BAD WEATHER KEEPS
THE RECEIPTS DOWN
Less Tobacco Brought to Rich
mond Market Than in Any
Week During Season.
PRICES CONTINUE UPWARD
That Offered i'll Great Demand.
and Competition Between
Bidders Spirited.

Tobacco receipts for the week just
passed were smaller than for any self
ing week during the season. The
amount sold was S1.7T0 pounus, GOOD
dea! less than has often been handled
in single day heretofore. This con-
dition is. of course, the result of the
bad weather, which for two days pre-
vented any selling at all. With the
advent of a milder spell and a hand
ling season the dealers are confident
of doing the best business OF the sea-
son.
Demand and prices, on the other
hand, have kept up far above the stand
ard of other seasons. The floors are
cleaned within few minutes after the
sales are announced, and strong COM
petition carries the prices to highest
figures. Especially dark stemming anu
s,n-cured tobaccos are in great de-
mand. The largest manufacturers are
clamoring for these grades. and their
buyers are everywhere in evidence,
competing strongly for all that Is
offered.

BLACKSTONE, VA, February S.
At a meeting OF the Board of Supetvi-
sors of Nottoway. county, held few
DAYS ago, it was decided to begin the
of five miles Of macadam
road in the county as demonstration,
with the hope that later the result
would be that more would be de-
manded by the people,. Three miles of
this is to be built upon the road lead
ing from this place to Lunenburg coun-
Nv. and two miles somewhere In the
vicinity of Burkeville. The State High
way Commissioner has made several
trips TO this place and made the sur.
.yey for macadam road all tho way
from this place to the LunenburS
county line, a distance of six and one
half miles. Only three miles are to be
built at this time. and this will doubt
less . done with convict force.
1t mas required a strong effort upon
the part of those interested in this
work to get the board to agree TO make
this beginning. They feared the slight
Increase in taxes would be met with
opposition by taxpayers. and hesitated
to take the necessary steps until fully
satisfied that it was demanded by those
who would have the greater amount,
to meet Now it Is believed that the
of this portion ordered
will be followed in the near future by
other.
Work Is to be begun at an early
date upon the sewer system of Black
stone, the bonds for which We're voted
at an election held last summer
bonds have been sold and all the plans
made. Bids for the construction of the
work will be asked for as soon as
copies of the plans and specifications
can be prepared, and actual work will
begin. as soon as the weather will per-
nit The amount voted Is $4,000.

by the people of Auckland, and in fact
of the whole of New Zealand. The
harbor of Auckland, which is often
termed the Naples of the south, never
presented a more beautiful appear
ance than it did when the great white

The city was early astir. The wa
tiers of the harbor were dotted every
where with yachts and excursion
craft of every description, while the
wharves and buildings along the wa
ter front were thronged with men,
women and children. On all the
buildings the Stars and Stripes and
the Union Jack fioated side by side.
The American colors were to be seen
everywhere and many of the people
met in the streets carried tina Ameri
can flags.
The arrival of the powerful vessels
of war afforded marine spectacle
mo onificant hevOnd anythino ever
seen before in these waters. The
Connecticut blowing her way majesti-
cally through the channel was fol-
lowed into the harbOr by the Mime
