On Wednesday, October 24th, t lie Pieniont Warehouse of this city sold on its floors 1,25 piles of leaf tobacco, amounting to 139,612 pounds. This was the largest quantity of leaf tobacco ever sold on any single ware house floor in one day in the his tory of the world. The record made by this house for the week 'ending October 27th was also surprising, the sales amounting to 706,931 pounds. This is the largest week's sales known to the tobacco trade as having been made by a single house. All to bacco sold fairly well, consider ing the damp and damaged con dition in which it was offered. If the present good weather continues, we are advised that prices will advance a little on leaf, and we are hopeful that the remainder of the crop will sell higher than the prices heretofore obtaining. this season. Rev. G. W. Holland, pastor of the Colored- First Baptist Church of this City, died Monday after noon, aged about 70. Rev. Hol land had been pastor of the First Baptist Church for over thirty years, and was honored and re spected by all classes and colors of our people. Irrigation Makes Huslness. n The 1 expenditures of the '-' . . Reclamation Service quicken the pulse of business at every dis tributing point in the country particular!' in western cities like St. Louis, 'Kansas "City, St. Paul, Minneapolis, Denver and the Pacific ports. A nd the quicken ing is not an ephemeral fever like that which has accompanied many large expenditures by the government in other directions. Every irrigation project being accompanied and followed by the rapid occupation and cultivation of multitudes of small farms, and the building of new towns, the business it creates goes on per manently, with increasing returns to a large proportion of those who have shared in its begin nings. Here is a fact which will at no distant day count forcibly in impressing upon Congress the desirability of larger appropria tions for the grand, beneficent work of Irrigation. Orator Puff.

Late last night George L. Bell of Chagrin Falls reported to the police that his valise, containing $48,000 worth of negotiable bonds, had been stolen while on a trolley car. The valise was on the floor at Mr. .Bell's feet. A well dressed stranger, carrying a valise, en gaged Bell in conversation, but left the car before Bell did. When Bell alighted he picked up the only remaining valise and did not notice for sometime that it was not his. To-night the police arrested Leslie O'dell of Parkersburg, W. Va., at a railroad camp near May field with Bell's satchel. He de clared it was his own until the police opened it and showed him, instead of a collar, a shirt and a toothbrush, $48,000 in bonds. He was taken into custody pending investigation. The North Winston Graded School Chapel was enlivened by a catchy little entertainment on Tuesday night, given by the Fonrth Grade.
