A football game was going a

dressed with equal taste but more

I believe that for a minute Dick
thought that Henri was out of his
senses, for ho could see that there
was no joke, but Henri soon con-
him of the truth of what ho
said. He showed him a note from
Madame that he had
found in his room after the game,
and he told him the story of his
parents. It is too common a story
to be of tho mar-
pair that cannot love, cannot
even endure each longer, so
that some plea is found and the
bond is dissolved. In this case

beautiful and accomplished, but
inexperienced; her only child had
been taken from her, she had de-
parted from an inhospitable land,

one had cared to know. Henri
could not remember his mother,
but he had clung superstitiously
to the name she had given him,
and would never English its spell-
which was all he could do to
show an inborn love for an
known parent. His father had
died years ago, and he had
brought up by his aunts and hit
uncles.

mother was found. Joy at the
idea opened his heart and his

friend his happiness and hit
pride.
He gave Roberts the note
read, and watched him with
unconquerable smile of delight
while he read it. The diction was
not of that cold formality that a
woman naturally uses in writing
a strange young man. The Eng
was good, but had one or
European turns of expression, and
the warmth of the style
seemed exotic. Although
the was involved, the
note certainly presaged a joyful
reunion of long sundered ties;
this was not put in so poetical a
form as to cause the request that

in literature. She is a tall, dis-
looking girl, with a
strongly marked personality. She
wears her light hair short, and it
curls daintily, making a shining
halo around her pretty face. In
her dress is her individuality par-
marked, as her gowns
are all made after the same model,
a long clinging bell which
she allows to sweep the ground,
and a full blouse waist made with
a low round neck. Such is fine
costume she wears continually,
never altering it, not even for the

of a hat becomes necessary.

So recently as twenty ye ago,
it was generally supposed that tho
extreme depths of the ocean wore

it has over and over again been

neither the absolute darkness nor
tho low temperature, nor the
pressure in those mysterious
abysses, has boon sufficient to

plied a rebuke to the house that in
five minutes it had to take
what it had so imprudently done.
Tho time comes to consider the
folly of having to reconsider. He
would call a halt. The committee
considered the bill and pronounced
against it because of

politics in it. He hoped it would
go to the table. Mr. Kitchin said
he was asked to introduce the bill.

took high and patriotic ground in
of the issue of bonds to in-
crease the gold reserve, arguing
that it was neither right nor just
for this administration to turn the
Treasury over to the Democrats
in a condition; but Mr.
Harrison and the other members
of his cabinet took a narrow, par-
view of the matter and re-
fused to sanction an issue of bonds
It is conceded that Secretary
has the authority under the
law of 1875 to issue bonds, but it is
not believed that he will use it as
long as Mr. Harrison opposes it,
although personally be is in favor
of it.
There is to be a big fight made
in the House against the Sundry
Civil appropriations bill, passed
by the Senate this week, because
of the Sherman amendment there-
to, authorizing tho Secretary of
the Treasury to issue
per cent, five years bonds, for gold
to increase the Treasury reserve-
The fight is to be made by the
populists and some of free-
coinage Democrats, and if it results
in the defeat of the bill, as many
think probable, an extra session
will necessarily have to be called.

The Best in the World for Rheumatism.
Charlotte, N. C, Dec,
I have used Mrs. Joe Person's Remedy
and it is the finest medicine I ever used
for Rheumatism. For more than
years I have been afflicted with Muscular
Rheumatism, and had tried every Known
remedy, but without avail. I was often
so bad and suffered so much that I
could not lie down, but had to be propped
up in bed. I had been subject to these
severe attacks for years. I tried Mrs.
Person's Remedy last spring, and am
perfectly cured. It is the best medicine
In tho world, I think. No words of
mine can express the benefit I have de-
rived from its use. My health is now
perfect, and it is all owing to Mrs. Joe
Person's Remedy. I am strong and well
and can take extended exercise without
fatigue. I advise all who need a Tonic,
or arc suffering with Rheumatism or
Eczema, to take it. I was Induced to
try It by its having cured my little
grandson of Eczema.

cotton market has been wildly excited
during the past week. Prices have been
on an advance during the entire week
to-day, being stimulated by favor-
able reports as to the settlement of the
Lancashire strike troubles which created
hopes of an early revival of
in This influence, how-
ever, was entirely late
day afternoon by advices from abroad
Which indicated no positive arrange-
for a settlement of the strikes
when the market lost heavily and is still
lower to-day. Under these circumstances
with the poor trade existing abroad and

can't hope for an improvement in

The tobacco was sold at an aver-
age of probably a little over

of wrappers at an average of- over

average of No use kicking,
gentlemen, we have got the bright
tobacco and they will sell it for as
many bright dollars as any other
market, though we have no rich
R. R. corporation to place our
town on a boom.
Of those who have thrown their
influence and given their patron-
age to Greenville, none deserve
more credit than Messrs. Edwards
and of bright tobacco fame.
Mr- says he believes in en-
and supporting all do-
enterprises when ho can
do so without a sacrifice, and his
Mr. Edwards, has
surely proven himself to be of the
same nature, for since the Green-
ville Warehouse first opened in
1891 not one load of his tobacco
has been sold on any other market,
notwithstanding the oft repeated
entreaties and promises of ware-
house drummers to carry it to
markets. Mr- Edwards always
tells them that the Greenville
market will give him all his
co is worth, and that is all he
wants. Other markets found that
they could not induce these gen-
to sell and so
they began to try new plans.
They would send a representative
there to buy it. This plan failed
also and their tobacco
goes on the floor it always, without
an exception so far, brings more i
than they were offered at
hence take it that the prices i
offered are fair indications of the
way tobacco sells in the different
markets that send out these would
be pin-hookers, country buyers,
and that Greenville is the best of
them all.
Another noticeable feature is the
fact that neither of the warehouse-
men here seldom ever buy any of
this tobacco, a fact which goes to
show that tho tobacco is sold
strictly on its merits and not for
an advertising purpose. Recent-1
we were informed that a gentle-
MERIT WILL WIN.
In order to show that tho Green
ville market is not only on a par
but in respects a superior
tobacco market, I take the
of reproducing the following
letter from a gentleman in an ad-
joining county. He divided his
tobacco and shipped one half of ii
the other he brought to Greenville
to try the market.
N. C, Feb, 17th, 1893-
Mr. O. L. Joyner,
Greenville, N. C-
Dear reply to your
favor asking what the difference
was in the tobacco I sold on your
floor and that which I shipped
will say that by shipping I lost
thirty and forty I
shall never ship any more so long
as you do as well as you have been
doing. Greenville is my market.
Will send you two more hogs-
heads in a few days.
Tours truly,
T. P. W.
In connection with the above I
should like to say that a farmer
living near Greenville was offered
on this market an average of
dollars, but a drummer had
told him if he it he would
get twenty-five. He shipped it
and got fourteen.
Gentlemen of tho Golden
give us your co-operation
and support and in return we will
give you a market of which you
feel proud, a market where you
can sell your tobacco as high as
the highest and you will thereby
give encouragement to domestic
enterprises, something that the
South is just beginning to learn.

There is one section in this
a section that I hold dear for it
is there that clusters the scenes of
my childhood and boyhood, to
which would especially appeal.
This section is that which
rounds Farm ville, the garden spot
of Pitt county. Thus far with a
few exceptions we have been
able to sell the Farmville
This can easily accounted for.
The Wilson market opened up a
few weeks prior to Greenville and
Farmville being very convenient
to. Wilson began giving it its trade
and when the Greenville market
opened, it of course, was not es
on prices hence it bus
a severe blow from the
opening break.
Those from Farmville who had
tobacco on the floor on that
become dissatisfied with
their prices and have since been
trying Wilson until recently they
are beginning to realize that
Greenville is the place because it
is cheaper to bring it here and they
get fully as much if not more
money for it.
Now in conclusion let me say
we will not think hard of you for
selling in Wilson this season be-
cause we were not on time in open-
but we shall expect you next,
and if when you have
tried us you think yon can better
yourselves by selling elsewhere we
will not utter one murmuring word.

S- Frye, of Springfield,
Mass., who was later re-elected,
said at the growers would ask
for the retention of the present
duty on tobacco. The crop of
tobacco in New England has risen
from in 1889 to
in 1802, owing to the
tariff, and the revenue in 1892
from tobacco was
more than the average revenue
for the previous five years. Five
thousand farmers and employees
