Peanuts and Their Prof s.
Providence (R, L. Journal

A1OfluCHNO wv AsJ oOu1hhi'
AS insignificant as the peanut business
may appear to some, it is nevertheless an
important branch in the trade of all COM
mercial centres. The country towns and
villages are large consumers. No out Of
town grocery is fully stocked without
peanuts. The profits to retailers are large,
often one hundred per centum. During
and after the war peanuts were high and
scarce, because their cultivation was in
terrupted. The price in l867-6 was So and
81 per bushel, but the profits were the
same, nearly, that they are now, but the
consumer was not so well pleased. 1t Is
estimated that 10, 900 bushels are market
ed in Providence every year. A large
part goes to surrounding towns and factory
and in access of any years crop except
that of 1879. Last years crop amounted
to 2,220,00 bushels. of wuich, it is be-
lieved l25 600 bushels are still unmarked.
The peannt year ends in September. The
harvest is in October, but in Virginia it
begins earlier. Virginia supplies sixty per
centum of the United States consumption;
| Tennessee about thirty.five per centum
North Carolina five per centum. Other
parts of the South produce some, which is
udlnly lOr nome couSumptIOn. Last year
Tennessee produced 100000 bushels, North
Carolina 120 600 bushels, and Virginia
1,350,000 bushels. The nuts marketed il
New York and herabouts come chiefly
from Virginia. while those from other
southern states find market in the West
When peanuts are scarce and high th'
African nut is imported, but with the
present supply and low prices foreign nut!
have no place in the market. Owing tc
the supply on hand from last years croI
and the large production this year, it i
believed that peanuts viii be sold for on'
dollar bushel. Peanuts are sold by DRY
measure by jobbers but retailers sell b.
wine measure, making forty quarts to the
bushel. The value of the peanut crop 0

A Tough Deer story.

A Damascus PENN letter to the
Philadelphia Times saws:
In the midst of large forest, FIVE
or six miles back of this village, lives
Henry Merrill, well-known hunter
and trapper. He has but one COM
panien In his solitary abode q daugh
ter ,aged about eighteen years. Lot
tie Merrill can row boat, shoot a
gun or trap hear as we'll and skill
fully as any man in the county of
Wayne. A day or two ago she START
ed to cross large inland lake, on the
border of which her home is located,
in light skiff. She carried, as was
her cnstom, small rife slung across
her sholder by leather strap. She
was padding along leisurely, and
when nearly half way across the pond
discoverd an object moving in the
water, and, upon approaching closer,
found that it was an immense five
pronged buck, which had been driven
into the water by dogs. She immed-
lately drew her rifle and, after taking
careful aim fired. AS she pulled the
trigger the buck made sudden
movement and the ball, insted
of reaching its mark entered the an
imals neck making an ugly and pain
full wound. The buck, enraged by
the pain, struck at the boat with one
of its forelegs, shattering the frail
bark in piecies. The boat sank at
once. leaving Miss Merrill in the
water with the struggling and in
furiated animul. But she was pluc-
ky and could swim. she grasped the
buck by the hornes and deliberately
drawing her hunting knife, which was
as sharpe as razor, from her belt,
she plunged it into the deer's neck,
killing him almost Instantly. She
then swan to shore, about an eighth
of mile, and hurrid home, where
she put on dry clothing, and after
procuring another boat rowed out tc
whire the dead buck was floating anc
! towed the animal to shore. Wher
dressed the buck weighed over 27s
pounds and was the FINEST ont
killed in this section for years. This
is the eighteenth deer Miss Merrill
has killed and she is proud of he
last adventure, which is the mos
thrillingone she had ever had. Sh'
| insteds having the bucks head stuffet
, as a memen- to of her terrible struggl
for life. Miss Merrill is uncommonl,
good-looking, worth consaiderabl
) money and is well educated, and onl,
keeps up her Diana-like life becaus
3 it pleasese her. Her father wishes
. to move into a more civilized region
= but she will not hear ofany such
t proposal.

abroad combinations,

Special to the Augusta Chronicle.
ATLANTA, GA, Nov. 18.-There is
no doubt of the movements of some
northwestern railroad combination
to form South Atlantic connection
t. rough Rabun Gap. It is alleged
1t New York company represent
il.5 $16,000,000, are in the field with
a probable connection with the Gin
cinnati Southern. Advices from
Athens indicate their possible con-
nection with the Northwestern rail-
road of Georgia, in which case the
Rabun Gap extension of that road will
speedily be built. This will necessitate
connection with the Georgia rail-
road at Athens and may cause the
purchase of the Northeastern by the
Georgia railroad. 1t is believed that
the present management of the
Georgia railroad is not adverse to
such a purchase provided the stock
can be bought at reasonable figure,
and the city of Athens is not oppos.
ed to such sale if the proper tariff
guarantees and advantages for
Athens can be secured. Augusta
seems to have a commanding posi-
ton if these alleged combinations
via Rabun Gap amount to anything.
