Some one has truly said "There' lsa time in the life of man, which if S rtalseri at Jpie flpoli ' tideleads fon id succesi," and o if has- jproyen ; the. case with Oxford, for" it came in with its unsurpassed Yellow Tobacco at a time when it was fojelyeeded, and its course ever since pas ;been a prosperous ptie. f LPriorlto JSl, tfie Tobicc inter ; est of this place amounted to practically nothing:, owing to a want of railroad, warehonse and banking: fatilitiesJ InfAiS?-t, 1881, a railroad -wag- completed,- wmch tapped the Kaieigh &Ua3 ton; Railroad at Henderson, i distance of thirteen miles, in v ing Oxford an outlet to the outer ' -world. "With the openiug of the railroad the business public. be gan to see tn-dawn or a new - era, and in that year there, was sold about a half million pounds ot lobacco, and the sales. ot wind have steadily "increased, unti I they now amount to about .eis&t I . million pounds of Leaf Tobacco a ; year. The demand for the golden hued, or Yellow Tobacco,, has 5 I-al waya '., be en gre a TA. a ud J i rt i i stc f, always will be tor tliatiwhich , - iiats Jnmit,! as tlie supply bas , never bec-n equal to the wants oi the niahufaciuiitig Trade. North Carolina is peculiarly the-region in whieh Bright Tobacco attains -the highest state of excellence. It is designated by the terms "Gold Leaf," ''Fancy - Bright,". rUranViller Bright," e.t. f The ! section rfround Qxfordis known as the "Granville Tobacco Belt," in vhich are embraced several counties. ? The tobacco, produced in Granville county proper is said to have no equal, the - shade, flavor and texture '"being to 0 marked that the ex pert dealer, will at once, recog nize it by these qualities, bo weH established has the produc tion of; this cquntyr become; that there is never ny lack of orders on. the market for it, and hardly feVer anv limit for Brigh't Wrap- i pers and' (Cutters. The Wrap . -pers are prized for their clear ness, being almost transparent at l times, bjt at the same time hav ing what Tobacco manufacturers very much desire toughness, i I The Cutters, lor Cigarette , pur j posesi arenever adrag, for they are sought alter, by every man l.ufacturer ofCigarettss for the purpose of mixinsr with other Iobacc to add aroma to it. : " ilMrJ Augustus ; Voelcker,"va no- ? ! ted chemist ; of London, Engl and, f "jin ft' report upon Bright Tobacco, " f specially referred to that of Gran j ville County. He said: "I find ; merely traces qf nitrates tin the i jaucy Dngiii looaccu, wmcu per liaps is one of thereasons why j the tobacco Iras a very mild taste. Another and most important fact ( ,whichmy investigations ,have " brought jto light is that the 5ran ville County Tobacco con ; tains little nicotine, which I am inclined to regard as a good fea ture in this Tobacco. The coarse, strong tobacco, such as is grown in the "Palatinate, contains three or four times as much nicotine," and Dr. Voelcker further, adds, 'Granville Bright is one of the finest flavored' mild Tobaccos . I ever smoked, poor in nicotine, and albuminous compounds, the absence of swhich is v a good a nd distinguish in g characteristic;' . . 'Whi 6 Oxtdrd issituated lrf Granville County, which produces from three to fiur million pounds f of Tobacco a Jear, it is not her only source of supply, as lo bacco is sold here f rom Person, Caswell, Durham, Orange, and Vanee counties, al of Jhem- pro dttcing -Bright Tpbaccoa.

The crop sold here shows defects complained of ia the ether North Carolina markets. The red Unge does not Dredominatein Tobacco 'of this section as in spp34 others, but it is an! lmperieci crop as a whole, being very nondescrTpt: AH grades are rnJinjr higb, and every Wrapper4 and Cut ter pile .-8old finds .readytaKers at, iuij prices.
