The clerking on the floor will be taken care of by Lester Powell and Ben Burnett. It is useless to say much about Lester as he is known far and wide in this belt. Ben Burnett has been on this market several years! and comes recommended to be as good as there is in the business., R. A. Stokes, better known to all his friends as "Dick" is the i floor manager for this house. He comes highly recommended and . has had many years of experience I in this capacity. Herbert Phifer. who was with I the armed forces last season, is : out now and back at his old I place helping in every way to see|' that the interest of the tobacco! farmers is not overlooked. There; are few persons any better known! in the surrounding section than I Herbert. Bill Eadon knows so many people in various counties, such as; Sampson. Dublin, Brunswick i Columbus and others, that it is; hard to find him when he is not J surrounded by many friends, j1 He will be at his regular post; lending a helping hand at all j times. Percy Gore from Nakina is' * considered one of the most sue-! cessful farmers of the entire j' county and has many friends. If; re has a hobby at all, one of them is helping to handle and j see that good tobacco is put on , :he floor for sale and then see that it brings the proper price. { Homer Register, one of the 1 rrain springs of the business, will 1 je on the job each night and of t jourse he has his hands full to 3 ook after the various duties. ?

Farm's Hardest Job The hardest thing on a farm, 1, think. Is trying to leach a calf to drink. You pull -and haul, get his head in a pail; He'll stand there and twist and wiggle his tail; And the very first thing, kerplunk! goes his nose, And most of the milk goes over your clothes Hang on to your patience, your teeth you can grit; If you can't hold your temper you might as well quit. For old Mother Nature whose methods don't fall Never meant for a calf to drink out of a pail. Back him into a corner, straddle his neck: He won't damage you much. ! you're already a wreck Just give him a finger, and maybe with luck That little old calf will start in to suck. Pick up your bucket and push his head down, rhen away you go again, around and around, rust do this a week with your back in a kink, A.nd maybe by then you'll teach him to drink! * South African Boers are of Jutch, French Huguenot, German ind British descent. >erienced tobacco men, there will j je Jim Thompson, Homer Amos ind Ed Smith who have been on he market for the past three fears ready to lend a willing hand ind greet their many friends hey have made here. mTTm BR OT Suppori A REASON: SERVIC inn o JK OE A GUAI 'X * THE STATE PORT PILOT.
