LYNcHBURo, Sept. Is, 1886.
There has been decrease Of sales Of
tobacco for the past week Of log, 800
pounds as compared with the preceding
week. The amount sold was AGA, 700
pounds, and if the decrease had been
greater there would have been no fault.
finding on the part Of buyers. The
quality continues Of the most inferior
character, and the ruling prices have
correspondingly declined. There is so
little good shipping offered as to amount
to nothing.
The planters all agree that the in
coming crop will be an improvement
in quality on the present, and it will be
a large one, too. The latter fact is sig
nificant of but little improvement, as it
is generally believed here that the most
potent cause of the inferiority Of the to-
bacco offered in this market for some
time past has been the large quantity
cultivated, but " we shall soon see what
we shall see."
Revenue receipts for the past week
footed up $l0, 622.22.
The manufacture Of cigarettes in this
city is increasing to a very appreciable
extent, and the great and perhaps only
redeemiDg feature Of the cigarette is the
employ ment it gives to worthy and in
dustrious girls, who thereby earn an
honest penny. Noticing an advertise
ment in one Of the morning papers for
large number of girls by one of these
establishments, your correspondent
paid the house q brief visit, and found
more than l60 neatly-dressed girls,
ranging in years from twelve to nine
teen, industriously at work, whose
wages are from 60 cents per
day to so, and $40 per week.
Seventy or eighty of them work ex-
clusively on " mouth pieces an article
that has recently become an almost in
dispensable adjunct to the use of the
cigarette. They work on the ten-hour
principle, but are all making overtime
by working until 10 p. NJ. This is
really the only branch Of mauufactur-
ing industry in this city that employs
white girls exclusively, and the citizens
generally are already quite elated at
the appearance Of these worthy aud in
dustrious girls as they 90 to and fro on
the way to their daily lsbors it al
most reconciles them to the supposed
disastrous effect Of cigarettes on the
many boys who smoke them.
A meeting the citizens has been
called by President Blackford, of the
Agricultural Society, for the furtherance
Of the centennial observance, which it is
proposed to have during the session OF
the coming Fair. The meeting will be
held at the Opera-IIouse tomorrow
night. The celebration Of the centen-
NAL year Of the existence Of Lynchburg
and the exhibition of our Agricultural
Society are two different affairs. Yet,
coming at the same time, they will neces-
sarily be to greater or less extent inter-
mingled. The purpose of this meeting is
to ascertain exactly what the citizens
outside of the Agricultural Society pro-
pose to do, and the fate Of the centen-
NAL movement will doubtless be def
nitely determined by the meeting in
question. REX.

CHALLENGED TO FIGHTA DUEL.
Two American Artists Who are Said
10 Have Loved One Pretty
PnEfstuu.

Partisan.
The Brooklyn Standard is authority
for the following story John r. Strick-
Ter, Brooklyn artist, when he was in
Paris recently, had a young Bostonian
named Palmer, also an artist, as a
chum. A very attractive little French
lady was studying flower-painting in
studio not far from the studio Of Ca.
rious-Duran, and in going and coming
from her classes she frequently met
both Stricken and his friend Palmer.
Mr.. Strickler made her acquaintance
through a mutual friend, and finding
her thoroughly in earnest in her art,
sought to give her every assistance in
his power. Friendship gradually
ripened into a more tender form Of
attachment, and it came about that the
bright little French lady won the young
Americans heart. Having interests in
common, they visited the galleries to-
gether, and Mr.. Strickler, from a con-
firmed bachelor, was likely to become
a married man. He said nothing to his
chum Of his attachment for the young
lady, and their frequent meetings were
kept secret from every one Of their
acquaintances.
Mr.. Stricken had to come to America,
but he promised to write frequently
until be could return to Paris and make
her his bride. lie did write frequently
at first, but after four months letters
passed to and fro at longer and longer
intervals, and finally they ceased alto
gether. In the mean time Mr.. Palmer
had made the acquaintance Of the fair
fower-psinter, but she tod him her
heart had gone beyond the seas with
MIR. Strickler. Mr.. Palmer was deeply
in earnest, however, and did not
propose to give up the prize
without a struggle. lie redoubled
bis attentions to the young lady, and
tried to convince her that Mr.. Strickler
would soon forget his Irritation in Paris
now that he was back in America.
Unfortunately Mr.. Palmer also had to
sail for home about three weeks ago,
and, filled with an unreasonable jeal-
ousy, be swore to demand satisfaction
from his former chum as soon as he ar
rived.
Yesterday Mr.. Strickler was aston
ished by receiving challenge from his
former friend, who is now back in his
Boston home. The missiye ran as fol-
lows:
BosToN, September IL, 1886.
I" To John X. Strickler:
81, Thomas L. Palmer, hereby cdal-
lepgc you to fght me with weapons of
your own choice, within a week, at or
near this city or New York. You can
not mistake the cause. My second is
Mr.. Henry G.. Post, who can be reached
at the Windsor Hotel, in this city.
Respectfully yours,
"THOMAs l.. PALMER"
Mr.. Strickler is a good swordsman,
and he is not man to back down when
q quarrel is forced upon him. If his
former friend persists in pushing the
affair to an issue it may turn out to be
anything but a joke. Both artists are
well known among their brethren in
Brooklyn, New York, and Boston.

There is to DO at Raleigh, N. c., in
October, q novel and most promising
exhibition. A thousand northern born
citizens of that State have determined
upon an exhibit of the resources Of the
State as q stimulus to immigration.
They will themselves be, perhaps, the
most solid argument. The State Fair
will be in progress at the time of the
Convention, and the agriculture and
manufactures and minerals of the State
will be well represented. This is agood
idea. The contributions will all be
from the State. The northern immi.
grants will be On hand to answer all
questions; the interviewer will have the
advantage Of learning the best side of
the case, and will not be shrewd il he
does not find out the qualifications,
limitations, and disadvantages. 1t is
certainly more satisfactory way OF
ascertaining the attractiveness or other
wise Of State than through the mere
advertising agency, and in North Caro-
lima there cannot be any objection to
the climate. II has its variety Of soil,

AS to tobacco there never were so
many conflicting reports. Some say
ihat the crop is poor others assert
that it is remarkably excellent, but in-
formation to that effect is withheld.
Some say the proportion of brights is
small others say that cures are very
successful and the proportion Of brights
large. Perhaps it may be stated, after
striking balance, that it is good ave.

round shouldered under the weight of the

to-day to bring a charge of perjury against Mr.

deavor TO have Moen arrested on that charge
Meanwhile the effort To secnre a new trial is to
