WEEKLY PAPERS.
(FROM NEWsPAPERDOM, NEW YORK
CITY,

Certain trade papers are continually
telling US that the weekly has declined.
Only last week writer who should
have known better, said: "The weekly
is doomed. Why, we have no prosper
GUS country weeklies any more. They
have passed the other way" What
rot! What little knowledge really
possessed on the subject! What is the
reason for all this knocking? Surely it
is for some purpoSe-thiS cry on the
''passing of the weekly" It is unjust,
it is unnecessary and it is unlogical
The country weekly was never more
prosperous than right now. 1t will be
even more prosperous ten years from
now. A good weekly has bright fu-
ture. The happy-go-lucky affair will
become a rarity. Just as the smaller
daily has developed into strong inan-
cial project, so will the weekly. Many
weeklies have "got there" already.
We can name many weeklies which
are business propositions from head
rule to foot slug; some weeklies which
are making the proverbial "dough."
And which? Read these" News
paperdom then gives a list of leading
weekly papers in every state in the

MISS EMMA FRANCES TERKILL.

MISS EMMA FRANCES TERKILL.
Died, Friday, July II, Miss Emma
Frances Terrill, after months of suffer
ing from chronic throat trouble
terminating in heart failure
A true Christian is at rest
Miss Terrill was young woman noted
for her devotion to the services OF
Trinity church, of which she was a
sincere communicate. For many
years she was in the church choir and
until i'll health came upon her was
rarely absent from its services. Her
usefulness in and devotion to her own
home stands out as d strong and com
mendable feature of her character.
Miss Terrill's abiding interest in and
faithful work for the NeWtOwn
Library Association should not 60 I'M
recorded. For many years she acted
as secretary of the association and in
the struggling days of the society
was one of the few comprising tn.
quorum at the annual meetings.
Thus faithful in the ordinary RESPONSE
bilities of life, and recognizing her
duty to the public, it may be we'll said
of her, "She hath done what she could"
Miss Terrill was born September 5,
1859, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs W.
L. Terrill. Beside her mother, Mrs
Hannah Terrill, she is survived by
Miss Ella j., Frederick A. and Reuben
B. Terrill of Los Angeles, CAL; William

cured. The crop was stripped and pre-
pared for market in good condition
but the buyer refused to pay more
than IL cents per pound at delivery
time, naming that figure after nearly
all the bundles had been received into
the warehouse. The farmer had spe-
cial need of the money to meet pay
ments due to creditors. He knew that
if he carried his crop back home he
would be unlikely to find another GUS
toner for it within the near future
and he could not afford the cost of sort
ing and packing it him self. He pro-
tested against the reduction but final
ly accepted the II cents per pound.
This sort of thing has been done over
and over again and rarely has farmer
hao1 the gtit and the cash to maxi. i
fight and force the tobacco buyer GO
keep his contract. This object lesson
ought to be needed and the farmers
would do well to force buyers to keep
their contracts. A little wholesome
fight on the part of the farmers is
what is needed to protect them
against injustice.

A case of great Importance to the to-
has just been decided in the United
States Circuit court for the district of
New York. To the New Haven Lead
er The BEE is indebted for an interest
ing review of the case. The suit in
question is the outcome of transac-
tion in 1901. H. S. Chapman & Co. on
August 5 of that year sold to the Syra-
cuse Cigar and Tobacco Co. their crop.
then in the field. An iron-clad con-
tract was entered into and So 900 in
cas- h was paid to bind the bargain.
John Sullivan acted as agent for H. S.
Chapman & Co. The agreed price was
23c a pound in the bundle. After the
crop had been cured, stripped and bun
died, the buyers refused to accept it
when consigned to them and demand
made. On January II, 1902, H. S. Chap.
man & Co. sold the crop at public auc,
ton to L. P. Bissell & Co. for 15ac pei
pound, the conditions being stated. A
suit to recover the $4,000 was then in
stituted by the Syracuse company, ano
a counter suit was entered by Chap
man & Co. to recover the difference be
tween l51c and 23c pound.
The case was heard in the United
States Circuit court for the northern
district of New York. A referee wa!
eventually appointed, and H. S. Chap
man & Co. are now Informed thai
So, $50 in addition to the $1,000 frs
paid, has been allowed them. Thi
may be considered expensive for thu
Syracuse parties, as the matter ha'
cost them apout SIS, 900, and Bissell &
Co. of Suffield have the tobacco.
The news of this suit and it's salts
factory result to the plaintiff has been
read by the tobacco growers Of Con-
necticut with special interest because
many of them have been victimized by
buyers who, having promised to pay {
certain price for a crop, have resortet
to the docking process at deliver,
time. AS an illustration we cite thu
experience of a farmer who sold his
crop for Is cents per pound in the
bundle, the purchase being made
while hanging on the poles after it wa
