Guager j. G. Fowler says that since
the passage of the Oleomargerine bill,
it has stopped the manufacture Of
that article almost entierly. All
over the United States the manufBc>
tIrers declare that they can not afford
to make it and pay the tax; besides,
it does not sell well.
There has been sharp advance
in the prices of iron In the
Chattanooga district, and iron men
are much encouraged over the out

not an iron industry in that section
but what is in full operation.

sized marble and pure white. Mr..
Lance says one vine will produce an
arm fnll, and that they will string and
snap equal to the smaller beans.
He has the seed been for sale.
Dover Courier: Th1 frost has dam
aged the tobacco crop in this county
at least 40 per cent, and the same

This will cause great trouble and hard
ship to our people. a large number
lost their entire crop, while others,
more fortunately, saved all. The
market is already overstocked with
low grades, and nothing bnt the best
leaf will command decent prices. 1t
is very unfortunate.
