mary was unusually interesting, con-
sisting, as it did, of selections from
his Christmas poems. There were
also some miscellaneous recitations
on the same subject, which were
highly applauded. The Christmas
chants aud carols by the school were
especially fine. AT the close of these
exercises the audience was invited
into the studio to inspect the marked
progress of the art class, which is
constantly growing in interest. We
were much gratified to hear one OF
our appreciative patrons says: "Mrs.
Buford, if you had searched the
country over you could not have Sc
cured a more cultivated, refined,
successful faculty"
So far the attendance of the school
has been full and regular, though we
cannot hope to escape altogether the
financial troubles in the country.
There has been some sickness among
the day pupils, but the health of the
boarding family has been almost
perfect, consequent upon regular hab
its, wholesome diet and plenty of
rest and recreation. We are very
happy now because of the many
handsome gifts received from pupils
and patrons during the Christmas,
and take this opportunity to thank
all for the generous remembrances

Why Nashville Could Not Maintain a
Tobacco Market.

"Warehousemen" writing in tho
American wants competition in hi,
business, and wants it bad. "Ware
housemen," "Buyor" and the gOoC
American are making desperate ap
peals to "warehousemen from Other
markets" in the dark growing sec
ton, to locate in Nashville. Clarks
vile has a large force of experienced
warehousemen, but hardly any tC
spare for Nashville just now. Ware
houseman goes on to tell his readers
"that some eight or ten years age
Nashville had five or six warehouses
all doing a good business, and while
depending to a large extent on the
Upper Cumberland for shipr ents
reached out into new territory, Sc,
cured good shipments, pleased theil
customers and made money"
The strange part of this narrative i,
that these warehouses did not con,
tue in the business OF making money
and pleasing customers. Why has
the number been reduced to one OF
two and very small business ? The
conclusion just ut this point is, that
Nashville is no market for Kentucky
and West Tennessee tobacco. But
the writer comes to the point of eX-
planning the whole matter, and shows
why Nashville is the best dark
tobacco market in the world He
says: "The tobacco in the dark belt
has for some years teen largely
controlled by spectators and other
means to which our conservative bus
mess men would not resort
That is just the truth of the whole
matter. Speculation is what makes
markets. Farmers understand that
proposition and will not carry their
produce to market where there is
no speculation, if they can find any
other. Speculation makes high
prices, and that is what the planter
wants, and he is the most industrious
man to be found in working up that
kind of competition. Speculation
may send buyer to the wall occa-
sionally; it may break a bank or
warehouse carrying an excessive bus
mess in the midst of a money panic,
but the farmer gets his money when
he delivers his crop, and the specula-
tors misfortune is not SO much his
funeral; what the spectators loses
goes into the farmers pocket, and if
Nashville expects to cApturethe trace
of this market hen conservative bust
ness men will have TO abandon their
extreme conservatism and turn to
lively speculation, and the next time
the shoe pinches it will be on some
body else's foot.

ABOUT BANK CHECKS.
When and How to be Collected and
How Initiated.

A great deal of business is transact
ed by the use Of bank checks. In
fact it is the most convenient and
safest way of transacting business, be
cause the check properly drawn is a
receipt for the money paid and it is
not safe to keep much money in hand
for business transactions and still
there is risk in holding a check I'M
paid.
Selen r. Hopkins delivered very
interesting address on this subject
and general banking laws Dec. 10, at
a meeting of the Institute of Ac
counts at New York, published in the
Metal Worker, from which we take
the following extract relative to
checks that will be Of interest to the
general public:
| PRESENTATION AND REVOCATION.
"The presentmentf for payment of IA
check Is another very important
thing. 1t has been well established
by law that when person receives a
check he has only until the next day
to present for payment, provided the
check is given in the same town the
bank on which it is drawn is located.
If the man holds it over one day and
the bank fails the loss is his. If it is
drawn upon a bank at another place
it must be put into process of collec-
ton the next day--that is, the man
must deposit it in some bank in or
der to have it forwarded to the bank
upon which it is drawn for collection.
Then reasonable time will be al
loWed-a court may decide what that
is-fOr it to reach the bank upon
which it is drawn. The general rule
Of the law is modified somewhat in
cities where there are clearing houses.
The law would say it was a timely
presentment ii | received a cheek
late in the afternoon, after banking
hours, and deposited ii in my bank
on the following day, and it goes to
the clearing house and is charged up
the next day. 1t would be paid as
quickly as it could be done. | might
possibly get it into my bank so it
would get into the clearing house the
same day, but it would be hardly
probable. The law would allow for
such slight delay as that.
another thing is The revocation OF
check, or how payment may be
stopped. ! receive a check and hold
it over a day, and although the bank
may be perfectly good and the man
who drew it TO my favor dies. The
death of the drawer Of the check is
an immediate revocation of all the
power Of the bank to pay, so that if
the person draws me a cheek to day,
and l put it in the bank tomorrow,
and the notice of the death of the
man reaches the hank before the
check is presented, the bank need
not pay it. My only claim would be
against the estate Of the man who
had died"
