at the peanut market Wednesday n
well known manufacturer when cues
toned as to the reported advance in
cleaned nuts said that there was no
change in quotations. That certain
gentlemen who had more stock than
they wished to carry were cutting the
market to unload. He also stated that
there are no cleaned peanuts in Nor
folk.
Yesterday gentleman who buys
largely. said that he is prepared to sell
10000 bags and that If anybody doubts
his statement he is prepared to show
the goods. He says his nuts are of the
best quality and that he is not anxious
to unload unless he can get all they
are worth.
1t is certain the report that the fac
tories would go into the hands of a
trust. stimulated the market and many
tobbers bought largely during the
months of December. and there will be
little life III the market till these goods
are disposed to the retail trade.

either in the North or South, you will
find the veterans assembled, and they
sing once more together the old camp
songs OF 1861 and 1865. 'Tis too much
Tor mortal lips to speak the records of
those who wore the Gray. The man
has not yet been born who can tell of
their deeds. courage, motives. con-
stancy and ambition, of their fight for
constitutional liberty, the great birth
right of every American, the principle
that never dies. Time has changes

ciple lives forever. And after the war
was over they returned to their homes
the homes that they had left four
years before. when all was happy;
when the beautiful Southland was the
fairest spot in the country-and found
all desolate and blackened. What are
their achievements?
They came home and irrespective of
the fact that they had lost all, that
their business and fortunes were gone,
that they had not n cent in their
pockets; irrespective of the fact that
they had all to contend against, they
set TO work and built IN the South
