Connecticut Valley Tobacco Market.

1t has been my pleasure to look at
some of the best Havana tobacco today
that I ever saw, and this in spite of the
cry of the croakers who were berating
the crop all last spring; sit was so late,
a crop: SO wet and cold that it would be
late in being harvested, and so on. But
Notwithstanding the predictions of the
wise ones, we shall see the heaviest crop
of tobacco put into the barns that has
been harvested in decade at least. 1t
is whole and perfect from the bottom
filler leaf to the stop" not hole eaten
by worm or hopper, at least on many of
the pieces, and as yet, no broken backed
leaves hanging dragging all over the
fields. 1t takes sunshine, shower and
rain, with cool and warm weather to ma
ture crop of tobacco, at least, and when
we get these essential elements furnished
by the Creator, and we put on plenty of
fertilizer, and use elbow grease on the
hoe handle, and be faithful with our
work, we generally get good, fair crops.
Our correspondents report as follows:
Feeding Hills, Mass: Tobacco is look
ing fine and cutting has commenced.
The hailstorm last week Monday ruined
many crops in the adjoining towns Of
Southwick and Long Yard. Two crops
were injured somewhat at Feeding Hills;
one of nine acres belonging to the Tay

am for the good of our country and
In favor of our PEOPLE, the pros
perity of both, having honest and
good officers to run our public affairs
and that will with sincerity and cam
dor study the interest of the people
in every avocation of life to the ex-
tent that every branch of industry
will proceed without being so cor
rupted by men of money power that
cares for only their own selfish ends,
and my dear fellow citizens, when
we, as the power of nation, turn
our minds in the direction of inter-
est of our country's cause to the ex-
tent that we as the only power can
drive out the demon of selfish greed
and alleviate the oppression of a
people who are crying with the weight
of such burdens as they individu-
ally can't shake off. Let us come
as the only power and by our votes
al the ballot has raised the burdens
and brought relief to a distressed
people by voting men into office who
have clear conception of what his
duty to his country and fellow citi-
zens is, who with good faith put
him in the Office and give in his
hands to see that all things were
done for the good of the people and
not to his own self's use. Beware of
those who are only seeking office for
the gains there is in it; now it is
my opinion that it is high time the
old banner state of Texas was COM
ing to the front to the extent that
she put in nomination some of her
noble, worthy and tried sons for the
presidency. And it is my candid
opinion she could never make bet
ter choice for president than our
worthy ax-oovernor Hooo He - as
grand and honorable "a man as ever
trod Texas soil. He is tried and
true as far as be has attained; a
man with the interest of the people
at heart and would forfeit his life
before his honor. Such men, gem
tlemen, are the ones for our offices.
And for vice-president / would NOM
mate Congressman Beall, who is q
noble, tried ard true citizen OF Ellis
county, one who is worthy the hon
or of the office. Now let us rally to
our country's cause and bring
men in office who will care for the
welfare of his country and people
instead of his own selfish desires.
Hurrah for Hogg and Beall

Residence RansaCked.

The residence of ex-County Com
missioner h. e. Lancaster, in Ar
lington Heights, was entered one
night this week by burglars and
ransacked from cellar to garrett.
Things were turned topsy-turvy,
but the only article missed so far is
double barrel shotgun. An an
successful attempt was made to
break into a small iron safe which
contained jewslry and some valu-
able papers. The house was not
occupied at the time of the burglary.
Mr.. Lancaster has been in the In
dian Territory some time and Mrs.
Lancaster is at Hot Springs under
going treatment for rheumatism.
The house was left in charge of
their daughter, Mrs. w &. Rocket,
who lives next door. Mr.. and Mrs.
Rocket say it will be impossible to
tell how much was stolen from the
house until Mr.. and Mrs. Lancas-
ter return.

Shows Increase In Earnings.

The stockholders OF the Waxa-
hachie Cotton MIL held their annual
meeting at the court house yester-
day afternoon. The purpose Of this
meeting was to elect board of d.

FL. d. Timmons and ID. q. Thomp-
son.
The directors will probably hold a
meeting Saturday afternoon for the
purpose of electing annual officers.
The financial report of the man
agement shows the affairs Of the
mill to be in excellent condition.
In spite of the high price which had
to be paid for q good deal of the
cotton the mill was operated the
past year at handsome profit, the
net earnings being Is 6-i0 per cent.
This amount will not be paid as a
dividend, but will be used in adding
improvements to the plant. The
mill now has on hand a suffi-
cient supply of cotton for an aver
age run until the opening OF the
next season.
The report of the management
covering the year just closed shows
an increase in the net earnings over
the year before, fact which is very
gratifying to all who are interested
in the eIprise. Mr.. K. A. Du-
Bose, the manager, has been re-
niarkably successful in the manage
ment of the mill and has made it
one of the most profitable mills In
the state.

Crane favor the ratification of the
Panama treaty now pending before
the senate, giving the United States
exclusive right to construct a canal
across the isthmus. Judge Reagan
says that if a member of the senate
he would vote against it, holding
that the administration acted
wrongfully in recognizing the new

All indications are that the treaty
will be ratified, although a majority
of the democratic membership may
BE registered against it.
