The New York Tobacco leaf says:
ssTo reduce the volume Of what is
commercially known as Western leaf
tehacco-sonie of the old stocks OF
which are slow of sale and said to be
drag-weights in the markets OF the
world-it has been for some time
urged that it would be well to abstain
from planting tobacco in the Western
sections in 1889. Those who have
commended this policy have, Of
course, never for moment supposed
it possible to induce all the tobacco
planters to refrain from planting for
even so short time as single sea-
son, but they have hoped, and still
hope, that the low prices now pre-
vailing, when paying prices ought
to PREVAIL will prompt some OF them
to lessen their acreage in the coming
year in order to secure better returns
for their crops still awaiting the me-
cessities and moods of buyers.
A glance at the statistics of visable
supplies will show that the markets
at home and abroad are weary and
heavy laden" and that prices for
planter or dealer are not where they
ought to be. Why not, then, for the
sake of improving the situation, hold
up a bit next summer, even If not
holding off altogether =? Less work
and larger profits are sure to follow
The proceedings of the recent
GAINESVILLE, Tenn, convention were
in the right direction on this question
and with them and the general senti'
ment of growers and dealers in mind
one wonders how the occasional oppo'
sing views that are seen in print are
expected to be approved. We say t.
growers, plant less in 1889 than yot
did in 1888; SO will your gains be in
creased, your toll, anxiety and risk
decreased.

New A. M. e. Zion Church.

The new A. NJ. L. Zion church is
rapidly nearing completion. The
wood contract WAS let out to Mr.. Geo.
Yates, who is doing a substantial job.
The pastor, Rev. II. w. smith, has
built this church largely with his
own efforts, running private school
and giving the profits to the church
The pastor now asks those who are
charitably inclined to contribute
what they can, so that the church
can be finished at once.

THERE was once a popular adage
that competition is the life oftrade,'
but il has long since fallen in this
country into innocuous dcsuetude.
The great aim in all lines of business
nowadays is to get rid of competition
so as TO double the price to the con-
oumnr. Witness the coal-miner
shutting down because coal Is too
cbeap. and witness The copper-mineS
closing so as to keep up the French
corner. The Trusts are flourshing
but the consumer is sick.

marry the daughter OF the Compile de
Paris. The Compile de Paris is the
representative ofthe Orleans dynasty,
and stranger things have happened
than that he may yet become king of
France. Is not this proposed alliance,
in view of the present topsy-turvey
condition of the French republic
slightly significant?

Marion Harland's Opinion Of Baking
Powders.

Marion Harland's Opinion Of Baking
Powders.
Our readers have doubtless noticed
the numerous discussions by the scien-
lists and hygienists as to the relative
value of the various baking powders. A
careful sitting of the evidence leaves no
doubt of the superiority of the ROYAL
Baking Powder in purity, wholesome
ness and strength, from a scientific
standpoint. An opinion, however, that
will weigh heavier than any other with
our practical house keepers, Is that Civ
en- by Marion Harland, the best known
and most popular of American writers
upon matters pertaining to the science
of domestic economy, of housekeeping,
and home cooking. In a recent letter
to the Philadelphia Ladies Home Journal,
this writer says:
az regard the Royal Baking Powder
as the best manufactured and in the
market, so far as / have any experience
in the use of such compounds. Since
the introduction Of it into my kitchen,
three years ago, have used no other in
making cakes, biscuits, ETC., and have
entirely discarded for such purposes the
homemade combination OF one-tbird
soda. two-thirds cream OF tartar.

REPUBLICANS RATIFY.
An Enthusiastic Meeting and Plenty
Of Oratory and Music.

The Republican ratification meetin,
Monday night was successful affair. A
promptly S:15 O'Clock the Germani.
band appeared on the scene and In {
few moments the street between the
House was we'll filed, the crowC
extending out as far as the street cal
track. There was plenty of enthusiasm
and plenty of good feeling and an air o.
confidence. The affair had been gotten
up merely on the spur Of the moment
but everything passed off much better
than the most sanguine had expected.
DIR. VIM. Jacoby acted as master OF
ceremonies and opened the speech.
making with an eloquent three-minute
address in which he announced the
nomination of Morton for vice presi-
dent, a dispatch having just been re-
ceived TO that effect, and predicted that
the ticket would sweep the country in
the fall. This was received with APP
plause.
Hon. Ira P. Shissler was then intro
duced and was greeted with applause as
he climbed upon the box that served as
speakers stand. He strongly eulogized
the candidates on the Republican ticket
and reference to their pure character
was applauded. After reviewing their
lives and paying an especial tribute to
Harrison, he proceeded to rip open
Cleveland's record during the past four
years and uncovered his sham reforms
and broken promises. Mr.. Shlssler was
frequently applauded.
Three rousing cheers and tiger were
then accorded the nominees.
Mr.. Geo. L. Barr took the stand and
spoke few words In behalf of the
Hoosier candidate and urged his hear
ers to vote for the "Grandson of nppe-
canoe, and for Morton too"
Calls were made for DIR. Harrington
and Capt. Andrews, but they did not
put IN an appearance.
Somebody with minimum of sense
and self respect proposed three cheers
for Cleveland which brought out a few
sicklv responses. Somebody was heard
to sound a rebel veil. All of this dem
onstratIon was frowned down by the
better class of Democrats present.
County Attorney Smith was the next
speaker and reviewed the lives of the
men the Republicans had nominated
and predicted success for the ticket. He
was received with applause He pro-
posed three cheers for the ticket, which
were given with will.
Mr.. w. L. Young followed in the same
strain and was frequently applauded.
The Germania band played between
each speech and dispensed some fine
music.
None of the speakers had had previ-
,us notice but acquitted themselves
with the utmost credit. A feeling of
confidence pervaded the meeting and
Ill went away with the firm conviction |
hat Harrison aud Morton would sweep |
he country in the fall.

the ARREST and most pleasant business
places To be found in the city. The en-
tire Office has been papered, and the
latest designs in ceiling decorations add
a cheerful air to the various rooms. Mr..
Drake and his assistants are of course
feeling greatly elated, but all the style
hasn't yet, nor is il likely to prevent
them from serving their many patrons
with promptness and courtesy.
The work of driving piles upon
which to rest the foundation of the new
hotel was begun this morning. \ steam
pile driver is used, but the work is nee
essarily very slow as the ground is quite
firm. A large crowd watched the Oper-

is now perfectly level and there was
dirt enough removed to grade the side
alleys nearly up to grade, reducing the
expense TO the city greatly.

John Houk, farmer living about
four miles from this city, died Saturday
afternoon at the advanced age of eighty.

had sent bis grand children to procure
some warm wafer for him to shave
with and while they were thus engaged
he went up stairs. They heard some.
thing fall but paid no attention to it. A
married daughter afterwards came III
and carried his supper mp TO him and
found him lying dead. The funeral will
