"Oh death, unwelcome monster thou,
ImperiOns in thy choice.n

"Oh death, unwelcome monster thou,
Imperious in thy choice"
Such is the echo of our heart as we
attempt to pay this tribute of respect
to the memory of Miss Anna DoWell,
who died in this city February ! 1892
Though for several months her
many friends had watched with
anxiety her falling health, still the
summons came with startling sudden
ness, giving only a few hours warn
ing. But such was the wish so often
expressed, wishing to die in the midst
of active usefulness.
Endued with a bright mind and
cheerful disposition, emphasized by a
strong Christian character, she was
beloved by all who knew her, but in
the family circle and to her most init
mate friends was her true worth best
known. She was the light and life OF
her home, her presence a benediction
and inspiration to loved ones and
| friends.
At the early age of thirteen she
united with the Baptist church, and
her first bible, marked throughout, at
tests her earnest study and consecra-
ton. 1t was her daily study, her
strength and comfort. Fully conscious
of her condition, and with implicit
confidence in her physician and Heav-
emily Father, she bore with lovely sub
mission and cheerfulness her great
suffering, truly saying: "My times are
in thy hands" The world is better for
having known her and memories of
her will ever rise like sweet incense'to
cheer and comfort her sorrowing rela-
tives and friends. Her devoted and
infirm mother only stood the grief
and shock few days, when she was
called to share with her the endless
joys of the mysterious beyond.
To her doubly bereaved sisters we
can only say, lean on the same ON.
nipotent arm, from whence came all
her strength and comfort; there alone
will you find comfort in this dark hour
and when at last life's battles have
been fought and won may you all be
united in the eternal sunlight and joys
of heaven. A FRIEND.

Her Mania for Barpains.

There was curious instance of the ex-
tremes to which a bargain fiend may be
carried revealed by the death of a woman
in one of the suburbs few days ago.
Among her belongings were found about
fifty pieces of dress goods that had never
been made up, some of them, judging from
their styles, a score of years old. Of calico
and other wrappers there were nearly three
times as many, and huge accumulation
of wearing apparel of all sorts was also
found
A still greater surprise to the family was
the discovery of not less than 500 pairs of
old stockings, all carefully darned and put
away. All the hosiery that the household
had had, and, rs they supposed, worn out
years ago, was there, as carefully mended
and packed away as though they had be-
longed to a saint.
The climax was the unearthing of great
pile of empty tomato cans, which the con-
scentious old soul had slowed away for
some purpose known only to herself
Her family knew that she had mania
for bargains, and would buy anything and
everything if she thought it was cheap,
but the inventory of her purchases was a
genuine revelation even to them.-Boston

THE TOBACCO INTEREST.
Should Farmers Plant a Large Crop or
NotP

This has been a remarkably fine
season for burning plant beds, and
farmers have made good use of it.
There will be no scarcity of plants
for an early setting this year, unless
some unforeseen misfortune should
follow. Tobacco is now selling for
good prices, and the evidence is that
the present supply will tall short of
the demand and the closing of the
season will find the market entirely
bare of stocks, and everything is en-
couraging growers to plant both sides
of the earth again this year, and the
prospects is that they will undertake
to do that thing.
The question is, will it be wise to
do so? We do not agree with some
of the dealers that such a policy
would be wise. The planting of a
large crop will necessarily be at the
expense of other crops, and large
planting will also have the effect of
weakening the present ruling prices,
bring large stocks of inferior grades
on the market and the figures down
to 1878 prices.
The farmers of this district should
never forget the abyss into which
they were plunged by the great crop
thrown upon the market in 1878.
They may find an example now in
the condition of the cotton planter
with an over-stocked market. Our
planters are just now getting over
the depression that followed excess
sive planting. Moreover, they
should have learned by this time
that il pays better to raise moderate
crops of fine grade and plenty Of
other things to supply home con-
sumption.
Another feature in all of this !:
Many farmers delight in sittin' on the
fence, cnrsing the Reggie monopoly,
while the suckers grow and the
worms eat, making more Reggie
stocks of tobacco which should suit
some other demand,at higher figures
The country dealers and warehouses
form the only and last wall that
stands between the monopoly and
the planters. Tear this down, and
the Reggie bear will make breakfast
spell of the farmer, at once, and for
ever destroy the wall. The crop has
been pretty well bought up by deal
ers for the home trade, Germany
and other countries using the fine
wrappery grades at prices above
Reggie figures, and the farmers. are
holding the Regies at disadvan-
tage. These dealers are. dependent on
a moderate planting, holding up the
market to get them out whole,
covering some of the losses on previ,
GUS crops. If large crop is planted
that will let the prices down in June
and enable the monopoly to squeeze
out the dealers and then next year,
establish their pricing houses all
over the country, taking tobacco at
their own figures.
The Reggie agents are useful to the
country so long as planters keep
within reasonable bounds in planting,
and maintain healthy competition,
as we now have with the warehouses
aud country dealers fighting the
Reges.
Plant moderate crop, make fine
wrappery tobacco at still higher fig
ures, and then there will be enough |
in the crop to supply the Reggie de.
mand at fair prices.
