The Gift Of Writing.

From the Louisville .Courier-Journal.
The death OF Jack London and tho

who saw with d:scernment the seamy side
of life. and the adventurous side. and
wrote INTERESTINGLY about what he saw.
The late o. Henry's literary product was
a result of his reaction to conditions no
encountered when he left a clerks walk
of life and thrust himself amid more color

Morphine acts more quickly h

Opium Is at once the most valuable

Cigars May Go Higher Again.

Some little comment has been
aroused by a to~pacconist's intimation
that the price OF cigars viii: shortly go
up again: It is not the rise In price
which has called forth remark, such
phenomena having occurred with some
frequency Of late. but the causes cited
for the threatening ascent-bands and
labels, which come from Germany, cost
more. and this increase will according
ly be registered in the price of the
cigars.
Such are the forecast and the
PLANTATION. which IA be taken for
what they are worth. Granted that
they constitute an accurate statement
of cause and effect, the objection is at
once urged-what is the necessity for
bands and labels. why not dispense
with them and SO keep the cigars-the
essential thing-at present prices? A
band, gaudy or subdued. q ceased to
be the emblem OF the good cigar: many
Of the cheaper brethren are quito re-
spiendent: and. as for labels. they may
be foregone without any great loss.

Poultry Yard Notes.

The small colony breoder is, mostly
