LOCAL NOTES AND TOBACCO
JOTTINGS

BY O. L. JOYNER.
Fully half the crop has already |
been cured, if not two-thirds, and
from best reports the cures have
been fairly good.
Mr.G. P. Fleming, of Clarks-"
ville, Va., came in Wednesday
night and will locate on this mar-
ket. He is a yery extensive buy-
er we are told.
WinstonTs decrease in the sales
of leaf tobacco this year accord-
ing to the President of the Win-
ston Tobacco Association is 1,-
348,108 pounds.
Pitt, one of the new tobacco |
producing counties of Eastern
Norti Carolina, is importing to
baccu curers from the old bright
belt at a rapid rate. More than a
hundred have been eiployed, at'
an average puy of $40 per month.
"Danville Zobacce Journal.
The Commonwealth of Pennsyl-
vania has brought suit against
the American Tobacco Company
to recover license fees for doing
business in that State. for the
year commencing July Ist, 1895.
The defense claims that if the
legislature of Penusylvania has
passed any laws subjecting them
to a fee for license tbat it is un-
constitutional in that it conflicts
the Iuter-State Commerce
with
Law.
There were many pleased farm-
ers on the breaks to-day.

Two small boys, one ason of
Mr. W. G. Webb and the other a

gun Wednesday afternoon. Young
Webb had the gun, and while
trying to shoot a bird accidental

Please allow me to write to you
and tell you of a farm I was. walk-
ing oyer the other day. When
the farmer asked me to just look
at his watermelons we hauled
the largest to the house and
weighed it and it tipped the bal-
ances at two anda half pounds.
Then he wanted me ~to see in his
garden. He gaveme his largest
cabbage for dinner, which meas-
ured nearly two inches across,
They were the Late Drumhead.
and he says are the finest he has
ever raised, and he ,had raised
them for twenty years. He is a
good Democrat and an excellent
farmer,but donTt judge his neigh-
bors by what I have told you of
him. I also have a neighbor who
has worn out several rabbit boxes
catching tobacco worms.

The Cherokee form of marriage
perhaps, the simplest and
most expressive to be found
' @mong modern people. Man and
maiden, their courtship happily
ended, simply join hands over a
_ running stream, emblematic of
: the wish that their future lives

There is every indication that
the next election in New York
State will wipe out last years
150,000 Republican majority and
substitute in its place a substan-
tial Democratic vistory. The
present contest between the Re-
publicans and the Democrats in
New York cannot fail to result
advantageously to the Democrats.
oA great change has come over
the Democrats since last fall�
says the New York Times, owhen
the outlook was gloomy and the
prospects for this year were dis-
comraging. Where six months
ago there was left nothing but
the divided, defeated and dia-
couraged party there is now a
substantially united and hopefal
body, seeking to . perfect its or-
ganization and making a strong
effort to win victory that shall be
deserved.�

He Knew Enough.
The esteem in which the agail-
orTs calling is held in Massachu-
setts coast towns is indicated by
a true story that comes from Gay
Head, a primitive community on
the island of MarthaTs Vineyard.
A teacher was wanted at the
village, aud a sailor, with indian
biood in his veins, applied to the
town committee for tha position.
He nad to pass an examination
by the committee, and trembled
at the ordeal, being sadly un-
learned in book-lore.
The chairman began the exam-
ination :
oMr."".», what is the
the earth *�
oIt is round, sir,� the candi-"
date answered.
oHow do you know ?�
oBecause I have sailed around
it three times-�
oThat will do, sir!"
He received the ocertificate� as
a teacher without another ques-
tion being asked.
oIf you die, I will sleep by
your grave all the rest of my life.�
This remarkable vow was e
fifteen years ago to his sick wife
by Edwin L. Morrison, at that
time chief clerk of the Pennsylva-
nia freight department at Miami-
ville, Ohio. He built a rude hut
at the side of his wifeTs graye in
the cemetery. Now Edwin L.

road man, is old, wriukied and

BRIDES ON�"� ~THE BIG BRIDGE.
They Wear Gray or or Brown Dresses
and Quiz the Policemen.
~*Was there ever a bride that.didnTt
insist upon having in her trousseau
@ gray or brown traveling dress?�
asks the New York Press. -
If you want to answer this ques-
tion to your own satisfactlon walk
across the Brooklyn bridge any day,
especially in midsummer, and you
will see brides by the'score.
You can tell them at once by their
gray or brown dresses and their leis-
ure. They stroll along with their
husbands and look at the river, mar-
vel at the statue of liberty and-won-
der whether Governor's island could
resist an invader, all with a delight-
ful freshness that is restful to the
sight of a nervous metropoiitan resi-
dent.
The policemen on the bridge be-
come wonderfully softened in-sam-
mer, for they have many colloquies
with timid, blushing brides, who be-
lieve the police know everything and
And the
policemen like the job of telling all
about the points of interest to be
seen from the bridge, and almost
wish that ~~he�T and his bride had
nothing to do save to be astonished
on the Brooklyn bridge and store up
memories to be turned loose on the
community at Wayback or Spring
City.
One way that brides can be dis-
tinguished from ordinary people is
by their far-away look. They do not
seem to see the people near by. They
seem not to care what interest they
themselves excite. They are simply
ridiculously happy and New York is
only agigantic pleasure ground to
therm.
The bridegroom? Oh, yes; he is
there, of course, but. he is only an
attendant of the bride and he doesnTt
count for much on the Brooklyn
bridge.
| Glass Biicks.
Hollow bricks of glass are being
used in the construction of the walls
of winter gardens and plant houses.
They are so set that the hollows are
Gilied with rarefied air, which is a
non-conductor of heat. The bricks
are laid in a cement that unites the
entire mass firmly. It is thought to
be possible to use bricks without
j; any support, and experiments areT
being made on roofing with this
glass, which, put-ep in arch shape,
it is hoped, be sufficiently
strong to answer all purposes with-

COINING: oMALLA BROER?
Uncle Sam_ Derives a Large Profit
from the Occupation.
One of the most profitable occupa-
tions of the United States govern:
ment is found in the coinage of five-
erent nickel. pieces and one-cent
bronze pieces.
bronze disks from which the cents
bre stamped is about twenty cents
per pound, and a pound of them pro-
duces one dollar and forty-six cents.
Nickel ready for coinage costs thirty-
two cents per pound and a pound
produces four dollars and forty-three
cents in five-cent pieces. The
average profit of seigniorage on the
coinage of these minor coins for the |
past few years has been about six
hundred and fifty thousand dollars.
There is a profit, and a consider-
able one, in the coinage of subsidiary
Silver coin, but owing to the fact
that the United States owns several
mflion ounces of bullion which was
purchased at the prevailing high
rate of 1890, the profit in that speciés:
of coinage is not as great as it would
be if the government should go into
the open market to-day and buy
silver at its market value for this
purpose.
There is a big demand at the
treasury department for bright new
coins of all denominations. Almost
every request that is received from
banks in various sections of the
country for subsidiary coins. ask
that bright new ones be sent.. Every
month the street car companies and
banks of the capital city turn into
the treasury large quantities of |
nickels, dimes and quarters, for
which they receive in turn paper
money of large denominations... Of
course the money thus redeemed is}
not ~~new� and there is ro demand
for it. The result is that there are
large quantities of such subsidiary
coin in the vaults of the treasury,
and it is impossible to get it oho
circulation. Exchange.
