The leaf tobacco buyers, the ware-

concerned at the news of the consolida
tion of the American and Imperial To-
oacco companies. Prices are now high,
but a sharp fall Is expected, though this
may not, for reasons of policy occur at
once. The only hope is that the short
age ot tooacco of the old crop may re
sult la sustaining the demand, and then
too the trust will have to pay a sufficient
price to Induce farmers to plant. Oth
erwise farmers will go Into cotton and
other things as they did a few years ago
when prices paid for tobacco were so
low. But nevertheless the great consoli
dation Is regarded as a severe blow to
the leaf tobacco Interests:)

IN MEM0RIAM.
Born on the 26th day August, 1825,
Aunt Francis lived 77 years of useful
ness and on the morn of September 25th
aa the Autumn sun rose in its unclouded I
brightness, she took her departure to
that realm where, "There'll be no night
there."
With heart and hands ever ready to
do deeds of kindness, and to smooth the
rugged pathway of the distressed and
the sorrowing, she lived a life full of
works. She was to this writer a mother,
and though she has been seriously af
flicted for several years, it was always
good to seek her counsel.
By her strong constitution and will
power, she bad in recent years, success
fully combatted against severe cases of
sickness and we did hope that she would
yet a little longer be spared to us, butt
God in His goodness had finished her
eternal resting place and bid her come
and dwell therein.
8he leaves an aged husband, Capt. C.
D. Foy, four sons, Messrs. F. R. Foy, of
Einston, C. D. Foy, Jr., and P. O. Foy
and E. H. Foy of Florida. Two daugh
ters, Mrs. Bailie Garden of Durham, and
Mrs. J. E. McCuthen of Msysvllle. ; One
brother, Mr. Franklin Foy, of Pollocks-
vllle, and numbers of relatives and I
friends to mourn the loss. Yet we I
know that . our loss Is her eternal
gain..
"Gone to the grave is our loved one
" Gone with a Christian bloom,
Lowly we bend relative and friend
Marching away to the tomb.
She has gone through the valley,
The deep, death valley,
Her face we shall see nevermore
Until we oross the valley,
The deep, death valley,
And meet her on the other shore."
