7rI5IIE; I0GIH1oas OF q DAY DUIRE1AANH
THE TOBACCO MARKET.

Meeting Col. Geo. b. Hammett yes.
terday morning the reporter asked
him how tobacco was selling. The
response came quick and with force
high
"Are these prices, Colonel, an inci'
dent with the new year, or have they
come to stay
1.-THE result of large demands for
the leaf, and it will likely go higher,
Nothing is likely to retard the upward
tendency of prices until another crop
is pitched Should farmers every
where prepare for very large crop
for 1896 prices would likely be affect
ed. With the ruling prices on the
Durham market there is no reason
why large quantities of the leaf should
not find its way here.
Col Hammett is one of the buyers
for Blackwell's Durham Tobacco Co.,
has been in the business all his life
and knows all about tobacco.

CLAIMED 40 BE 1928 YEARS OLD

From the Pittsburg Dispatch. =
Hiram Lester, supposed to be the
Oldest man on earth, is dead in the
Henry county, Georgia, p%oorhouse
at the age of 1923. He was born in
Raleigh, N. O., eight years before
the birth Of the republic. There is
no question as to his great age, as he
leaves a son 90 years old, who is
an inmate OF the same institution,
and a daughter, who lives in Heard
county, and is 95 years old.
"Uncle Hiram" as he was famil-
iarly known, came from long lived
ancestry. His father lived to be 100
and his grandfather to be 115. The
old man claimed to have enjoyed the
hospitality of George Washington for
three days, and spoke fuently on
the subject of the official acts Of JEFF
ferson, Madison and Jay. He
claimed to have fought in the war of
1912, but he never drew q pension.
He lost three sons In the civil war.
In 1881 he was obliged to take
refuge In the poorhouse. In 1891
he was married to Miss Mary Mosley,
aged 81, the housekeeper Of the
poorhouse.

The great physician had now entered
all the realms OF nature and made her
laws obedient to His divine will. He was
no specialist" In h profession Of medi-
cine and surgery, but all diseases and
physical defects were equally under His
control. He used no medicines or sur
gical apparatus. By the simple word Of
His power all diseases fed and the lame
and blind -apd deaf were made whole.
But He had not yet invaded the dark
realms of death to test His power over
this monster and enemy Of the race.
An opportunity now offered. As He was
entering the city OF Main accompanied by
His disciples and a great concourse Of
people, he met a large funeral procession,
carrying the dead man for interment
outside OF the city gates. Ascertaining
that the dead man was the "only son Of
his mother and she a widow" the COM
passionate heart OF Jesus was touched by
the sight, and the thought Of all that
meant to this broken hearted mother, and
He said unto her, "Weep not" and
touched the bier as a sign for the pail
bearers to halt; for by the Jewish law 1t
was pollution to touch the dead. He
then saids "Young man I say unto thee,
Arise. And he that was dead sat up and
began to speak. And He delivered him
to his mother" That was all. How sim
pie, how easy, how human, how God
Iikei No wonder that "fear came on ALL

AT TWILIGHT.

FROM GOOD HOUSEKEEPING.
hear the sound Of a soft football,
Alaugh that is elm sweet,
A lisping word and a cooling call,
As down the length of the shadowy hall
Falter her baby feet.
She pauses a-tiptoe at the door,
with her bonny eyes ashine.
Her face holds wisdom beyond my store,
And ] clasp her close to my heart once more
With her fair little cheek to mine.
But my arms clasp only the empty air,
The lullaby dies unsung.
I lose the CLEAN of her golden hair,
And the little face, so childish fair,
Ano the lisp OF her baby tongue.
And then 1 remember; she lies asleep,
Her story has all been told,
And whether l wake or whether l weep,
There still is a mystery strange and deep,
Which time can never unfold.
But I sometimes fancy I catch the CLEAN
OF her hair, in the still of the night,
mt the lit of her hand in a pale moonbeamr
Or her eyes meet mine in 4 waking dream
As I sit in the dim twilight.
IT'S then, l fancy, she turns her face
That has grown so heavenly fair,
From where she stands in that shining place
And looks toward me through the starry
space,
With the smile the angels wear.

Bubbles or
Medals.

"Best s~arsaparillas." When you
think of it how contradictory that
term Is. For there can be only one

rilla, as there is one highest noun
tain, one longest river, one deepest
ocean. And that best sarsaparilla is
To-. There's the rubi You
can measure mountain height and
| ocean depth, but how test sarsapa-
rillal You could If you were chem

THE LITTLE COUNTRY PAPER.

THE LITTLE UOUNTRI PAPER.
BY C. L. PHIFER.
1t isn't the biggest paper
That / pounce upon the first,
Nor the one that has most In 1t
That l want to see the worst;
But the little country paper
From the place you used to live
Is most interesting reading
That a fellow can receive.
You read the locals ove
With an eagerness and zest;
It's like shaking hands with people
That you like the heartiest;
And though there's little in them,
Still each name is like a face,
And the past beams down upon you
As the sprawling lines you trace.
You see the home OF childhood,
And the little country store,
And the face of your old sweetheart
In the Inc -embowered door;
And the old school and your playmates
Mingle with the locals read,
Notwithstanding some are married,
Notwithstanding some are dead.
Til, res the forest long departed,
There's the little swimming hole,
And the past crowds in upon you,
Filling mind and eyes and soul;
And the little country paper
Makes life seem more deep and broad
TILL you enter or LIES duties
Better fitted for life's load.

ten cent package of these simple
home dyes, even the novice can dye
a fast and beautiful color equal to

Cloaks, capes and shawls are
readily dyed, so that a faded gar

FOB THE

From the New York Sun.
Beautiful finely woven large round
baskets now come cheap, and after
being guided or painted a delicate
color are exceedingly pretty for
holding palms or large plants.
The handsomest lunch cloths are
made Of fine linen and have deep
border of renaissance lace. Doylies
and buffet covers are also edged with
the same beautiful lace. It washes
we'll and is handsome as long as 1t
lasts.
Common seashore sand will great
ly improve the appearance Of old
velvet and remove all the dust.
Sprinkle the velvet well with the
fine sand and then brush until none
remains, always brushing the pile the
wrong way.
In washing grained woodwork use
clear water or weak cold tea. Where
there are finger marks to be remov-
| ed, such as around the door knob or
on the window sill, a little fine soap
may be used, but only just enough
to do the work, for soap should not
be used on this woodwork II 1t can
be avoided.
New menu cards come in the form
of fruits and vegetables, such as
apples, pears, potatoes, cucumbers,
and lemons. They are colored like
the natural fruits, and the menu is
written on the under eide. The cards
are fastened to a piece Of satin rib
bon, on which is painted the name
OF the guest.
