SANDERLIN, whose funeral was solemnized from the Park Avenue Baptist Cliitrch Friday, November 9th, Rev. Dr. J, J. Hall offl ctatlng, was a gentleman of excellent character both as a Christian and citizen. A Confederate soldier, who ha? known Major Snnderlln from early boyhood, a period of 5v) years, says that Major Sa dorlln was a farmer In the lower si lion "f Camdtn county, N. C. prior to tv.tU during ti part of the war between the North and South. But the sympa? thisers with the North, after the evacua? tion of Norfolk and Eastern North Caro? lina by ihe Confederate forces; were \< :y obnbxlOUS to the people 111 Ills set :1 !i :.nd became very troublesome, doing It gr at deal of pillaging and plundering. Th good people, under the leadership of .Major Snnderlln as their commander, rose up in arms, and with the aid of other companies formed in different coun? ties kept the marauders down, ami Major Snnderlln, with twenty-five or thirty men. wen I to the Albcmarle nnd Chesa liei ke Canal, on the North Carolina rifle, and Captured two Yankee gunboats with their entire equipments, lien ran these boats through ihe North Carolina sounds Up the Chowan river and burned them anil sent them prisoners to Richmond. Later on during the war Governor Vance called out these companies and organised what was known as the Sixty Eighth North Carolina Iteglmont, and Major Kanderlln. for bin conspicuous bravery, was promoted major of the reg? iment, which did galtent service on many battlefields during those memorable limes. Shortly after the close of hostilities Major sandcriln was arrested by order Of Cent ral Canby and Imprisoned In the jail Itl Nowbernc, N. C but never had a trial, his friends interceding and secur? ing bis liberation. He then went to his b ine- in Cam den and resinned his voca? tion as a farmer, In which he was emi? nently successful! but In later years of his life he told his estate nnd came to Norfolk, where he was overtaken by ad? versity, which ho bore with fortitude nnd resignation. To-day a tew of his close friends committed his mortal remains to mothor earth. A bravo sodllcr, a true Christian, an upright elllacn has entered upon his eter? nal rest. May we all Imitate his spirit of meekness and humble resignation, live IIS he lived and pass away as he did to Ihn Spirit Worjd In full assurance of a bl sscd Immortality.

I needed a good rest to put me right: but instead of taking it. went to work in an olllce with very confining duties. "My health grew no better: I felt un? fit for work nnd at night would lie awake Severn! hours before sleep would come. The appetite was gone entirely. One morning a new dish appeared on tho tnbie. Grape-Nuts with cream. We all thought it an excellent food, and I not only enjoyed breakfast that day, hut dinner and supper as well. "Tills rather surprised the. Since tlint 1 have- made the food a regular article of diet. 1 keep a box on hand al the office and often lunch on Grape Nuts and cream instead of going home to dinner. "Although It was in tho summer when I Started the use of tho food. It was not long before T had gained 1". pounds, and 1 know it is from the use of this food that I can stand so well the Indoor work. My health Is now perfect: sleep sound and enjoy my meals, but find T do not need to eat so much volume of other food while eat? ing Grape-Nuts. "A short time ago I thought Grape Nuts were commencing to disagree with me. but found it wan because I was rating more than von recommend. T ?imnlv ate too much at a time nnd moy than the system required. When 1 returned to thrt regular 'feed' of four hearing teaspoons, tho old zest for the food returned."

PEANUT CROP OF 1900. Holmes & Dawson's Report of Conditions at Maturity. TlieQunllt} and Yield Only About to ivi Cent, of mi Average Crop. Statistical Condition <;ood and Active Trade Ex? pected. In accordance with our usual custom for n number of years past we here-j with submit our annual report on the! peanut crop. \Ve do not claim perfec? tion for these reports, but they are the result of our best endeavors to get in? formation from reliable sources ;.il over the peanut sections of both Virginia and North Carolina. There is no other systematic effort1 made to get at existing conditions nor any published report or record kept other than that issued by ourseh is, and it is looked upon an l recognized by the peanut handlers as direct and reliable information which car.net bo gotten elsevt here. We give the inquiries sent > ul and the result of the tabulation of same. First. What was the acreage planted in peanuts in your neighborhood as compared with last year. The replies to this question show that ?10 per cent, indicate 'he acreage to be the same or about the same as last reason: f>5 per cent, say that the acre? age is 80 per cent, or four-fifths of ih.it of last year, and 5 per cent, mention ah average increase of 11 per cent. Second. What proportion of an aver age crop will there be? As alluded to in former reports, it is always difficult to carry in the mind the defined i iea of an average crop an I to draw away the thought of a com? parison With the crop just pre I ? Making what we conceive to be a due allowance for this fact In conjunction with our replies to this Inquiry, we give it as the result of our Investigation that there will be 70 per cent, of an uver^r-.e rro?. Thirl. How is the quality? Are there many Masted and poppy nuts re? sulting from drought? Tlilrty-?rie per cent, report the qual? ity fair: SO per cent, that It Is poor, a large proportion of blasted and poppy nuts: 12 per cent, that the quality is very poor, and 7 per cent, give quality as good. ' Fourth. What i* your estimate ol the yield per acre In bushels? The average yield as given in reply is ;s bushels. The crop of isno was the largest crop ever raised and more land was devoted to the culture of pea mils. In view of ibis and the very considerable advance in price of coton at planting time, it was but natural to anticipate o reduc? tion of acreage in peanuts, yet from our replies it seeing that the reduction is not material, being, we would Judge, something like 10 per cent. It is In the out-turn of the cmp that the shortage occurs. Seldom In the history of the plant bar. It had K> con lend with such unfavorable weather conditions. Wook^nftor week no rain fell, and ihe burning suns dried up and destroyed the germinal and producing faculties or the vine. Peanuts require moisture, and tr this Is withheld, ns it was to an eminent deorree through the past Bummer, we hiay hoi look for a/ crop. There Is great urilf?imilty in the replies as to the quality. The general complaint is that the i uls are blasted and poppy, a great many one-end nuts or kernel In onts end und nothing in the other. There is no milldcw mentioned, ami there seems to bo but two quali? ties '>'?' nun. the good dhd the poor. The summing up of the situation shows thdt the Supply 6f peanuts this year win be less than last season; ii til the quality is generally poor, owing to long continued drought, and (bat the yield Is .- lightly under average. A lnrger quantity of old crop peanuts than usual has been carried over Into the new crop and these, together with the new crop, will afford such a supply aa will probably meet the needs of the trade at advanced figures. Wo have always tried to take a conservative View of things, and while we believe that the present crop will sell for more money per pound than that of last year, we do not think that stich short? age will show up as to warrant the rancy prices which some are inclined to count on. The market has opened up well end good stock Is in tjemni d, rind such stock will meet with ready Bale rill through the season. Reallzlngithal thq quotations which have recently pre? vailed on this market were quite satis? factory and an advance over those usual nt the opening of the s' I >plng season, the shipper's of peanuts have begun to market their peanuts more rai idly. This action has not been in the Interest of a goo:i steady n rkel ns with few exceptions the nuts have r >; !??;?. n in good condition, heim: too green. Those already bought have to be stored until they get dryer before they can be worked, up into fact try branded goods. So far no n.-v.- t. nuts have been sold by the factories. They have quite n supply of old peanuts on hand arid o-.tr of these they will lill lh< l.r orders. The trade throughout the country is better Supplied with pea? nuts this season than last and nil this has the efi'rci of curtailing the <!? :. md for the new crop. We nnttclpntc thnt when the weather gets cooler and peanuts dry out more and are in better con-Jition that the market will settle itself i,,t_? generally Improved conditions both a ; to de? mand and price. It is likely that un? usual efforts will be made tr. buy up the good stock in the cou.urv by fac? tory agents rind thus to leave the i or stock. Wo believe that if ship: .' tili season would sell their peanuts In Norfolk, letting all grades come to market rather than part with their good stock as wc have indicated, thai i-r ??--> a Any Children? Then v.c'!! fjuarantcc thev \ have hard colds. No child j crejpes. It's cither a hard cold. < tlic croup, bronchitis, or the whopping-cough. There's but one remedy.

The commission men here es? tablish and make the market to this degree that their effort Is always to push prices tip to such a level as Is proportionate to tho demands and needs of the trade in factory-cleaned goods, and without their support to the mar? ket buyers who are plentifully supplied with a share of human nature would have things pretty much their own way. Taking a view of the whole situa? tion as it now presents Uself to our minds, we Blyo it as our conviction that the financial outcome or lesult to tho growers and handlers of the present crop of peanuts will bo such as will bo remunerative and satla'.nc tory. Addressing ourselves to our cus? tomers and friends, permit us to say that we think our reputation for tin! SUCCCstifUl sale and disposition of pea? nuts on this market is well known and established. To those, however, with whom we have not heretofore hn? bus? iness relations WO have to say that wj would appreciate the opportunity of showing them by practical exporSence the advantages we possess in tho in? telligent sale and handling of their shipments.
