaged in that
business proposed to furnish it as low it could
be bought for. shortly after his undertaking
the contract was handed by gentleman from
1925 per ton, but when this Director presented
his bill 1t was $40 per ton. The amount of coal
S548. Is more than the State could have got the
coal for from party outside of the Board of
Visitors. repeatedly informed this Director
that had lower bid but no action was taken.
7. S. Davis doubtless refers to me as the
one member Of the Committee who propos.
ed to furnish coal for the Institution, and
in reply to the charge that | made any such
proposal OF undertook in any way to sell
coal to him for the Institution while j was
a member of the Board of Directors, say
it is false. Davis was authorized by the
Executive Committee to purchase the sup
ply of coal for the coming winter, early in
the fall, and from that time he was fully
empowered to purchase his coal of whom
SOever he chose, without any interference
on the part of the Executive Committee,
or by me as q member of that Committee.
Soon after he was so authorized, he pro-
sell him, as Steward, his coal, but this l
positively refused to do upon the ground
that it would be improper for me to do so,
being member of the Institution Board.

Lewis, and was never connected with that
firm in any other way than an agent. AS

supplying the Institution with coal for the win

to our Office. at the coal yard. and stated to me
that he did not intend advertising for bids, and
II we Larew Lewis( would furnish the i1nsti.
tuition with the same kind and quality OF coal at
the yard that we had furnished the year previ-
Gus, when A. N. breckenridge was Steward, he
would pay the same price that Breckenridge
paid !; and this proposition accepted. Upon
this contract, Davis hauled a considerable guam
fifty of coal from our yard, until In December,
soon as we noticed that Davis had stopped haul
ing, Mr.. Arthur Wilson, our clerk, saw him in
with Mr. Davis, I'VE continued upon different
contracts, to furnish the Institution with coal,

delivered. In December. 1882. Thos. 8. Davis,
Steward of the Institution, stopped hauling coal
from the yard, and went to see him TO nnt out
why he had stopped, as Understood that his
contract with Mr.. Lewis was for the whole WIN
ter supply, and when asked him why he had
stopped hauling coal. he said that II Larew =

then told him we cosald sell him coal cheaper
Cat 500 per ton, the regular car price,, Il he
would take It from the car, and he said this he
preferged and that he would buy it that way
After trying this mode of buying for q short
time, he became dissatisfied and declined to buy
this way any longer. In the meantime coal had
fallen, and agreed to sell coal at the yard low
er than the price agreed on between him and
Mr.. Lewis. / made the above sales myself, and

will equal anything outside of the larger
cities They have put in additional show
cases. and yet there doesn't seem to be
half room enough for the temptingIdis-
play they make, 1t is generally remarked
that each succeeding holiday season pre-
sents richer attractions than its predeces-
sors, and so far from this being an excep.
tional season, it only the more forcibly il
Illustrates the rule. The most beautiful de.
sign of odor cases, workboxes, &C., in
satin handpainted, velvet and plush, richly
ornamented, and handsome leather are dis.
played in the cases, together with other ar.
tleies, any one of which is an art treasure.
IN Christmas caFds the display is unique,
and the assortment is really study as to
how elegantly they can be gotten up. But
the assortment of the Allen Bros. is not
confined to fancy goods alone. They
have a splendid variety of lamps and lamp
goods, and in fact almost everything to
make home attractive, and the Christ

GUS A. WEBER'S

If you want to see how much can be got
ten for little money, you should call at
the ninety-nine cent store of Gus. A.
Weber, next to Oiivier's. You can find
almost anything you want.
J. Il. CRAIG'S
live, ten, twenty-five and fifty cent store is
q curiosity in itself. 1t is jammed from
morning to midnight, but the stream of
customers, though nearly everyone goes
away loaded, seems to make but slight
impression ON the large stock. The fact
is Bob is constantly receiving, as well as
selling, for nothing short of the most en-
ergetic purchasing could keep up the in
finite variety with which his store is filled.
We shan't undertake to enumerate what s
there, for one might as well try to count
the stars. You might spend an hour
about his counter and wouldn't be able to
tell half you saw. Every child in town
considers Craig's paradise.
GABRIEL HIRsH's VARIETY STORE.
1t there is any man in town who has a
right to claim that he knows the tastes and
wants Of the people of Staunton, that man
is Gabriel Hirsh. For decades he has con-
tributed to their pleasure, and many a man
and woman who have children clustered
around their knees, remember when Uncle
Gabriel was to them veritaDle Santa
Claus and the old variety store the richest
of fairy realms. And year after year, even
through generations, have his ample shelves
and show cases and counters afforded the
most varied collections of Christmas pres
ents that Staunton could boast. For 1888,
from garnet to cellar is the old stand filled.
And such an assortment. 1t embraces ev-
erything that man, woman or child could
wish. The upper story is motley COL
lection of toys, and the central attraction
a doll house OF imposing dimensions and
elegant design. tits thoroughly furnished
in separate apartments and will afford
children hours of pleasure to look at it..
But this is only one of the many features
of this exhibit. There are all kinds of dolls.
doll carriages, toys in every conceivable
shape and size, and useful articles suitable
for presents to all classes and conditions of
society. Read his advertisement and see
the extraordinary inducements he offers to
those who purchase dollars worth of
goods.
