The changes during last season in the
SIZE OF the yarn produced by our
Northern mills was quite marked.
Looking at the returns of the Manufac-
turers Association we find that the average
for 1867 S was No 27S, and about 60 lbs
per spindle. subsequently the mills, so
tar as 1t was practicable, were turned on to
the heavy fabrics, many of them working
extra hours to meet the profitable demand,
and in February, 1869, the average yarH
was No. 2744, and the consumption per
spindle 6l3 TBS. Later again, this demand
for heavy goods being over supplied, there
was return, SO far as possible, to light
goods. As result CT these different
changes, the average consumption of the

DECORATION Of Graves

During this month the graves of the
fallen Confederate soldiers will be decOra-
ted with flowers and evergreens. Many of
them have already been. These sincere
heart-offerings show that those who fell in
the struggle yet live in memory. May the
green turf rest gently above their manly
bosoms,' though the blue sky CLOVIS no
more above their immortal spirits.

STRAws, it is said, ''show which way the
wind blows. Well, we grant this, and
also believe that the appearance of straw
hats show equally as plain that spring is
here with its pleasant days, balmy winds,
green woods, etc. Everybody should wear
straw hats in these days, but everybody is
not posted as to where they can be found,
nor neither has everybody the extensive
stocks that Douglass & Solomon have at
No. 90 North cherry street. They have
not only the. largest stock and greatest va
riety, but sell cheaper than any body.

From the foregoing it appears that the
North (if the same stocks are carried over
by the mills this year that were carried
over last year, will require about 1872, 900
bales more before Sept. l, of which it Is
not unlikely that 80, 600 bales will go over
land direct, and 100000 bales be taken
from the ports. Of course this result may
be somewhat affected by the condition Of
the growing crop during the summer. But
with favorable progress in that respect it
would appear from these figures that ouI
available surplus for export will exceed,
rather than tall below 2, 100, 600 bales.

one Hundred and rive Years Old

There is now an old negro man named
Frank Polk in this county, says the Co.
lumbia Herald, who was born in Bruins
wick county, Va, on the 18TH of July,
1765, and consequently is 1O5 years old.
He came to Stewart county, Tenn, with
his master, Mr.. John Polk, father of our
fcllow-citizen, F. A. Polk Esq, where he
renamed three years, when he came to what
is now Maury county, about three months
before the town of Columbia was laid off.
He came in April and the town was laid off
in the following August. He has been
blind for three years, but is still able to
walk about, and says he does not dread
death now any more than he did twenty
years ago. But for his blindness, he says,
he could do many chores about home. He
is now with Kit and Harry Hadley, on
Carriers Creek.
