they want HOMES.

ing at the Courthouse on June I3
County Court day, to consider the
grave situation arising from the
proposed gigantic trust of tobacco
manufacturers.
Are farmers ready to be bound
hand and foot and have ruinous
prices put on their cropsp
The case is just this: The Amer
lean Tobacco Co., a $25, ZOO, 600
concern, is trying to absorb all 9TH
er manufactures of tobacco by
getting them into new and larger
trust to be known as the Continent. t.
al Tobacco Co. and capitalized at
fifty millions.
All the manufactures that
amount to anything have signified
a willingness to go into it save the
Liggett 4 Myers Co., of St. Louis,
and few other concerns. If that
company should enter the combine
no doubt all the others would. The
Iiggett 4 Myers Co. is being Of
ered every inducement. They have
fefused ten million dollars cash for
kheir plant, and insist they will
stay out of the monopoly.
II this company joins the trust
there will no longer be any competi-
lion. The terrible monopoly can
hen say We will give just SO much
FOR your tobacco and no more; the
farmer will be at it's mercy and

\ Furthermore the monster can
Say to the consumer everywhere !:
|"You pay our price for plug tobac-
co, smoking tobacco, &C., or do
without"-and what the price will
be will be q plenty.
1t will thus be seen that it is a
monopoly that can exert its grind
ling power in two directions, with
most disastrous consequences.
At the meeting our farmers
should pass resolutions warmly en-
dorsing the independent companies
for the stand taken, and urging
them to stand firm.
Resolutions calling for legislation
to protect farmers and consumers
from such q monopoly should also
be passed.

Home.

By Lady Cook, nee Tennessee C. Clafiin. ]
Our subject is trite and well-wOrn
one, yet it never wearies and nee-
grows stale. In the hearts of one
race, perhaps above all others, the
word home, among those who have
felt it's real meaning, is associated
with whatever is sweetest and purest
in life. We think of home as the
seat of all gentle influences: peace,
love, happiness, and unselflsh de-
lights. The poets have never tired
Of singing its praises, and one of
them has told us In homely but pa
thetic verse, that "Be it ever so hum
BILE, there's no place like home" But
clergymen, medical men, policemen,
and district visitors could possibly
tell us another tale. Byron wrote:-
"Tis sweet to hear the watch-dOg's
honest bark
Bay deep-mOuthed welcome as we
draw near home;
'Tis sweet to know there is an eye
will mark
Our coming, and look brighter when
we come"
This was patrician poets view.
Burns gives the peasant's:-
"His wee bit ingle, blinkin bonnily,
His clean hearth-stane, his thriftie
wife's smile,
The lisping infant prattling on his
knee,
Does a. his weary carking cares be-
guile,
An makes him quite forget his Ia
bOur and his toll"
To have ones home broken up, to
lose or to be without q home, are
each significant of the greatest mis-
cry that can happen. These extort
the profoundest pity. When Long
fellow writes Of the burning Of Grand
Pre-, he says Of its people, "Friend-
less, homeless, hopeless, they wan
dered from city to CITY," When,
however, he pictures the innocent
and happy Evangeline returning
from Church, he says:-
"HOmeward serenely she walked
with Gods benediction upon her,
When she had passed it seemed like
the ceasing OF exquisite music"
But towards the homeless ones, the
fOrlOrn, the Outcast, and even those
whose follies or vices have brought
them to this condition, the poets, in
terpretlng its own heart to humanity,
have been infinitely tender. Kirke
White wrote poem of nine stanzas
on "The Prostitute":-
"Destined to pamper the vicious
| ones appetite:.
Spurned by the beings who lured
thee from innocence:
Sinking unnOticed In sorrow and In
| digence;
Thou hast no friends, for they with
thy virtue fed;
Thou art an Outcast from house and
from happiness;
Wandering alone on the wide worlds
unfeeling STAGE"
And then contrasting the lot of the
once innocent girl with that Of her
heartless seducer, he concludes
"Now he perhaps is reclining on q
bed of down;
But II a wretch like him sleeps In
seSsGG:sity seSsG
God Of the red, ghfmmAWss,errss W. ers :. :.
Thy .hUrdcrbo't?"

TOBACCO REPoRr.- EXPRESSLY
FOR The OUTLOOK BIT j. S. PHELPS &
Co.. PLANTERS WAREHoUsE.--Lou-
isville, May 7th, 1S9S.-The total
auction sales in our market for the
week ending today amount to l, ,237
hhds. OF these, $50 hhds. were
from the last crop. We cannot see
any decided change from last weeks
prices. We sold some good to fine
crops from Henry and Franklin
counties at prices ranging between
$l2 and $3.50 all around. The
highest price paid was $19.75 per
hundred. This was for q smooth,
clear red leaf from Henry Co. We
think the heavy-bodied fillery to-
baccos when in good condition
probably sold a few bids better
than last week; the thin. bright
sorts and all kinds In doubtful Or
der, a few bids lower.
Our market was less active for
Old Burley this week. Common
grades in bad order, that have been
selling around IS, seem TO US de-
cidedly lower. The better grades
when in good condition sold well
/ up to $40 and $11 above that price
the demand was very limited.
The offerings of Dark were more
liberal this week, and at times pri.
ces seemed a little better for com.
mon leaf. The demand still con.
Itinues good for the long tobacco
suitable for rehandling at the prices
that have ruled for the past thret
Ior four weeks. Common lugs anc
trashes still sell very low.
