DR.. T. d. Davenport, responding
to a cordial invitation, delivered at
Bethel Friday night last a capital
lecture, highly spiced with that ra-
cy humor which bubbles up in his
soul like cry stall globules from the
depths of pellucid spring. The
audience, a. times, was convulsed
with merriment, and when the
shower of gleeful quips ceased, and
the happy effort was brought TO a
close, everybody heaved a sigh OF
regret. At the close Of the lecture
the ladies and gentlemen present
repaired to the school house to re-
vive their gay humor in the pleas
ures of the dance.

1899 bfles.

A small portion of the cotton
contained in the above seized ule was
received from other counties; hut
we are confident that it is safe to
estimate that as much of the staple
went out OF Giles to shipping points
in other counties as came ilto it;
hence we make no alteration in the
figures. The Pulaski Cotton Mills
have either consumed or stored
away about 200 bales, and it is
thought the stock remaining on
hand .undisposed of in this place
and in other parts of the county
will amount to about 500 bales.
Accepting these figures as reliable,
and they certainly cannot be far
from correc the entire crop of the
county about IL, 799 bales; the value
of which approximate $800,000.
These figures will give some idea OF
Giles couuty's Importance in the
commonwealth; especially when it
is borne in mind that they represent
the value of only one product of
her soil If her shipments of
wheat, corn, cattle, mules horses,
hogs, etc, were included, the sum
total would assume vaster proper
lions.

The Boston Egening Post says the Conkling-
Sprague scandal, which holds the first place in
society gossip, both in that State and in New
York, has received fresh impetus from the
fact that Gov. Sprague is reported to have been
driven to desperation by the intrigues and
persecution of his enemies, and he no " threat
ems to tell the whole story of his
wife's alleged infdelity and Oonkling's
wiles and temptations. His friends, both
here and in New York, say that be has positive
proof of criminality extending over many
years at Washington and extending to the re-
cent Presidential canvass. when Roscoe and
Kate travelled to Buffalo together and were in
company at the Palace hotel. That OonkIinQ
broke up the Sprague household and COM
promised his wife nobody doubts, but that it
will hurt him in the estimation of the RepubIi-
can party and its leaders is not so certain He
broke up the Howe family in New York city
and the Hayden household in AL
bany, but it has made no difference. Just now
the New York public feel much more interest,"
ed in learning about the Sprague trouble. Two
families are agonizing over it. Senator Sprague
feels the disgrace of his wife very keenly.
Mrs. Conkling and her daughter are 80 over
whelmed by it that they rarely 60 into society.
and live as secluded az possible. Mrs, Conk.
ling is proud and self contained woman. but
tell tale lines on her face which were not there
three years ago. betrsy the fact that she is

They DonG Hold When the Market Gets
Excited.
CHICAGO, Nov. 22.-The Public Produce
exchange, the largest institution CT the kind
in Chicago, suspended shortly before 1
o'clock to-day, having been badly crippled
by the recent advance in grain, provisions,
cotton and stocks, which rose so fast to -day
that there was regular jam of bull operators
at the counters. This rise in all kinds of
speculative articles has caught most of the
"bucket Shops" and several have already
suspended. A. Loring, president of the
Chicago Produce exchange, says the concern
has paid out over $25O,O0O within ten days.
It is designed to settle and continue bust
ness. The liabilities are not vet known:
probably over 100000.
Owing to its last country business the firm
cannot give definite statement of its liabil
tiles, but they are generally set down as
from 100000 to $4,000 with assets from
$4,000 to $4,000. The firm was more
