STRONG REASONS
Why G. A, R. EnCampmant Should be Held
in Marietta in 1902.
Editor Leader:

Editor Leader:
The good people of Marietta are in
favor of holding the State Encamp-
ment of the G. A. r., Womans' Relief
Corps and the Sons of Veterans in this
city in 1902. The city is situated on
the Ohio River at the mouth of the
Muskingum River. 1t was the first per-
manent settlement in Ohio. Was set
tied in 1888 by men who took part in
the Revolutionary war and their de-
scendi4Lts are generally loyal and pat
riotic. A large number of them took
part in the Civil war. The city has
magnificent parks, electric lights and
street cars, has four banks, several
saving and loan associations. furniture
manufactures, glass works, boiler
shops, stove foundry, oil refinery, fom :
ing mills. oil tools manufactures,
planning and saw mills. ice plants, act
i've board of trade. wholesale houses,
three daily papers, etc.
There were over three hundred new
buildings erected last year and there
will be more than three hundred this
year. The commercial travellers claim
it is the best business point of it's size
in Ohio. 1t is the center of an oil
field. There are several thousand oil
wells within fifteen miles of the city
The first oil well in the county was
drilled in 1860 and is still producing
some oil. The people generally have
plenty of money and they are not cross
or stingy with it. The covered way
elevated square and mounds of the pre-
historic race are of interest. Marietta
College is well patronized and amonb
the best west of the Allegheny Noun
tains. We are not going to tell yod
the latch strings of our houses hang
out Ior you, for our houses are not
built that way; but when you come to
the encampmeht you will be welcomed.
A spendid court house is being erected
and we'll try to have a part of it for
headquarters during the encampent ii
we succeed in having it here. Our
country is hilly country. The hills
are especially adapted to apples and
Strawberries. In strawberry season,
one to three carloads are picked every
day, The women folk of Marietta are
experts in making strawberry short
cake, which are good enough for-an old
soldier or anybody else.
The city is reached by the B. & o.
South Western and it's connections
from the southwest part of the State,
by the Toledo g. Ohio Central, Hooking
Valley from the northwestern part of
the State. BY the Ohio & Little IA

The attention of the public is called
to the following companies which have
done or attempted to do some business
in this State contrary to the Bond In
vestment State:
The Tontine Surety Company.
The United States Savings Associa-
tion.
The Badger Boy Gold Mining Com
pany
The Colorado Gold Mining Company.
The Colonial Investment Company.
The State Mutual Life Insurance
Company of Illinois.
The Southern Rent Purchase Society
AS TO CINCINNATI BUILDING AS
SOCIATIONS.
Some distinctions are drawn in the
report between Cincinnati companies
'and those elsewhere located. Atten-
tion is called to the fact that the assets
of Cincinnati companies have decreas-
ed more than two million dollars in
the last year while the other compan-
les have increased more than five mil
lions and that in the past four years
Cincinnati has had a slump of about
twelve millions of dollars. This is at
tributed largely to the Queen City
Companies clingin to premium ami
other repellent features and their fail
ure to adopt the methods of outside
conn anies in the matter of definite con-
tracts and otherwise. 1t appears that

nies charge premium and only 55 per
cent of the outside companies and that
while the outside companies have less

real estate, Cincinnati has more than
nine per cent.
The Inspector thinks that there are
too many associations in Cincinnati
and that saving would be affected by
consolidating some of them. Cincin
natl companies use 1852 per cent. of
their earnings to pay operating ex-
penses while the other companies use
brt 10 per cent.
This report makes it's appearance this
year several weeks earlier than ever
before.

WEEKLY MARKET REVIEW.
Cotton Steady-StOcks Irregular.
Grain Markets Steady.

Cotton Steady-Stocks Irregular.
Grain Markets Steady.
There was not very much doing in
the cotton market, the range being 20
to % points, the lowest on Monday and
the highest on Friday. The early
weakness was the result of big crop
estimates, the later firmness to cold
weather and lighter movement. jan
uary ranged from 7.40c to 7.60c, and
closed at 7.54c, a gain of about 5 points.
A late feature was the relative
strength of the farther positions, the
discount being pretty well recovered.
May ranged from 7.31c to 1850, and
closed at 1880, gain of 10 points.
The movement decreased some so, 00O
bales from the week BEFORE reaching
$4,000 bales, against $4,000 last year.
This year is now about 100000 bales
behind last year, about $4,000 ahead
OF two years ago. and about $4,000
bales behind the corresponding time II.
1898. That year the amount in sight
for the week was $4,000 bales.
Frost has now been general through
all the section where there was any
talk of top crop to amount to any
thing. II killing frost is later than
usual in most sections, the slight diff
ference does not nearly compensate for
the relative lateness of the present
crop.
The bears endeavor to explain the
great falling off in the Texas move
ment, as due to an unwillingness to
accept present prices, which is OF
course nonsense, as no other part o.
the country appears similarly affected,
and Texas is we'll known to be the
cheapest producer Of the whole lot. The
cotton is out, so far there is abso-
lutely nothing in the general move
ment to encourage the belief that the
crop will exceed 100000 bales.
Stocks were firm early, and some
new high records were made. On
Thursday, however, there was a sud-
den and unlocked for break following
the announcement of the terms of the
big railroad combination. A feeble
rally followed, but in most cases prices
leave off lower than a week ago. There
were some important exceptions, espe-
cially the New York fractions, which
rose on very large transactions. Metro
politan was the leader with sensa'
tional advance of about points. Read
ing was another strong feature late In
the week, and among the industrials
Smelling advanced some points.
The money situation latterly looked
more favorable, but the market APP
peared rather listless at the close.
Grain markets ruled rather weak
early, but strengthened later on high
er cables and good export demand.
Wheat recovered its early decline, ana
corn did still better under more conf
dent speculation, but a slightly easier
tone prevailed on Saturday. May
wheat closed NC lower at 76c. Decem-
ber &c lower at 72Ac. Corn closed
about ne higher, May 62Bc. 1t would
seem that the trade is waking up 10
the intrinsic bullishness of the bread
stuffs situation, and wheat especially
offers an unusually inviting opportuni-
ty for profitable investment on all de-
clines. VIM. T. williams.

pare 1t for the table. So 1t went, many
laughing and making sport of "old
man Carsons fortune crop" But not
withstanding, your scribe still stuck by
what he knew to be the truth about
cassava and still raises it for family
use and for cow-feed, though not farm
ing. But one of my old neighbors, on
meeting me at my pillow two months
ago, who was among those who used
TO laugh at me about writing so much
on cassava, spoke substantially as fol-
lows, while telling me about his suc-
cess with cassava and the velvet bean:
Il and Wash" a brother+in law,
were talking the other day about cas-
sava. and / called his attention to hog
much you used to write about II twen-
~ years ago, and what a fool you
made of yourself about It, as some
thought but you were the only man
that knew anything about it.
And" said he, II want 10 tell you
that 1t and velvet beans are two Of the
greatest things in Florida. You see
that mule OF mine there-well, il takes
only five ears OF corn day with cas-
sava and velvet beans to keep him in

more milk and butter than we can use,
while my hogs and chickens keep fat

many eggs before. The fowls eat all
the cassava roots they want"
Last week about thirty bushels of his
fine corn came into Frostproof. and he
with his mule team brought one load
OF it. While here he said TO me again.
II tell you velvet beans are the thins
to improve land. After blowing In ons

Captains of vessels usually allow the
sailors certain amount for their
tailor" while in port, but he is diff
ferent individual to the one that fits
the average man with clothes. The
sailors tailor carries sea boots, over
shoes, oil skin coats, shirts, knives,
pipes, soap, matches, braces, and post
age. A sailor is generally allowed $40
for the tailor. and pursuant to his
nature, he goes the limit, and buys
more if the tailor will extend more
credit. Savannah has establishments
dealing in these things, but the COM
petition between them is nothing like
that at the Gulf ports, where dealers
in their efforts to catch business cruise
far out for incoming ships. The same
is true at New York. An additional
demand for these things is created in
some countries by maritime laws re-
curing masters of vessels to provide
a "slop chest" which in the seaman's
nomenclature, means store room for
cuttings. The reason for this Is
probably to compel vessel owners TO
always have comfortable clothing
aboard for the men, and also in case
of shipwreck.
Trading in clothing is practiced
largely by seamen." said one man.

Shippers to the Levant and South
