The low prices Of tobacco has very
much dispirited the planters OF the
county. The crop put IN this year will
not be as large az usual. 1t is re-
markable fact that the county does not
raise sufficient corn and hay for its
consumption during the year. The
main crop is tobacco, and carloads OF
hay and corn are brought from the West
and sold In the county.
The lumber trade has a black eye.
Prices have fallen, and Me-. W l. Cobb,
one Of the largest operators, thinks is
will 20 lower. About IL mills are IN
operation In the county.

Seminary gave an ice-cream festival on
