ROXBORO MARKET y
#aod Sales This Weak, Average
$27.10 Monday.
As they used to., say where
- ? we grew up. the farmers are
vey much "holped" up this
week, fo tobacco is climbing and
has cached the point where a
farmer can see a little profit in
raising it. Monday's sales
were the best of the season, the
entire sale of about seventy
live thousand pounds averaged
$27.10If
our farmers would only
believe us, there is absolutely
ro reason for going to the
trouble and expense of hauling
their tobacco, to somne distant
& market for the same tobacco
will bring just as much if not
Mk, a little more, when sold in
Hp1' Iloxborb.
Cwne^ one, come all, both large
aim miiau
Come old and young, and meet
them all,
Fop Ghosts will walk, You'll
hear noises queer.
But come in disguise, and never
fear.
