AIC EXPLANATION OF
ITEM FROM AURORA
On August 18, the Dally News car-'
rled an article under the heading
"Upper, Ten, Qive the Swellest Occa
sion of the 8eason.' Soon afterwards,
our attention was called to the fact
that the published article was erron
eous. We Immediately began an In
vestigation to ascertain the authentic
facts la the case. We learned that
the persop, whose name was signed
to the article, did not write It, nor
did he know anything about It. Rut
It was written by soma other parties,
not for the purpose of creating ?ny
111 feeling, but only as a Joke. They
evidently did not nuppoee for a mo- '
me&t that anyone would take offense
at it. The News Is glad to make this
explanation and hope that we will :
not j again be Imposed upon in this
manner.

SDELBIM WRITES
Our sale today of about 2f?,000
pounds was very high, and we sent
every man homo well pierced with
his prices. As I have been writing
for the past two flays, tips are higher
than 1 ever saw them, and I would
advise everyone to moll t?em as soon
as they can get th*m ready.
A great deal Of damaged tobacco
is showing up on the sale, and it
Bhould not be mfoted with -the sound,
but picked out when the tobaccos are
graded, and sold separately, as dam
aged tobacco mfred In With sourtd
makes the wfiole pile undesirable.
I Advise people tto grade from the
top of the stalk% down, as the tips,
and next to tips are very high, and
the second and third putting* #111
improve in looks If left to the barn
1 until the weather Is cooler and more
settled
I We are selling everjr pile of our
tobacco for the top prices, and Vfth
*fr. Bass to cry the tobacco, we can
| guarantee every one of our custo
mers satisfaction.
Yours trulr.
