Quoting from last wick's issue of
THK HNTHRPKISK: ' The average
per jtouiid for the toltacco at
Greenville last »c>k was a frac
tion over eleven cents. That for
WiHiamston for same was twelve
and a half cents." "Thereby
hangs a tale "
The comparison show s up well
for Wilhaniston. it being a new
market. Hut would it not lie well
to put somc.of the other neighbor-
in the comparisons.
The market at Ro!«er*»nvilli would
gladly com[>are averages with any
market in this section.
It is to tie hoped that the quota
tion "Thereby hangsa tale" is not
literally true. To put it very mild
ly, two constinotions could lie
placed on the quotation. The word
"Tale"' might I* literally con-,
strued.
[ln reference to aliove, we will
say that If the neighboring mark
ets would furnish their average,
we will publish gladly. Any news,
and anything that will help ad
vance the material interests of our
county will receive our careful at
tention. We want news from every
section. Our correspondent very
pleasantly plays on a word, quoted.
