Trade Outlook Improving.

The Chicago Tribune contains q number of
interviews with prominent merchants of
that city, from which we quote: Lyman J.
Gage, President of the First National Bank,
had this to say of the situation and outlook:
There is no doub1but that the farmers
will realize much larger crops than usual
this year: The heavy yield will be more
universally distributed than it has been for
many wears. The effect cannot be other
wise than to put the farmer in financial
condition which will stand in perfect con-
trast to that of the past. That is to say, he
will control eIchangeable values for the
needs of his farm and family. He can liQui-
date, if not wipe out, the burden of debt
which has so severely oppressed him. The
effect on general business must be good.
Everybody ought to rejoice with the farmec
at this bit OF cheerful sunshine that has fal-
len to his lot. 1 should say that not much
money has gone West to move the wheat
crop vet. 1t IS not marked, at least The
local banks throughout the West have
enough cash on hand to take the initiative.
When the big crop begins to move in the
Northwest then look out for a large move
ment of currency. Money will be plentiful" !"
Good News From the West
Erskine NJ. Phelps. a member of one of the
leading shoe jobbing and manufacturing
firms of Chicago, had this to say:
1--WE lave noticed a very appreciable and
gratifying advance in trade already. Let
tiers from agents day after day inform us
that the Western farmers are buying
more goods and of better grade than
they have in years. For a number of
years back the crops have been indif-
ferent and the prices low. That naturally
aused depression in trade, but this year
things are brighter than for a number of
years. 1 expect season of great prosperity.
We are bound to have it. The immense crop
and the high prices are a golden boon to the
poor farmers. and their gain will also be
ours. In former years collections were hard,
but even now they are easier. 1t is q great
year. Money will be plenty, farmers will
soon wear patent leather shoes and fancy
garments, and drive tallyho coaches"

RUTHERFORD COLLEGE.

The Rutherford College is situated
in Burke County, about one mile from
the w. n. G. Railroad. The healthful-
ness Of the place is remarkable. The
climate is brscing and cool in su rmer,
and protected by surrounding noun
tains from severe cold in winter. No
epidemic has invaded the village in its
history. Within ten minutes walk
are the famons Connolly Springs, the
waters Of which are shipped to Europe,
and which are thronged the year round
with invalids. Young ladies and gen
tlemen coming to the College from

place has become proverbial as health

TO MEET.
The Old Settlers of the North to Have
a ROYAL Meeting at Raleigh.

Inc Old Settlers OF the North to Have
a Royal Meeting at Raleigh.
There is to be held at the city of
Raleigh, on October 21st, a conven-
ton of the northern, eastern and
western settlers, in the State Of
North Carolina, together with all
others who have immigrated to the
South. 1t is very desirable these
settlers shall be united in their pur-
pose Of promoting the progress and
development of the country. To
this end preliminary convention
was held in May, to appoint a time
for a convention in the fall. All
Northern men who have settled in
North Carolina or any other South
ern State, are cordially invited to be
present at this meeting.
A report has gone out that the
Northern Settlers convention is to
convene on October 9th. 1t has
been necessary to change the date
in order to accommodate as large g
number as possible. Many settlers
can't attend on an earlier day, be
cause Of the harvesting Of crops.
The time for the convention i
therefore changed from the 9th to
the 21st Of October, 1891, and vii
take place in the Exposition build
ing.

While workmen were digging near the
hillside above McKeesport saturday they
struck at a depth of twenty-five feet pc
culiar looking body that had been un-
earthed by the blasting Of the rock It at
first resembled vein of dark clay or shale,
but on close examination il WAS found
that it was covered with scales The in
terest Of the workmen was aroused, and by
careful digging they finally nnearthed a
stone body twenty eight feet long and
tapering at both ends. A close examina.
ton showed it was that Of an enormous
reptile that had become petrified.
The tail end was first found, and twenty
five feet of il have been taken out, but the
head is yet imbedded in the rock. The fos-
sill rested in assure in the solid rock, and
about it were also discovered dead leaves.
The remains have been seen by a number
of responsible people, who will take care of
them for further examination.
This find recalls the famous MeKeesport
snake that had been seen in the vicinity
many years ago, and which was described
by those who had seen it as being over
twenty-five feet long. The snake was last
seen about twenty-five years ago, and there
are people still living here who say they
have seen it. There is no doubt the body
just found was that Of an enormous snake,
and it is thought TO have been the same as
the one which created such fears years ago.
