' n| Tobacco continues to come into the. cpen market freely and the prices era holding firm. The beef'sales last week were made .on Tuesday when the entire sale averaged $89.15, though the entire sales for the Veek were only a few ilollars under this good sale, averaging ttJc week $86.50. Forty dollars is a mighty good price for tobacco, and the farmers are happy over such prices, but many good loads can bo singled out where The farmer has averaged well above three figures. It looks now as if this will be' another banner^ year for the Rcxbcro market, _bottJ ip orice '^md "pounds, for the high prices, received cn '.his market is attracting tobacco hero fr&nj a large scope' of country, both from North" Carolina and Virginia. Po3tibly,the fact that this New Hy,co .is just about the last word in warehouse accommodation. may ac-' count in a measure for some of the tobacco coming to this market, for there is not a better built, more comfortable or more conveniently arranged house anywhere, and the manager, Mr. W. T. Pass, enjoys an enviable reputation as a tobacco man. ???o~. *SCHOOL NOTES'. " _ THi Teachers' Assembly meets in Raleigh, on November 29th and 30th and December 1st.

The Association members avc not been rushing their tobacco it the market but .from now on you 'ill probably see ti'e Co-op houses all to overflowing. It is impossible ar tis to tell what prides are beinlg aid at the Assoc into n houses, for lay w'ill not know what they have veraged until* the*-aeascn has closed nd the tobacco sold. However, there . i. one thing.ve;y positive, and tHat i. .the members are highly pleased ith the workings of the-Association. Though forts of the Associaon much tobacco will be handled n this market which otherwise btilS Trcve gone elsewhere. A PROGRESSIVE. SECTION. We thought we were >familiar-with Imost eveTy foot" of this good Coun7, but a few days ago we drove out jto the country, passed by the proressfve; Bushy Fork High School nd on towards tHe Old Hester Store action. If you have not been through Hat immediate section very recently ou will hardly recognize it. On evry hand you will find handsome new omei, and others on the way, well ept* lawns, witK an abundance of -' * lowers, and more cattle we believe > tHe farm than any section of the -ounty-w That section has long been' nown for its fine tobacco, but toacco is n6t the only thing they *!?'. . ? aising. Just drive out that way, the oads arc excellent and the people re among the fn est on earth: richlaSds farms. A few days since we drove oat to he Richland Farms to see a potato touse which ? the proprietor, Mr. W. I. Blalock, had completed. The . House s built after the most modern fash)n and, best"of all, it was pretty well jlled with potatoes which he was uring. This is the proper mode for; aving sweet potatoes and this wine wHin they are bringing fancy iriices Mr. Blalock will' have some of he very best with which to supply he market, rie harvesied 170 bush- ??^ Is, and we.doubt if he had an acre Vf land wWicH will pay him better. AN ENORMOUS YIELD. The office was honored by a visit rom Mrs.. Ethel Oakley of Tifnberake a few days since,'and she was elling us of a very unusual yield of .1 eas.
