DUNN, Harnett County, N. C.
DUNN, N. C„ August 7, 1901.
Tobacco Market.
An Auspicious Opening.
Last Wednesday was the Big
Opening Day of the Dunn To
bacco Market and if the prices
paid on this day indicate any
thing the weed will bring good
prices on this market this sea
son. The market promises to
be a greater success this season
than any previous year. The
warehousemen are determined
to make every grade of tobacco
placed on their floor this season
bring its full value. They have
made a reputation in the past
for paying good prices and
treating the farmers polite and
courteous and they will stand
by it this season.
The Dunn market promises
to maintain its former record
and is a hummer. "Competi
tion is the life of trade" and
our buyers are fully prepared
to meet the competition. Dunn
is among the best tobacco mar
kets east of Durham, and if
money and live buyers count
for anyhting it will remain so.
Prices on the opening day
ranged from $5 to $4O per hun
dred, and at this season the
grades are not very high. No
other market surrounding us
can show a higher average than
was paid in Dunn on the open
ing day. Nearly twenty-five
thousand pounds were sold and
not one farmer went away
dissatisfied with the prices and
there were many here from all
the surrounding counties.
Among the visiting buyers on
the floor we noticed Messrs. D.
H. Bodenhamer, and B. H. Co
zart, of Danville, Va., also Mr.
Willis Ward, Rocky Mount.
(These gentlemen said that
Dunn was paying more for to
bacco than any market they had
visited.)
This market has a full corps
of buyers all of whom have
large orders, plenty of money
and want tobacco. Stand by
the Dunn market and you will
be financially benefited. Our
warehousemen will look well to
each and every ones interest.
They do not intend to be second
to any market in the State for
high prices every day in the
week. Both houses open every
day. Bring your tobacco to
Dunn and you make no mis
take.
Had we ever been inclined
to question the progressiveness
of Dunn, we can do so no long
er. We see from a financial
statement that the go ahead
town collected $ll for dog tax
last year, and then invested $5O
in the same breed of animals.—
Mount Olive Advertiser.
Yes, Brother—we are pro
gressive and you find at Dunn
a market for everything pro
duced.
The Raleigh Post has the
following paragraph, which we
copy:
"Mr. C.*W. Skinner, former
ly of Halifax, removed to Har
nett county a year ago, believ
ing the soil of that county suit
able to the cultivation of pea
nuts. That his judgment was
good is shown by the following
from the Dunn Banner :
" 'Mr. Chas. Skinner, who
has a peanut farm near town
showed us some of the peanuts
grown on his farm Saturday.
They are fine and much earlier
than anywhere else. Mr. Skin
ner says they are at least three
weeks earlier than those grown
on the farm in Halifax county.
Mr. Skinner is an experienced
peanut farmer, and is making a
great success of the business
this season.' "
"Harnett county will yet
develop into one of the most
prosperous in the State. And
somehow we believe that oil
can be found below the surface
there when bored for the proper
depth."
We want 1,000,000 feet of
Oak lumber. Will pay $l5 for
No. 1 ; $l2 for No. 2 ; $8 for
Ho. 3.

accepted a more lucrative one
, with Mr. R. G. Taylor.
The B. C. A. Ball Team went
up to Hector's Creek Saturday
and got licked. The score was

Creek.
' Misses Minnie Parrish and
Susan Ella Hodges spent Sun
-1 day with their old B. C. A.

Mr. D. M. Hamilton, of the
Dunn Lumber Co., spent Sun

well to see him before buying

Quite a crowd of our young
people went up to the Belts
Mineral Springs Saturday and
had a fine little picnic of their
own. All report a fine time.
Rev. Berder Townsend, of
Robeson, is here this week as
sisting Rev. J. A. Campbell in
a series of meetings which are
being held here.

term will begin next Tuesday

SNOOKS.
I « , M
Mother and Sixty-four Little
Ones Meet Death.
One day last week in Upper
Little River township, near An
tioch church, a young man
named Geo. Parker, came across
a large sting snake and pro
ceeded to kill it which he suc
ceeded in doing. He found
with her G4 little snakes, all of
which he killed. Harnett is a
progressive county and will
come to the front.
Chair Factory For Dunn.
Lumber is now being cut and
the erection of a building will
commence immediately for tho
manufacture of chairs of all
kinds, lounges, etc. The en
terprise is under the direction
and management of Mr. James
Pearsall, one of Dunn's wide*
awake and enterprising busi
ness men, and we feel sure it
will meet every success it de
serves. The plant will be lo
cated 011 Railroad street opposite
the Fowler gin. For a long
time we have claimed that an
enterprise of this nature would
pay in Dunn and we are glad
to see our friends take hold of
it.
Dunn is a progressive town and
the world should take knowl
edge of the fact that we are
fully abreast with the progres
siveness of the times.
What Next?
Rev. W. W. Horton, colored,
brought an egg of a curious
shape into our office a few days
ago. It seems that the hen
had an idea of wanting to re
lieve the old ox of his heavy
yoke by laying a lighter one.
The egg is exactly the shape of
a yoke and about two inches
long, perfect every way only in
shape. If she had gone a little
further and made the egg
round like a rainbow, that
completing the circuit,
who knows but what we would
have had an automobile or an
electric motor of some kind.
The old hen did well if these
were her intentions, but she
will have to go by the old rule :
"If at first you don't succeed
try try again."
Died.
Miss Bettie Tart, daughter of
Mrs. Mollie Tart, and Mr. Na
than Tart deceased, died at her
home near here Monday night
of last week. She was sick
about two weeks of typhoid fe
ver. She was about sixteen
years of age. We extend sym
pathy to the bereaved ones.
That is what everybody says they get who sell Tobacco at

To Tobacco Farmers:
We had our Opening Sale on tho first of August. The
prices paid for tobacco on that clay on the floor of the Planters
Warehouse speak for themselves and everybody was happy with
their sales.
Some may say that we pay more than the market price, but
if you want to get the highest prices for your tobacco always
bring it to the
Planters Warehouse.
We expect, and will make every pound of tobacco placed
on our floor sell for as high a price as in any warehouse in
North Carolina. We know whereof we speak. We have orders
for all grades, and also intend to buy a large stock.
YOU KNOW THE REPUTATION OF THE DUNN
MARKET FOR HIGH PRICES, and we will see that it shall
still maintain that reputation.
High Prices and Honest Dealings •
Is Our Motto.
Try us with a load and you will sell your entire crop of
tobacco with us. 1
eWSales every day from now until the season closes,
f®-With a corps of good buyers, anxious for tobacco we
expect to sell more tobacco in Dunn this season than ever before.
not allow others to induce you to carry vour
tobacco elsewhere, but drive to the Planters and get the highest
prices. We mean what we say. n
Grade your tobacco and place it on the floor in "ood
condition and we will have 110 trouble in pleasing you.
With thanks for past patronage, I am,
