The old Boys School House in Salem
was one hundred years old Saturday.
On the 8th day of June, 1874, the
cornerstone was laid and just six
months later, on the 8th of December
the school was transferred to the com
pleted building and now for one hum
dred years the Moravian boys, and
others, have been educated there. In
many cases, father, sons and grand
sons have all been taught in the same
old school house, which has become

cries which cluster around it, even al
though some of the experiences there
were at times not altogether of the
most pleasant character

The receipts of loose leaf tobacco on
the Danville market up to the close of
business Saturday were quite large,
and consisted of wagoned and shipped
goods. Double sales at the eleven
loose leaf warehouses blocked three
days, while the rest of the week there
was enough of the weed Oh hand to
keep buyers and waIehousemen busy.
Some very desirable tobaccos were
on the floors, but the bulk of the Of
ferings were of the semi-bright order
and nondescript sorts. The tone of
the market was strong and active,
while prices on all goods of character
showed an upward tendency. The re-
ceipts at the eleven loose leaf ware
houses for the week amounted to
987, $50 pounds. Manufacturers had a
very poor week. The daily sales of
revenue stamps amounted toS4, 908.09.
