Interesting to Farmers.
Farmers having about wound
up curing their tobaccd, the next
thing that is of the most vital
importanf^e to you is. How will
this Crop sell. I wish to say for
your information, that every in
dication points to good prices
and farmers will in some degree
be remunerated for their labors,
which they are justly due.
would advise farmers to sell their
commonest curings first as there
is a great deal of common
tobacco in this crop. My impres
sion is, that prices
good as they will
class of tobacco,
pretty fair sale^ for the past few
days. I do not think I have seen
tobacco sell so w’ell in ten years
in Sept. as it is selling now. We
have all of the big tobacco com
panies represented on our mark
et, also two or three independent
buyers, which makes Burlington
one of the leading markets in the
state and MORGAN the hustler
the leading warehouse man as to
prices.
When you are ready to sell come
right on to MORGAN'S ware
house where you will get the
very best attention and the very
best piices for your tobacco. I
will assure you I greatly appreci
ate your patronage since I have
been in Burlington and I hope to
merit a good share of your pa
tronage this season. Promising
you my very best efforts at all
times,
Your friend,
E. L. MORGAN.

Durham, Sept. 22 —The mer
chants' association has taken up
the county fair agitation aftor a
long rest, with the result that
work will begin earnestly next

came near having such a thing
last year, but failed at the last
minute because ground wasn’t
available. Durham as one o! the
small counties which makes its
real estate for such a purpose
hard to secure. A good fair
ground is almost as large aft the
outside country.

The attendance arid offering in

day was a record breaker.
The Men’s Bible Class Associ
ation of Burlington has been or
gan! zee and making its weekly
reports through its secretary of
attendance and offering for eve
ry week since August 26, 1910.
Below is a comparison of at
tendance and offering Aug. 26,
1910 and September 24, 1911, a
period of thirteen months:
Total August 26,1910—Attend
ance 117; Offering $7.91.
Total September 24, 1911—At
tendance 381; Offering $19.30.
Another idea: The efficient
wrork of Mr. W. E. Sharpe, Stipt.
of the M. E.. S. S. should be an
example to the other Superinten
dents of our town' and the in
dustry of Mr. 0. F. Crowson,
the M. E. Baraca teacher must
also be reckoned with by all of
us. Brother Wright to, is doing
a good work with the Webb Ave
nue people. In fact there is not
a school in town that is not doing
creditable work.
Our motto: “We Do Things.”
Our platform: “Young Men
at Work for Young Men, all
standing by the Bible and the
