Tobacco Notes.

1t is reported in tobacco circles
that Kremelberg is in the ring; that
is, working the rabbits foot on the
tobacco trade and is to have 900
Hhd5. of the selections; we don't be
lieve word of it. Mr.. Kremelberg
wants nothing but the best wrapper,
wants all of that he can get at top
figures, and he will make the man
who gets it this year pay for it.
Fine tobacco is going to be greatly
in demand.
C. 7. Young is one of the largest
tobacco buyers in the county this
season. He will put up over 10000
hogsheads, and will sell it here on
the board. He has purchased the
picked crops and will show some
very fine tobacco.
Some people have been busy circu
lating the report that there was no
money in GAINESVILLE to pay for to-
bacco. Every farmer ought to know
that there is not word of truth in
it. Our banks have more money
than ever; moreover tobacco is
bought largely on foreign orders, and
money is sent to pay for it.

Juryman Milton Blair.

Poor Milton Blair the whole town
was in tears last night over his sad
fate and all arose this morning to
scrape the briny crystal pearls from
their cheeks, and there was enough
Of it to start brine factory. The
cruel sheriff summoned him on the
jury yesterday, and the still more
hard. hearted Judge and lawyers, all
of whom were once young married
men, took a malicious pleasure in
making him stick-not only stick,
but kiss the bible on it. "Do it or go
to jail" Milton pleaded with the
stubborn sheriff to no purpose. He
applied to the Judge fol- release, tell
ing him he could not leave his wife,
and the very announcement brought
a malicious twinkling of pleasure to
Judge Munford's eye. Fount Daniel
well, if he ever does marry, then
with dry, hard grin that wrinkled
MS mouth from one ear TO the other,
clipped up and administered the ju-
ror's oath and demanded that he
should kiss the bible. That Milt.
positively refused to do, denouncing
the thing rs mean joke the court
was trying to play on him, which it
was, nor would he until the judge
with scowl on his face, told him
he had it to do. So it was that Mil
ton was cruelty treated and kept out
last night with the jury, and we
would not blame him if he would
convict the prisoner, the court and
bar and sentence them all to the pen.
The boys will be around, Milt, to
shake hands with you for the gallant
fight you made, though you were
overpowered by superior numbers.

EUREKA MINsTRELs.
A Well Pleased Audience Witne SIS Home
Talent at the Opera House.

The performance given at Elders
Opera House last night by the Eure-
ka Minstrels was above the average
entertainments given by amateur
talent. The music would have done
credit to a professional troupe, while
the jok es and puns were enjoyed by
the audience. The bone artists were
Lee Rosenfeld, Chas. KincannOn
and Frank Michel, while G. A. Lind
say, Herbert Beatty and Walter
Jackson manipulated the tamborines
like professionals. &. A. Lindsay
and Lee ROsenfield held down the
end seats and a. p. Wright acted as
intcrlocutor. The vocal music was
good, especially the selections rem
dered by VIM. Williams and w. B.
Thacker. The stump speech of II.
Beatty was one of the hits of the
evening, and Lee Rosenfield sue
ceeded in bringing down the house
in his female impersonation. While
there were some parts of the pro-
gram that fell pretty fiat with the
up the whole the perfor-
nance did the boys credit. 1t was
to all present that by the
proper training Clarksvitle could
soon have a minstrel troupe that
would do to star on the road.
Considering the bad night, the au
dience was as largea as could be eXpec
ted and it gave the boys respectful
hearing.

A Daring Burglar.


About 10 O'Clock last night John
Gholson, who sleeps at Coulter &
Ledbetter's lumber establishment on
Commerce street, heard footsteps on
the tin roof of the house. He slipped
out of the Office and notified Chas.
Collier, night policeman, who ar
rived on the scene in time to see
man making his way from the rear Of
the house, though too late to catch
him or to have an idea of his identi-
ty. 1t is the belief that the fellow,
whoever he was, wanted to steal
some of the carpenters tools that are
in the shop on the second floor.

THAT Dam Frenohman, Mr.. Reggie. ,

Two drummers passed down the
road yesterday talking tobacco" for
Nashville as advised 10y their Uncle
Nat. There happened to be a Clarks-
vile man in the company addressed
when the Nashville representative
rose to remark "Well, Clarksville is
catching it in the neck this year,
amt she, That dam Frenchman, Mr..
Reggie, isjust buying all of the.tohac-

in the remark Mr.. Reggie is exer-
cising his heavy:artillery. Nashville

The Apnortionment Bill.

We have before us the excellent
speech of our representative, Joseph
E. Washington, on the Apportion-
ment bill. Mr.. Washington is
member of the Census committee
and makes strong speech in favor
of the bill. He says: 1.-THE com
mittee selected the number 1856 be-
cause it is the smallest number we
could find under which no state
would lose representative There
seemed to be very general opinion
among the members of the House
and throughout the country, Judging
by the tone of the press, which not
only molds, but voices the sentiments
of.the people, that no State should
suffer n reduction of its present rep
resentation,
"Under this bill twenty-five out of
forty-four States will receive the
same number of Representatives
which they now have. Thirteen
States will be entitled to one addi-
tional member each, to wit: Ala
bama, Arkansas, California, Colora-

Michigan, Missouri, New Jersey,
