The Late Rev. T. j. Snodgrass.

James Johnson, the poet, lumberman
and genial citizen of st. Croix county,
has written an extensive tribute to the
memory of the late Rev. Thomas J.
Snodgrass, formerly of this city. May
we add word in the same direction.
His character was of the strong fibre
common to rugged honesty. In politics
he was absolutely fearless, believing
honesty was as desirable in state affairs
as in business matters. His life was q
munument TO manly independence, no
skulking nor dodging, but bravely meet
ing every question whether personal or
religious. Toward the last his hearty
laugh grew weaker in volume but never
lost It's true ring. Such men make us
all better. We would be like him and
in that we voice the general affectionate
regard with which he was held. He
was frank to the point Of bluntness but
never did his words leavo q sting. His
friends were numbered by his acquaint-
ances, his good deeds by his every act.

who are eh 'sing one another over the
growing dit tgicts Of Vernon and Craw-

they are looking mp the prospects of the
growing crop, but every mothers son Of
them have a contract book In his pocket
and we have no doubt that where lot
gives promise of being harvested in good
cORaiti0n efforts are being made TO buy
it What can be said OF the influence
upon the unsuspecting growers when
th'y sea sucb horde of tobacco buyers
swoOp down upon them like an army of
locusts, madly driving about the count

o. anything like reasonable offers for
their crops Won't they really form the
opinion that the tobacco men are crazy
and in need of guardians? And W. B
they may. lf these dealers really ha,l
any notion of opening the market, their
action hae certainly defeated that pur-
pose and flushed the game. There is a
ludicrous side of the invasion, if not re-
diculous one, that win appear to almost

HARD CHASE FOR TOBACCO
STORM AND BUYERS GATHER
IN MUCH OF THE WEED.
Friday and Monday Storms Very
Damaging Buyers Ger Many
Acres. are Still Chasing.

Pleasure and deep disappointment
have been the experiences of tobacco
growers in this section the past few
days Pleasure because there has been
sucf a demand for the growing weed,
and disappointment because of the hard
and destructive storms that have visited
evil results upon them. For nearly a
week there has been tno liveliest kind of
chase by horde of foreign and local
buyers go see who eould make the great.
est grab of crops, and nothing like it
has been experienced in past years. So
extensive has this been that few desir
able crops are uniDspected and few left
unbought Prices have ranged from s
to l28 cents
The storm of Friday night left its
traces Of damage on many crops, but
nothing like so serious a nature as that
which passed over the county last night
about seven O'CLOCK. i is too soon after
the unhappy realization to Judge any
thing like acpIa5aly of the extent of
damage but it is certainly very exten-
siye, and the loss will be heavy Rain
and hail accompanied by wind appear
to have visited every locality in the
county. Is is a strange thing that some
crops were practically demolished while
others in the same neighbour BOD IRE
little if any injured This epplies to
about every growing section in the
county, 1t is very difficult to estimate
the damage, but the CENSOR believes at
least onet third OF the acreage is partially
or totally destroyed, 1t is a sad exper-
ience for so much was anticipated
