appears in the last issue:
The oditor regrets to announce

circumstances alter the case to
such an extent that it will be im
possible to continue its publica

some freedom on various subjects, j
If you do not agree with The

great pleasure to help those who

A Biy Crop of Tobacco —Primings
Selling Well.
From all reports from every
neighborhood of the county there
is a very large crop of tobacco be
ing out—something above the av
erage. but the weight will possibly
fall a little short. The crop grew
in the shade largely, and for this
reason will be light. Many farm
ers are cutting prematurely, on
account of the leaves tiring up. A
majority of those who have cured
any, say it is curing very nicely.
Farmers who have sold prim
ings are |uite well satislied with
the prices received, and this is
hoped to be an indication that all
the markets will start oil' with
good prices.
