MAY J., 1889.
This has been a memorable day in the
history OF Lynchburg's tobacco trade, and
such activity was never before heard Of
here. An approximate OF the number OF
pounds OF manufactured tobacco shipped
from this place to-day to various points
places it at 100000 pounds and had Il not
been for the strike OF operatives the amount
would have been in excess OF 1000, 600
pounds. acquisitions for stamps were re-
ceiyed at the internal-reyenue office up TO
II O'Clock last night TO the amount OF
S5S,645.T2 :, and promptly at the hour OF
midnight stamps to that amount were issued
TO the representatives Of the different man
ulacturers who were in waiting. The fac
tories worked all night stamping and ship
ping packages, and the receiving and load
ing clerks at the several derOts didn't close
their eyes all night long. The rumble OF
draws along the streets commenced soon al
ter midnight. and was kept up until the
morning was far advanced.
The committee appointed to solicit men,
bers and subscriptions to the Lynchburg
Young Mems Christian Association sue
ceeded in y f~our-houls' canvass in securing
152 new members and II, 023.95. There Is

The cigar-makers have inaugurated a

undertaken to control the employment OF

this the manufacturers have resented. The

now publish every day the late weather
report for the South Atlantic States as well

which latter States Virginia is classed.
We are so near the line in Richmond and
everywhere in Virginia south Of Rich

the dividing line, that we are just about as
likely to have the weather predicted for
the one set Of States as that predicted for

"TBE yIRGINs."-Tbis is the name con-
stantly applied to Virginia bonds by The
London Money. That paperseenis TO have
a correct notion Of the state OF things in
Virginia. In its issue Of April 18th, it
speaks OF the suit Of the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad Company as follows:
"TLerc can he no doubt in our mind
that the State willbc upheld in its action,
as it is always upheld in America as against
the individual. The railroad may, by a te-
dious process, prove the genuineness OF the
coupons, rs has been done before. But the
same process will have to be gone through
in every individual instance; and the feel
Ing in Baltimore is that the state will now
moro than ever interpose delays. The no
ton is that holders had best wait the is
sues; that they cannot be worse oil than
they are at present, and that a political
move may some day put the Democrats in
power. We must remember, however, that
during this tedious expectancy The market
for the stuff will continue to droop an(

AMELIA, April 30, 1883.
The weather has opened finely, and this
will he a field-day with the farmers. The
season is at least three weeks late. Nothing
has been done. Last night we had q frost,
but on careful examination | can see no in
Jury. The frost Of last week was much
more severe, but not attended with any
| special damage. The wheat has bad color
on account Of the frequent rains. The fly
is making some inroads on the tobacco
plants.
The labor question is one OF serious i'm
portance with our people. Some OF our
farmers have none. The best and most de-
sirable is drifting of to the cities and the
truck regions Of the State. / heard yester-
day OF o gentleman in Nottoway county
a large and successful planter-who will
break up and go 10 merchandising.1
The bulk OF the tobacco has been mar
keted in this section. The prices are mod
erately good-somc advance on last season.
Richmond gets but little Of the tobacco
raised in this section. l only know two
farmers in all this vicinity who send to
Richmond. The most Of il goes to Farm
| vile. Burkeyille, and Lodore. Richmond
] should look after her great interest.
Politics quiet with us. There is no con-
test except for the Office Of Commonwealth
attorney. MeSSrs. Wcisiger and Wood are
the competing candidates. And, by the
way, this office seems the most contested In
all the adjacent counties. Nottoway has an
animated canvass between Messrs. Morton
and Wing, Cumberland between Messrs.
Coleman and Lancaster, Powhatan between
Messrs. Dance and Flanagan.
LIN this county the candidates for Trea-
surer and Commissioner OF the Revenue
are old and faithful officers, and will get a
general vote OF the people without regard
to party.
We had an interesting day ut the Sandy
Creek Baptist church yesterday. The pas
tor, Mr. Bagby. preached two sermons that
gave great qualification. After the exer-
c:ses were over Captain q. NJ. Gills pre-
scented the church with a handsome silver
communion service. He made a few APP.
propriate remarks, and the pastor re-
spondcd with feeling and good taste.

A STEaw.-The Charleston Ners and
Courier states that the Free-Trade Repub-
licans OF the Second Kansas district have
formed areyenue-reiorm club, and adopted
q strong declaration OF principles. The
Neus and Courier terms this "a Straw
from Kansas" So it Is. The people OF the
FAR western States are going TO be Free
Tfaders for some years yet, as the people
Of the southern States were up to the time
Of the late war. Both the Republican and
Democratic parties are divided upon this
question. The minority Of the Republicans
are In favor Of no protection<which Is not
incidental, whilst the minority Of the DEM
ocyats are In favor Of 10 tariff which does
not incidentally protect American indus

A most mirth-provoking instance OF ap-

themselves with the requisite documents
entered the holy bonds all the same.
Mr.. c. p. Sncad, associated with an en-
terprising citizen Of Richmond. Is ABOUT
10 establish the tobacco-manuiacturlng bust
ness af this place. An enterprise OF this
sort in a section peculiarly adapted to the
growth of the best manufacturing grades
connot fail OF success. Indeed there are
old t~obacco-buyers in Richmond who well
remember the time when the weed grown
in his county was nowhere eXcelled for
sweetness and flavor. Why the reputation
OF the section for producing such popular
tobaccos las not been generally wei sus-
