of $23.3O per hundred pounds.
General satisfaction on the part Of
farmers has been noted as the re-
suit in the advance of prices during
the past sweek or more. Better grades
of leaf are appearing on warehouse
floors, and there seems to be a good
demand for nearly all grades.

sales would stop half an hour earlier
starting tomorrow. Since the begin
ming of the season in mid-September,
the selling time has ended at p. m.
The change sets the closing hour at
4:30 p. m. The earlier closing has
been .occasioned by the gradual short
ening of the days, with light begin
ming to fade on warehouses earlier
than heretofore as the result.
Agreement has been had. with Dur
ham and Oxford, the other two large
markets of the Middle, Belt, on the
earlier closing of daily sales, the sup

1888 STATE fair
BIG IMPROVEMENT
1t Is Regarded AS Being
Well Worth Seeing By
Those Interested

Early visitors to the North Caro-
lima State Fair in Raleigh have
brought back reports of a greatly i'm
proved institution by comparison with
other years. For the second successive
year, the fair is being operated for the
State by the State Department of
done good job of it.
An inspection of the exhibit halls
reveals much that is both new and
different. There are, of course, many
things closely akin to other years.
but there are numerous displays that
attract and interest the visitor be-
cause. of the changes that have been
been made.
One of the outstanding features of
this years fair are the county agri-
cultural exhibits The surprising thing
about them is that there are not more
of them And the Vance county cit
izen could wish that his own county
had an entry knowing how fine dis
play could be made if such were at
tempted. Observation of the group is
at once impressiYe of the high char
acter of all of them, but it is not hard
to concur in the decision of the judges
who awarded first honors to the
Davidson county display.
Numerous novel and creative de-
signs greet the visitor to the fair.
Cattle, swine poultry and other live
stock barns contain animals that
challenge the admiration of breeders
and give the imagination wide range
in conjecturing what kind of a State
North Carolina could be in this re-
Ipect If it only would.
AS for the entertainment feature,
one could scarcely wish for more. 1t
is there in abundance, and in such
great volume and variety that the diff
liculty experienced is as to what to
take in and what not in the neces-
sarly limited time most fair visitors
have at their disposal.
Rarely, if ever, has the grandstand
offered finer pageantry. Acrobats
thrill and excite those who like that.
The great revue bursts with splendor
upon an unexpectant audience. Jug
gle~s, musicians and other performers
in their own fields offer something
to delight in and to marvey at. And
the fire works display is fully in keep
ing with the wonderful displays of
cher years. The. pyrotechnics present
'2fs sof beauty and great variety
of the creative brain in loylns ~
= .failla1iceS.
The. Midway offers, its freaks, its
gslll1.saisig wheels, the fortune tells.
the u Suggestive, girl shows, and
rides OF every kind and device.
And the bingo is there in several
spots, despite stheJ2boast in. Raleigh
that not even that would be allowed.
Eut it. is, along with other things
rluch more offensive to more refined
nature.
The one thing lacking is the frozen
custard stand. What has become of
this Midway delight in the way Of.
refreshments? 1t wasn't at the
Golden Belt Fair here last week, and
It is not at Raleigh. Well, it just shows
how times do change, even in fairs!

.F|REMEN CONTINUE
MAKE INSPECTIONS
Business Section Completed
And Residential Sec
tons Being Visited

Fire Chief Cooper Ellis stated to-
day that firemen had completed their
inspections of business section of the
city, and are now turning their at
tention to the residential section, be-
ginning in the first ward.
Chief Ellis said he and his men had
met with wholehearted cooperation on
the part of property owners, and
found them eager to aid the firemen
in their work The chief said numer-
Gus hazards had been found, and pro-
perty owners were quick in remedy
ing them as soon as they were pointed
out.
Inspections in the residential Sec
ton will consume several days, and
are being carried on by wards, the
chief said.
1t is not the purpose of firemen to
embarrass anyone with their inspec-
tions, but to come upon the property
now in an effort to forestall disas-
trous fire loss that may arise from
some little thing that could be re-
medied at short notice, if it is point
ed out now, the chief continued. He
feels that the citizens will cooperate
with the firemen and receive them
in the way they come, in a spirit of
helpfulness.
With the fall season here, and the
necessity of fires being maintained in
homes and business establishments
emphasis is being laid on the urgency
of removing accommodations of trash,
rubbish and unnecessary piles of old
papers and the like. Removal of
| leaves that have fallen on roofs also
has been urged as one of the best
moves to avoid fires.
Literature on fire prevention has
! been distributed, and the fire trucks
have been decorated with banners
and driven through parts of the city
by way of calling attention to the
campaign this week.

 The soft color crept slowly up into the other woman's lovely face then. But the look in her dark eyes was unwavering. Yes" she answered simply, honestly. "Yes, I do."
 Jackie drew in her breath sharply T am glad you told me-" she said. T thought you did. But I had to be sure"
 Love is something you cannot help, something you have to &C., cept when it comes - whether you want to or not" Beryl said. Jackie supposed she was trying to

I think you are wonderful person. I'll always think that, Beryl." Yes, 1t was true; Jackie, too, had come to love Beryl Melrose. Which was another reason why she must do this thing that she suddenly had decided she must do.
 That's the loveliest thing any woman has ever said to me-" Beryl Melrose said softly. Thank you, Jackie And I want you al- ways to remember that I love you"

 She had asked for chance to prove her love for Roger. A chance to prove that it was bigger than anything in the world, bigger than herself.
 She was to have that chance, since her prayer that Roger would live had been answered. Buc sne had not known it would come so soon or in the way it was to come. (To Be Continue6
