Increased facilities for handling the farmers’ offerings are expected to result in much heavier sales from this time on. The first week's sales here, for only four days, amounted to a total of 212.- 314 pounds, which brought $26 808 11. for an average price of $12.62 rer hundred, according to official figures announced today by the Henderson Tobacco Board of Tradec. This was ; iess tobacco than the first week of lajt year, but an average price of near- j lv $2.40 per hundred higher than at , the 1931 opening .when the first week's ' average was only $10.25. The season started off here with one of the highest price averages re- , ported in any belt that has has yet gotten under way for the season, when on last Tuesday 125.302 pounds sold for $13.06. Offerings were said to be of a poorer quality than last year at that. Sales all week have been rather light, due to the fact that much cur ing is still going on, and growers are also busy picking out 'their coUon. f which will not save ir\. the field. Thro- i ughout the week, however, the mar ket has ruled very firm and prices | have been strong, exceptionally so. nc- ' cording io tobacco men, in view of the ' poorer quality of weed offered. ; Common grades have sold two and ! throe times as high as last year, and \ th» better types have held their own. j Few tags have been turned, if any! at all, and the farmers have apparent- i ly been pleased at the increase offered 1 thsm for their tobacco.

This is necessary not only tor the benefit of the otficers and direc tors of the bank but for the exam iners of the Banking Department when they examine the bank. “Credit is based to a large extent upon the careful attention which borrowers give to their loans. The ‘due date’ is the time when every loan should be paid and in case the borrower desires to extend part of his loan the time to ar range for this is before the due date and not afterwards.

Bidding was keen and competition more pronounced, all of which makes for better prices and a stronger market. A good deal of tobacco is still in the fields throughout this territory, and considerable curing is still in pro gress. This is due to the lateness of the season, which was beset by dis- L ease and plant pests in the spring, j and by unfavorable growing seasons in the summer, to say nothing of the i shortage of plants that is so mark- I ediy reflected in the short crop, j Estimates are that the crop in thda I section this year will not be more thstn half of last year’s production at best. | and some havo said that it' woujd I hardly be more thdn a fourth.

Lettings yesterday had nothing to do with the equipment and furnish ingß of the new building, all of which will be purchased' under State con tracts, according Superintendent ' Rollins. There were several Henderson bid ders on the construction project, but it was stated that the low estimates were accepted In each instance. The new uuikllng will be one story, of brick construction, and will have eight class rooms, and an auditorium seating about 400, together with ad ministrative offices. The structure is to replace one that burned last spring. The Institute, owned by the Board of American Missions of the Northern Presbyterian Church, has been in op eration here for more than a third of a century. The church board did not have the funds to replace the burned building, and offered the SB,OOO insur ance to the county if it would replace the building .which was agreed to and SIO,OOO was borrowed from a State fund for that purpose ,to be repaid KIWANIANS GUESTS AT CHICKEN DINNER Entertained by Mist Kimball and Mr. Davis At Towns ville Friday Eighty-eight percent of the Kiwar.is club membership was present at its meeting held yesterday afternoon at 5 30 o'clock at the home of J.
