Last spring. in one of his lectures at Cornell

OF such person, whom he met in Western

two miles distant. Iie took the bus, and, while
waiting for his train at the end of his ride,
engaged in conversation with the bus driver,
who was also the bus owner. Professor Powers
asked him If he did not think that some day
the two railroads would consolidate, or at least
use the same station. The idea had evidently

BETTER FEELING
On the Local Tobacco Market
This Week.
Weed in Soft Condition But Offer
ings and Sales Heavier Than
Last Week.

The offerings of the weed on the
breaks this week amounted to near
ly 200 hogsheads and receipts were
500 hOgsheads.
The bulk of tie tobacco was in
soft condition, but on the better
grades there was a little better
feeling on the market, There was
no change in prices on the low
grades of the weed.
Loose tobacco continues to come
into the market, the most of it be-
ing contract tobacco. Much tobac-
co is now being shipped into the
city over both the L. & N. and 1. c.
roads and the cask receipts s-e in.
.creasing every day.
Much Tennessee goods is being
received here. A great deal of the
finest product of Robertson county,
Tenn, is ready for the local breaks
and some top prices may be looked
for in the near future.
Farmers around Elmo, Kennedy
Peachers' Mill, st. Bethlehem and
other points throughout that section
are delivering the weed every
day and rehandling establishments
are rushed almost beyong their ca
pacity. Some houses work unit
after night and the break OF day
finds the street full of wagons wait
ing to be unloaded.
