The Year's Business Outlook
According to reports for January i
trade, the business pessimist lias lost 1
out again.
When the new year came in sight! ,
and turned the l'J27 page to full view,
many people said, "bad year"; "very
bad year''. It seem sfrom the January)
history of business conditions such i
saying;, are unfounded and ar« noth

fellows who always see nothing but i
trouble ahead. ! i

The Firemen's Exposition
The indoor circus or firemen's

The Rush to Prepare Tobaceo Crops
The question "What is the farmer
going to plant, this year?" is very
easily answered when you travel the
roads and see more January tobacco
plant beds sown than ever before. An
' other evidence of a big crop of to
bacco may be gathered from the re
ports, hundreds of them, from the
farmers themselves. They say they
are going to build additional tobacco
barns so they will be able to take !
care of their crop. New tobacco barns j
mean additional You hear!
farmers-say very often now that they |
are not going'to plant any-cotton this ;
year. Of course that means tobacco
will take its place. Again we secTsignwj
ot a big increase in the tobacco acre- j
age when farmers are cunning over
each other, almost, to get lumber
from the saw mills for their barns. I
All of this means a big crop and :
very likely a glutted market, perhaps
just as bad as cotton. We usually

therein and in charge thereof, upon!

complied with the requirements of j
Chapter 22, Consolidated Statutes, en
titled "Corporations," preliminary to j
the issuing of this Certificate of Dis-1
solution:
Now, Therefore, I, W. N. Everett,;
Secretary of State of the State of

that the said corporation did, on the.
20th day of January, 1927, file in ray ;

paid off and cancelled more of its

big acreage. We don't get time to give
the weed the proper attention. Then

because the price of common (tobacco

If the tobacco farmer floods'the
market in 11)27, we will probably re
member the fateful year of 1920. Too
much tobacco doer, not mean pros
perity. It must bring a good margin
above cost or we lose on it.
The farmer who plants com, pea
nuts an dpotatoes and raises plenty
of hogs, hens and cows may not have
as quick a chance to get rich as the'
tobacco farmer, yet he is on a sure
road to prosperity.
I the face of an indicated large in

are other factors to be remembered.

smallest yet known,, for there "are

THE LETTER-BOX
Interest in Reuben Bland being less
apparent in Martin County than any-j
wnere else, it seems only liitcing that |
the public at large should know what I
some of the home folks think of this'
outstanding case of satyriasis that is j
coming up lor honorable notice by big]
neswpaper editors, the President and
himself. Have we
the-floorThank you.
Before handing out- credit for this j
feat of frenzied reproduction might it J
not be well to inspect at leafjt super- |
ficially the reproduced? To date there'
has been no rumor that one of these
potential presidents has run for dog
catcher or even applied, while in jail, I
for the job of deputy sheriff. Only i
one of them has come to our person- j
he took cold from being held
under the town pump by the* local j
hoodlums a.s a last stern measure in at
crusade to'get him bathed.
liut granting that credit is due for
quantity production in the way of
families, to whom is it due? In our!
humble opinion to the luckless women>
wiio collaborated in this wholesale I
j propagation. It is certain that' they
, must huve been models of womanly
fortitude and endurance. Let us ask
them, however, —if they still live, —
for the county's sake, and also Pete's,
te go a bit easier in the future.
As for old Bull o' the Woods him
self, might it be permitted to ask
what.he was doing while these extra
ordinary women were wiping noses
and washing diaper;- ? Was he bust
ing off suspender-buttons, making the
| wherewithal for eats and education
! for his squalling crew or was he, be
tween trip,- to the still, pawing and
bellowing up and down his neck of the
Hfrw-grounds in search of further em
ployment for his peculiar talents?
Let us have done with Reuben
