It is generally conceded that the Asheville Tobacco Market has a re cord for high prices unequaled by any other burley market. In 1934 1935 the Asheville Tobacco Market averaged $17.43 per hundred, which was by far the highest average in the Appalachian Burley District, accoiu ing to official reports. Last year the Asheville Market was averaging better than $23.00 per hundred. This was of course be fore the growers began to deliver to the Asheville Market an enormous qiranity of frozen tobacco, which was damaged by a sudden freeze that struck Western North Carolina during the latter part of September w the first of October and froze a great deal of the best tobacco throughout the mountain section. This same tobacco, which sold for LEE MASSEY Funeral services for Lee Massey, 15, of Barnard, who was fatally in inred in an automobile accident lnt Tuesday nieht on the Asheville Marshall hicrhway. were held at Walnut Methodis church, Friday afternoon, at 2 o'clock.

BUYING MORE GRADES In one particular instance, Liggett & Myers Tobacco Company's buyer on the Asheville Market this season will have instructions to buy all grades -of burley tobacco offered on the Asheville Market, that they use. Heretofore their buyer h'as been limited to one or two grades And while we know that the Ashe ville Tobacco Market has led all other burley markets, considering quality of tobacco, in high average price, with this one improvement, Asheville will nut have even a. close second in prjee average for the 1936" 87 season. This should mean thou sands of dollars to the. tobacco grow ers In' ""Western North Carolina; who sell their tobacco on the Ashe ville Market. : EXPERIENCED WAREHOUSE OPERATORS The warehouse operators on the Asheville Tobacco Market have been on the market since it opened as a market for burley tobacco. These men are known through-out the to bacco industry as "the toDs" in the warehouse business, and thev h'ave worked hard, giving their life-long experience' as well as their money, to establish for the tobacco growers in Western North Carolina one of the outstanding burley tobacco mar kets. This fact is so well known among tobacco growers that last season there were farge trucks of tobacco delivered bo the Asheville' Market from Virginia. Tennessee, as well as South Carolina. CITIZENS HAVE WORKED The tobacco growers in Western North Caw-Una, along with various terests. Troy Williams and Paul Carter will be the weigh men. The three warehouses, Carolina Warehouse, B. B. Saunders Ware house, and the New Banner Ware house, are now open, receiving and weighing tobacco in preparation for the opening on Wednesday, Dec. 9, of the Asheville Burley Tobacco Market. servance of Universal Bible Sunday They will remind the people of the nation uf the unrivalled place which this great book has had in the mak ing of our nation and the nations of the World.

The universal character of the appeal which the Bible makes, to my mind, bears eloquent witness to its Divine ori gin. Unique alike in its form and in its claims no other work has made, through countless centuries, such an appeal to the mind and heart nd soul and conscience of mankind as has the Sacred Word."
