 "My heart was so weak it could not do its work properly My husband would sometimes have to carry me from the table. and it would seem that I would never breathe again.
 "The doctor told me that coffee was causing the weakness of my heart. He said I must stop 1t, but 1t seemed l could not give it up until I was down in bed with nervous prostration.

Tobacco Market oioses April o.

Especial 10 Inc reS-plSpatCn.J
DURHAM, y. C., March ci.---It has
been announced here that the Durham
tobacco market will close April 9.
When the market does close It will
mark the completion OF one OF tho
best tobacco seasons Durham has wit
messed in many years. More than g.,
O00, 900 pounds Of tobacco have been
sold on this market during the past
season, and all OF this tobacco has
brought good prices. The tobacco
dealers are urging tho farmers OF Dur
ham, and the surrounding counties To
market their tobacco before the mark ct
closes. Clear the deck, as il were. and
make an entire fresh start on the new
crop when that begins 10 como in.
Next season Durham Will put forth
her best efforts for n 10000, 600 pound
tobacco market, and the chances are
that ahs will 90 IT. or come pretty close
10 il. There probably will be as many
as two new warehouses. and with FIVE
big warehouses in Durham this market
can handle the tobacco from every
point within twenty-five or ATTY miles
Of the city. The idea is TO make Dur
ham central tobacco market and
that this hone will be realized seems
apparent.
