thirty days vacation, rather than sub.
NIT to 10 per cent reduction in wages,
states that the action of the grocery
aud provision dealers in refusing to
credit will be speedily felt, for available
funds OF most employees must be nearly
exhausted; that while it is not the policy
OF the municipal government to allow
actual starvation, charity will be dis
pensed very sparingly, and the feeling
OF the community is decidedly against
the operatives; that they will resist all
measures for relief not absolutely called
for In the light of humanity. Mean.
while, the mill owners say they are
determined to maintain their position
and settle forever the principle that
their business is not to be at the mercy
OF the help; that they have been gov
ened by the operatives too long.

Lee, he seems likely to die with his

ACCORDING to the monthly report of
the agricultural bureau, the large in-
crease of acreage in tobacco this year
Q75 per cent. over 1870 did not bring
the breadth planted up to tho standard
of 1873. The increase of acreage over
last year in Tennessee is set down at
2O3 per cent. and that of Kentucky at
223. The report says further that the
present condition of the crop in this
state is six per cent. above the average,
and in Kentucky thirty.four per cent,
adding: "a very depressed condition
is found only in those states whose
yield is too small to greatly affect the
general result" These views will hard.
ly be accepted in this immediate local.
lty, and some may go 80 far as to insin-
uate that the bureau report is manipu-
lated by the "bears."
