Tohacco warehouse areas in Lum berton took on a festival-like air as official averages jumped to $26.06 a hundred pounds with 202,000 pounds sold. The jubilation was heightened by the fact that improvements in prices for the poorer grades, rather than increased offerings for better grades, appeared responsible throughout the belt for increased acerages. Dillon sold 50,000 pounds yester day for an official average of $12.90. At Lake City estimates placed sales at approximately half a million pounds for an average of $24 a hun dred, and at Darlington 50,000 was sold for $21.62 a hundred. The Walstonburg M. E.

These people felt that another church was needed in the community to help extend the Kingdom of God among themselves and othera They realized that spir itual growth is as important; if not more so, as other forms of growth.
