Webster's Wit.

Most men of weight dislike the
frail gilt and satin chairs which acci-
dentally fall to their lot in a crowded
drawing room. They were in use in
Mr.. Webster's time. At an evening
reception given to some Western
lawyers soon after the accession of
President Tyler and the dissolution
of President Harrison's Cabinet Mr..
Stanberry, late Attorney General,
was accompanied by his bashful
friend, MIA Leonard, who Immediate
ly retired to a corner and selected
this gilded trife as n resting place.
In order to withdraw still farther
from notice he tilted the fail struc-
ture backward. Down It went,
smashed into a dozen pieces, and
Leonard the embarrassed was Leon
ard the observed of all. Mr. Webster
Immediately rushed to the rescue OF
his unfortunate guest and raised him
from the floor with the reassuring
remark: "Why, my dear Mr.. Leon
ard, you should have remembered
that no cabinet work would hold to-
gether here"

Tobacco Outlook Good.

Petersburg Especially The sales
of loose tobacco at the several ware
houses in Petersburg for the last
week have been very small, due to
two causes-bad roads, made so by
the heavy rains, and the fact that
practically all of the crop of 1906
OF raised in counties adjacent to
Petersburg has been marketed.
In some of the counties the pros
pect for next years crop Of tobacco
is promising. while In other counties
there has been a great scarcity of
plants, which. after being planted,
were washed up by the rain. Anoth-
er drawback has been the lack of
farm labor, which In some sections
cannot be had at any price.
