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

Last week was busy week in ware
house circles-in fact one of the busi-
est since the New Year came in. Sales
were heavy every day. blocking on one
or two days in consequence of the
heavy receipts.
While the roads have been and still
are in a most wretched condition, still
the farmers brought in tobacco from
all directions and in heavy loads. The
shipments by rail were equally heavy
and the warehouse people had all they
could do.
Tobacco consisted mostly of filler
stock ranging from common to very
fine-not great deal of the latter,
however. Wrappers, as usual, were
scarce, though several very fine lots
were sold during the week.
For the first time this year nearly
all the manufacturers seemed to be On
the market and bidding was very
spirited. During the entire week pri-
ces kept up at high rate and the
market closed firm.
From this time on our local manu-
facturerS will be on the market regu-
larly and prices are expected to keep
up. Manufacturers are buying with
the view Of doing big years work.
Orders for manufactured stock are
coming in freely and manufacturers
are in good spirit. January was one
of the best months the trade has ever
enjoyed and February promises to be
a month of heavy shipments. The
following report of the revenue Office
for the week ending Saturday, Feb.
11th, shows week of good business.

Correspondence of The Sentinel
WALNUT COVE, n. c., Feb 9.-Good
breaks of tobacco on the market this
week, prices fairly good; made an
average of twenty-five one day. Old

Mr. A. J. Fair will soon have his
saw and grist mill started. We wish
him much success, and hope whenever
we have as cold weather as has been
this winter, there will not be any COM
plaint of mills froze up.
Capt. Stanffeld and w. S. Highfill
went bird hunting yesterday. Don't
think the Captain enjoyed the hunt
as well as he anticipated. The cold
and SHOWS left the birds rather
scarce.
Walnut Cove has gotten to be quite
a railroad centre since we have four
mail trains at the n. & w. junction
at conce, and the G. +. & Y. v. is
transferring coal here instead of Mad

We are glad to know that John W.

The general health of the people

MARRIAGE THAT WAS TO Be
The Father of the Prospective Bride
Interferes With the Match.


Instead of two hearts being made
glad two were made sad Wednesday
night.
AS the train from Raleigh drew up
at Elon College that night, says the
Greensboro Record, pretty young
lady, stylishly dressed, boarded the
first-class car and took seat in front
of a gentleman from Greensboro. He
says he noticed she was little eXcit-
ed and seemed to be about out of
breath. but he didn't think much
aboutsit until an elderly gentlemen
came bustling in the car, also out of
breath, and catching her by the arm,
jerked her out of the coach in a jiffy,
remarked as he did so, ''Thought you
would get away, did you? But you
didn't. Guess you won't try it any
more
BY this time the Greensboro mans
curiosity was at fever heat and he
followed to the platform where
crowd were enjoying the scene.
1t seems the young lady, whose
name could not be ascertained, lived
at Burlington. She was eloping and
had promised to meet her lover in
Salisbury, where they were to be mar
ried. Not caring to run the risk of
taking the train at Burlington she
took horse and buggy and drove to
Elon College. But it appears the old
man was up to her game and was on
her track.
But the poor fellow in Salisbury
don't you know that he had time
waiting for his beloved ? He had no
word from her and of course knew
nothing of her trouble until the train
arrived

From the Progressive Farmer-l
Like all former Legislatures, the

with proposition to tax dogs for the
protection of sheep and for the peo-
pie who don't know how many dogs

Farmer is not afraid of the dog own
ers. We are sure that there is a pos
sibility Of doing much good by the
passage of such law, and we do not
close the doors to say SO, either Dogs
are necessary. Every family in the
country should keep at least one for
the protection of poultry and other
purposes. Bot if anybody wants to
own more than one let them pay a
tax ON the extra ones, be it so cents,

How the Senate Stands.
From the Baltimore SUM-

tue DdltlHOIe Gun
The election in Nebraska of Judge
w. V. Alien, Populist, to succeed
United States Senator Algernon S.
Paddock lowers the Republican
strength in the Upper House by one
more vote and destroys their plural
ity. At the beginning of the second
session of the present Congress there
we're in the Senate 80 Democrats, At
Republicans and 2Populists. The re-
suit of recent elections has been to
give the Democrats gain of one each
in New York, Wisconsin, California
and Kansas. This increases the Dem
ocratic strength to 43 and reduces the
Republican strength to 43. The cleo
tion of Allen, Populist, IN Nebraska
decreases the Republican strength to
Al. Whether it increases the Demo-
cratic strength by one vote depends
upon the line the newly elected
Senator will take. 1t has been stat
ed that his leanings are Democratic.
