some 1300 votes in the General

The vote for Kennedy and

voters to abstain from voting
and some others to vote for
the Republican Presidential
and Gubernatorial Candidates.

On November 18
The Warrenton Tobacco
Market will end its 1960 mari
keting season at the end of
sales on Friday, November 18.
Edgar Wood, sales supervisor,
said this week in announcing
the closing that the Warronton
market?had?enjoyed- one
of the best seasons in the
history of the market.
Wood said that the market
has already sold more than ten
million three hundred thousand
pounds of tobacco this season
and is expected to reach
the eleven million mark by
the end of the season. He
said that while the market had
exceeded this amount in
poundage, this was before recent
cuts in acreage. On a
percentage basis it has been
our best season, and the best
on a basis of money received,
he said.
Both farmers and warehousemen
have been well pleased
with sales this year, Wood
said. He added that there has
been little if any dissatisfaction
with prices and that many
farmers have expressed their
pleasure over the prices paid
for tobacco this year

on the site. He said that
the company would prefer sewage,
but could use a septic 9
tank if necessary, as little
water wpuld be used in the

pose of the line, he said, would
be to provide sufficient pressure
to operate the sprinkler
system of the proposed facThe
company would bear all
the cost of erecting the building
and would pay a fair price fcM
for the land, but not an exorbitant
price, Bowers said.
Bowers said that the com- rH
pany is seeking a 30-acre site ' xU
upon which it would build a I
factory about three times as sH

is to find a suitable location B
close enough to town so that B
the cost of running a water

prohibitive.
Three sites have already
been offered to the Bute Development

said. These are the Creech :.B

Harold Skillman, sagartntendent
