story of IA Young NaIdostan Who
Ran Away From Home.

Valdosta. Ga, Jan. 30.-One of the larg-
est sales of sea island cotton that has ever
been made here is announced. 1t was
sold by B. F. Strickland & Co. 10 John
Malloch & Co. of Savannah. The sale is
of $500 bales of long staple cotton and
involves about 600. Most of the cotton
of this section in the past has been sold
to Florida parties for shipment TO the
thread mills of New England
Paul Blair The 6-year-old son OF Mr.. l..
c. Blair. caused a sensation here yester-
dav bv leaving home and going to Fargo
on the Atlantic Naldosta and Western
train. The youugster had been hunting
for a position, and had applied to several
merchants here for work He was so
small that none of the merchants could
find a place for him. He determined TO
get a position and asked the conductor
of the west bound Plant System train TO
take him to the next station. He was, OF
course refused so he went to the other
road and took a seat in one of the pas
senger cars determining not TO risk the
chance of being refused again. When the
conductor called for the tickets the little
fellow had none He was carried 10 Fargo
and put there in charge of the hotel Inc
cbild's parents had half of the town hunt
ing for him. and il was finally found that
he had been about the depot. kilograms
were sent 20 all of the towns around, and
a message at 10 o clock night stated that
me boy was at Fargo and would be sent
back by the next train

DRY GOODS.

New York. Jan. 31.-The general condi-
ton of the cotton goods market is good
though there is slight irregulariay In some
directions caused by sellers of unimpor-
tant brands being now DESTROYS of selling.
but this has not affected the status of the
general market, which is well sold ahead.
The depleted condition of the market at
first hands is the principal feature. which
is likely to become intensified as the sea-
son progresses. Buyers are commencing to
arrive in larger numbers and jobbers re-
port an expansion of their trade from day
to day. 1t is believed that business in the
primary market will show decided increase
before long, and in the meantime there
does moi seem TO be any anxiety on the
part of agents concerning the future.
