Tobacco
Sunshine and rain combined with
man's muscle and brain have nro
duced another splendid crop for
Ma:tin County. All crops are
"looking up" and in the history of
mnn, there has never been such a
wonderful growth of that staple
product, corn. Cottc-n is in fine
condition, peanuts and grain, too.
Tobacco, that product fdr man's
solace when the brain and heart
are weary, grows to its best in this
soil. For several yeais the rains
discouraged the farmers fitted to
cultivate the weed, and *o the
acreage grew gradually smaller.
This year the number of pounds
hus been largely iccreas:d, and in
this immediate section there are
acres and acres of as fine tobacco
ascan be found anywhere. With
proper curing, it will bring goud
money to the pocKets of the pro
ducers. This attention and the
hext market upon whic'i to offer it,
will bring safe returns.
For ye.u:i Williamston has han
dled lar.,e quau; itita or the weed
and maintained thoughout cadi
season tht standard of best price.-1
and fair dealing. Men of'exper-i

"will please while you wait." Mr. 1 1
Beasley comes heie with 35 years
of experierce in the raising and ,

All tbe bin companies will have
buyers ou th? market, as well as
the independent purchasers. This
will insure the top-motch prices,
which has always beeu the pride of
the Williamston warehousemen.
Farmers should not go from home
to ssli their crops—give the home
town a fair show for here it Is
where all must live and work to
gether. Bring your tobacco here
on the 15th. of August to a good
market and a good town with splen
