DANVILLE TOBACCO MARKET.
The Registers Review of the Week
Ending Aug. 18th.

% For the week which closed Satur-
day, receipts of loose leaf tobacco were
quite full up to near the close, when
when they fell off, double sales Friday
closing by IL o'clock
The: tobacco offered did not differ
materially in quality from that offered
in weeks past, consisting mostly of
common and undesirable goods.
Owing to the bad condition of some
of the tobacco, bidders were slow in
their bidding, causing sales in some
instances to drag.
Prices were somewhat easier on all
grades, except goods of desirable color,
which were principally disposed Of at
private sale and at prices that suited
the seller. There was a very small
supply of wrappers, which were taken
readily, fine grades being very firm.
Other grades were in moderate supply.
Sales at the eleven loose leaf ware
houses for the week amounted to 991 :
303 mounds. Manufacturers had a
slow week, the aggregate shipment Of
Mug and twist amounting to a frac-
tion over $4,000 pounds. The stamp
collections amounted to IS. 1908.

A Horrible Story of sickness and Death


The Yadkin correspondent of the
Statesville Landmark, writing of the
sickness in the southwestern portion
of that county, gives an account of
sickness and death in one family that
sounds unlike civilization. Report
has it-an1 he says it is reliable-that
one Francis Campbell was taken sick
about eight weeks ago with typhoid
fever and lay for weeks upon nothing
save few old fertilizer bags thrown
over the ropes in his bedstead. His
wife and three children also took fever
and lay for some time ON the floor OF
their little hut with nothing under
them but little straw and nothing
over them at all. Campbell died a
few days ago and lay for three or four
days before anybody would venture to
move the body for interment. The
wife and childrenare improving, some
neishbOrs having provided clothing
for them and a physician having been
called, hired nurse to care for them.
Campbell was drinking, gOod-for-
nothing sort of fellow.
