Everyone in Town and County Pull
For It.
The Roxboro tobacco rrarket
will open on the 1st of Septem
ber. The mark set for this year
is ten million pounds, and there
is no good reason why wd should
not reach it. Were this market
to sell this amount there would
still be a good portion of the crop
to go to other markets, for be it
remembered that all the tobacco
sold here is not raised in this
County. Our neighbor County
Caswell hao no market and much
; of the tobacco comes here, and
rightly, for this is the nearest
market to them, and here they
find every convenience that is
found any where, and they know

We recomend the following re

to be torn away and replaced
with more substantial ones,, and

the brick over the doors and
windows be fixed, it is liable to
fall out and hurt some oi 4 z

We also recommend that the
end of the long building be re

not fall out, it is in a very dan

The object? of this meeting is to
perfect arrangement for the
pooling of this crop of tobacco in
North Carolina and Virginia.
Prominent speakers from Tenn

present. Mr. Chas. S. Barrett,
the President of the National
Convention of the Farmers
Union of America will be present
and will be the principal speaker.
Let every local Union and
Countv Union send delegates to
any other maiket. Yes, and they
raise a fine grade' of tobacco
which is much sought after.
There is as little friction be
tween the country people and
the town in this section as we
have ever seen, yet, many of our
good farmers will year after year
sell their tobacco off other mar
kets, knowing when they do so
that they are helping to build up j ,

At the Pioneer will be found
Mess. Featherston and Winstead
This is the same firm which
opened last season, but owing to
the health of Col. Featherston
he sold out to Mr. H. W. Win
stead. The Col's, health is very
much inproved, in Vact it is so
good now that he could hardly
get any insurance company to
take him, fearing that he would
never die. The Pioneer has al
ways been a popular house, ow
ing to its location and good re
cord in management. Col. Feath
erston, the oldest auctioneer on
the market, and a better one can
not be found anywhere, will do )
the auctioneering, and every far
mer knows when Rube knocks

You take no chances when you
drive to the Pioneer, for you will
be in the hands of your friends.
W. T. Pass & Co. will con
tinue to run the Hyco. Of course
they will, Tobe Pass has been in
charge here so long that it would
cause him to scrap were we to
state how long for be it known
he is still a "young" bachelor.
Mr. Pass will have the manage

benefit themselves. If other
markets were superior to Rox
boro, if they got more money for
their tobacco on these markets,
or if they were in anyway bene
fitted by such a sale it would be
different. Now let's stop this
business this season and resolve
right at the outset that as long as
Roxboro pays us as much as
.elsewhere that we are' going to
sell at home.

It's useless to mention the
fact tha ample money is here to
hanele the crop, as our market
was the only one which paid
Cash through the panic and has
never used scrip."
Roxboro has four strong, well
managed houses, all run by peo
ple you know, and they are the
neoDle vou sro to when you are
in trouble. There has always
been a large number of buyers
on this market, and there will be
more here the coming season
than ever before.
The Winstead Warehouse will
be run again by Messrs. Thax
ton & Burch. This is the young
est house in town, but it sprang
right in front almost on the
opening day and gave the leader
a lively tussle for first place, Few
men are better known to the to
bacco trade than Geo. Thaxton,
while his partner, Qus Burch, is
a Person county man, whom you
have known all your, life, and as
a business man he has few su
periors. They will have as their
auctioneer JWr. 11 E.' Day, iwho
has' been auctaoheeringpnlthe
market for the past two years.
He has shown bis ability and
will prove satisfactory to. the
farmers. You will t fin3 acom

knows the warehouse business
and knows just how to please the
farmer and send him home satis
fied. Mr. R. H. Oakley will do
the auctioneering again, and
that fact is all that is necessary
to say, for Bob is one of the ack
nowledged best. It is unneces
sary to tell any farmer in this or
adjoining Counties that when
they sell with the Hyco they will
be accorded every comfort for
they know tis from experience.
Mess, Carver & Mitchell will
run the Farmers Warehouse, and
while we have not heard who
their auctioneer will be .they'
will have a competent man. This
house will continue to be one of
the popular houses and will take
the best of care of their trade.
The proprietors are both experi
enced tobacco men with long ex- j

ness, and. all tobacco sold with
them will bring its full value.
Agan, resolye that you will
sell in Roxboro and help build
up your own County, for these
men are your friends and will
stand by you when strangers
have forgotten you.
