| HOWCIIs ~
HOWELL, Oct. l-Our community
has recently been the theatre OF
the operations OF thu X. II.
detectives with their blood
hounds hunting for W. 7. Brame,
who formerly lived and In fact was
raised in this neighborhood.
A most delightful "storm party"
was held at Esq. J. Il. Coleman's on
the 26th ult. The mere mention Of
the names of the fair hostesses, Misses
May Wooten, Hattie Miller and Ruth
Cooper. Is sufficient to guarantee the
enjoyment of ali present.
A protracted meeting is In progress
ut Olivet (BaptlsD church near Gar
rettsburg, conducted by Rev. Ken
dali and others. The field is broad
and inviting one and 1t is hoped
much good may be accomplished.
Several of our city dudes have re-
ceived their new fall suits, and while
the legs seem extravagantly large
they barely admit the easy passage Of
the foot, thing which previous fash
ions have never allowed.
Miss Mary Harlow has at last re-
turned from her trip to Virginia and
all the Howell boys are glad.
The wheat market at Howell has
been very unsatisfactory this season.
So much, in fact, nearly all of 1t
being originally damp, now having
dried out is more or less musty.
Sales are slow and shipments dull.
Wheat seeding has begun In earn
'st. A large crop will be sown.
Tobacco about two-thirds cut;
luslity varies greatly. Much has
'een cut green, and a great deal is
,adly worm eaten.
Hog cholera has prevailed in this
,eig hborhood more or less since last
Ipring, and the number to be fed is
'ery much below what was at one
line anticipated.
1t Is understood that the firm Of
lloyd & Davis will dissolve partner
hip about the first Of November.
lr. Davis will continue the mercan-
lie business, but will remove his
took to Garrettsburg, while Mr..
Boyd will confine himself to farming.
These gentlemen have been success
'ull in business and will be greatly
missed at Howell.
Chills and fever have been epidem-
c this fall. Scarcely q family has
escaped visitation and in some
ases whole families have been down
It once. /
Labor has been scarcer than ever
,nown.
Prof. Quarles' school opened about
hree weeks since with fattering
PROSPECTS for full attendance, quite
number of young gentlemen being
rom distance, an evidence that the
merits of the Professor are apprecia-
cd away from as well as at homo, by
be patrons OF education.

An immigration society, which has
been recently established in Topeka
in connection with the late exodus of
negroes to Oklahoma, claims to have
received letters from Tennessee,
Georgia, Alabama, Louisiana and the
Carollnas stating that there will be
10000 negro emigrants from those
States as soon as they can gather
their crops and get ready to leave.

governing reconsideration While there
is a wide divergence of judgment on
this proposition, it cannot well he de.
MED that it is the settled policy of
this Government that such duties
shall be so levied as to result in the
protection of labor, employed in do
nestle industries, from destructive
foreign competition.
One of the fundamental objects in
the Ievying of duties on imports, de.
clared in the preamable of the first
Tariff act passed by Congress in 1889,
was the encouragement and protec.
ton of manufactures. The doctrine
thus proclaimed has broadened with
our advancing civilization and
growth, and its wisdom has been
demonstrated by the marvellous de.
velOpement of those industries, pro.
tected by the high duties, demanded
by the necessities of the Government
incident to civil war. @
