They had been hearjj&of the good prices which the weed was bringing n Eastern Carolina, but still they Were afraid that something might happen to n$ke such prices here unobtainable. But to all, such fears were quickly dismissed for the very first pile sold bro.ught satisfactory pricesT and so on through the day, for there were sales at all the warehouses. While all the houses had 15 bgre wasno heavy sales at any of them, but a larger quantity than usual on the first days sales- here. The quantity was f atff or first offering, but no fancy grades were of fered, still the price soared away up, the entire average for the days sales at all of the houses was $19.33, From this fact it would seem that the Roxboro tobacco market is still doomed to be the highest average market in the State, an honor she has maintained for the past several years. There was nothing exciting about the sales, every pound was sold on its merit, and there seemed a determination by all of the buyers to hve tobacco. In fact hey seemed anxious for it. It was indeed good to see such fine feeling existing between the farmer, the buyer and the warehousemen, alljdetermined that there should be no cry raised that the buyers did not want the tobacco, or the farmers claiming that prices were higher elsewhere. With such feeling the market is sure to seil the largest pbrtlcn of this crop within reach of the market. v SCHOOL OPEif : The schools of Roxboro will open Monday morning, Sept. 18th, at nine o'clock.
