Of titles, and rendered juno 10, 1888, by
Judge Robinson, in handing down the case Of Levi
against Rothschid. II virtually makes all the prop
erty held by = married woman, matter how &C
Qulred, responsible for the debts Of the husband The
court laid down general principle applicable to ono
third the real estate 10 the state and threw such
doubt upon the legality Of certain titles as to seriously
sgate tho real estate market. Tho sentence referred
TO follows:
1t hardly 30 necessary say where conveyance
Is made married woman the burden OF proof is the
wife show that the property was purchased and paid
for out OF tho money belonging TO her. and that in the
absence Of such proof the presumption that the HUSBAND

aud wishing TO mortgage or sell It must furnish proof
that 1. was not purchased with money furnished by
her husband It Is said that applications for

properties are great, and = rich, precious oil IS in
every kernel The consumption Of peanuts is $780,
600 bushels season. and the highest production IS
but 100000 bushels more. All those peanuts arc
raised in Virginia. North Carolina aud Tennessee. but
the Tennessee production Is comparatively small
During the peanut harvest the people, he pickaninnes
the dogs, pigs and nearly everything that eats get
fat in tho land Of the peanut. Peanuts are planted
at corn planting time each kernel produces running
vine like crab grass and each root develops about
twenty pods. When ripe the plough Is run through
the loamy soil on dry day Just before frost The
nuts arc dried and shocked up like corn, to Keep dry
before housing When marketed they go TO cleaner,
where they are put through steam power machines
and polished, after which they graded according
to size and variety. This year there is only two
thirds Of q crop, and they arc higher in price than
since 1884. Tho crops begin to como into market
about the first Of September The Virginia nut is
largest and finest The Wilmington Is smaller sort,
