WINSTON TOBACCO MARKET.
The Tobacco Journals Review for tht
Week Ending October 2Sth.

Offerings of tobacco on this market
the past week have been fairly large
and while some old stock appeared
and brought good prices, the new
stock predominated. Prices on new
continues low and the market lacks
animation. Good filters appear in
better supply than was first anticipated
and breaks show some improvement in
color over last weeks offerings
In manufacturing circles we find
work still going on in fine style with
good forces of hands and factories are
still purchasers of old leaf from specu-
lators as indicated by good shipments
of tobacco in hOgsheads to them from
dealers in other markets of Virginia
and North Carolina. They report
brisk sales of plug and fairly good col
lections. Banks here are discounting
goood paper and business all around
seems better and improving. 1t is too
early to forecast accurately the quality
of this new crop, but present indica
tions leads US to believe that the sup
ply of good filters will be abundant
for all purposes of our manufacturers
and while fine cutters will be scarce
there will be a plenty of good bright
lugs to supply all demands.
The sales of revenue stamps for the
Waak ending fOHaV are aC fellows.

WAS HE POISONED?
Suspicious Death at MartinsvilIe of a
Blind Man.

MARTINsvILLE, Va, Oct. 27.-This
town was startled few days since by
the very sudden death of an old blind
man by the name of John Williams.
On a partial investigation it was
shown almost conclusively that the
party had been poisoned. A dog was
found dead near the house who had
eaten part of the food that the family
had diued ON just before Williams
death
The Commonwealth could prosecute
this case but for defect in the crimi-
nal law; that is the want of some way
TO have an analysis made. There is
no provision in the law to pay for
having an analysis made, except the
statute which allows S25 for such
work, but this is not sufficient to pay
the charges of chemist. The cost
is placed at $50. Having no way to
have this analysis made, the Common
wealth had to dismiss the prisoner,
Alice Williams, there not being sutfi-
cient proof against her to sustain the
prosecution.
This is the second case of this kind
that has occurred in this county in
the past twelve months.

Listen to Col. Fairbrother.

The bicyclist's stoop seems to be
practically confined to boys. Girls
ride bicycles more and more, but for
some reason they do not find it neces-
sary to hunch their shoulders fOrward d
and double themselves over the ham
die of their machines. Perhaps that
is because they are vainer than the
boys and care more how they look.
Perhaps there is another reason still,
