Other important questions were dis cussed also. Mr. Tracy Stockard of the local to bacco market was present by request and made one of the best and com prehensive talks in regard to the needs of the market. This was especially interesting to the association because it came from a tobacco man. The association has been at a loss to know what course to pursue in view of the fact that some of the people who should be the most Interested in the tobacco business in Loulsburg are the most indifferent to the needs of the buyers. The Business Men's Association ia entirely responsible for getting the open market back again, also in gat ing Messrs Hutcherson, Perry and Cheatham interested in the warehouse I business here. | These three were also present at .the meeting and gave some valuable |, Information in regard to the 1927 needs.
