to obtain high-class merchant tailoring, equal to the swell- est New York tailor's work, right here in town at reason-

able cost!

We shall hold an exhibition of Fall and Winter Styles and Fabrics, at our store, on Monday, Tuesday and Wed- nesday, August 14, 15 and 16.

These are in almost endless variety and come from the famous Wholesale Tailoring House of Schloss Bros. 5 Co., of Baltimore S New York.

This grand array of stylish patterns will be in charge of an expert (utter and Fitter (from the above-named house i who is an authority upon all matters pertaining to Correct Dress for Men and the most appropriate style.

You would do well to consult him, even if you do not

intend to buy, as there is no better way of keeping in touch with the coming fashions.

If desired, he will take your measure and order your selection made up by Schloss Bros. & Co. Besides the cer- tainty of fit, quality and style, every one of their garments has that clean-cut look of finish and distinction that only the best of metropolitan tailors can produce.

I have arranged for the Cutter to bring the garments back basted up and have them fitted to the customer be- fore finishing.

The prices asked are not high,-~S20 to $35 will pay for an excelent Suit or Overcoat.

F.xoert Snow has announced that be believed the whoat crop would be fully 725,iMXt,tlOO bushels. This is I70,0U0,0"0 more than last year. In' addition to this Canada ill have a crop of 70,000,000 Thus the world 1 can count on almost KOO,000,(IOU bushels of wheat in North America This will be the greatest crop in the liisiory of the continent. In 1901 the wheui crop iii the United States was 748,0(10 ODD, but Canada pro- duced a vcrv small crop.

Corn ids.. promises to make a rc..rd l his year, some estimates put ting the yield at i,880,OO0,OO0 bushels when harvested.

The cotton crop is menaced by disaster. Private reports from the South are so bad that they are being withheld from publication until large operators can take their posi- lions in the maiket. The present heaviness of the coUou market is admitted by most observers to be manipulated in the interests of Operators who have sold out and want to accumulate a line of long contracts. Some reports place the total yield for the year as low as '.i.nOO.OOO bales, hut bjsitatt loniake the announcement publicly, lest it be considered loo sensational.

They are after Mr. Simmons again. The Charlotte Observer tells of a man who thinks the senior senator is a dead weight to the Democratic party and that bis leadership should be ended SI speedily as possible. However, it is notable that the gen- tleman didn't permit his naino to be mentioned and this is not at all to his credit, whoever l- nay 1 > Nor is Mr. Simmons likely to he dam- aged much 1 iy the criticism .if men wh'i decline to make known their identity Greensboro Telegram

II the law of supply and demand works even half way this year tobac co ought lo bring a big price. I'be crop last year was fully inii-ly mil- lion pounds short and the crop this year will not exceed thai ol last year, taken as a whole. The Southern Tobacco Journal says thai 'while there is an increase in acreage, from the best information at haud the acreage production will fall consid- erably below that of last year." It adds:

"A prominent warehouseman on a large bright market told US a few days ago that lie had traveled I brongh the better portion of the eastern tobacco sections, and that he .is satisfied thai th tmberof pounds produced this year would full far short of last year's production. He told us thai the weed had plenty of color, but was Ihin and papery.

'As to the conditions in the old belle, they arc in some sections more encouraging. In Uockingliam, lieu ry. Stokes, Gullford, Durham, Uran- ville. and other North ("arolina tobacco producing counties, the crop lot ks well, much better than a year ago. This is especially true as to the counties in Piedmont North Carolina and Virginia. If good seasons continue, we may look for an exceedingly good crop of chewing goods.

"!iut summing up the entire situ- ation, we can say without hesitation that this crop should bring good prices."

The demand for tobacco this year is great, particularly (or the bright, and prices should rule high. Ral- eigh News and Observer.

Doing asked for the reason for this marked iuipiove- ment the minister said, "Well, the reason for our people becoming more moral is due lo the fact that .ludge Shaw held court there last year." A better reason would be that "our people'' arc scared rather than mor- al. Judge Shaw is a fine judge und he can and docs bridle the leopard, but cannot change his spots,Char- ity and Children.
