working out
Some vi.-ion on a canvas of earth ana
acre's instead of one of fabric and
inches. Three miles out you round
the beautiful home and stately grove
of Mr Thus Can in, and the green and
fertile hills in the distance greet your
eye, and the little hamlet of Providence
swings into view. As our car speeded
along the highway, fringed with green
arui yellow tinted verdant fields, we
realized to the full that the study of
tobacco roots and com roots are just
as honorable and legitimate subjects
of interests and mental development
as Greek roots and Latin roots, and as
we descended the highway to the wind
ing valley of the Tar we envied the
lad who can live contented amid the
golden leaye.s which will enrich him.
Out of the valley you guide to therigh,
and behold the ton upon ton of the
fragrant leaf bowing to the breeze, re
joicing as it were, in the thought that
it is nredestined to fill the bowls of
the pipes of the .kings and potentates
of the earth. Over to the right.on the
grand plateau upon which rests the
pleasant little hamlet of Culbreth, a
mountain rises abruptly above the
green foliage of the earth, and who
can tell but what God in his wisdom
placed it there for some good purpose,
as it is known that the seasons are
getting shorter year by year and the
frosts of a future age may threaten to
nip the tender sinew of the golden
leaf In that day and time a bonfire
on that little mountain will notify the
people of the golden belt that the frost
is on its way to sting the toes and
tips of old King Nichotine.
You cannot note all the beauties
along the highway to Culbreth through
the aristocratic Dutch door of a speed
ing touring car, but ve saw enough
t convince us that tiie blossom and
bloom and fertility of Granville belong
out there. We noticed several big
muscular, magnificent horses, such as
you seldom see in the South, which
they use in cultivating the land in
such thoroughness as to produce the
luxurious, fragrant golden leaf. The
round trip to Culbreth consumed only
one hour and it was pleasing to note
the uniform courtesy of passing cars
and vehicles existing on the pictures
que thoroughfare.

New Warehouse Firm.
The good old reliable and popular
Farmers Warehouse will open on Sep
tember 4th under the management of
Parham & Parham. Mr. Ernest Par
ham, a Granville county man, is in
active control of the warehouse and
his cousin, Mr W. A. Parham, is the
other member of the firm. Mr. Ern
est Parham has been connected with
tobacco markets in another Dart of
the State for some years, and what he
does not know about the warehouse
business is net worth knowing, and
whatever Parham &. Parham says you
can "put it in your pipe and smoke it."
The Farmers Warehouse is one of the
most comfortable and best lighted
structures of the kind to be found
anywhere. They wiil spare no expense
in making things both pleasant and
profitable to their customer who come
from far and near. See their adver
tisement on the fourth page of this
paper.
Mr. Will Parham is the popular mill
man in Oxford and is one of our most
highly esteemed citizens and will
prove a hustling warehouseman.
Mr. Bob Hart, one of the best "wind
men" in the State, will continue as
auctioneer, and the popular Gibson
Howtdl and Will Waiters, the figuring
men, will be the book-keepers, which
wiil assure accuracy in weighing and
making out bills.

VOLUME 25. NO. 74
READY FOR NEW CROP.
Warehouses Will Open About
September 4th---Crop
is Promising.
The Oxford warehouses, after being
closed for four months, will open up
for business about the 4th of Septem
ber. All indications at this time noint
to a large crop, although in some sec
tions rain is badly needed. Some of
the tobacco growers are alarmed nt
the long and continued dry spell and
predict that the farmers are loosing a
nice sum of money every day by vir
tue of the drought. There is no deny
ing the fact that a larger crop was set
out in this section than in former
years.and this increase in acreage, to
gether with the constantly increasing
acreage from which the Oxford market
draws, is believed to mean this mar
ket will pass the nine million pound
mark this tobacco year. The opinion
seems to be general that a large part
of the crop will be sold early in the
season.
Our warehousemen are busy these
days getting their establishments in
shape for the season. There will be a
slight change in the personel of the
warehousemen the coming season.
Mr. J. F. Meadows retires from the
Farmers' Warehouse and becomes a
buyer on the market. Parham fit Par
ham will run the Farmers' this season;
Banner, by W. L. Mitchell; Johnson, by
Mangum & Watkins; Owen, by Will H.
Fleming. Mr. ?nest Parham, who is
now associated with the Farmers
Warehouse, & a Granville county man.
He has been in the tobacco business
at Greenville, Pitt county, for a num
ber of years. We are glad to have
him return to his home county; he is a
fine man and will give universal satis
faction as a warehouseman. The Ox
for warehouses handle all grades of
tobaeco.
The Oxford tobacco market is the
most reliable market in this section of
the State. The farmers grow a super
ior grade and it is always in demand
at a high price. Lower grades, too,
are in demand. The stability of the
market is becoming better known from
year to year, and if we do not reach
the nine million mark this season it
will be because the yield falls short of
our expectations.
