NedI Fc u At The Bijr Riverside Warehouse < Last Thursday Mr. Editor: ,t i. ...? ii..i ti i c ix cr usi mai ^ou wui permit me 10 "Bay through your paper a few things *' I wanted to say in person to the w Managers of the Riverside Indepen- . ^ dent Warehouse la9tThursday, after 8' having been their guest and receiv- ? ed such royal treatment upon that day, I say that I was their guest, but was simply there upon the general invitation sent out by them all 11 over the country, and while I was 8 practically- a sfranger to them, vetjl was shown the same courtesy and 01 received the same attention as * though thev had known rae all my m life. ' " . P' , . J] I live about 12 miles from LouisOI diurg, and the distance together with the fact that 1 didn't have any to-' ( bacco ready for market to take j ^ along with me baqsed me to feel a i j. lit'oe embarrassed tifc-jro: but Gee! ^ "v/ m when I reached Loutsburir about 10 i SO o'c>ock and got a glimpse at-the i gt "Big Riverside" and its surroundings that embarrasment that had aceompanied me vanished and faded away. | ^ The streets in front of the warehouse | .u were blocked and crdwdeJ with unpa loaded wagons and tobacco was still co rolling in. Well, it certainly looked like a ' Home Coming Day" to me. ^ I was greeted at the door by Mr. . Den Williamson .With a broad smile ; p of welcome -that he wore ill day^ 1 ^ and jnst over oar heads at the en- ' j, trance were Standing, five big <uu.-jj sicians who played and sang in an q| excellent manner. I beg^i to wish c< that I had brought my Vife and children and before the dav was . " 'j - " ? over I was reialv mad with myself because I ifi<|h't. Pretty soon tbe songs were hashed and the band be- w gan to play soft and low. A lady ^ standing near me seemed to have fallen into a poetic strain, whether e she was quoting or composing I did c not know, but this is a part of what n sbe said: " "There is sweet music here that y. ' V " softer falls ?, Than petals from blown loses ]on the j grass, .f-'? { Or night dews on still waters be- t tween walls r e I rnal ... I Hard, & | | GET YOU [P. A fc T-'-rr--?

By this time the entire tl >or was peered with tobacco and nearly all lie standing room taken. Men, romen and children were 111 there ? celebrate the biggest and most idendid opening sale of leaf tobac? that I have ever witnessed at any arehonse, whether at Louisburg or tsewhere. While tile band continued to play i that soft and melodious strain the ales commenced. As soon as potsile I made my way through the rowd to get as near the buyers as could, because after, all I was there ore to watch the sales and the rices than anything else. The crier, [r. Charlie Johnson, who has been i the Louisburg market for several >ars and who is himself a farmer id known to all to be a friend"to e farmer, was at his best, but out tbe first thing that attracted V attention was a tall and liandme young ladv who took her and with the buyers and continued 4ud throughout the entire sale. I as vetj much ini pressed with the ay in wfilobMr. Ford showed up le tobacco lo athe buyers, taking tins that every bundle received due insideration and holding both the ier and tbe buyers to eaoh pile till ; was satisfied that it had brought > last cent .Th-n too, George urd, one of the tooacco iarmer's d stand bys, was right there with le goods and made those other felws pay for what they got. Some t the tobacco arveraged 25 and 30 snta and everybody seemed to be ell pleased with what their tobacco rought. I have some tobacco tnyself, and hile I have never sold a pound ith the new Independent W areouse, yet I have heard and seen nough to con vince me that it has reated stringent competition on the larket at Loaisburg and I as. a farter expect to sell my whole crop on he floor at the ftigr- Riverside this ear. I feel that it ia ray duty to iatronage an interprise that is run or my protection and for rnv w?l. are, and it is my purpose to show he managers that I appreciate their Sorts on behalt of ua farmers by \ oft, Eurei IR SUPPl > - - m mmm ? * ' r V ~ " : '4* : -i' .

Tliei was mole pig than ever I saw serve from one table. 1 was told tin over seventeen hundred irays wei filled and I am sure that fultv tin many were emptied right then The meats were well cooked, spice and flavored and was served to ill Queen's taste. The crowd was o: derly and well behaTed, and since did not get to congratulate Mr. Ne Ford upon the q-uiet, manly an pleasant way that he carried th whole thing through and havia heard similar expressions from otl ers I have written this letter.
