FIRST BALE OF RAMIE.
The Industry that will R~evolutionize
Southern Trade.

The Industry that will Revolutionize
Southern Trade.
There was exhibited on the Cotton Ex-
change yesterday the first bale of thor
oughly degummed and prepared ramie
ever made in this country. In its de
gummed state when it is ready for spin
ming, ramie looks a great deal like cotton,
and it is intended that it shall be put to a
great many of the uses to which cotton
is now devoted. It will also serve as q
good substitute for silk. The ramie ex-
hibited was prepared by the Ramie Spin
ming and Manufacturing Company by a
method which was purchased some time
ago from Jules Ferry, the French states
man. The ramie stalks will grow peren-
nially in the cotton belt, and they have
been extensively planted there. 1t is ex-
pected that it will become one of the
staples, Of the South. The seed for plant
ing was obtained by the government from
China some years ago.-N 2. Times.
There are two bales of ramie in New
Orleans from Oakbourne plantation, with
much more to come. The bleaching and
degumming can be performed to perfec-
ton by processes discovered here, as tests
have simply proved. The ramie business
is now being organized on an extensive,
permanent and economical basis.-New
Orleans Item.
A special to the Item says two bales of
ramie fbre-l,OOO pounds-were shipped
from Oakburne plantation, in Lafayette,
by Gen. Sewell to J. M. Parker & Co.,
New Orleans. 1t is the first product of
the decorticator, now in operation at
Oakburne. This item is an important
one, as it notes the Inauguration of a in
dustry in Louisiana which m ustinevitably
mark a new era in the prosperity of the
State and the establishment of a new en-
enterprise. Mark the date with white
letters. Shreveport Times, Nov. %, 1889.

The best medical writer's claim that
the successful remedy for nasal catarrh
must be non-irritating, easy of appli-
cation, and one that will reach all the
remote sores and liberated surfaces.
The history of the efforts to treat ca
tarrh during the past obliges us to ad-
NIT that only one remedy has met
these conditions, and that is Ely's
Cream Balm. This pleasant remedy
has mastered catarrh as nothing else
has ever done, and both physicians and
patients freely concede this fact. The
more distressing symptoms yield to 1t.
