Connecticut Valley Tobacco Market.

Packers and dealers in leaf tobacco
are still riding to find some ignoramus
whom they can frighten and bulldoze to
an extent that they can get his crop for
less than one-half of it's true value, and
they come from far and near, from New
York, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Chicago
and Wisconsin, all intent on buying at
filler and binder rates the hard earned
crops of our toiling workers. They have
told lies enough to damn any one but a
trucking tobacco broker. The intelli-
gent growers are declining offers of II
and Ia cents and the very considerate
buyers are giving from Is to 18 cents,
and will have to pay more in the near fu-
ture.
Our correspondents write as follows:
Whately: "a few sales have occurred
here the past week. John Kennedy sold
at p. t., and Mrs. David Callahan sold
for &c. 1t is thought that no more lots
can be bought at previous low figures. ="
Conway: "A few more sales to report.
The Boyden Bros. sold to Myers for &c
and 13c. assorted. j. Newhall, &c in the
bundle. Only few crops left in town.
Asserting is nearly finished, and turns
out nearly one-half light wrappers"

are caught in the general stampede. A.

unsold." Hinsdale, n. H: Several to-
bacco buyers in town the past week.
They offer to 10c I think the growers
will assort before selling at those prices.
Northampton: Il was at North Hatfield
and went into Myers & Mendelsohn's

tensively at low prices, and must realize
a large profit. Cultivator

anyone
Weak and unhealthy kidneys are responsible for many kinds of diseases,
and if permitted to continue much suffering 0h fatal results are
to toIOO. Kidney trouble irritates the nerves, make you dizzy, rest
less, sleepess and irritable. Makes you pass water during the day, and
oblges you TO get up many times during the night. Unhealthy kidneys
cause rheumatism, gravel, catarrh of the bladder, pain or dull ache in the
back, joints and muscles; makes your head ache and back ache, causes
indigestion, stomach and liver trouble; you get a saNow, yellow complex
ion, makes you feel g slough you had heart trouble; you may have plenty
of ambition, but no strength get weak and waste away.
Swamp.Root is pleasant to take and is used in the leading hospitals,
recommended by physicians in their private practice, and is taken by doc
tors themselves, because they recognize in it the greatest and most sue
cessful remedy that science has been able to compound.
If you are already convinced that s Vamp-Root is what you need, you
can purchase the regular fftycent and one.dolar size bottles at the drug
Swamp Root, DR.. Kilmers Swamp Rot, and the address, Binghamton,
n. Y, on every bottle.

CATCHY OrrERs OF LARGE SALARIES

Let us here and now answer all

NOTES FROM STATE LECTURER Balm.


A Tip In NOr6h9aBter0 North Carolina,
Correspondence OF The Progressive Farmer.
On Monday, the 18th inst, l left
the pleasant home of Bro. G.
G. Waters at Princeton, Beaufort
county, for Moyock, Currituck
county, going by way of Plymouth
and Edenton. When I reached Eliza.
beth City, Bro. Mercer, our beloved
State Alliance Chaplain, came on
train and pleasantly entertained us
until we reached Currituck, where
we found a vehicle to take us out to
his pleasant home with his daughter
and s~on-in-1aw, NJ: and Mrs. James
Lee. On Wednesday morning we
found the earth covered with snow,
but we went on our way TO meet an
appointment at the court house and
yer greeted by a few of the tried
and true brethren there. The even.
ing of the same day we lectured in
Odd Fellows Hall at Coinjock, AND
spent the night in the pleasant home
of Bro. A. Hamilton, who is not
only a successful farmer, but also a
successful stock raiser.
On Thursday afternoon we reached
Powell's Point, but oh how cold it
was-too cold for people to turn out
at night, though a few such true
Allianoemen as Bro. Brook there
met us.
On Friday we returned up the
sound TO Poplar Branch, a landing
on Currituok Sound, where many
ducks and wild geese are packed and
shipped to the Northern markets.
There we were met at night by an
appreciative audience of ladies, gen.
tlemen and children, we spent the
night in the entertaining home of
Bro. Walker, a successful farmer and
enthusiastic worker for the cause of
education in his section.
Saturday morning we found our
selves 'snowed up" and still snow
ing, and we over twenty five miles
from our railroad station. But we,
at intervals, travelled through the
snow until we reached Moyook and
boarded the train there Monday,
came back via Edenton and over to
Plymouth, where we spent the night
with Bro, II. P. Alexander, one of
the old standby Alliancemen of
Washington'oounty. On Tuesday we
came on home. The earth is still
covered in snow here.
Currituok liz the first county we
have visited that has no town in it,
yet they have plenty of we'll TODD
merchants as we'll as farmers. They
are a Christian, temperance people
no liquors are allowed to be manu-
faotured or sold in the county. They
have rich and fertile soils, many we'll
improved farms. Yet one thing
lack they-they have not a single
high school in the county.

A WORD FROM ROCK1HeHAM.

correspondence OF The Progressive Farmer.
l want TO say that think that Mr..
s. M. Rowland is on the right track
when he says that people want rural
free delivery of mails. / think that
any level-headed man would want
his mail brought to his house, unless
he wants an. excuse TO go 30 town or
the postofice The people in this
county have signed a petition fer a
route and we expect TO have it soon.
I see a good deal of talk in THE
Progressive FARMER about the birds.
I don't think that any farmer ought
TO let them be killed. IF every
county had a bird law such as Rock
ingham has, the birds could be pro-
tected. The law here is no man has
the right TO hunt on another's land
without the written permission of
the land owner.
A word for your paper: We de-
cided last night that out of five
papers that we read, THE PROGRESSIVE
FARMER is the best. 1t has less ad-
vertising and more good substantial
reading than any other.

GENTLEMEN In justice to you, L feel it my dut- to send you a &C
acknowledgements of the receipt o the sample bottle of SHanpRoOt, you so
kindly sent he. I had been ut of health for the past five years with
kidney and bladder trouble. Had u best physicians prescribe for me.
They would relieve me for the time being, but the old complaint would in
a short time return again. I sent for a sample bottle of SwampRoot and
found it did me a world of good. Since then l have taken eight small bot
ties, bought at my drug store, and 1 consider myself perfectly cured. It
seemed a though my back would break in two after stopping. I do not
have the smarting and irritation, nor do l have tt get up during the night
to urinate as I formerly did, three ard four *mes at night, but now sleep
the sleep of peace. Ny back is all right again, and in every way I am a
new man. Two of my brother officers r still using Swamp Root. They,
like myself, cannot say too much in praise of it. I'll a boon to mankind.
We recommend it to all who are suffering from kidney and bladder diseases.
My brother officers (whose signatures accompany this letter. as we'll as
myself, thank you for the blessing you have brought to the human race in
the compromising of SwampRoot. We remain,
Yours very truly JAMES COOK,

A PATHETIC INCIDENT.

The New York Mail and Express tells
a pathetic story OF a Syrian immigrant
girl She came TO this country by way
Of Montreal, where her lover, who lived
In Iowa, met her He had, OF course,
sent for her. When she oaile TO her
destination In this country, agents OF
the immigration bureau discovered that
she had sore eyes a complaint very
common IN Syria, and she was pro-
nounced an undesirable lmmigrantand
ordered deported, Notwithstanding the
fact that her lover proposed TO
take care OF her as his wife, She was
sent east, but she leaped from the car
window, while the train was speeding
through Michigan, and thus ended her
career She was instantly killed.
II ls not easy to realize what sacrl-
fees, what efforts these two had made,
in order to reach this country, where,
they hoped, they would for ever be free
from oppression and have a chance to
live happy together, as many OF their
compatriots are doing. 1t Is thereforenot
difficult to understand the despair that
prompted the girl 10 end her llfe'rather
than go back to Syria. But 1t is
quite sure that she could not so back
to her old home without being made
the object Of derision and scorn among
friends and neighbours. The case IL
lustrates the necessity for immigration
officers Of exercising wise discretion in
the administration Of the law, In this
case especially II can be said that a
girl who came here to become the
wife Of a respectable man, ought to
have been permitted to stay even II
her eyes were affected There is no
probability that she would have be-
come a public charge

THE BALKAN TROUBLE,

Whenever there Is no special excite
ment in the world OF foreign politics,
the Balkan states are almost always
sure to furnish text for comment aud
anxious forecasts. The present time
is no exception TO the rule.
Just now the dispatches tell about en-
counters between Turks and Bulgarians.

her OF passes, They have burned a
suburb of MonastIr. The Turksh
troops have mounted sixty guns out
side the town. Albanians In Ochrda
have massacred the Christian inhabit.
ants. Strong revolutionary bands have
marched south Of Monastir and sacked
three villages inhabited by Turks. The
railway from Salonika has been de-
stroyed near the village of KremInitza
Such are the reports from the dis
turhed districts, Adylces from Con-
slantinoplc say that the insurrectlon-
airy movement In Macedonia has not
as yet assumed serious proportions. but
1t is feared that the Turkish methods Of
suppressing H. will exaspcrate the peo-
pie In the various villages and drive

somewhat during the past few days, in
