the present. "We wilhct only lose our
houses, he said, but much of our stock
unless the rain holds back. The
loss of the tobacco will not
be great If we have time to move it. but the
loss by the suspension Of business will be
considerable We are now engaged in
moving hogsheads of tobacco. OF course
we cannot get a cent of insurance. l could
not approximate our loss.n
