quite large sum of money in his house.
The Raggio brothers, besides owning the
local stage lines, also have the contract for
delivering logs to the Utica Company, and
Dick drives one of the teams. He had
stored $l6O in gold and some silver away
IN his house, although his wife had ad-

had disappeared, but the silver remained

intending to compel the latter to retract
the charge. Two of Raggio's relatives got
wind of the young mans intentions and
the three arrived at Dicks house about the
same time. As there was no evidence
against the lad, the matter was amicably
settled and hostilities avoided. The affair
has created quite sensation here, as both
families are prominent.

came to the market during the past year
was the largest raised in this State since
1885, receipts amount ny to 1892 hogs
heads.
The tobacco was Of better quality and
lighter character than the preceding one,
but was lacking in bright color Medium
grades were not plentiful and better
grades were quite scarce and remained in
strong demand at gradually advancing
prices. Common gra dies were in unusually
large proportion, and gradually declined
during the season.
The French Reyie coltrac ted for about
14,0,0 hogs heads, which was the largest
ollai titv taken within the memory of the
trade.

The crop of Ohio tobacco was also
larger than in may ytt rs, 1898 hogs
heads having beel received. 1t possessed
fair BODY and was ri pc, but deficient in
fright color.
France contrac ted for about 3,G00
bOysheals, but the other demands were
rather light, leaving stock Of nearly
900 howSheads in first hands.

rightly used. The many, who live bet

less expenditure, by more promptly
adapting the worlds best products TO
the needs Of physical being, will attest
the value to health of tile pure liquid
laxative principles embraced in the
remedy, Syrup of FIGS.
Its excellence is due to its presenting
in the form most acceptable and pleas
ant to the taste, the refreshing and truly
beneficial properties of a perfect lax
ative; etfectually cleansing the system,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
and permanently curing constipation.
1t has given satisfaction to millions and
met with the approval of the medical
profession, because it acts on the Kid
ncys, Liver and Bowels without weak
ening them and it is perfectly free from
every Objectionable substance.
Syrup of Figs is for sale by all drug
