Tobacco Growers, fo My Friends and Customers: T wish to say, there will be a change in my tirm this year at my same old stand the big Farmers Warehouse at Mullins. l have formed copartnership with Mr. W. T. Burton, of Wilson, N. C., whom I have known fifteen years. Mr. Burton is recognized by the tobacco trade to be one of the finest auction eers in the business. My auctioneer being a partner in the business will naturally take more ihterest in selling each pile of tobacco. Thus placing us in position to serve your selling interest better than ever. Tae natural advantages are the ones that always count in the tobacco business. My motto has always been to do my best advertising on my warehouse floor. So as T may not be able to see you all at your homes, but mo staying a week with you would not add one cent to the sale of your tobacco. Too much drumming by any business shows a weak point. 1 wish to return many thanks for the liberal patronage extonded me for the past ten years and hoping to merit a continuance of same. Vrery truly, J. S. Neal. 2b, Mullins. S. C. Quarterly Conference at Salsm. The third Quarterly Conference of the Little River Circuit will be held next Saturday, June 22ud at Salem Methodist Church.
