than a bucket full of water in the
boiler. No damage was done except
the blowing out of few bricks from
the rear end of the boiler, and ruin
ing the hue. The boiler or other ma

the premiums at the fair at Louis

down by Major Gardner, of the firm

was in attendance at the fair as the
representative of the tobacco inter
ests of Evansville, and he was treated
like prince during his stay in. Louis

fine, and was raised in Hart County,

the first premium of $500, and sold
for $131 per hundred pounds. The
second premium was taken by Vir-
GINA tobacco, and sold for S95 pei
