AoldenvllIs as a Fur Market.

One has naturally learned to include
cotton, corn, garden produce, hay,
wood, stone and cattle as among the
wealth yielding resources of this To-
cality, but fur is seldom looked upon
as an important factor in local com
merce. In conversation with r. b.
Collum, a local fur man recently from
Tennessee, some new light was
thrown upon the subject OF furs as a
revenue yielding source at this point
Mr.. Collum bought last week about
400 pieces, Is of which were deer
hides He pays out something like
$500 a week for furs Last Saturday
about $2,5O0 worth we're shipped from
here. The catch Of one man, w. II
Nein. amounts to $129.3S up to the
present.
The native furs include coon, opos
sum, skunk, wild cat, wolf, fox, deei
and civet. There is probably
monthly average of $4,000 paid out fol
furs marketed here and bought at sur
rounding towns by local dealers
Conclusion can be arrived at as to the
revenue producing value of furs TO thu

Proposals for Reforms In Macedonia Are

Vienna, Feb. 23.-It is reported that
the Macedonian leader, Boris Sarofoff,
has organized within the past fort
night several well equipped Bulgarian
bands in Macedonia, each consisting Of
about $50 men.
The Neu Freie Presse learns that
1000 Macedonians are concentrated
near the celebrated Ria monastry,
.orty miles from Sofia, and are prepar-

the Turkish province of Sores.
There is an unconfirmed rumor that
he Albanians have attacked the Rou-
manian consulate at Mitrovitsa, Tur-
key, twenty-miles northwest of Prish-
tina.
Constantinople, Feb. 23.-The Aus
trian and Russian ambassadors pre-
sented Saturday to the grand vizier
Identical memoranda embodying the
demands for reforms in Macedonia.
They afterwards acquainted the for
aign minister of the step taken. This
course was adopted to give the pro-
ceedings semi-official character.
The chief proposal made in the
memoranda Is the appointment Of an
inspector general for three years with
ample powers to act independently
and to requisition troops in case Of
emergency.
The plan also provides for the re-
organization of the gen d'armerie and
poLce under European instructors, for
the administrative and financial re-
forms and for more equitable collec-
ton Of taxes.
These reforms do not affect the sui

mans.
