500 bales, taken by four brokers. 1t is
almost useless to say anything about

have been steadily ruling in favor of

to some parties, had receded fully &c. % ID,

After long and patient journeyiag up the rug.
ged steep fife, reachinga summit which but

closed her earthly career. "Dust unto dust and

young and old are alike summoned to obey. 1t
was hers to meet the doom at no unexpected time.
Age-ripened, matured and mellowed ape-had

and Death came as no unbidden guest to release
the spirit so long immured within its tabernacle
of decay.
