Breaks Small, Prices High.

When the rain came the tobacco men
expected a good season" in which to
strip and market tobacco, and therefore
expected the yellow leaf to roll into
town. But the cold weather came be-
fore the rain, and left the tobacco dry
and brittle. This prevents it being
marketed, and the breaks these days are
comparatively smoll, though the sales
are good, considering the weather,
Prices are "up a tree, higher than they
have been this season, and the farmer
who gets his tobacco on the warehouse
floor is well paid for his product.

No Picture.
In MEMORY OF V. H. Y

Painted on canvas, nor IN pastels drawn,
have no picture of my darling's face,
Nor can AN artist skilled with magic touch
Her features trace,
The fair sweet image of my little one,
Lest though she be to earth and mortal
sight,
Deeply is craven on my mind and cart,
In lines of light
Her deep blue eyes so full of tender love,
Tho sightless now and closed by Deaths
cold hand,
Look into mine and smile more radianty
From Heavenly band.
Her lovely smile IN memory comes to me
Across the dreary days ot grief and pain ,
And tho | cannot clasp her hand, her voice
Comes back again.
Altho' denied picture made by man,
Dear God, how merciful and kind Thou
art,
In that Thou givest me the memory sweet
To cheer my heart
This then pray, o, blessed Comforter
So long as mind and life are spared me
here,
o may keep before my weary eyes,
Her image dear
Then when at last the evening shadows fall,
And | have finished here Lilies troublous
race,
o may see my own with clearer sight
Aye lace to face"

about Germantown Station have been dis
grace to that busy little place. The subject
was talked over and commented upon at
many gathering, but nothing was done
until the ladies, weary OF walking in the

solicited for the laying of board walk
The largest contribution so far has been re-
ceived from the b g. o. Railroad Company,
which donated two-loads of crushed stone
for the crossings The owners of property
and renters cheerfuly helped with money
or labor, and the farmers of the neighber
hood have either contributed money or
promised lumber or work. On the goth OF
February the Board Walk Committee gave
an entertainment and supper, both of which
were we'll attended and things are now In
such condition as to justify the commence
ment of the walk with pretty sure feeling
that it will be finished by Spring. The fol-
