Mrs. Charles K. Willis, of Rich

pany, had most thrilling experience
while en- route to Abingdon to visit
her sister. She was travelling over the
Norfolk & Western road, and when
the train was at point between Sa-
lem and Elliston a large negro woman
became suddenly crazed, pounced up
on Mrs. Willis 2-year-old boy and be-
fore anyone could divine what her
purpose was, jerked the little fellow
from his mothers arms and pressed it
to her bosom. Several men attempt
en- to get the child from her, but in
vain. Finally detective on the train
overpowered and handcuffed her. The
baby was unhurt.

The sales of leaf in the loose market
show gain of 1.267, 705 pounds over

year would have shown the largest
sales ever made on this market, except
for the fact that this Association no

this tobacco grown fn~this section is
attested by the fact that notwith
standing that color has been lacking,
yet the shipments to manufacturers

history of the market.
Our manufacturers of Winston are
especially to be commended for the

And the popularity OF Winston is
again attested by the fact that of all
the plug markets, Winston alone en-
joys the happy distinction of having
manufactured and sold more plug dur
ing this fiscal year than during any
other year in it's existence, and this
leads me again, as / in did my last re-
port, to mention the Importance of
making Winston plug of Winston
leaf and thereby sustaining your
brands and still further extending
and enlarging the territory of It's uses.
We must never be satisfied with any
thing but the steady and permanent
growth and prosperity of our market,
and no efforts are to be relaxed and
no energies spared to accomplish this
end
lam glad to advise you that our re-
quests for lower rates of insurance
have been partially granted, and the
indications point to still lower reduc-
tionS in the near future. / recon-
mend that your committees continue
to seek further relief from these op-
preSSive rates even now prevailing.
/ now congratulate you upon the
full return of business activity,
after the depression of last sesson, and
that we enter upon the new year with
that harmony Of purpose as will in
sure to US fuller and larger prosper
ity for our market in the future.
1 extend to you my hearty thanks
for your uniform courtesy and aid in
the discharge of my duties.
Your obedient servant,

Pre-ident.

self with one daintily gloved hand
against the stone WALL and, leaning
forward in an attitude of eager inter.
est, faced down the approaching line.
She tapped the pavement impatiently
| from time to time with the toe of her
neat boot.
Some one in that long line rivetcd
her attentions; but there were hundreds
there, and the veil prevented any one
from seeing which striped one it was.
The prisoners all turned away their
heads as they passed the woman. Was
it prison rule that prompted this, or
a sense of shame that has survived
hardening crime? Not one did other
wise. Many faces flushed, and If any
one in that line recognized the trim fig
ure and graceful pose of the strange
woman he could never be detected by
the flush, for flushed faces were too
numerous.
When the last man on the last line,
a negro on crutches, who killed a po-
liceman on Wall street, had disap
peared in the door, the woman was es-
corted out by the keeper. She thanked
Principal Keeper Connaughton for his
courtesy, which to all visitors, men and
women, is always the same. Her voice
was pleasant, and there were no tears
in it. Her manner indicated nothing
in particular and certainly not grief.
She was driven away to the station and
returned to New York.
This woman's visits occur once every
two months. Sometimes the interval
between them is longer, and some
times, but seldom, she misses one.
She has been coming for nearly three
years, and her visits are always at the
same hour. She sees all the prisoners
in their lockstep march, and no one
connected with the prison knows her
name. No one in the prison has ever
seen her face.
There are two ways of accounting
for the periodical visits of this mysteri-
Gus unknown. She either loves or
hates, with a greater love or a greater
hate than ordinarily, some one of the
Sing Sing convicts. Perhaps it is love
that impels her to remain Yelled and
thus to spare the object of her af-
fections humiliation and shame. Tn
rcquited love, perhaps, leads her to
conceal her face. Possibly her hate of
some one in that long line of erring
men derives a certain pleasure from
the sight of him in the moment of his
disgrace,
Who can tell why she hides her face?
Is it because of love or hate?

Captain Jack Crawford, the poet

the Chicago Post. The captain, it
may be stated for tho information of
those who never saw him, Is a tall
muscular fellow, who wears his coal

He is as mild man as ever drew

The man obeyed with terror-in-

corned beef and cabbage like starry

The "cunner' told the fellow to 90
and be quick about it or he would
kick him through every street in
town. No second invitation was
needed. The gorged beggar 'skated."
When the charitable captain tried
to pay his bill the jolly Teutonic

nearly all the great men who have
risen to the occasion" in the affairs
of this republic. comes from the
humblest walks of life. AS Gov. Ait
geld Of Illinois said at the unwilling
ceremony, the life of Gen. Shields is
an inspiring lesson to the youth of the
country. HE had to toll for his daily
bread, not only for himself but his
family; and, notwithstanding this
poverty, by strong resolution, by lofty
purpose, by keeping his eye fixed
duty, he won renown and a place in
the galaxy of the worlds heroes.
Every age has produced millions of
brilliant and able men who, failing to
keep their eye turned to the sun, los
ing sight of lofty ideas, gave way to
dissipation and carried only indie
scribable wretchedness to miserable
graves. Every age has produced mil
lions of strong and industrious men
who sknew no higher god than the
dollar; who coined their lives into
sordid gold; who gave no thought to
blessing the world or lifting up hui
manity; men who owned ships and
palaces and stocks and riches of the
earth; who gildcd meanness with
splendor, and then sank into oblivion.
Posterity erected no statue TO their
memory and there was not pen in
the universe that would even preserve
a letter of their names. Let the young
men of America learn from this statue
and from the career of Gen. Shields
that the paths of virtue and of honor,
the paths Of glory and immortality are
open to them"
