There are about one million or eight
hundred thousand bushels of Spanish
peanuts raised in this country. 1t Is a
very profitable crop and has been grown
largely in Halifax and the adjacent
counties. Last year the penitentiarE
authorities grew about 100000 bushels
on the Halifax farms. The farmers OF
that county complain that inasmuch as
the demand for peanuts is limited. the
production of the immense crop by the
penitentiary has resulted in reducing
the price about ten cents bushel
have delegation now in Raleigh to ask
the Legislature to direct the penitentiary
next year not to grow Spanish peanuts,
the price OF which cannot be depressed
by the large crop grown on the peniten-
liary farms. The delegation is composed

Great Coal figures.
people.

A statement Just issued concerning
the production and consumption of
coal and the number of persons en-
ployed in coal production in the
principal countries of the world
during a number of years past,
shows that the coal industry in the
various countries is growing.
1t is seen that the amounts produc-
ed in 1900 were in all cases greater
than in the preceding year, the in
crease in the production ofthe United
States being noteworthy, proving as
it does that the last two years the
production of the United States has
exceeded that of the United King
dom Of Great Britain, while the pro-
duction of Germany represents less
than one-half, and that of Belgium
and France together less than
quarter of that of the United States.
The total production amounts to
something like 65O,O0O,OO0 gross
tons per annum, for which Great
Britain and the United States to-
gether account for nearly three
quarters. AS to the value of the
coal at the pits mouth, figures for
1900 are said to show: $3.50 for
Great Britain, $2.4O for France and
Belgium, $1.86 for Germany and
ST 20 for the United States (presum-
ably soft coal only.
The countries which export coal in
excess of the amount they import
are Great Britain, Germany, the
United States, Belgium and Japan,
and the coal producing countries
which import coal in excess of the
amount export are Russia, Sweden,
France, Italy, Spain and Austria. By
far the largest tonnage under this
head being France, which imports
thirteen million and exports perhaps
two and one-half million tons.
y The consumption of coal in the
United States surpasses that of Great
Britain or any othercountry, though
reduced to per capita, it is not so
large as that of Great Britain.
1t is said that the quantity of coal
consumed for locomotive purposes
by the railway companies in Great
Britain was eleven millions tons last
year; in France it amounted to six
million tons, and for the United
States it is safe to say that the
amount was forty million tons.

DEATH OF MRS. SARAH HUBBARD.

Mrs. Sarah Hubbard, aged 70, who
had been in poor health a long time,
died at the residence of her son last
Wednesday morning. Size had been at
her daughters, Mrs. Jonas Thompson s,
in Morrisville, several weeks, but was
brought home about week ago, think
ing the change to the old home would
be beneficial to her. Every thing that
kind care and medical aid could do for
her was done but to no avail. Mrs
Hubbard was the youngest child of the
late Robert and Judith Campbell. She
was born in Bradford, N. H. In 1854
she married Alvin Hubbard, (who died
in the spring of Ieoo,) and they at once
located on the farm they have lived on
so long and now occupied by their son

Maryette, wife of J. Q. Perry, of Jeffer-
sonville; Grace, wife of Jonas Thomp-
son, and Andrew. Two brothers, Robert
P, of Barre; Calvin E., of this place,
and sister Mrs. Rebecca Boynton of
North Carolina, survive her. These
are all that now remain of family of
thirteen. Mrs. Hubbard was a woman
of excellent character and in her were
found all the attributes of loving wife
and mother and a true woman. She
was kind friend and a good neighbor
and many are those who will miss her.
The funeral took place from her late
home Friday morning, Rev. Ma Hager
of Hyde Park, officiating. The singing
was by Mr.. and Mrs. +. G. Sherwn
Mrs. P. G. Blake, with Miss Berthe
Hunt as organist. The bearers were J.
Q. Perry, Jonas Thompson, Andrew
Hubbard and Geo. Campbell. Albert
Whitcomb acted as funeral director.
The attendance was very large and The
floral tributes from friends at home and
abroad were exceedingly fine. The
burial was at the Center Cemetery.
CARD OF THANKS 1T is our desire to thus
express our sincere thanks for all the many
kind acts and expressions of sympathy, the
gifts of flowers and the presence of friends and
neighbors during the sickness, death and burr

Dear, because was born and bred
And through sweet childhood days was led
Past youth to manhOOd-then away
To fight life's battles day by day.
There is no place that love or know
That's half so dear as the Town of stowe.
Dear, because there are friends, cen now,
AS under the canopy Of heaven ] bow,
Whose voices | seem to know and hear
AS when together in byGone year
we told our stories and laughed and S ng
And wondered why partngs should ever come.
There is no place that love or know
That's half so dear as the Town Of Stowe.
Sweet memory bring back to me once more
From out the past thy hidden store
Of all that made life so sweet to live
Is 1t too much to ask, too much to give ?
so friends can meet and from distance greet
Those that are left for Old Home Week."
There is no place that love or know
That's half so dear as the Town of Stowe.

All honor to Stowe for a successful
Old Home Week celebration. Many
former residents took advantage of
the occasion to spend the week at

one of the pleasantest events in the
history of the town is recorded.

The total production of cigars in
this country for the fiscal year ending
June 80, 1901, was upwards of
5000, O00,0 o0-the largest quantity
ever produced in twelve months
since the industry was founded.
The previous heavy year was 1892,
when production reached 4, 0,00O,-
900. According to the statements
of those heavily interested in the
business, and who are students of
present tendencies, production is not
likely to even fall below 100000
600. in a year, and the chances are
that before 1904 the annual produc-
ton will have increased to 6,000,-
100000. The amount expended on
cigars is enormous and would keep
many family well supplied with
the necessaries of life. But those
who know, say there is great deal
of comfort in a good cigar to many
an individual while the revenue deriv-
ed from the cultivation of tobacco
and the manufacture of cigars is
large and makes an industry that
gives employment to thousands of
people.
