The troubles of the tobacco growers
have now reached the acute stage, as
there is hardly crop that is not more
or less damaged from pole sweat or
other causes. In most cases the buy
ers or representative examine the
crop at home where new prices can be
made according to the condition OF
the crop. 1t is found that the crop
was too damp to be taken down and
the thin leaf has led to additional
damage from this cause. AS was pre-
dicted by conservative tobacco men,
new bargains are the rule, generally
with drop of from two to ten cents
or more. One party was offered $40 if
he would keep the crop, but it is re.

LOCAL AFFAIRS.
SPEOON, THE Carlo ONIST,
TO APPEAR AT THE TOWN HALL, SAT-
URDAY EVENING.

S. M. Spedon, the noted cartoonist
and entertainer, will appear at tht
Town hall, Saturday evening, in the
Mems club course. If you want {
hearty laugh over pure and innocent
fun do not fail to attend. The follow
ing are the opinions of the press ir
reference to Mr. Spedon:
New York Sun: In drawing crayOn
sketches and humorous cartoons before
an audience he has no superior. His
descriptive power is inimitable.
New York Daily Tribune: S. M
Spedon delighted large audience.
New York Herald: At the Tuxedo
club S. M. Spedon gave delightful
entertainment.
Boston Herald: At fremont Tenn
pile, S. M. SpedOn was most successful.
Albany IN. Y Times: S. M. Spedon
is naturally witty, and could entertain
an audience for hours.
Trenton IN. j. Daily True Ameri-
can: Mr. SpedOn as an entertainer is
pronounced success.
Atlanta ga Constitution: 1t was
quite wonderful to see him make a
few rapid strokes across the canvas
caricature of man who won't laugh;
landscape in the impressionist style
was really beautiful.
Louisville (Ky.) Courier-J ournal:
The members of the Standard clue
were entertained by S. M. Spedon.
His descriptive recitations would pro-
woke laughter in the most sober
minded, and altogether furnished a
most novel entertainment.
McKeesport PA Times: A large
audience enjoyed S. M. Spedon in the
First Presbyterian church. The ver-
satiIity Of Mr. Spedon could hardly be
excelled.
San Jose (Cal.) Daily Mercury: The
com bination of the unique, the humor-
GUS and the artistic.
San Francisco Call: Versatile Spe-
don, clever sketches and impersona-
lions at the Y. M. G. A. S. M. Spedon
discounted the ma jority of popular en-
tertainerS. ,
Sacramento (Cal.) Record U MON
The entertainment by SpedOn drew a
crowded house and created more en-
thusiasm than any previous entertain
ment.
Joliet, Ill. An audience at the Steel
Works club, Saturday night, was very
delightfully."- entertained by Mr. Spe-
don. This gentleman presents an ex-
CelleuU pIOSTdm, SOuetuluS Radically
different from the general line of
amuSementS.
The Los Angeles (Cal.) Times: Simp-
son Tabernacle held large audience.
Nothing else qnite like it has ever
been seen here. Taken all in all it is
extremely doubtful if a pleasanter en-
tertainment has ever visited Los An
geles.
The Portland Ore Oregonian: The
performance left nothing to be desired;
the talented artist gained repeated
rounds Of applause in appreciation of
his wonderful power to amuse and at
the same time to instruct.
Albuquerque, N. NJ: Every one
considered it a tirst-class entertain
ment.

The men of eighty-tive and ninety
years Of age are not the rOtund we'll
fed, but thin, spare men who live on a
slender diet. Be as careful as he will,
however, a man past middle age, will
occasionally eat too much or of some
article of food not suited to his con-

Chamberlain Stomach and Liver
Tablets to cleanse and invigorate his
