EGGS SMASH THE

Minneapolis, Feb. 13.-Dropping
and cents clip, strictly fresh"
eggs have sold down 6 cents within a
week and the best on the market were
sold by jobbers on Commission row
yesterday at 20 to Fl cents a dozen.
Incidentally the market went to the
lowest price recorded at this season in
five years.

about eggs they could think Of whole
sale dealers are not so kind in speak
ing of those from whom the ultimate
consumer" procures the eggs. Hints
that the public is not responsive to the
benefit Of the decline in price are nu-
merous.
says Public Pays.
While many grocers are selling
eggs on legitimate basis, some others
are holding up the public said A. NJ
Bearman, 21S Sixth street north, q
member of the produce exchange. II
know Of eggs having been sold today
at 80 to "a cents dozen, and on this
market any man who charges so high
price is taking advantage of the
public mecause of general Ignorance
OF the state OF the market. Eggs are
plentiful and the cheapest in years,
and the public should know about it.
THE market here is on summer
basis In winter for the first time in
years, and the same conditions exist in
Chicago and New York. The markets
are full of eggs and receipts are lib
eral, and it may be that the bottom is
not yet"

READING NATTER FOR CRIPPLEs.

Dear Daddy Jim: have received several pack
ages Of papers from some young ladies in Alabama,
and package of papers from Prof. GOoche of
Mississippi, but have forgotten the name of the
place. | received package of books from Nat
chez, Miss, but name attached. 1 don't know
who sent them, but many, many thanks to and
all who remember poor crippled shut-in. l
tanly appreciate their kindness, and like to read
the papers very much. Reading is good pastime,
and helps to while away the long hot days. The
young ladies that sent the papers to me were
Miss Minnie Penton of Rockford Ala, and Miss
Matte Hughes of Oxford, Ala. 1 know they
sweet Christian girls to think of unknown
friend I love them and their kindness and hope
to meet them sometime in the near future. Am
glad to that my health is better now. l don't
suffer badly with my rheumatism as I did in
the spring. The young ladies requested me to
write to The JetfersOnian, they could know
whether received the papers or not. Respect
fully, Mrs L. E. BARRETT, Pine Park, Ga.

FROM A NORTH CAROLINA FRIEND.

Dear Daddy jim: AS it has been some time
since I sent my dues to the S. S. B., will do
now. I hape, little it is, it will do some good.
have not been able to work for two months,
cannot help much, but will send 20 cents to be
used w-er it is most needed, although l should
think that is hard to do where there is much
suffering and distress. If your income was four
times what it is, it would not be enough to relieve
the needs Of the needy. I wish it had been so
could have gone to the 4th of July celebration at
Thomson. I certain would like to see all that are
connected with the publishing house of the best
reform matter sent out, and above ALL I would
like to see the president. I do hope he will be
able to get hold of those who trying to kill
him, whatever they after, will know
who is at the back og it all. l hope Mr.. Watson
will be spared long time yet to battle for the
right. | sorry to see Hoke Smith is going to
the Senate from Georgia. but vengeance is mine
sayeth the Lord, II will repay and it is sure to
come to Hoke Smith later. One of his
men was here getting subscriptions for Hokes
paper but when he hit me told him that l was
a Tom Watson man, and he didn't try me any
more. told him his paper could not come to my
house. 1t has been very dry here since April,
only few showers We did have yesterday,
but I can still dig up dry ground in my corn
patch. With best wishes to you, the S. S. B. and
all the Publishing Family from the Boss down,
