It looks now as if the State is to break all records for tobacco production. The quality has been ana is gooa ana the price has kept up well." said Commissioner Watson yesterday, announcing the report for the tobacco sales during August.

"These leaves make friends and celebrate with gentle rites the vows of peace. They have given consolation to the world. They are the companions of the lonely, the friends of the imprisoned, of the exile,of workers in mines, of fellers of forests, of sailors on the deep seas. They are givers of strength and calm to the vexed and wearied minds of those ...I .mfk tUnnrrKf ond hr#in J WIIU UU11U ? I m uivuf,uv MMV. the temples of the soul. They tell of hope and rest. They smooth the wrinkled brows of care; drive fear and strange misshapen dreads from out of the mind and fill the heart with rest and peace. Within their magic warp and woof some potent, gracious spell imprisoned lies, that, when released by fire, doth softly steal within the fortress of the brain and bind in sleep the captured sentinels of care and grief. These leaves are the friends of the fireside, and their smokelike incense rises from myraids of happy homes. Cuba is the smile of the sea." A Card of Thanks. To Tobacco Planters: We take this method of thanking you for the liberal patronage that you have given us this season. It was rumored at one time that we j were not good warehousemen be; cause we did not buy tobacco (which is quite true; we do not buy tobacco). We are not buyers but are here to sell your tobacco to the regular buyers (not pin-hookers), You know whether we have succeeded or not. We believe we have,as we have sold over one and a quarter million pounds of tobacco from farmers directly, which is about 50% of what our market sold from first hand. We are not stating this boastingly, but just to show that some of the tobacco planters, at least, believe that we do know a little something about the warehouse business We lioita amnlnvoH nn Hrnmmprs nor guaranteed any tobacco in the country during the season,but have stayed at our warehouse and tried every day to get the market price for every pound of tobacco you have entrusted to us. If nothing happens we will be found at Nelson's warehouse again next year. We will again have this winter plenty of tobacco seed that you can get for the asking any time from December 15 on; also any information you may desire about tobacco prospects, planting, etc, that we can furnish. Don't fail to call on us. We will he especially glad to help any one who has never planted tobacco before and wishes to do so next ypar. Our tobacco market for this year will close Thursday, September 18,but if you are not able to tret all in by that time, bring what you have to us any time later and we will get you all we can for it. Again thanking you for your patronage this season and hoping you will make a good crop next year, we beg to remain Your friends, Epps & McIntosh. 5 OF THE STO <cri*c] _ cco /*?/<?/ X. nacrl i / ? / $ /??/\ ef s/$ /y/<?/Jy-s. % r m LCQ MARKET N|N ThFSST/A | A CARD I ?
