DILLARD DARTS.
Good Fruit Crops and a run" Soon to
be Made.
Correspondence of The sentinel.l

Correspondents of The Sentinel.l
DILLARD, July 1S.-Since dog days
entered we have had very hot wealth
er, consequently crops are booming.
Corn that has been worked well is
promising: tobacco is rather back
ward-very little has been topped
yet, and it is now suffering for rain,
but refreshing showers have visited
some localities the past two days.
This immediate section was visited
by a hail storm on the 3rd inst,
which did scme damage to crops, but
tobacco being small will recover.
Wheat crops are generally good; oats
also. Fruit is scarce here, but few
miles north of here there is nearly an
average yield, and our PreStonville
neighbors will soon make run"
Several deaths have occurred ncGr
here recehtly-six graves made at
Bethesda church last week. Mr.. Mil
ton Ward, respected citizen and for
many years much afflicted, died on
the 10th inst. Mrs. w. II. Simp-
son died on the 18th, leaving a
husband and five children to mourn
their irreparable loss. The other
deaths were children.
Two recruits to the Primitive Bap-
tiSt church at Clear Springs. John
and Rufus Duggins were baptized at
Davis ford of Dan river last Sabbath,
by Elder Alex Moran.
Elders Burch and Taylor will preach
at Wilson, near here, next Tuesday.

THE WINSTON TOBACCO MARKET.
Leaf Sales at the Warehouses-The
Crop Outlook.
Tobacco journal. july %.

From The Tobacco Journal, July %
Tobacco receipts have been shade
better this week, owing partly to a
i more favorable condition of the wealth
er. A number of planters sold good
lots of fine working leaf directly from
their wagons which was eagerly TAX
en- at outside prices. Some good
shipments of leaf were also handled,
both from planters direct and from
dealers on other markets.
The general tone of the market
this week has remained practically
unchanged. There seems to be bet
ter feeling in business generally and
this gives strength to the leaf mar
ket. A number of local manufacture
ers are buying very freely and paying
oufside fices sJF all the loaf they can
get. Our leading leaf dealers are buy
ing slowly and cautiously. The mar
ket closed this week with a good de-
mand for all desirable leaf.
Reports from the crop indicate that
tobacco has suffered a good deal late
" from drouth and heat and is not
looking as well as ten days ago.
Manufacturers have had. good
week. Collections are shade better
and orders for future delivery are
coming in freely. The following
stamp sale shows the shipments for
the past week:

Business assumptions in Denver.

DENVER, Col, July D. Confidence
in the Denver banks and commercial
houses is being restored in the east
and at home with nearly the same
rapidity that our people attempted
their destruction for the first three
days Of this week. There have been
no suspensions of magnitude for three
days and no more are expected.
1t is understood that the German
and State National Banks have re-
ceived large sums of money and will
be ready to open eheir doors again
within very short time.
The commercial houses that went
down with the banks are in equally
good condition. The Kaleidoscope
Newton Lumber Company, which as
signed Wednesday with assets of $780,
600, resumed business yesterday. The
Flanders Dry Goods Company, which
closed for 100000, will open their
doors today. Many others will follow
shortly.

THE FISHER FAMILY.
A Singular Story Told About Them
Relations Living Here.

The Charlotte Observer says that
the Fisher family of Cabarrus have
information of a large estate likely to
descend to them through an ancestor
of that name in Germany, The first
of that name in this country was one
Of the iIessians who declined to re-
turn to Germany and became an ac-
tive and useful citizen of the Dutch
Side.
Many interesting st,ries are told
among the Germans of Cabarrus
touching that noted Hessian. He had
a brother killed in the hard fought
battle Of Eutaw Springs in South Car
olina, and the surviving brother was
singularly devoted to his memory, and
when he afterwards made money and
took frequent trips to Charleston, he
always drove out of the way to visit
this brothers grave. This marked
devotion between two rough soldier
brothers may have something to do
in the good fortune now about to be-
fail the family in this country.
Several relatives of the family are
residents OF WinstOn-Salem.
