Germany's nutter Trada

1t is evident that Germany is in the
future to be good market for butter
and that she will soon cease to be n
competitor in the sale of butter in the
English market. She has in the past
been supplying herself and sending
some butter abroad. But this exported
butter has decreased year by year till
now she is exporting little and import
ing a good deal. Her butter exporters
claim that they find the Canadians and
Australiansto strong to compete with
in the English market; but the truth of
the matter seems to be that the in
creasing demand at home has raised
the level of German prices till it no
longer pays to send butter out of the
country.

A LONG LOST GRAVE.
Remains Of Georgia TROOPER Lo-
Gated in New York After
Thirty-Six Years

A search instituted at the close of
the civil war by Martin Blackburn and
his relatives for the remains of Martin
E. L. Blackburn, a veteran trooper
from Georgia, has been brought to
an end by the location of the body of
the dead soldier in Woodlawn ceme-

during a bloody charge and brought o
Elmira prison camp
In 1864 the soldier was taken i'll with
a camp disease and died. His body was
placed in a wooden box. loaded on the
dead wagon and taken to Woodlawn
cemetery. A guard who had known
Blackburn noticed the dead body. but
thought little of the matter at the
time. The guard was former Postmas-
ter NJ. NJ. Conklin, of city.
During all these years nothing had
been heard of the dead soldier by the
family, until about six months ago,
when a letter arrived in this city adj
dressed TO the postmaster. 1t was
turned over to VI. NJ. Conklin. who
found it TO be an inquiry regarding the
locat ton of the remains of Martin E.
L. Black burn.
Mr.. Conklin examined the charts,
finally finding the mans name and the
location of the grave in Woodlawn.
He sent word to the family in Georgia,
with the result that the grandson,
Martin Blackburn, went to Elmira to
locate the body.
The grave was found and the young
man was so satisfied with its condi-
ton and the manner in which the GEM
etery is cared for that he decided not
to have the body removed. Mr.. Black.
burn announced his intention of hav.
ing marker placed upon the grave.
There. are over 1900 confederate
graves in Woodlawn cemetery. and of
that number only eight bodies have
been removed by relatives. Only two
of the graves bear markers. One of
these is the grave of South Carolina

In some parts of the country it is

least few years hence before the gov
eminent can accomplish the public ir-

desires to work land of this character

THE TOMATOES HISTORY.
From Peru 1t Spread to Spain and
England and Finally to North
America,

The tomato is a native of South
America and more particularly of
Peru and the Andean region. The In
dian name for it is "tumatl' and the
Spanish name tomato" When the
Spaniards arrived in the sixteenth
century they considered nothing of
much Importance except silver. But
in 1888 they took some tomatoes home
with them as a matter of curiosity.
little dreaming that there would some
day be more silver in them than there
was in all the Peruvian mines. There
is a general impression that until 60
or 20 years ago the tomato plant was
universally regarded as a poisonous
weed and that its handsome fruit was
called the love apple" and never
cultivated except as something pleas
ant TO look upon. But this story is
inconsistent with itself. The tomato
was called the love apple for the rea-
son that it was believed to be an
aphrodisiac. or eXcitant Of amorous
feelings. But it could not even be sus-
pected of such a property unless it
had been habitually eaten. The truth
is that there is no record of a time
when in South America the tomato
was not an article of food. There is,
indeed, no record Of a time when it
grew wild. When the Spaniards
reached Peru they found nothing but
the cultivated tomato, which was cul-
tivated for food. They took a fancy
to it and took it TO Spain, from which
place it found its way in 1896 to Eng
land From that country it spread
over the whole of southern Europe and
North America.

Loss will Perhaps Be 100000
Barrel ofPitch Started the Fire
There Was Partial Insurance on Most Of
the Tobacco Burned, But Some Was
Without il.
LOCAL BROKERS WILL LOSE SOME

Later reports Of the burning Of the
big Enterprise tobacco warehouse in
Mayfield yesterday at 1880 show
that the damage and loss is even
greater than at first supposed.
The fire originated from barrel Of
pitch left in the rear Of the warehouse
under shed. Painters had been at
work on the roof and had left the
pitch partially exposed to the sun.
The barrel began to swell and the
pitch to leak out. As Vic Allen, Of
the warehouse, was rolling the barrel
out Of danger the bung came out and
tne pitch ignited spreading in every
direction Allen was burned about
the face and arms and the warehouse
was soon a mass Of flames.
The firemen could do little except
prevent a spread Of the h-e. Out Of a
possible 1900 hogsneads Of tobacco
stored under the shed, only 20 were
saved and these badly damaged. The
total loss will amount to from $780,
600 to si25, 600 as near as can be esti-
mated The warehouse was valued
At about IS, 900 and is a total loss
with no insurance.
The brokers who had tobacco stored
in the building will lose little as most
Of the leaf was insured but about 500, o
900 in leaf will be lost by customers
of the firm Ligon-Allen and Co.
The following brokers held tobacco
with about go per cent insurance: q.
II. warneken, W. B. Kennedy, r. i.
Wright, W. B. Wash. I. ], McClen-
don. Lyon, Allen and Co., Gardner
and Ezell, J. A. Wright and King
Beach and Co.
II is understood that the latter firm
had at least $50, 900 worth of tobacco
burned.
