It is ruled by the postal authorities
that any reduction of the size of
the postal card by clipping, rounding off
the corners, or otherwise, will subject
the receiver of the card to a charge of
one cent on delivery. This makes a
postal card equivalent to letter postage.
Many people enclose postal cards to

TO THE TOBACCO FARMERS
Just stop, think, consider where you can
best protect your interest in
of your Tobacco crop
For four year we have worked hard and spent our money in building;
and placing the Greenville Tobacco Market in the front rank of the
Markets of the world. Since Greenville first had a To-
Warehouse we have been on the grounds working day and night
to acquire the best possible knowledge of how to sell the farmers
co to the best advantage and now after four years of difficult toil we
want to say to all who have tobacco to sell that we believe we are m a
better position than any Warehouse firm in Eastern Carolina to
get the highest market price for your product. So with this we make
our politest bow asking for a continuance and an increase of your pat-
only upon the strictest business merit. We have no special pets
to whom fancy prices are given at the expense of less favored ones but
our undivided personal attention is given to every pile of your Tobacco
and if your interest should at any time be neglected our attention only
needs to be called to it and cheerfully and willingly all wrongs will be
righted. Our opinion is that Tobacco is selling very well for the
we expect a lively market. So when you
get ready to sell just hook up and drive straight to the old reliable
headquarters for high prices, good averages and all
round courteous treatment.

There still many men, though
the world will believe it,
who are so that they cannot
avow their literary work, or who
feel as if they derogated from their
dignity in avowing it, or who are
unable to hear a criticism on them-
selves by name, which do not
feel unpleasantly when applied to
their work. They know and
they tho natural patrons of the
quarterlies. There is much to be said
even in the historical and scientific
departments of thought which the
writers do not care to say over their
own signatures, and which it is to
world's interest should be said.
And finally in our day work is apt
to be deteriorated by being signed.
The writer is anxious about himself,
his own repute, his own
his own standing in foreign eyes,
rather than about the quality of his
work. There are cases, of course, in
which the name of the author adds
a sincere value to his work, and
cases also in which a prose writer

Kit Stater.
We have all heard of Kit Carson,
famous hunter and scout, whose
stirring adventures in the first half
of the have furnished
for no end of border tales.
But perhaps few persons know that
sister of the redoubtable Kit
still survives in person of Mrs.
Mary Carson Ruby, who resides at
Mo. She was born on
May in Cooper's Fort, How-

Lindsay Carson, having moved there
a short time before from Madison
county, Ky.
Mrs. Ruby's earliest recollections
of home a log cabin strong-
barricaded to protect it from
bands of Indians. One of the
stories she tells her grandchildren
is how their Kit came to
be a great hunter and scout. He
was such a bright boy that it was
intended to make a lawyer of him,
but this plan was frustrated by the
early tragic death of his father.
Poor Kit was then apprenticed to a
tanner. He objected to this heart-
and to accompany his
brothers to the far wost. But, as he
was only refused to take
him.
Kit had a will of his own, how-
ever, and after they had started he
got hold of a mule and
with them at Independence Mo.
That settled it, and Kit went west.
The brothers did not return for II
years, and Mrs. Ruby saw Kit only
twice after the day ho galloped off
on his mule. Long after, when

throughout the fast growing west,
he was called to Washington in con-

concerning our government and that

of all the muscles, in grasping, must

It would be too much for the
even of bones and tendons, and
certainly for the blood vessels and
nerves, were not the palms of the
hands, the inside of the fingers and
their lips by cushions. To
add to this purely passive defense
there is a muscle which runs across
the palm and more especially sup-
ports the cushion on inner edge;
it acts powerfully as we grasp, and
it is this muscle the
edge of the palm, hollows it, and
adapts it to lave water, forming the
