PRICE OF BROOMS ADVANCED.

Mr.. Il. c. Norman, OF the Norman
Broom and Brush Company, returned
Yesterday from Chicago, where he at
tended a meeting Of the associa ion Of
broom manufacturers OF the United
States and Canada.
At this meeting the price of ordinary
brooms, which manufacturers have been
selling at sl.7j a dozen. was advanced
to SO dozen, and the cheaper grades
were Withdrawn from the market.
Sixty delegates, representing ma
iOri.y of tie factories in America and
some foreign factories, were said to
have been present.
1t is stated that the effect Cf the action
taken will be to advance the price OF
brooms which have been selling for %
cents about cents. After he meeting
there was scramble to buy broom corn
from the dealers who had been await
ing tie rrsult-and sale, were mrde at
from $50 10 300 ton. Last years
prices were iiom $40 20 S60a ton. 1t is
estimated that $500 600 of broom corn
changed hands during the two days
sessions Of the association. The corner

From the above our farmer. can
readily see the money that is in crop
Of good broom corn. While much Of the
broom corn grown in this section IS OF
fair quality, there is good deal that is
almost worthless for broom making, aud
of course cannot BRING much OF IA price.
The cause of this Is not knowing how to
plant and cultivate it ana when TO cut
it. II those who contemplate planting
this valuable crop next season will call
upon Mr.. L. r. KILLER, the well known
Woodstock broom manufacturer, they
can get information that will ia all
probability result in their getting the
best price for their broom corn.

THE COURT HOUSE.

The Woodstock correspondent Of the
R'ehm ond Dispatch in speaking of our
Court House says that "it was erected in
797 and thar the shingles which are of
cypress wood, look as though they
would stand the wear of another CEN
tury."
From the best information, at
hand the building was erected in 1893.
The shingles on the cupola were put on
in 1865. A shell passed through the
side Of the cupola during an engage
ment between the Federsls and Con-
federates. The opening thus made was
closed when the new roof was put on.
The cupola on the Court House is one
of the best proportional which we have
seen and the architect OF the building
certainly understood his business We
sincerely hope that The old building,
which has stood for over a century and
is now i'm good condition may stand for
many generations. it did not cost as
much as some other court houses, but
for convenience and adaptability to the
purposes intended, 1t has not a superior
