These gen tlemen are no strangers to the farmers of Halifax, Nash and other counties, having for many years been1 in the tobacco ware house . business in Warrenton. The warehouse will be under the personal management of Mr. Hunter and with the experience and ample capital these gentle men have, will add much strength to this market. : Opening of the Tobacco Market. The Enfield Tobacco Market opened this morning with what may be considered a fair break for an opening sale. While the quality of the weed was hot very good the price paid for it could not be called very fair. As the season advances the farmers will likely get more for their tobacco than the prices now indicate. ; The Advice Worth he Money.
