ToBACCovILLE, n. c., June 27.-
Miss Ida Anderson and Mr.. William
Moser were married on the 18th inst,
at the residence of the brides father.
Mr. w. J. Martin and sister, Miss
Hartie, of Winston, have been in the

with friends.
Your correspondent had the pleasure
cf attending lawn party recently

experienced.
Farmers are about through harvest
ing wheat. The early wheat is splen-
did, but the late crops are not near so
good. The Oat crop is very fair-a
good deal better than last season.
Corn and tobacco are looking very
we'll, though they are beginning to
need rain.

romantic marriage ceremony was per-

Mamie Gaskill. 1t was arranged that
Dr. Le;th and wife, Miss Gaskill, and
Mr.. McCubbins we've to go to the
Worlds Fair this morning, but no
thought of marriage was known to
outsiders. Permission was asked of
Miss Gaskill's parents, but her mother
refused. So the baggage was packed
and sent to the depot, and ostensibly
Miss Gaskill was to spend the night
at Rev. DR.. Leith's, so as ito be
in time for the early train. In the
meantime arrangements were COM
pleted and at 1 o'clock this morning
the ceremony was reformed and all
the parties took the 5 O'Clock train for

REVIEW OF THE WEEK,
The Journals Report of the Winston
Tobacco Market.

Tobacco Market.
A dull week in leaf tobacco circles,
fine growing weather for the crops
and general lethargy in the tobacco
trade at large has characterized the
past week.
All the week leaf receipts were
small, consisting mostly of stock ship
ped from planters and from small
dealers on other markets. The quail
ty of stock sold was of the ordinary
kind, with nothing to note of interest.
A few good lots of extra fine filters
and rich waxy wrappers were sold at
prices which seemeditO please the sell
er, though tobacco remains at low
figures. If prices get better later on
and the money stringency loosens up
we may expect larger sales than usual
in the closing months of this tobacco
year.
Reports from the crop are very
gratifying. The weather is very sea-
Sonable and tobacco is getting fine
spread on the hill. The crop is rapid
" catching up-for the growth is
quite rapid at present. In the east
ern past of the State it is nearing
the topping point.
Reports from the trade South are a
bit more encouraging. The crop out
look is fine and this gives confidence
in good fall trade. Orders are COM
ing in frequently but they are for
small lots. Manufacturers say that
collections are good enough for this
season.
From present indicat ions less tobac-
co will be worked here and in other
markets this year than for several
years. This will leave the trade with
d smaller surplus and the man who
has good stock worked up when bus
inesS does oicn will be in the swim.
The rey ,I.ue ,flice here has been closed
the transfer to the new collector
and hence we omit the stamp report.
