DANvILLE, VA. June 22.-Our breaks
have been quite Ugh. all the week,
sales getting around by noon generally.
Though we have had good weather for
handling leaf, the planters have. no
doubt, been TOO busy with their wheat
and other crops that needed immediate
attention. 10 market much tobacco. In
quality, we have had no improvement
whatever. In fact. if anything, the
quality has been unusually poor. We
have had not little Of such horribly
mean frOsiered stuff, that even a bld
could not be gotten on it. Why the
planters will continue to bring this
stuff to- market. we cannot see. In
many instances we know Of the prices
gotten for this stuff have not been
sufficient to pay even the charges for
hauling TO market. 1t appears TO us
that lhe market has been just little
dull this week, but do not think that
any grade Of good tobacco has been
neglected Anything desirable is eager
ly sought after, and readily taken at good
prices. Our home manufacturers on
the breaks every day and buying freely
of good filters and such wrappers as they
can get TO suit them. There have been
no wrappers. to speak ofon the market
this week We have few packages
Of good old wrappers every wsek in the
breaks, but they are few and far be-
tween. Prices are steady and without
any change. Altogether, the market
has been a very uninteresting one this
week. We may look for larger receipts
FOR next week, with favorable weather.

NEW YORK. June 2l.-Trust stocks
were the leaders of our market to
o'clock to-day. and Chicago gas. sugar,
lead and pipe line certificates doomed.
New England was strong, but the rest
Of the list was 4 tritle heavy to o clock
and quite weak from to- clock. The
news was generally favorable, except
from the West. where the delay in ad-
iusting differences continues. There
tx no decentralization of rates except be-
tween Chicago and St Paul, but the re-
lations are strained. and the presidents
DO not meet until July 9th. Reports on
lie iron and coal trades are favorable
and general business, as reflected by
the cleariugs and railroad earnings IS
very good. The speculation IN the trust
stocks is very pronounced, aud INDUS
trial stocks are expected TO become
quite prominent. A c0nserValively
bullish attitude on the market seems TO
be warranted and intensely bulllsh sem
timents would prevail ii the Western
core spot was healed. Any hardening
i'm the rates for money would doubtless
be followed by literal bond tenders and

The orchestra will play so nicely,

And the ladie will like "Helter

Well have several songs, you

And we'll dance to the "SunAower

Prepare to Enjoy NOUfseK.

On the evening of the Goth.
inst, under the auspices of the La

rian church, will be given at the
opera house one of the most inter-

musical talent of Southwestern
Georgia has been engaged for the
occasion. Messrs. Goode and jus
liam Price, whose voices have so Of
ten charmed a critical Macon au-
dience, will be present to add new
faurels to the many already won.
Miss Florence Powell, of Cuthbert,
a graduate of the mort noted mus
iG college of the South, will render
several excellent violin solos, while
Mrs. Ed Mcdonald, a nightingale
in song, will charm all present.
III addition there will be recita>
tions by several of the young la
dies of this and neighboring towns,
and quartettes, trios and solos by
some of the best male and female
talent Of our own city, the even>

appreciation of the effort being
made to give our people so rich a
treat, AMI in courtesy to our visit

An i1fdeI's BurIdL

Gus M.Setzer dieda few days ago
Mt China Grove, n. G. He was a
pronounced infdel, believing in
neither God nor a future OF any
kind. Two weeks before his death,
knowing his denlise to be eminent,
he went to tree near the yard
and t'uder it marked a place for
his grave, giving instructions as to
how it should be dug and his mode
of burial. He wanted a layer of
cedar brush at the bottom of his
grave, to he filed up with dirt.
He said that when decomposition
set in the sap of the tree would
draw him up the limbs, and he
could perch on the top of the tree
and view the surrounding scenery
for years to come. Setter was per-
fectly rational to the last. He was
visited during his wasting illness
