Spirits Turpentine Rising.
The price of spirits ol turpentine
has been steadily advancing duri"g
the past let. days ami is now at 1)4
cents a gallon, a prtoo not reached
since March 1892. In the meantime
the prices averaged about 27 oents a
gallon, uml at ono time the products
was sold as low as 23 cents.
The receipts for the lust month
have been very light, and ns the eon-
tinned cold and wet weather retarded
the llmv id' tin* erode turpentine from
the trees, it is probable that the new
crop will not begin to go to murkc
for several weeks.
It is expected that when the
weather settles and becomes warmer,
tlie business will open up in earnest,
and operators will lie kept busy dip
ping the turpentine and distilling it.
There is every indication tlmt the
price will hold up to u fair average
for the season’s crop. Exporter’s
have already been bidding 2ti cents
for summer deliveries, which is a
better price than they have offered
during the past two years.

As predicted is these columns last
week, wo now have two schools in
Enigma. Miss Lucy llatle opened
a school yesterday with thirty ono
pupils in nttuiidunco. There are live
or six others who will enter at an
early date, so that Miss Haile’s school
will number from thirty-live to thir
ty-eight pupils. We regret this di
vision, for with the schools combined
and properly handled, wo could have
a school right, at this place. But it
is ever thus; the whole world scorns
to ho divided, and in u state of con
fusion. Rkuui.au.
