Heavy breaks every day and prices well sustained. At the rate tobacco is coming in now there will be over tive miil-; lion pounds by January Inst, 1396. We heard a gentleman from Danville, Va., say a few days ago, that nearly all the Dauvil'e to- bacconists could spot tae Gresn- ville tobacco from th3 other to- bacco sold on other markets in eastern purt of the State. He said the tobacco sold in Greenville was much more desirable than the other markets. Another in expressing himself about Greenville said that he had decided to locate here, that for the last three years he had beep watching eastern Carolina and that he had long been convinced that Greenville was THE market of the east- This same gentleman is casting around now expecting to make some investments here. He is a tobacconist and has been on the largest totkacco markets in the world all his life. He told the up his mind to come here tuo hve. He predicts that within five years Greenville will sell fifteen miilion pouads tobacco.

Beneficial local showers occurred on three days. The amovnot of sunshine was abundant. These conditions were very favorable for saving fodder und late hay, and for cotton, which is openiug well.

Both early and tate corn are safe, EASTERN DISTRICT- Excepting near the coast and a few counties in the southern por— tion of the district, where a good deal of rain occurred, the week has been very dry and warm, and the whole quite favorable for work now being done. Cool nights did not setin uatil the end of the week. Fodder-pulling is about completed, except some late fields in the north, and was uicely saved in large quantities. Fall crcp of hay is also being cut and easily cured. The week was very favorable for cotton, which is opening well, and pick~ ing is progregsing, though slowly at present. A few complaints of boll-worms were receiyed. Ear ly aod late corn both safe. To- bacco is abuut all cured. Sweet potatoes are comiag into markat.

It illustrates the methods of a man who has made the most remarka— ble record of anv cotton yrower in Georz,ia. A few years ago he bought a Troup coauty farm which had beea practically aban- doned by its owners and by work and intelligent cultivation he has made it famous for its fruitfal— ness: In 1886 on five acres oflaad Mr. Truitt raised fifteen bales of cotton, which beats the record in Georgia if not in the country. This year he bas four hundred acres in cotton and will make three hundred bales. He will also have a surplus of corn, oats, meat, peas and pota toes. He has demonstrated the possibilities of farming in Geor- gia, and his improved cotton seed have benefitted thoasands of planters in the South. In the Journal office there is now a branch of acotton stalk which was broken off in one of Mr. Truitt’s fields a few days ago.

Light and volor in rooms ure important, .-The walls.are best finished in a single tint. Win dows should open directly upon the outer air, and light is better when they are close together, not separat- ed by mucb wall space, not distrib- mted. Light should be abundant, but not dazzling. It should never come from in front, nor should sun- light fall upon work or on the print- ed page. Never read or sew in the twilight after an exhausting fever or before breakfast. Look up fre- quently when at work and fix the eyes upon some distant object. Break up the stretch of wall by pic- tures that have a good perspective. These rest the eyes, as does looking out of a window. When at work on minute objects, rise occasionally, take deep inspira- \tions with the mouth closed, stretch the body erect, throw the arms backward and forward, and step to an open window or vut into the open air for a moment. Twodesks of dif- ferent heights are valuable for a student or writer, one to stand by and the otber tos:: by. Plenty of open air exercise is essential to good a3yesight. The general tone of the nervous system has much to do with the eyesight. Prolonged or excessive study frequently has pain or poor vision assymptom. The use of to- bacco may bring about defective vision, and alcohol sometimes de- stroys it utterly, owing to nerve in- flammation that it sets up. | City life, with shut in streets arfi narrow outlook, favors the produc- ,tion of errors in vision. When look- ‘ing at disrant objects, the normal eye is at rest. To see near by, mus- cular effort is required. This effort, 'when constant, changes the shape of the eyeball. After the eighteenth or twentieth year parts of the eye that earjier showed signs of bulging or becoming nearsighted may acquire new strength, and those who escape myopia up to this time are usually free from it after that. The children of nearsighted parents are in spe- cial danger. They require constant care. It is pest to have all children’s eyes examined for defects when they are 10 years old. Nearsightedness and color blind- ness are barriers to the army and navy, tocertain fine and mechanic arts and to many industrial pursuits. Their early recognition saves time and money and often prevents the discouragement of defeat. Ounces of prevention are better than tons of cure. There are but few forms vf partial or total blind- ness that were hot at one time the reverse of hopeless. In view of this fact the duty of parents and guard- associates. © Ouly yesterday -f ited to ten days. ians is clearly manifest.
