TOBACCO FACTORY.

Our enterprising citizen, Jno. B. Evans,
Esq, has established a Tobacco Factory on
Main Street in Staunton, where he is now work
ing Is hands and putting up in good style about
1900 lbs of good tobacco per week. He has
hydraulic press and all the other improved ma
chinery for the pressing of tobacco. This is
new enterprise in this part of the State. We
hope that the enterprising spirit of Jno. b.
Evans, Esq, will be amply rewarded. Whilst
we would not advise any person to chew tobac-
60, for we consider it very filthy habit In
which no gentleman should indulge, } we would
advise those who do to chew that which is
manufactured here, for we know that Evans
