Oil Continues TO Move Up, With Good
Trading All Round.

Trading All Round.
% The bulls felt as if they had been feasting on
clover when the oil market opened yesterday.
The bears were also on hand, and repeated
their tactics of the day before. They started
in to buy, and before they got through the
price was run up to 104A.
The market opened at 1885. The highest was
10454, the lowest 1895 and the closing 1885
The bullish influences were further advance
in refined, and statistics showing demand to be
outstripping production at a rate which nothing
but the development of territory as big as a
State can offset. The few wells recently brought
in are no more than drop in the bucket.
Pittsburg was a buyer. Oil City and New
York sold, the latter quite freely during the
squirt in the afternoon. This broke the back
bone of the market, which closed weak.
Wedn esday's clearings, Isl, 900 barrels, were
the largest for several months. Yesterdays
business was somewhat less. Very little was
done in cash oil.

The Farmers Southern Supply
House of New York and New Or
leans have had in our county their
representative for the last three
weeks, The cassimers and ladies
cloths offered for sale by this firm
are undOu btedly the best ever sold
here. This house deals directly
with the consumers, thus saving
the middIe-man;s profit. This is a
very good plan and one we'll wor~
thy of our farmers consideration.
Buying their gools directly from
the manufacturers IN large quanti-
ties, they are a bile to sell at a price
far below what is usually paid tor
such goods. They have now in this
state twenty-One men, all doing a
good business. This is the first
time they have tried to get the
trade of this county and are so sue
cessful that they regret that they
did not come here before. The
most RESPONSE bile farmers are the
largest buyers from them, and in
deed il is a good recommend alton
for them that they only try to get
the trade of the most intelligent
people of the county, confident that
others will follow after they see that
their neighbors are we'll pleased
with their purchases. This firm is
well known all over Louisiana, Ar
kansas and Mississippi, where they
have been doing business for years,
and now that their business is in~
creasing, they have sent men In
this state and we are sure the farm
ers will appreciate and take advan-
tage of the opportunity to buy these
goods from this house and save the
middle-man's profit. The farmers
of this county must not for one
moment compare the gentlemen
epresenLing this house and those
irresponsible parties travelling along
the roads, who are here to-day and
gone t0-mCrrOw, for the statesmen
who represent this house are in ev-
cry way held responsible for the
treatment of their customers. The
object OF this house is to please all,
and those who once become dealers
are glad to have the opportunity to
continue 81; and as the seasons come
and go the farmers of Tennessee, lie
their neighbors in adjoining states,
will learn to appreciate the arrival
of the represe natives of the Farm~
ers' Southern Supply House. t

Giles, writes April 18th, 1889; Some
FIVE years ago wrote letter sta
tin z that SRift's Specific had cured
me of severe rheumatism. Since
that time l have had no return of
the rheumatic troubles, although
frequently exposed to the influences
that produced former attacks, Sew
eral of my friends had a similar ex-
perience, and are firm in their con-
victiOn that S. s. S. brought a per-
manent cure. The searching pow
er of this medicine is shown in the
fact that it developed a scrofulous
faint that was conspicuous In my
blood over thirty years ago, and has
removed the last trace of it. 1
have also tested s. S. S. as a tonic
after a severe attack of malarial fe-
yer, which kept me in bed for three
months, and am con WINGED that its
curative and strenthening proper
ties insured my recovery from that
illness, as 1 was IN a very low con
