FINE CHEWING TOBACCO.
We return our thanks to Messrs. E. P. Jones,
& Co.. of Rockingham County, for box of fine
chewing Tobacco of their manufacture.
This Tobacco was grown in Rockingham County,
and has been put up in the best manner. 1t is clear
of grit pleasant to the taste, and altogether just such
a preparation of the weed " as would tempt almost
any one to fall into the use of it.
We wish Messrs. Jones & Co. a ready sale for the
article at the best prices They certainly deserve
encouragement.
We understand that a lot of this Tobacco has been
deposited and is for sale at the Store of Messrs. w.
H. H. and R. S. Tucker, of this City. Try it.
