The average made on this mar ket last year was very good, not-with-standing it was being said by other markets that a certain firm, corporation or trust - was stealing the farmers tobacco and the farmers generally were well pleased, but what' would the average have been if ALL of our tobacco had been sold here ;, -. Now, we have no fight to make on our farmers who lsee fito sell on other markets, for this is a freecontry, as the Russian boy said when he was indicted in our Mayors court for licking his father. Yes, it is their privilege yoa w v Una lour ot- tne pest warehouses to :be found in any town.,. The , , s - WINSTEAD WAREHOUSE Is a new brick warehouse just completed and ready for the sale ) ot tobacco ! This warettouse is by f arbhe cf the best in the State This: is -strictly an up:to-date to se where they think best; even if it does cost them more to market it elsewhere. But we believe if our farmer friends woo Id consider the matte - a little thev would se' lesson the other mar kets and confine them selves to the home market; Now why do we say this? - ' Because one firm, the Ameri- an Tobacco Company, buys - the ars;er pootion of all tobacco which is sold in this .cbuntrx-. to day, and they have a large force here, representing all various branches for or any Janet is maae you can go hack at any ; time and have that little mistake i corrected. Yes, and after you ell you can buy I your j necessities f rom 'tlie. best class of merchants to be found time oh th.way forso long "a time. Sup pose you buy for your wife a pair of shoes, or anything she liap pens to instruct you to purchase for her, and y u , find K after you get home that the article you purchased is not just the thing you want. Now, if you have sold on a foreign market and made these purchases you are in for it because it is too small , , a, matter to pay. railroad fareHo have them exchanged, whereas if bought at home there ?is nothing to do bu fc just waituntil you or your neigh bor are ' gbing to town -which wi'T only be a" day or two, and youret'urn them and make the exchange and get tybat vis wanted ' Roxboroisno sma' in signifi1 who dbes know where the Hyco cant, two b y f ou r market, a He re J Warehou se' is ; located, we1 1 ,r we would like to see him nust for curiosity sakei It -is one of .the oldest houses in town and has always enjoyed a splendid trade, probably having sold Jmore tobacco than any .other single house;1 R- ."

Now, of course, these are small things but it is the .-sma-U things which inakeiup life. - V ' " But. the greatest reason why you should ipatroni2e f ourown I market is the fact that every dol- of the lar you turn lose at Taonte helps which' to build up your own county and they buy tobacco and these ; town, and. we should have pride buyers have the same schedule enough in our county to want U of prices which they have on all help build it up. When you make other markets, hence they will, a pound of tobacco you have made and do, pay just as much for the j something -which brought wealth same grades here as they do on j into your County, and the more a17 of the markets, And further, 1 Qf this wealth we keep at home we have on this market a strong the better schools, the better corps of independent , buyersj churches, the better roads Vwe with orders who are just as anx- will have, : and as they improve iousfor your tobacco as you yonwiU see manhood and woman- wi" tind on any other market, v hood on a higher plane.

R. J. Featherston & Col t run this house again this year and almost every man, woman and child in tne vjounry wno is m any. way connected with t raising tobacco know them; . , While thisf warehouse was one of the first houses to be erected:still it' is one of the most convenient best lighted and most comforta bleJaouses to be found. They have a splendid arrangement of staUs for the horses and mules, every thing lighted by electricity so that you ; will ; not have to be troubled with lanterns andworry about fire, Col. Featherston will do his own auctioneering, and as this is one of the most important things in the i wa rehouse . business, it goes witliout saying that no house any where will have a better , or more popular auctioneer than the Pioneer. Mr. Harry W. Winstead the junior member of the; firm; and oneof themost pophlir young men who ever entered the tobac co business will look carefully af ter you: interest in the ' ofiice. Full and complete force to look af ter your every interest. , l. TKE FARMERS WAREHOUSE This is a1 so a we'l lighted and conveniently arranged house and wi1' be run again , by the E; same firm as last season, Messrs. Mit ch&'& Carver. Mr, C. G. Mitch ell has probably had as much ex perience in the warehouse busi ness as any man in th?s section, and knows tobacco from the word go. Wnile his-partner, ,Mr. ,'Jas. fi; Carver, is an old, tobacco raiser and -knows v jugt how, to look after the interest1 of every farmer who se7ls with them. -, j They wiT? have a complete force, which will be announced later, and when you ,,: sell with them you need Jiave no fear as to being well treated and ; receiv- the very highest notch, for Mitch will never see a pile knocked down until he knows it has gone to its worth. - , , ' : . They cordially, invite you to sell with . them, and we . predict they will handle their . share of the business the coming season. ; THE HYCO WAREHOUSE. .
