ENTRIES TO CLOSE.
A Matter Interesting to Owners of Fast
Horses.

A Matter Interesting to Owners of Fast
Horses.
The secretary of the District Agricul-
tural society, Mr.. Louis Thorne, desires
to remind horse owners that today
tThursday) is the closing day for all
entries to races given for the fair, either
of trotters, runners and PAGERS.
The programe is good one, all things
considered. It has but one race that is
too short for aged horses, but it is sup
posed there are great many horses of
that class in this country, and it is
looked on merely as race to create
some local excitement. It is safe to say
that more than five entries will be
found in each and every class, when the
entry books are opened: and good
weather and large attendance can be
expected.

poetry which may be likened TO woman
who is beautiful and dazzles, but may not
necessarily have heart. She thrills and
bewitches We say she IS splendid ana ali
that. but those who look beneath the sur
face care more for q noble hearted woman
who has a soul, even if she Is not belle.
Poetry TO attract and touch the heart must
be clothed in popular form. 1t must ap-
peal TO all who have not the genius OF ap-
probation.

the Sergeant did not change his seat there

There is at this moment pressing need
for more priye-room. for handling leaf-to-
becco. Such factories should be built by
our capitalists at the earliest moment and
as convenient as possible to the ware

the tobacco business demands more room.
There are several parties now lnquiring
for warehouse-room in which to sell to-
bacco. which means greater growth than
even that experienced in 1891 TO 1892 sea-
son. There have been every day sales since
last July at from two to FIVE warehouses

A well-supported and established tobac-
co journal attests the Importance OF the
market of Richmond.
The number Of visitors from other mar
kets. drawn by the loose-sales system,
shows constant increase.
Our men of means could scarcely DO

Among the miners themselves and their

of them are depending upon charity.

men have been discharged from the steel
works, and many of their families are
without food or fuel except that furDlsned

guardians. But, in order to avoid the dls.
embarrassment of electors. this relief
will soon have to be discontinued.
The miners are said to be hrm In their
determination not to accept any reduction
in their wages, but at ballot recently
taken as to whether they should return to
work on the masters terms, about 5000 OF
the strikers did not vote. whether or not
the men would return to work under some
COMPROMISE is not known, Tor the only
point which the ballot settled was not TO
return TO work at the reduction proposed
by the coal-mine owners.
