Commodity Price
Average Unchanged

There was no change in the gen.
eral level of commodity prices in the
week ended July 90. according to the
wholesale price index compiled pv
tn National Fertilizer Association,
which remained at 71.2 per cent of
the 1926-1928 average. This is the
lowest recorded by the index since
October, 1884. The index was 719 a
month ago, 74.7 year ago and 1873
two years ago.
A slight increase was registered bv
the food group index, following de-
creaseS in recent weeks. Under the
influence of higher prices for cotton,
cotton goods, wool and silk. the tex
tile price average rose to the highest
point reached this year. Advances
IN steel scrap and copper quotations
were responsible for fractional in
crease in the metal index. The rise
IN the fertilizer material index was
due primarily to lower potash dis
counts, A drop in the farm product
price average was the result of de-
cllnes in livestock prices, which
more than offset small increases in
cotton, wheat, eggs and wool. The
only other group index to change
during the week was that represent
Ing the prices of miscellaneous COM
modltles, which decreased slightly
due to lower prices for cattle feed.
Thlrty-one price series included in
the index advanced during the week
and 20 declined; in the preceding
week there were IL advances and 26
declines; in the second preceding
week there was Is advances and 90
declines.

Churches To
Return To
Own Services

Henderson churches return to-
morrow night to their own indi-
vidual services after operating
throughout the summer months in
joint union services alternating
among five cooperating church?S.
Each pastor now goes back to
holding his own morning and night
worship hours. During the months
Of July and August, the, congrega-
tions joined together in alternating
among the several churches, and
with the preachers taking it turn
about to preach, except in one or
two instances where there were
visiting ministers.
One revival meeting will get un-
derWay tomorrow with the return
of the churches to their own night
worship. That is at Christ Methodist
church, the former Methodist Pro-
testant church, where the pastor
Rev. T. J. Whitehead, will preach
the sermon, and will preach
throughout the coming. week at re-
vival meetings.
At the First Methodist, where the
pastor, Rev. r. E. Brown, is on q
belated vacation, there will be nc
preaching either morning or eve

Post Office
In August
Lifts Gains

Receipts of the Henderson post
office continued last month to show
an increase, and maintained the
record of about two years standing,
with the exception of one instance,
wherein each month was better than
the corresponding period the year
before.
Last months receipts amounted
to S4,296.49, compared with 81,
O4993 in August last year, for a
gain Of $246.56.
This brought the years total for
eight months of 1899 to $33,475.47
compared with S33, 3,22274 in the like
period last year, a gain this year
OF 3252.73.
If the present rae Of increase
is maintained over all the remain
ing months of this year, 1899 will
set a new all-time high record fol
postal receipts in Henderson, dis
tancing the high mark reached ir
1888, which was the peak up tc
that time.
Should the business upturn be
kept apace, the certainty of a new
mark for 1889 will be all the more
likely.
