Seven^ Buyers to be on the Market ? Out--* look Good* Ab will be seen from the advertise ments in another column the Louis burg Tobacco Market will open for the sale of tobacco on Thursday, Septem ber 2nd, with everything in readiness for a strong season. This season The Farmers' Union Warehouse. The Farmers' Warehouse and the River side will be run and each one is making every possible convenience and accommodation for their custom ers and the management assure us they will leave no stone unturned to secure -for the tobaoco growers who Visit this market the very highest prices and to put Louisburg at the top of the tobacco markets of the State in the opinions of the farmers as well as fn the number of pounds sold. There will be seven to buy tobacco on this market this year. They are S. T. Wilder for the American Tobacco Co., H. A. Carlton, for the Imperial Tobacco Co., T. W. Webb, for the Ex port Tobacco ^Co., J. B. Thomas for Leggett-Myers Tobacco Co., C. B. Cheatham Co., S. J. Parham and E. S. Ford, independent buyers. The Farmers' Union Warehouse will be run this year und6r the same management as last year. Mr. W. H. Jenkitas, of Henderson will have charge of the sales while Messrs. Will Fuller and Hugh Hlght will have charge of the books and floor, Mr. B. T. Bailey, who has been auctioneer for the Riverside for a number of years will be with them. This composes a force, whose ability is recognized and appreciated by all who know them, and who are always alert at looking after the Interest of their customers. The Riverside Warehouser will be run this year by Mr. J. A. Turner, who is well known to all of franklin and adjoining counties as one of the beet insurance men in the State. He will have as his assistant Messrs. John N. Harris, and B. N. Williamson, as managers, D. T. Williams and John E. Williams as book keepers and Mr. C. E. Johnson, of Apex a9 auctioneer. Mr. Harris has been identified with this market ever since it bccame one and his success has been gained from ex perience. Mr. Williamson lias been closely -identified with this particular house for several years and has won quite an enviable reputation as a tobaccoorist while Mr. C. E. Johnson is known as one Of the best auction eers in the State. Tll^ Messrs. Wil liams are well known to you as young men of ability and are at their best in th^lr respective positions. The Farmer's Warehouse, with Mr. S. S. Meadows as manager, has a wide reputation through this section. Its manager is one of the senior tobacco men on this market and his experience has been such as to place him In posi tion to give every convenience and ac comodation to the farmer. He will be assisted blUMK Grover C. Harris and Mr. C. E. Johnson, as auctioneer. Mr. ^ ? Harris, experience in keeping books ? for warehouses is ample and has won for him a reputation of being one of the best and most accurate in this sec tion. Mr. Johnson's ability as auction eer is too well known to you all to need further comment from us. With the enumerations above it can easily be seen that Louisburg's pre parations for selling tobacco this fall have not been compromised but in creased, end every possible effort will be made to sell more tobacco for more money than ever before. Since putting the above in type we understand Mr. G. W. Ford will run his warehouse on Nash sreet. This will give Louisburg four warehouses instead of three. He is now making arrangements to make his announce ment of his opening sale. Farmers' Union Speaking and Barbe cue.
