cotbran a Co.'s Market Letter.


We seem to be having one OF those dead
| locks such as existed between s1tc and
| sNc.
The market works between 1ohc and
1o1hc, and the change In prices furnishes
no evidence of the next move. We have
not seen so little business in weeks as
there was this morning. No one cared to
buy or sell. The Liverpool market adj
vanced a point or two and held dull but
steady.
Receipts were large, weather good and
the spot demand fair. In fact the spot
demand was better than the demand for
futures.
This is as 1t should be to buy cotton on
breaks. There is more cotton coming in
every day. but there Is alo a lot wanted.
Europe seems intent upon buying
enough to render them independent of
manipulation later on.
A better domestice demand can be ex-
pected later ON.
A good authority has just been in New
England. He says spinners would buy
any quantity OF cotton at 91sc. This is
spot cotton. We do not see much to sell
short on at 10Ac In New York. Under
these conditions buy on breaks for a
while.
Wheat-The improved prospects and
larger movement In the northwest with
Liverpool heavy started selling that
brought about liquidation, the market be-
Ing full of stop-orders, and declines were
Of character to amount to landslide.
There was some local buying at times,
but offerings were extensive through
common houses the spring wheat market
up north were demoralized, and about
the only support that appeared was COW
ering by shorts. who were unable to stem
the tide, however, and the futures closed
heavy, all round the bottom prices. The
old bull crowd may extend support and
rallies may appear, but we doubt II they
can be sustained. and would favor sales
on hard spots. as we believe the market
legitimate basis.

Theft of Melons Led to Tragedy,

John May was shot and almost
instantly killed Tuesday morn
ing by Benjamin Harland, near
Ravenscroft, near the boundary
line between Putnam and White
counties.
Harland had been missing
melons from his patch and it
seems accused May of having
been one of a party who had TAX
en- q number some time before.
May denied the charge, and last
Saturday went to Harland's
home and abused his little son,
and proceeded to make threats.
Not being satisfied with this he
went back Tuesday morning and
began abusing Harland himself,
who went to the rack, took down
a double barreled shotgun and
emptied one load into Mays
breast. The shot took effect
near the heart. He walked
about twenty steps and fell dead.
This is the ninth killing that
Il
has occurred in this county with
in a year, and not single man
is now in jail on any of the
charges, although number are
out on bond.
In this case it is alleged that
Harland was in no way to blame,
and that he shot May in his own
yard, while the latter was abus-
ing him and would not leave
when told to.

the most prosperous that this
town has ever had. Previous to
this year business at this place
has been rather dull. The inn
provement in business can be at
tributed to several causes. The
establishment at this place of a
branch produce house has caused
a large amount of produce to be
brought to this market. The es
tablisment of u large lumber
yard has resulted in making this
town the largest lumber market
on the river east of Nashville.
There is also a tobacco factory
which has a trade that extends
from Indiana on the north, to
Alabama on the south, and west
as far as the Mississippi River.
There is also a department store
here that has a trade which
reaches all the upper counties.
The outlook for the coming year
is very encouraging, and every
one feels that there are yet bet
ter things in store for this town
in the near future.
Mrs. Grundy. (Tracy City, Tenn.) 1903-1930, 1904-08-25
do it To-day"

The time-worn injunction,
rNever put off It'll tomorrow
what you can do today" is now
generally presented in this
form: "Do it to-day" That is
the terse advice we want to give
you about that hacking cough or
demoralizing cold with which
you have been struggling for
several days, perhaps weeks.
Take some reliable remedy for
it to-day--and let that remedy
be DIR. Boschee's German Syrup,
which has been in use for over
thirty-fve years. A few doses
of it will undoubtedly relieve
your cough or cold, and its con-
tinued use for a few days will
cure you completely. No matter
how deep-seated your cough,
even if dread consumption has
attacked your lungs, German
Syrup will surely effect cure
as it has done before in thousands
of apparently hopeless cases OF
lung trouble. New trial bottles

One of the pretty incidents

Gonce Murder Case on Trial at
Winchester.

A great deal of interest has
been shown by the people of
Franklin County in the case of
John L. Gonce, who is on trial on
the charge of murder for shoot
ing and killing Alva Willis at
Anderson several months ago.
The defendant entered a plea of
not guilty, and his theory is self
defence. The jury has reported
twice and have failed to agree on
a verdict.
There were many ladies in the
courtroom, including the mother
and sisters of the defendant, and
the mother and grandmother and
sister of the deceased.
There will be several impor-
tant cases tried at this term,
among them Green ct al. VS.,
Wilson, administrator, wherein
the heirs of John Wilson, de-
ceased, are contesting his will.
There is involved in this case
between $4,000 and 800, 900.

Whips Her Husbands Typewriter.

An exciting episode occurred
at Jellico Tuesday morning.
Mrs. James G. Sharp, wife of
a leading attorney of Williams
burg, KY, came to town on an
early train and going to the
apartments of Miss Ida Farris,
former resident of Williamsburg
administered Christening. This
done, she is said to have thrown
the contents of q bottle of tur-
pehtine into Miss Farris' face
and have taken from one of Miss
Farris' fingers diamond ring
which she claims is hers.
Miss Farris came to Jellico
from LaFollette. Previous to
her residence at LaFollette she is
said to have been employed as
stenographer in the Office of Mr..
Sharp at Williamsburg. The
turpentine which was thrown
into Miss Farris' face did not
touch her eyes. 1t is started al
Jellico that the two women had
trouble while Miss Farris was
employed in Mr.. Sharp's office al
Williamsburg.

An Aged Resident Of Haley's Lost
His Life by Lightning.

John Stephens, a widower aged
about 70 years, who lived alone
near Haley, was killed by bolt
of lightning during a storm Sat
urday afternoon.
When his little grandchildren
went to his house to take him
some milk, they found him lying
dead on the floor with small
blue mark on his forehead where
the electric bolt had struck him.
Lightning had struck the corner
of the roof and ran down the
chimney without doing any dam
age, but every piece of furniture
in the house was shivered to
pieces by the bolt.

Mrs. Scruggs has been i'll for

posed that in one of these spells
she left her room, some time
after midnight, as when found,
she was in her night clothes, her

years old, and was the wife of +.

world may turn against nm and
become his enemy. His son or
daughter that he has reared with
loving care may prove migrate
full. Those who are nearest and
dearest to us, those with whom
we trust our happiness and our
good name, may become traitors
to their faith. The money that
a man has he may lose. 1t flies
away from him perhaps when he
needs it most. A mans reputa-
ton may be sacrificed in a mo-
ment of ill-considered action.
The people who are prone to fall
on their knees to do us honor
when success is with US, may be
the first to throw the stone of
malice when failure sets it's
cloud upon our heads.
"The only absolutely msellish
friend that man can have in
this world, the one that never
forsakes him, the one that new
proves ungratful or treacherous,
is his dog. A mans dos stands
by him in prosperity and in pow
erty, in health and in sickness.
He will sleep on the cold ground
where the wintry winds blow
and the snow drives tiercely, if
only he may be near hismaster's
side. He will kiss the hand that
has no food to offer; hewill lick
the wounds and sores that come
in encounter with the foughness
of the world. He guards the
sleep of his pauper master as if
he were prince. Whenall 9th
er friends desert, he remains.
When riches take wings and
reputation falls to pieces, he is
as constant in his love us the sun
in his journeyings through the
heavens.
MANY EYES MADE WET.
l
eff fortune drives the master
forth an outcast in the world,
friendless and homeless, the
faithful dog asks no. higher
privilege than that Of accom-
panying him, to guard against
danger, to fight against his enc
mics. And when the last scene
of all comes and death takes the
master in its embrace, and his
body is laid away in the cold
ground, no matter if ali other
friends persue their way, there
by the graveside will the noble
, dog be found, his head between
his paws, his eyes sad, but open
in alert watchfulness, faithful
and true even in death. y
