Thirty Five Dollars A Hundred.
Mr. D. E. Berry of Orange
county was in . town yesterday
with a load of tobacco and made
the biggest average which we have
seen reported on any of the old !
belt markets. He averaged $35
round for his entire load, clear
check. This tobacco was sold on
the floor on its merit and simplv
represents what can be done when

We are very gl ad indeed to be

when you sell in Roxboro you are
getting the best- to be had.
