Sam Leash, boy fourteen years Of
age, tramped into Greensboro about /
p. m. Friday. He went to the court
house and asked a reporter for the
Messenger where he could find the town
ship trustee. He said he was looking for
some person who could aid him to get to
Hardinsburg, where he said bis grand
mother resided He said that his par
ents were natives of Breckenridge coun-
ty, but several years ago removed to
Missouri. His mother, he says, died
first, and about two years ago his father
died. He says he worked since that time
for various persons, but conld mot earn
more than his board and clothes, so he
thought he would try to get back to his
people in Kentucky. He carried small
bag OF old clothes. He was rather shah
billy dressed and wore pair of brogan
shoes without socks. He was a boy of
average intelligence, and says he had
fairly good luck on the trip, although he
had not been fortunate enough to secure
transportation any of the distance. He
was directed to Mayor Small's Office,
but when he was seen later he had not
found the city's chief executive.-Owens-

TOBACCO
REPORT.
A Lot of Statistics Bearing on
This Years Crop.
Information More or Less valuable Con-
corning the Weed.

Total sales OF leaf tobacco on the Louis
vile market during 1898 amounted to
103 G62 hhds against 100 1853 hhds sold
during the year 1897. OF the sales last
year II 1874 were Buriey and 80 128 hhds.
were dark tobacco. 73,03S hhds were of
the 1897 crop, 1907 hhds were 1898 crop
and 22,3l7 hhds we're old crop Total
reflections during 1898 were 2O,51O bids
against 30,9l7 hhds rejected during 1897
Total receipts last week were 69,740 hhds
against 1872 ,420 received during 1897.
Stocks held at that market on ID cnmter
81, 1898, were o 5S7 hhds against 1895
hhds held at close OF 1897. These figures
show that Notwithstanding we started in
to the year OF 1898 with 1885 hhds of
stock on hand and that We have sold
about 300 hhds more of the 1898 crop
than We had sold at the close of last year
OF the 1897 crop, the total sales fell of
about 66 600 hbds. These figures also
show that the stocks held at the close of
the year were thousands of hhds less
than they have been for many years.
All these facts prove that the present
price OF tobacco is much below what the
situation justiies and far below what it
would be if supply and demand con.
troiled instead of trusts and manipula-
ton of the crop by these buyers.
