As USUAL, wheat has advanced
just before harvest time, though il
is higher this year at that season
than it has been for several years,
just twelve-months ago this same
thing happened and we predicted
that the farmer would not be bene-
fitted by the rise. Even so; when
new wheat began to arrive the ex-
pected drop became almost a panicky
tumble to unprecedentedly low fig
ures. 1t will be natural to suppose
that this condition will be repeated.
Although the price of wheat and
corn naturally have advanced, and
should continue to do SO, because of
foreign wars, still the recent rapid
rise owes little to that healthy cause,
but is the product of unhealthy
speculation. This condition promises
little good to the farmer and means
much to the consumer whose flour
has advanced a dollar or more per
barrel.

should be made public.
Professor Hughlett disappeared
June 10, 1898. After every effort to
ind him had been exhausted and his
devoted wife had almost given up
hope the news came that he was alive
and safe.
Eight years before Professor
Hughlett had been elected to the
position of principal and business,
manager of Randolph-Macon Acad-
envy. A few years afterward he
married Miss Kitty Bradbury, typi-
cal Virginia woman in refinement
and culture, a happy match for the
distinguished aud ambitious teacher.
Besides being Il scholar of brilliant
attalnments, Professor Hughlett
had the reputation of being bust

Nobody yet knows how he got

lived extravagantlv aud so far as
anybody knew or knows bad no bad
habits. 1t seems established now
beyond question that he had no
purpose to defraud or wrong anybody.
AT the close of the session of 1897
9S he was $4,000 short and was
unable to make the amount good.
Then be disappeared and all kinds of
theories were suggested.
His father-in-law promptly paid
the amount. Professor Hughlett took
nobody into his confidence. His
wife was left as much in the dark as
anybody, but she never wavered and
refused to believe that there was any
wrong doing on her husbands part
and held to her faith that all would
come out right. 1t is reported that
he found employment in San Fran
cisco and determined not to come
home until he had earned enough
money to meet his obligations, and
that by utilizing every moment of
time and all his talents and using
the closest economy he has gathered
the money together and is for that
reason coming home.
1t is said that professorship in a
Mississippi college has beer Sc

chicago speculator has been con-
victed under the law forbidding puts
aud calls and dealing in options on
grain or other products. If few
sovereign states would follow this
example, not only in respect to flu

an appeal.
