Our Scran ton correspondent i gives us the gratifying intelligence [ this week that a joint slock coin- , panv A as been formed to erect a i tobacco warehouse in his progres- j. .sive little town. A glance at the \ 1 i>t of corporators shows that the: i enterpri.-e is backed by men ol integrity and business, sagacity v. hose names arc synonymous with success. This is a move in the right direction, and we congrati: late not only the town ol Scran ton. but the whole country, for the piogressive spirit >hown by the>e; onldic-siiiriJed irenllemen. Year! niter'year thousands of wounds ol \\ iliiamsburg tobacco have been ; sold in other counties and States simply because there has been no I 2icme market. Should this project be successfully carried out! 1 litre will bo no longer an excuse ior shipping our tobacco out ol I I . the county, and much expense ol inaiketiiii; saved.
