Ninety Cent Wheat in Meade.

Several crops of wheat have been
sold to II. Z. Woodson in the last
few days. He has purchased several
crops at SIC. The Irvington Milling
Co. has purchased all the wheat in
the bottom above town at 9Oc bushel.
The heavy rains of the past few weeks
have had the effect of ste dily ad-
vsncing the price on the grain. 1t is
thought the price will reach one dol
lar within a few days. The reports
continue to bring the news of great
loss on the part of the farmers who
were so unfortunate as not to be able
to thrash wheat before the rains set
in. There is no possible way of max
ing an estimate on the amount OF the
loss sustained by the farmers on sc-
count OF the rains during the past two
weeks. Meade County Messenger.

There is no case of Indigestion, Dyspep-
sis or Stomach Trouble that will not
yield to the digestive and strengthen
ing influence of Kodol Dyspepsia Cure.

SChOOlbOyS and Soldiers.
Youth Companion.

The strong schoolboy friendship
which began at West Point between
Grant and Longstreet lasted through
out their lives. Grant was of the
class after Longstrtet, but somehow
their silent, serious natures were In
spontaneous accord and, says, Hele"
d. Longstreet in Lee and Longstreet
at High Tide, they became fast
friends from their first meeting That
one was from the West and one from
the South made no difference, Just
as later it made no difference In their
feeling of personal affection that
one led the army of the Union and
the other was a..Confederate general.
General Longstreet often spoke OF
the details of the cspitulation at APP
pomattox. He said that when he went
into the conference room in the Nc
Lean residence as one Of the Confed-
crate commissioners, he was COM
PEELED to pass through the room oc-
cupied by General Grant as his
headquarters.
He felt curious to know how Gen.
eral Grant would receive him. He
had loved Grant as one of his closest
boyhood friends, but times were
much changed. Grant was victor,
he was vanquished. He was therefore
rpnared m ohsarva tho ricb darnaap
or of those between whom ceremony
only forces recognition. But as soon as
he entered the room Grant rose, ap-
preached him with greater show of
demonstration than ever i'm the older
DAYS, and apped him on the shoulder,
exclaiming:
'Well, Old Pete, can't we get back
to the coed old Gays by playing
game of bragg"
AT West Point the nickname among
the boys for General Longstreet was
"Old Pete. .
The important part of that meeting,
the splendid bearing of the conquered
Confederates, the modest demeanor of
the Union victors, and above all, the
noble generosity of Grant In refusing
to accept the sword of Lee and in
giving the fairest terms posi- BILE under
the existing circumstances, these are
known to all who have read United
States history.

Immense Spot on Sun.

Boston, Mass July 90 Two sun
spots are now exciting considerable
interest among the Harvard astrono-
mers on account of their size. They are
close together, somewhat above the
center and on the right side. They are
estimated to be 100, 900 miles in
diameter, twelve tim es as big as the
earth. When they first appeared on
Friday they were not easily visible,
but now they can be plainly seen
through smoked glass or even with the
naked eye when the sun is low.
Whether the hot weather is caused or
affected by them is not known.
Each spot consists of An umbra, or
dark center, surrounded by an outer
fringe of lighter penumbrs. The shape
of the whole Is irIegularly oval. These
spots are supposed to be collections of
condensed gas containing solid matter,
but scientists are not agreed, and some
of the astronomers think that the
spots are depressions in the surface
of the sun or bodies moving from the
earth to the sun. The spots on the sun
at present are among the largest which
have appeared In recent years. al
though they cannot compare with
those which appeared in 1892.

Chinese, the Hindu, the Arab, the
negro-the chief colored races, in fact
increase and multiply wher ever the

Prices For Tobacco Advance.

In the western part of Kentucky
where dark export tobacco is grown
the farmers are still holding the 1904
crop. Much of 1t remains in the barns
where 1t was cured. More OF 1t is
safely stored in the farmers ware
houses where it will stay until the
stocks in the buyers hands are ex-
hausted, or the price meets their de-
mand. Arrangements are being made
to hold the crop now growing In the
same manner and the more that is
withheld the sooner the price will ad-
vance. Nearly all the tobacco grown
by unorganized farmers has been
marketed and prices maintain much
higher average than year ago. Tho
buyers stubbornly protest against
raising the prices more but there is
nothing eles for them to do. StocKs are
rapidly diminishing and the tobacco

The above paragraph refers only 10

facts that we should at all times

is altogether improba ble that the total

that of 1904. Second, consumpti on

great, however, as 1t was about the
