Morris Graft is dead. After a long,
useful and honorable business life this
good mans body has been tenderly and
afIectionately deposited in its last resting
place, and his spirit has returned unto
God who gave it. 1t is n sad and severe
bereavement to see those we respect,
honor and love stricken down by the
cold, yet unerring hand of death. Who
can measure the depth of that sorrow
sadness and bereavement we feel rs we
stand at the grave Of an honorable man, Il
true friend and faithful brother? We
can't understand all these things now,
but in the midst OF our gloom, sorrow and
desolation we know that death must come
to all, and that the faithful believer in
Gods mercy may with all confidence say {:
"Farewcll, brother! We hope to meet you
in the eternal home"

Children's day was observed in a very
appropriate by the Christian
Sunday school, last Sunday. Under the
direction of Miss Mamie Gordon, the
superintendent, a literary and musical
program was prepared and given by the
little ones, in the evening, and all who
attended were well pleased with the
entertainment. Each OF the bright little
children did we'll, both in recitation and
song. The duet by Mrs. j. IL. Hall and
Miss LEILA Gordon was beautifully rem
dered, and the short address by the pastor
was enjoyed by all. The Christian Sunday
school IL in a fiourishing condition, the
attendance being large and the interest
good. May its usefulness increase.
Mr.. George Venable is getting up a dog
ordinance, which he will soon ask the
council to pass. We ave not seen the
document, but the gist OF IL is as follows:
That On and after July 1, 1894, all dogs
running at large in the city of Lexing-
ton, without a tag, &C. II. p" shall be
killed; and all dogs with the tag shall
be drowned, and the owner of a dog with
a tag shall be fined five dollars for being
fool enough to pay taxes on such worth
less brutes. George thinks this will pass
unless Doodle is used TO defeat It,. Should
this ordinance pass there will be a large
supply Of dead dogs. Somebody ought Ia
devise a way to utilize the crop. Perhaps
II could be canned for the Chinese trade

NEW YORK, April 27.-R. &. Dun q

When reports of great strikes and
labor disturbances crowd all news
papers it is idle to look for much i'm.
provement III business. That every
week of idleness for 50 many men
must appreciably lessen the aggregate
power to purchase products Of labor IL
evident. But in spite Of all, some i'm
provement still appear. Several large
auction sales of textile goods have dis
turbed markets and brought remarka-

TRADE AND COMMERCE.
Bratstrest's Trade Review.

NEW YORK, April 27.-Bradstreet's
Review of Trade tomorrow will say;
The general business situation
throughout the United States is less
favorable as shown by reports from
so important distributing centers. A
specially depressing influence is the
strike OF 147, 900 bituminous coal and
coke operatives in II states. Buffalo,
Cleveland, Chicago and Duluth are
feeling the strike, the effect on vessel
interests at these and other lake ports
being very discouraging. Duluth ore
shipments are being delayed for want
of return coal calgoes and railroad
employees have begun to discharge
coal train employees. Only Two cities
of So reporting in central, western and
northwestern, report material i'm
provement in general trade this week,
indianapolis and Kansas City, even
at these points the gain is slight. Ac-
tivity in the stock market is checked
by the labor disturbances and the de-
lay in reaching a conclusion on the
new tariff bill.
Professional operators incline to de
the railrad share list by means OF
short sales. The market however, is
narrow and subject to reaction. In"
dustrial stocks, however, are strong
and the larg 9 short interest in Chicago
gas sustains that stock in the face of
adverse legal proceedings. The bond
market is quiet but firm. Foreign
exchange is dull but on Friday 81 ,2OO,-
900 in gold was engaged for export to
France. Silver had speculative
spasm on a rumor that India's minis
would reopen but the quotation for
bars has receded TO ga IL per ounce.
A feature at Chicago is in sales OF dry
goods equally the average of previous
weeks, other lines not making 50
favorable report.
st. Louis reports its general bust
ness situation fair, although charac-
terizing the demand as of hand to
mouth variety. The decrease in de-
mand from jobbers at Omaha and
other Nebraska points is reported to
activity of farm work. Trade at st.
Paul, Minneapolis and Duluth, as at
other points further west, is very un-
favorably affected by the tie up of tie

BORNE, Tex, April 27.-The murS
der case of H. H. Childers was resumed
this morning and the entire day was
consumed in evidence and argument.
The case went to the jury at 4:19 p. N.
The judges charge was very able and
dealt plainly with the facts. The tes-
timony has failed to show Childers in
a bad light. Opinions differ as to the
verdict, but the general opinion is
that defendant will either be cleared
or that the jury will not decide.

Secretary Testers Weekly Statement.

NEW ORLEANS. April 81. Secretary
Hester's weekly New Orleans cotton
exchange statement issued before the
close of business today shows an in
crease in che movement of cotton into
sight of the seven days ending April
81 last year of 1879 bales, or 81 per
cent, and decrease under the seven
pays ending this date year before last
of 1929, or nearly Is per cent.
For the 81 days of April that have
elapsed an excess of 46,S35 has been
brought into sight over last year, but
the aggregate is 1876 bales under the
same days in April year before last.
This makes the increase in the
amount of cotton crop marketed for
the 800 days of the season, from sept.
/ to April 81 inclusive, S16,9S4 bales
over the same 239 days of last season
and the deficiency compared with the
same time year before last, 1888, $50.
The total brought into sight during
the past seven days has been 4S,29O
against 80, 491 last year and $3.50 the
year before, while the aggregates for
the first 81 days of April are 2lO,324
against 174,171. The total marketed
from Sept. 1 TO date is 1861, 2O9 against
6,244, PIG and 1924, 563 for last year and
the year before respectively.
From this date on last year the
amount of cotton brought into sight
was 456, 0S9 bales and the year before
last 410,Sl6. In other words, after this
date last year 6.S1 of the crop was
marketed and after this date season
before last 455.
The movement since Sept 1 shows
o1l
1856 TAO against 1875, 212 last year and
6,7O6,Sl4 the year before last. Over
land, across the Mississippi, Ohio and
Potomac rivers to northern mills and
Canada 715,291 against SO1,69 and
1,173,280. Interior stock i'll excess OF
these held at the close of commercial
year 1884 ahainst 156,9l9 and 1884,
593. Southern mill takings 5S2, 595
against 564, 454 and 509,S03
Foreign exports for the week have
been 81, 459 against 68,OO3 last year,
making the total thus far for the sea-
son $3.50, 1853 against 3,7O1 ,249 last year
or an increase of 97S,9O4.
Northern mill takings for the past
seven days show an increase of II, 200
as compared with the corresponding
period last year, but the total takings
since Sept. have decreased 2S6, 9S9
The total takings of American mills,
North, South and Canada, thus far
for the season have been 1,S73,S73
against 2,147,277 last year. These in
clude 1,265,999 by Northern spinners
against 1853, 987. 1t must be remem-
bered that the weekly, monthly and
eason's comparisons in Secretary Hes
ter's reports are made up to cores
ponding dates last year and year be-
fore Comparisons 10 close of cores
ponding weeks are misleading, as to-
tails to close of this week last year
would take in 240 days of the season
and to close of this week in 1892 in
cludes 242 days, whereas to close OF
this week this year covers only 230
days.

An Old Steamer.

The old side-wheel steamer Bangor"
the first on the Boston Il Bangor route, in
1893, is still in active service in Cairo,
Egypt She is sixty-two years old, and

far as known all her American contem-

The summer days have passed away,

Ry winters frosty fingers.
The leaves that shoue with brightest hucs

All scattered lie; no more they fly,
Like bright banuers DER the scene.
Ger the earth now clad in whitcness.
The moonbeams soft are stealing;
And stars above that twinkle bright.

What enc but His could watch them all,
As each their limits rounded
The flowers that bloomed SO brightly,
The fields and woods among,

Their roundelays had sung.
These flowers now are faded.
These swallows homcward flown
Yet ere night closes round Va,
We reap the harvest sown.

And Gods love alone suffice,
We shall see the life eternal,
