Concrete Evidence.

H. S. Lillius, the jeweler, stated that
he had enjoyed an unusually heavy
trade, in fact, better than he antici-
pated. People shopped early, the hoi-
iday trade being distributed over q
period of three weeks, and contin-
uing to increase steadily until Christ
mas eve. Business was better than
at any time since the panic.
Mr.. E. G. OFerrall. of O'Ferrall
Bros, said that their holiday trade
had been enormous. For three weeks
before Christmas the store was busy,
and very frequently it was found nee,
essary to increase the force of salesI
men in order to accommodate the,
trade. Business, he said was at leash
thirty-three per cent. better than las,
year, and greatly exceeded his expes
tations.

Hardware Company, stated that IT,, !

expectations. They had anticip
better conditions, and had bougf

The latest candidate suggested for
the Senatorial vacancy is Chancellor
A. A. Kincannon, of the University of

many calculations that have been

general recognition of the fact that,
