JHpkrmville's Tobacco Market ojpeas Tuesday, September 6th., i?rih prospects of a banner year, ar this market has steadily grown from two small houses capable of handling only a few t&ttsand pounds to one that is HOW dreaded by aH of its compe titive markets, due to the high averages which have been made l^ahe over a period of years. * Starting off this season with! double sales daily and with each bbuse greatly enlarged, as well afe improvements made to the to bacco factories, Farmvilie is now we$ prepared to handle- nearly . MBoe as much tobacco as ever before in its history,. Last season tobacco was sold oh local warehouse floors from a distance of from sixty to seven ty-five miles, while this season farmers are expected here from even greater distance, j jPhis issue of The Earmvilte Iwterprise gives the major por tion of its space to the "Golden dud i I fi!f? an(^ com^ort ^e sor~ I I ?

"Tobacco, divine, rare, super-ex cellent tobacco, which goes far beyond all the panaceas of porta ble gold, and philosophers' stones is the crowning gift to mankind." Soon after its introduction in to the European countries the demand became so great that the Colony of Virginia was prac tically given over to its culture, being carried on in almost every country, even planted in the streets of the villages, and was used in the place of money as a standard of value. ; The cultivation of tobacco did not spread to North Carolina until centuries later, its culture was not introduced into Pitt county until sometime later and was being carried on in almost every state in the Union before the fertile soil of Pit$ began to bear the lemon colored variety for which it has now become so justly famous. : It was not until the year 1886 iFarmville which-is now a^no!te^ I of compactaess, convenience and I efficiency was not /brought into | existence until during the last ten or twelve years, when it be gan to emerge, a. mighty group of bride structuresv out of the ashes of the old wooden houses, which it occupied the first sever al years of its existence. I As the Fjtrmville market is now constituted, it offers unri valled facilities for the market ing of farmers' tobacco under conditions that guarantee the top doBar for every pound that is sold here. There are three largo auction sales warehouses, each with abundant floor space, and. ample efficient and experi enced forces to take care of any amount of tobacco that may be brought to market. They are ful ly equipped to offer every dollar mid convenience for the comfort of farmers and they are anxious and willing to accommodate their customers in every possi ble way.
