BIRMINGHAM, Ala, Nov. 49,
John Willingham, prosperous young
farmer of Walker County, was to have
been married last night to Miss Lille
Brown, of Oakman. Invitations for
the marriage were issued three weeks
ago and elaborate preparations had
been made for the wedding, which it
was expected, would be one Of the
swellest social events of the year in
that section, as both families are
prominent and wealthy.
Willingham, who resides at Berry,
Is miles from Oakman, drove across
the country with four friends to Oak
man yesterday, arriving half an hour
before the appointed time. He found
all apparently ready and 200 guests
assembled, An elaborate feast had
been prepared.
But when a servant went to the
brides room to notify her of the ar
rival of her intended, she was miss
ing. Investigation developed thefact
that just an hour before, she had left
the house and met James Echols, an
other lover, and eloped with him to
Jasper. Willingham and friends then
recolleeted having passed a couple
driving hurriedly northward in bug
gy, the young woman wearing veil,
but he had paid no heed to them.
They proved to be his truant bride
and Willingham's successful rival.
No effort was made to intercept the
elopers, and they were married last
night at Jasper. Despite the disap-
pointment, the wedding supper was
served to Willingham and the assem-
bled guests. The affair caused SEN
sation at Oakman.

same way with many million dollars

vouchers for money paid out, and so
it would not do to burn them. Be-
sides, it is constantly necessary to re-

to see if one or another has been paid
in due form and to the proper person.
Occasionally signatures for money or,
ders are forged, and an Investigation
into the matter may be required years
later. Three hundred duplicates fol-
lost orders are issued by the depart
ment every day on an average. The
queer ways in which such papers are
lost would furnish material for whole
library of romances.

threadbare clothing will appeal far
more strongly to all right-minded per-
sons than would perfectly new cos
tune, since it betokens feeling of
self-,espect in the wearer that COM
pels respect from others also. The
one objectionable SIP in man or Wo-
man, no matter what their necessities,
is untidiness and uncleanliness, since
water is free to all, and the failure to
use it is an infallible sign of coarse
ness and slovenliness incompatible
with refinement Of feeling. AS per-
sonal habits with regard to these
things are almost always acquired in
youth, parents cannot be too particu-
lar in requiring attention to neatness
in dress and person from their chill
dren. Many good chance to get on
in life has been lost by the boys who
apply for situations doing so with un-
tidy clothes and unwashed face and
hands. Few employers are unobserv-
ant Of these tokens Of personal care
lessness. and they are apt to associate
with them the idea of carelessness in
morals as we'll
Children at school are often martyrs
to mistaken notions on the part OF
their mothers on the subject of
clothes. One mother thinks it does
not much matter what her boy wears
at school so long as his clothes are
clean, and she therefore insists on his
wearing suits that he has outgrowr,
and that have been laid away for some
months until they have lost all SEM
blance Of ever having belonged to him.
Nothing gives child such an awb:-
ward appearance as clothes he has out
grown, and if he is at all sensitive his
consciousness of the misfit makes him
shy and uncomfortable. On the other
hand, it is still worse to over-dress a
boy, through the mistaken idea that
what looks pretty on the stage will be
becoming to him. Long curls, huge
frilled collars and cuffs and velvet
suits may be proper for little Lord
Fauntleroy, but by the time Jack
Smith has finished a game Of foot ball
or leap frog the collars and cuffs are
not in o. nice condition for a walk
home through the principal street Of
town. TO scold him for soiling them
is stupid, since the child that must
always take care not to soil his
clothes lis simply miserable among a
lot of other boys who are enjoying
boyish games. Give him we'll fitting,
plain clothes and let him have a good
time In them.
After all, in matters of dress, one
cannot improve much on old Poloni-
us's advice to his son:
"Costly thy habit as thy purse can buy,
But not expressed in fancy; rich not
gaudy;
For the apparel oft proclaims the man."
AS in most things happy medium
is best between Indifference to dress,
on one hand, and over-thought con-
cerning it on the other. So far as
ones means allow, one should dress
in accordance with ones station in
life, and with due regard to the occa-
sions for which the clothes are in
tended. If a friend invites one to his
house on any festive occasion it is an
insult to his hospitality not to dress
suitably, and it is in equally bad taste
to visit house Of mourning arrayed
in the colors Of the rainbow, but a
person who has tact seldom errs in
these matters. .-NeacS and Courier

California TOBACCO.

A considerable amount of interest
has been aroused during the past year
in the subject of tobacco culture in Cal.
ifornia. That tobacco may be sue.
cessfully raised in the State has been
known for many years The climate
and soil of California are eminently
adapted to the growth and curing OF
tobacco. Long seasons of dry and
even temperature give the clop ample
time to mature, while absence of fogs
and rain during the months of August,
September and October, permits
thorough curing before rains. We
have to guard against too rapid evapor.
alton. This can be done in an adobe
curing house.
Tobacco is much like fruit in labor
involved, and returns realized. While
one has not so long to wait for re.
turns. its results depend quite as much
upon acquired skill and attention to
details. We send out vast amount
OF money for tobacco every year that
should be paid to California growers.
In this production we have climate,
soil, and more than 1000 miles of
transportation i'll favor of producing
enough to meet home demands. id.
Culp, of San Felipe, Mr.. Duncan of
Gilroy, and Edgar Briggs of San Fran
cicso have each accumulated great
fund of valuable experience in local
production of this staple. The best
tobacco lands in California can be
had at 800 per acre, while those in
Connecticut and Pennsylvania bring
$500 to $500. BESIDES this, ours is
virgin" soil, while they need to apply
large amount of manure per acre to
insure crop.
Joseph w. Curtis of San Bernardino
has an exhibit of fine tobacco at the
Chamber Of Commerce. He raised two
acres of tobacco last year, of Connecti-
out leaf, which he cut twice. The
first cutting was the largest and heav.
lest tobacco that Mr.. Curtis had ever
seen growing, although he is we'll ac-
quainted with the tobacco regions of
the East. He had 1000 pounds of
tobacco ready for market. The second
cutting was only one.third as much
as the first. He also planted some of
the Yellow Prior variety, but it was
planted late, and he scarcely got any
crop from it.
Mr.. Curtis believes that before long
California will occupy the position
that Cuba has hitherto held as a tobac-
section.

Price of Grain Bags.

Within the past few days there has
been great jump in the price of
grain bags, and the top figures are far
from reached yet, says the S. F. Call.
The Pacific Coast usually consumes
about 100000 grain bags. Last
year five sailing vessels from Calcutta
arrived on this Coast laden with about
$1,000, 900 bags. Two of these vessels
landed at Portland, Oregon, and three
at this port.
This year but three vessels are to
arrive laden with grain bags, and they
will not carry over $4,000, 900 bags.
As stated, the average annual con.
sumption is about 5000, 900. The
shortage will have to be made up by
shipping by steamer, which comes
high. On the sailing vessels the
freight is $3.50 per ton of two bales,
each bale containing 1000 bags, but on
the steamers the freight amounts to
$40 per ton or for 5000 bags. The
difference will, of course, be added to
the cost of the bags and the farmers
will have to stand it.
The Board Of State Prison Directors
is fully aware of this condition of
affairs, and it has not been slow to take
advantage of the market. Early in
January lot of 10000 bags were
offered at $4.65 spot cash. as the
Directors wanted to raise some money.
At that time there was no great init
nation of danger and the sales were
small. About February 18th the
Warden was authorized to sell l,00O,-
900 bags at $4.75. 1t did not take
long to dispose of the 1900, 900 at that
price.
At the meeting of the Board recent
ly the price was jumped to cents, or
80 per hundred in lots not to exceed
10000 to legitimate farmers or grain
growers. The quantity to be sold is
limited to 100000 bags. At present
there is about 100000 grain bags in
bond at San Quentin, and by July or
August this number will be increased
by 100000.
