fruitless. A few pieces of furniture
and some floor coverings were all
that was saved of the household fur
nishings.

God in love has seen fit to take from
me my dear young wife and separate
me from my sweet little baby girl, too
young for my care, and it makes my
lonely heart bleed as nothing else

Carranza Asks Support.
So serious is the condition faced by
President CarranZa that he is said to
be bending every effort to secure the

1t is known Aguilar conferred at

Egg Prices Go Up; Farmers
Can't Bring Them To Town

Eggs have risen again in price and
are now retailing in Richmond at 80
and 50 cents a dozen.
This rise is called by merchants
purely spasmodic, and is because of
the fact that farmers are now busy
and cannot bring eggs to town. At
present they say there is the smallest
number of eggs on the market that
there has ever been. AS farmers are
IN the midst of busy season there
is no likelihood of the situation being
relieved for several days, and the price
