The Tobacco Journal's Review for the Week Ending Dec. 15th. The week opened with inclement weather, the rain pouring down for two days during which the breaks were light Wrhen it cleared up, to bacco poured in from every direction, and Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday the Ave big warehouses in this city were packed with tobacco. The re ceipts were the biggest of the season. With double sales there was a block; Thursday and afso Friday. , j Some disappointment was expressed ; at the quality of tlL Veerings, which t was worse as an -fferage than for r some weeks past. Lijirable stock was , taken at high ngu.s. uoiory sons are much sought after. The demand is good for all grades, besides the strong corps of leaf dealers a majority of the manufacturers being on sales and buying freely. The prices that j have ruled for a month or more were maintained. The market will close down for the holidays next Saturday, December 22nd, and reopen January 2nd, 1895. The executive committee has issued a formal notice to this effect. Heavy breaks are looked for next week. Shipments are not large in the manufacturing line, and collections are slow. No special efforts are being made to push goods just now, but when the new year opens hustling for orders will begin with renewed vigor and energy. Some good sales were made to visiting buyers during the week. The internal revenue collections at the Winston office last week ran as follows: Monday $ 3,034 90 Tuesday 1,076 48 Wednesday 806 07 Thursday 1,009 95 Friday 1,155 90 Saturday 3,074 05 Total 811,117 35. THE DANVILLE MARKET. The transactions at Danville's elev en loose leaf warehouses uptothe close of business Saturday afternoon, were viry heavy, and the sales for the week were the largest since the com mencement of the new tobacco year, says the Register. A. full day's sales were put on Monday and sales - up to Saturday were blocked, while on the last day double sales lasted up in the afternoon. Most of the oirerings, however, were low-grade goods. There was a noted absence of desir able colored tobaccos. The tone of the market continues strong, and there were no indications in the weakening of prices of low-grade to baccos. Some good wrappers showed up, but the quantity was very small in proportion to the amount of tobac co on the breaks. Prices on good wrappers are firm and market active. There was a good supply of common and medium ttiltrs, with a noted scar city of the better grades Owing to Saturday's sales, and the books at the wareiiouses not being posted, the number of pounds sold could not be ascertained. Manufacturers had a very slow week. The last of the year fast approaching dealers prefer not to make large purchases before the new year sets in. The daily sales of reve nue stamps aggregated $3,843.97. THE HAM) Otc HEATH. It Robs StVf r.il VYiiiMoii Homes of Loved Ones. Death has removed another gocd citizen, in the person of Mr. J.

The lirm did a successful busi ness, but in the spring of 1884 the de ceased, desiring to retire from business, sild out his interest to the junior member of the firm. During the year he built the handsome brick residence in which he died. Mr. Mil ler was a consistent and honored member of the Moravian church.

Referring to the questions in con troversy between the Southern Rail way and its employees. General Man ager Green and Vice-President Bald win expressed the opinion on Satur day that matters would be adjusted without friction. Cm the other hand. the delegates show a determination to remain until a satisfactory arrange ment is reached. One of the points at issue to be pressed will doubtless be whether the Southern Railway is legally bound to observe the contracts made by the old Richmond and . Dan ville Road and those of other lines consolidated with the Southern The employes are anxious that the new contracts be put in force, and may frame measures insisting that early action be taken for that purpose. - An Extraordinary Hen. Paul CElsson, the Swiss decorator and artist, of Durham, while skillful with his brush, has turned the atten tion of the people to raising Swiss chickens, and in this particular he has a pullet that beats the record on the egg question, says the Sun. - They are one-third larger than our ordinary hen eggs. The peculiar characteristic is that each egg has two yolks, and they have been this way ever since she commenced laying, which was , this past fall. Mr. CElsson eats one every morning and says be has not known her to fail yet. The chickens are of a spare build, gray in color, and are thorough-bred owiss fowls. If th's hen keeps up this business she will be a valuable chick in this country, because from one egg you get two. A War on Social Clubs. ; Roanoke, Va., Dec. 15.

In noting the organization of Ma rion Butler's paper for the publication of bis Populist daily and weekly in Raleigh, the iews & Observer prints what it calls "some inside facts" rela tive to what "was said and done at the meeting. The N. & O. says that it is stated also on good authority that neither Fritchard, Ilolton, Ewart, Goslin, Walser, Nichols nor Dockery are interested in the ownership of the new paper. "Jt is said, too, that Mr. Goslin, the editor of the Union Republican, came all the way from Winston to watch the process of the old-time Rads. tumbling over each other to get into the Populist Publication Company, and that he remarked in the hearing of some of them that when it was all over he was going to print it, and if necessary he was going to bring the Union Republican do.wn to Raleigh, backed by his new twenty thousand dollar company, and set up his shop right under the nose of the new Pop ulist organ." Complimentary to Mr. Bowen. The Savannah Press has the follow ing complimentary reference to Rev. II C. Bowen, pastor of the Winston Christian church, who has accepted a call to the Savannah church: "Mr. Bowen made an extremely favorable impression on all who heard him Sun day morning and night. The congre gations were much larger than ordi narily. Mr. Bowen is a rapid, but distinct, speaker. There is earnest ness atd force in his delivery, he is fluent of language, and one is at once impressed with the fact that his entire soul is thrown intjthe work." Following this the Press gave a tyn opsis of Mr. Bowen's Sunday night sermon on the "Christian as a Dis tinctive Agent." A Market for Everything. It is astonishing to know the vast amount of traffic going on between Winston-Salem and the surrounding community. Anyone going out on any of the main roads into the coun try cannot help being struck with the great number of wagons and other ve hicles coming to Winston, all loaded, and everything they bring will com mand a good price from a string of red pepper to a big drove of cattle. Perhaps it is not generally known that our butchers will pay twenty-five cents per pound for dried sage, but they send North to get it, because there is so little of it on our markets here. - Land Around Winston-Salem. " A successful farmer who has resided in various portions of Noith Carolina and is quite familiar with farming inter ests generally remarked recently that the land in and around Winston-Salem was unsurpassed anywhere that he knew of in the State for its fertility, strength and adaptability for almost everyihing grown iu the South. Our climate is fine; our breezes are health ful; our waters pure and health-giving. We have fine fruits, fine scenery and most energetic people to be found in Dixey land. Fractured Her Skull.

When the visitors arrivea they found Mr. Ilauser covering the same shed he was nine years ago when Mr. Miller called upon him. Before indulging in any hand-shakes or "howdy do's," Mr. Milier exclaimed: "My G Ilaneer! Heven't. you got that shed covered yet. You were nailing on the same row of shingles nine years ago." Mr. Ilauser came down and explained that the roof put on nine years ago '"sprang a leak" and he had to put on another one. Work on the roof was postponed and the three old friends spent the day in re lating incidents of their boyhood days. Be it understood, however, a good dinner was served to the visitors.

Indianapolis, Dec. 18. -George W. Turner, editor of the New York Re corder, has been in consultation with ex-President Harrison. Mr. Turner said, just before leaving for New iorK, iiiat ne naa come to Indianapo lis to confer with Mr. Harrison, and t he subject of his possible nomination by the Republican Convention in 1896 was discussed. He made the follow ing statement as to the result of his visit: "Nothing could be more repugnant to Mr. Harrison than a third nomina tion, and he would much prefer to re main at his home here in Indianapolis and practise law. He needs no vindi cation, for the last two years have abundantly vindicated him and his policy, and for him to undergo the trying ordeal of a Presidential cam paign, wit4i its suosequent turmoil and trouble, would be a severe hard ship. 'Any report to the effect that he has positively prohibited the use of his nnrne as a Presidential candidate is untrue It would not be the first time that be has sacrificed himself tor the interest of the country He has h's own favorite or favorites for the place, who will be loyally support ed by him when the time comes for action." When asked if this did not admit of the deduction that Mr. Harrison would decline to enter the race and oefore the Convention met would pub licly annource his preference among t-ne e-indi flares, Mr. Turner responded: "It- wou'd admit of that deduction, but 1 would not wish to be quoted as saying r. " Mr. Turner would not say whether M r. Harrison had declined positively f.nbea candidate. It seems that he will not. be a candidate unless great pressure is brought to bear upon him.
