rhe pest Materlal for conn.

People are generally preiudiced
against poplar for collins, fence pests
or any other use under ground, be-
lieving that it is not a durable tim
Der.
John Sayers, colored man who
has been employed about Greenwood
cemetery in one way or another
since it was established, in opening a
grave the other day took up
a yellow poplar peg which
he had driven in the ground
himself seventeen years ago while
engaged with the surveyors in laying
out the cemetery lots. The peg is
about one and one-fourth inches
square; that portion left aboye
ground had rotted off, and that under
ground remains sound to the very
point, which had been sharpened
with an axe for driving in the
ground; the wood being half and
half sap and heart. Sayers relates
another instance that proves the
value of yellow poplar I'M
der ground, In removing the
remains of two persons Euried
side by side, one was in a poplar
coffin that had been under ground
"A years and the coffin was found to
be still sound, while the walnut
coffin of the other, buried two years
later, was decayed and entirely gone,
The instances indicate that yellow
poplar is the best material, as well as
the cheapest, that can be used foI
collins and burial cases.
Poplar smoothly dressed and
painted, or covered with nice black
cloth, with metallic ornaments makes
a handsome, cheap and durable
burial case.

70 INVESTORS.

We desire to call your attention TO
a business for which GAINESVILLE pos
.sesses peculiar advantages, enjoyed
by no other town in the U. S. that is,
SNUFF MAKING.
Six factories draw almost the whole
of their supplies from our tobacco
market, three Of which are among
the largest in the United States.
The consumptive markets for snuff
are mainly south, west and south
east of US, us giving the following
freight advantages over Pennsylva
MIA and New York factories:
"A factory OF 900 hhds. capacity
per annum in those States, would
pay freight north on crude material
of $4,000. On The manufactured
article, over our rates to those mar
kets, of ST., 900, total of freight
rates in our favor Of $4,000 per an
mum. Snuff makers realized fair
profits on cost of stock of Sc. per ID /;
for three years their stock has been
laid here at an average cost of A., to
4lc. per b., netting them in round
figures 100000 per annum, i'm adj
ditiOn to their regular profits. The
snuff factory proposed, to have COM
plete success from the start, should
have a cash capital of not less than
100000. A well managed snuff
factory here should pay An average
annual dividend of 40 per cent. TO 60
per cent.
The vicious class legislation OF
Congress against the Southern peo-
pie, makes it the patriotic duty OF
every Southern man who has a few
dollars to spare, to put them into
some manufacture, in competition
against Republican manufactures
North. We for our part, are ready
and willing to do our share.
To test your feelings upon the sub
iect, we will, at 10 O'clock a. III. Aug.
18th next, open at the Farmers and
Merchants National Bank books
for subscription, upon which you
can write your names, and the num-
Der Of shares sou desire to own.
You have a week to think over the
matter. Respectfully yours,

DUST TO DUST.
Funeral Service of R. H. Walker.

The funeral services of r. II.
Walker at the New Providence
Methodist church yesterday after
noon were largely attended, the
house crowded to overlooking with
sorrowing friends. The tobacco
board attended in a body, exhibiting
the high esteem entertained collec-
lively and individually for the de-
ceased. Among the floral designs
the most beautiful and costly OF all
was the gates ajar, contributed by
the board of trade. The base of the
design was composed Of magnolia
leaves, and on the beautiful arch
spanning the gates rested a white
dove with outstretched wings.
Rev. Mr.. Travis preached short
but most appropriate discourse from
John II, 3rd verse, "And this is life
eternal, that they might know Thee;
the only true God, and Jesus Christ,
whom thou hast sent" Through the
speakers emotional nature was over,
come by the deep sorrow he felt in
parting with a friend and brother
with whom he had been so intimate
ly associated in his church work, he
spoke with a force of tender, simple
eloquence that touched every heart.
He referred to the deceased as lone
of our truest fellows" who possessed
this eternal life. Historically no
man can know God in the
sense referred to in the text.
But there is a sense in which
one can know God through the heir
ship with Jesus Christ-being born
again, born of God. The life and
character of II. II. Walker, his inter
course with his fellow men his devo-
ton to every principle he protested,
MS faithfulness to his duties as a
steward of the church, his integrity
VI NIuldCLNl anu lilSh SElioC VI HOtlOA {,
and his scrupulous honesty gave evil
dences that ne had entered into this
heirship AMI true knowledge of God,
and there could be no doubt that the
living spirit was not only welcomed,
but was hidden to enter into that rest
which this knowledge of God brings.
Conscious of the approaching disso-
luton, he expressed himself as
ready "my trust is always in God"
One thing could be said of him that
could not be said of all men: he was
never heard to boast of having
gained an advantage over his fellow
man.
Speaking of his official service and
usefulness to the church, in connec-
ton with Mr.. Whitfield, the pastor
did not know who would take his
place.
The remarks addressed to the
members of the board of trade were
pointed and touching, rs also were
those addressed to the family.
The music on the occasion was i'm
Dressively sweet. AT the close of the
service the remains were followed to
Greenwood cemetery by very large
procession of friends.

4 WAREHOUSE SYNDICATE.
1t Strikes GAINESVILLE and Hop
kinsville for Options.
Big Move on Foot to Organize All the
Tobacco Warehouses in One Great
Combination.

Readers Of the LEAF-CIIRoNICLE
are familiar with the efforts that
have been made by gigantic syndi-
cate to get possession of the ware
houses of Louisville and Cincinnati
and conduct them under one man
agement. We have it from a reliable
source that similar effort is being
made in this city and perhaps Hop
kinsville. A gentlemen was here
this week and interview the leading
warehouses with View to inaugera-
ting such a movement here. We
understand that through Hunter
Wood as attorney for syndicate of
capitalists, six months optiO.s on the
warehouse property and business OF
the city is sought. No considera
tons, however,are offered for this OPP
ton, only the condition that all the
warehouses, or the larger ones, so
into the syndicate. This will doubt
less prove the great stumbling block
in the way of the combination, for
while the warehouse property OF the
city and the services of the ware
housemen can be had by paying suf
liciently we'll for them, warehouse
men who have spent large sums of
money TO build up their business will
not give options on such property
and suffer a consequent disarrange-
ment Of their business, without
some compensation in return, and
we understand that the agent who
visited GAINESVILLE did not meet
with much encouragement.
1t is argued that there is a great
deal of surplus capital in the East
that commands not exceeding three
per cent. interest that would like a
safe business investment which
would pay six or seven per cent, and
even if capitalists made no other
profit than this higher rate of in
terest, il would be very satisfactory !;
but the chances are for q much great
or profit 1t is also argued that the
combination would be IA good and
safe thing for the warehousemen, and
prove blessing to farmers, inasmuch
rs it would be able toadvance money
on tobacco at lower rate of interest,
and lower the rate of Warehouse
charges, while forming q cOmbina-
ton that would be able to withstand
the pressure from the Reggie syndicate
and hold the price of tobacco up.
There is no doubt that it would
cheaper money, weaken the banks
and lower the warehouse charges,
but we are unable to see anything
behind it that would advance the
price OF tobacco and benefit the
farmer in the end. 1t is not in the
nature of syndicates to advance
prices on produce, except in selling
Tor their own benefit. 1t occurs ii
would be to the interest of such Il
syndicate to depress prices in farmers
hands. 1t would not be to the inter
Of Il syndicate to advance the full
value of the crop on tobacco as ware
houses now do, and then work the
market up to save itself. COmpeti-
ton is the only thing that can or will
make strong tob ,cco market, aud
but for the speculation and COMPETE
ton induced by the warehouse II an
agement, tobacco would be from one
to two dollars per hundred lower
than it is, and "A lower rate of interest
with reduced warehouse charges,
would hardly compensate farmers or
dealers for such n loss.
