GREEN GOODS MEN.
How They Capture the CROSSROADS
Farmer.

From the New York Sun.
A backwOods or crossroads farmer,
with greed, cupidity, and thievery in
his heart, eager to acquire wealth by
passing counterfeit bills upon his
neighbors and associates, comes to
New York in response to a green
goods circular, and visiting by appoint
ment 1.-THE turning joint" enjoys an
opportunity to inspect package of
good money from sample shown
him. He examines the bills and
avows his surprise that the counter
felt is so good. 1t is no counterfeit;
the bills shown him are genuine.
Then the felonious consplrators
against the contents of his pocket
book make, unknown to him, a change,
substituting for the package first
shown him another containing green
paper and a birck. The credulous
guy, as such rustic victim is called.
departs for his home only to flnd on
investigation that he has been de-
frauded, but unable, under the cir
cumstances, to make any cutlery, to
secure any sympathy or too btain any
redress. Who cares for the feloniouS
farmer? His offence against honesty
and against the law is as grave, as
fiagrant, and as despicable as the
buncO mems.

RETURNING TO FIRST LOVE.
An Old Man Danced a Jig-Three
Cheers for Surry.

An Old Man Danced a Jig-Three
Cheers for Surry.
Mr.. G. w. Hinshaw, who has occa-
sion to travel over the Wilkesboro
road frequently, says that among the
passengers a few days ago was Mr..
ApperSOn, Seventy-two years old, who
left Yadkin county for Illinois forty
five years ago. AS soon as Mr.. A pper-
son saw the Yadkin Valley he began
to recall the pleasures of his youth
and tell how he used to go to parties;
how much more sociable the North
Carolinians are than the people of the
West; told how they used to dance,
etc.
Just before getting off the train at
Shoals station, he danced d jig for the
passengers just to show them how the
young folks did when he was boy.
Going up the road Saturday, Mr..
Hinshaw said he saw in front of him
gentleman with a clerical look, silk
hat and regulative coat on. The gen.
tleman seemed to be intensely inter
ested and after crossing the Little
YadkIn river, the stranger asked a
fellow passenger what county he was
in. On being told that the train was
then in Surry, the clerical looking man
raised up and gave three loud cheers
Tor North Carolina and as many FOL
Surry county. Some of the ladies ap-
pearing To be frightened at the unusual
proceeding, Mr.. Hinshaw moved up tC
the minister who explained that he
was not crazy but that he left the
State more than five years ago and
| had been living in Missouri; that the
| railroad had been built since he went
away and that everything had i'm
| proved SO much he was obliged
to hollow He said that he had come
back to North Carolina to live
that there was no place like NORTH
Carolina and no people like NORTH

OUR TOBACCO MARKET.
LIGHT RECEIPTS OF LEAF LAST
WEEK.
The Shipments of Manufactured
Goods, However. Were Nearly
100000 Pounds.

The Winston loose market for the
past week has beef feaoureless, and
there is very little of interest to write
about. The receipts have been light,
and the quality of the stock poor.
Prices hold stiff, and the indications
are, judging from the way the little
new that has been offered has sold,
that the 1894 crop will fetch good fig
ures. Just now the curing season is
at it's height, and farmers are too
busy at home to haul to town the
remnant of the old crop. Full sales
again are looked for in few weeks.
In the manufacturing line activity
continues, the factories putting up
large quantities of goods and orders
are coming in satisfactorily. Since the
settlement of the tariff matters less
complaint of the times are heard, and
there is much better feeling. Ev-
erybody is working with renewed en-
ergy and with belief in the good
promises of the future Shipments
for the first half of September exceed
those OF the same period of last year.
A good business has been done
since our last report, as the following
collections by the Winston internal
revenue office show.

THE NEW TARIFF.
Its Practical Effect on the Prices of a
Few Articles of Everyday Use.

The following comparative list of
prices, furnished by S. E. Allen, our
leading wholesale and retail dealer in
hardware and crockery, will we'll serve
to show the prices at which goods in
his lines were sold at before and since
the new tariff went into effect and in
the main are to be credited to the
new tariff:
Iron, tire, base sizes q c., now C.
per fb with corresponding reduction
of C. per fb. on all sizes. Horse shoes
shoes 81 c., now C. per H., with like
reduction on mule shoes. Galvanized
baroed fence wire 81 c., now q C. per
tb. Nails c., now ? C. To. Cast steel
124 C, now 10 C. ID. Trace chains 40
c., now 30 C. pair. Shot Tbs. for 25 c.,
now lbs. Powder 30 c., now % C. tb.
Plow casting 81 c., now24 C. fb. Lewis
lead u c., now 81 Glib. Glass S2.75, now
81 p per box. Rubber betting finch
3-ply ID! c., now l04 C. per foot, with
like reduction on all sizes. Cutlery,
materially effected than anything
else, yet the differences in prices is
not so easily shown. Very cheap
pocket knives, foreign price less than
so C. per dozen, now cost II C. per doZ
en- duties instead of 274 C. Knives
costing So per dozen, foreign price,
were taxed a specific duty of 81 per
dozen and so per cent. ad valorem,
now cost 81 per doz. less the specific
duty being off. On the more expens-
i've goods the proportionate reduction
Of duty is very much less, hence this
class is bat very slightly effected.
TlNwARE-One gallon covered buck
cts 20 c., now Is C. Half-gallon coffee
pots 20 c., now Is C. Twelve quart
dish pans Is c., now 20 C. Two gallon
open buckets 25 c., now 20 C. Painted
toilet sets ST. so, now S1.25 each, with
like reductions throughout.
CROCKERY-Cups and saucers IS to
30 C and As to 40 C. per set of six.
Plates 35 C to so C. and As C. to 40 C.
per set of six. Lamps $3.50 to $1.75,
30 C. to 40 c., 40 C. to 30 c., 30 C. to 80 c.,
30 C. to % c., % C. to 20 C. each.
Indeed there is some reduction
throughout nearly the entire lines of
hardware and crockery which can
best be shown by a personal examina-
tion of stock and comparison of new
with old prices.
AS Capt Allen is the acknowledged
leader in low prices you will make no
mistake to examine his stock and
prices before buying elsewhere, as you
may be able to save big money by do
ing so.
