TOBACCO MEN GET BUSY
FIRST WEEK OF NEW YEAR
After More Than Week of Holiday
LoOse-Lenf Houses VIII
Start.

The "loose-leaf sales" OF tobacco will
be resumed in all OF the Virginia and
North Carolina warehouses this week,
In Richmond the FIRST sales will be on
iuesday. In some OF the bright mar
kcts there will be small sales on Mon
day. The Richmond warehousemen do
not look for heavy deliveries. The
weather has been unfavorable 10 the
handling and stripping OF the weed,
ana even had 1t been otherwise, com
paratively little OF 1t would have been
stripped and prepared for market dur

habit OF making all Of the Christmas
week holiday season. I doubt II as
many as twenty tobacco growers In the
sun Touring belt would have spent any
OF last week in their barns II there
had been good stripping weather"
What Is thus said OF the region that
surrounds Richmond Is doubtless true
OF other tobacco belts. Hence II is
expected that the sales on all of tho
markets. will be light this week. The
statisticians and the prophets OF all
OF the tobacco belts agree that some
thing over Go per cent OF tho 1914 crop
was marketed before the Christmas
holidays. and that the entire crop will
be In the hands of the factory men
and other dealers before the warm

DANVILLE GETS THERE IN
VERY GREAT CONDITION
Much Work on Southern Railway
Makes I'ay Rolls That Keep
Business Going.

DANVILLE, VA, January 1.-The
large expenditure OF money in Dam
Vile and near to it by the Southern
Railway for improvements has helped
n great deal to fill an aching void in
the commercial world. and has kept
many man at work who otherwise
might have been on his uppers
All Of this new work was financially
provided for by the Southern Rail-
the present year came along; and the
work had to be pushed The double
tracking OF the Southern's line and the
actual rebuilding of more than dozen
miles OF track from here to Dry Fork
have been told about in the Industrial
Section of The Times-Dispatch. This
new track strikes the old Richmond
and Danville line just little to the
east OF where Fall Creek runs under
the old rock bridge. The plans for the
new line contemplated the building of
new rock and concrete bride over
FAN Creek. and thence on across Dan
River to the companys passenger
depot on Craghead Street. The plans
also provided for an overhead cross
Ing for Craghead Street and the neces-
sary elevation of the passenger depot
This Is the work that has kept so many
men employed In the dull season, and
kept them in position to make and
to pay grocery bills; and it Is this
work that has managed to keep a great
deal OF business going along In DAN
Vile that might otherwise have Ian
Suished during the past fall and the
present winter.
AS 1t is. the Southern Railway and
.he contractors who have the work in
hand have paid out vast sums of money
VA wages, and this has helped to keep
oahFiiie retail business good in dull
time.

Review and Outlook.

r. G. Dun & Co.'S special local re-
port TO the Industrial Section Of the
Richmond Times Dispatch reads as fol-
lows:
The list of dividend Disbursements by
the banks OF the city for the period
ending with December 81, 1914, has
of S3ol.767. which Is a gain of S5.49O
over last year. Some OF the principal
industrial concerns have announced
ihat dividends usually paid at the end
OF the year VIII be deferred, owing to
the Carrying out of conservative poll
cieS, but the aggregate of profits dis
;ributed compares well with 1913.
Most OF the principal retail stores
report that in reviewing the volume of
business transacted during the holt
days, it has been found that sales
were fully up to last season, and in
several instances In excess of that
period. Snow and colder weather have
created demand for seasonable wear
ing apparel. and country merchants re-
port fairly active movement in all
lines of merchandise. which has been
reflected i'm the receipt of sorting or
dcrs in the local wholesale trade. With
n few exceptions. travelling statesmen
have not started In their territories
with samples for spring. Jobbing ac-
tvitics at present are Of average pro-
portions for the season, but most
houses are engaged with stocktak
and other interests incident to the close
of the year. Collections seem to have
further improved slightly In this
market.
The local financial situation has i'm
proved in the past few weeks, and de-
mands for capital are more pronounced
than for some months past. but funds
arc easier 10 obtain, though the per
cent rate on loans continues. Redis-
counts at the Federal reserve bank are
placed at approximately S1.25O,0 but
il is reported that banks in this city
have been able to carry their own
loans. and the demands on the Federal
bank have been made from other parts
of the reserve district. Bank clear
ings for the four days ending December
26t 1914, amounted to S6,i36,562, against
S?.9l1,S22 the full week preceding"

Organizations for the better understanding Of

Pat has told me often that he
thought Mollie would make a
great fiction writer, but so for
that matter has Chadwick, and
the next sentence made me sur
mise that Chadwick Hatton was
the man. ct have been both sad
and sorry, Mollie, sweetheart,
but l am never again going to be
sad or sorry again.
ALI the other women that
have come into my life have gone
today out of it forever, there is
no room for anyone else but
you. That might be any one
of them, little book; in fact, It
might be any man, for they say II
at such times.
And now comes the sentence
that pretty nearly spells tragedy
for me-"Oh, Margie, Margie, |
am so happy I belong to him"
Shades of Eros! Does every
woman say that in the first flush
of her love-does to give herself
wholly and unreservedly seem the
most wonderful thing she can
do?
Why is It, little book, that this
self-sacrificing glamor wears Off?
Why does ones heart, ones
soul, ones individuality, seem so
small in comparison to his love at
this time and why do they loom
so large on ones horizon after
marriage.
Mollie's letter takes me back,
little book, to the never-to-be-for-
gotten night when l, too, wrote
exultantly, after tonight l shall
belong"
It is the primal woman who
speaks, but, alas, we are primal
no longer, and We find out very
soon that to no one can We dele
gate the task of being captain of
our souls-not even to our hus-
bands.
Will Mollie wake up as l have?
I don't know. In fact, l do not
yet know to whom Mollie has
given herself. Evidently In her
excitement Mollie does not realize
she has not given me the name
of her husband to be.
