The Cairo Tobr Geo Market.

From the Paducah Herald.
The advertisement Of the Planters To-
bacco Warehouse, at Cairo, appears in
the columns of the Herald We refer
our readers to It, II Cairo can succeed
In building up q tobacco market, no one
has a right to object. We certaiuly shall
not. We have expressed our opinion
that 1t cannot, but the Cairo Bulletin
says IL can. Well, time will determine
1t, and we are willing TO submit to that
test There are first rate mem In Cairo,
and they are active, enterprising and
wide awake. With their exertions, and
Nose Harrell and Oberly to blow for
them, there is no telling what hey may
do. And they have been sharp enough To
secure the services OF Maj. Billy Nc
Clure, OF Clarksville, who Is one Of the
best tobacco men In the West, to super
intend their Warehouse. Iianybody
can make the thing go he can. We leave
the matter to the tobacco pub :, with
the understanding that Moe Harrell
must tell the truth about the Paducah
market.
We commend the good sense that sug-
gested the insertion of the Planters t..
baeco Warehouse Co.'s card ia the Her
add, because IL circulates largely in the
very district Of country upon sbich the
Caro- tobacco market chiefly depends.
We accept the truce proffered in the
closing paragraph. Wen do anything
to stop the mouth Of the HERALD man
whose lies about the Cairo market have
poured down upon US five tines more
copiously than do the "warrsat Lodore ,
We can "hold our own" withmost folks,

add does about our tobacco market, that
thing cannot be which already j., why,

Thinking that the motions OF the people OF
this county, in regard 10 the Cairo ~ ST..
Louis railroad might interest some Of your
readers, send you the latest action in re-
gard 10 said road. Our citizens, on receiving
the news Of the meeting of the directors in
ST. Louis, and their resolutions, ordered cleo
lions TO be held In the various towns and
townships along the route. On the 9th Of
June an election was held in Waterloo, "for
or against subscribing $4,000 10 the Cairo *
St Louis railroad, which was unanimously
carried "for subscription
The people of Columbia, on the 10th Of
June, held an election "for or against sub
scribing $25, 900 20 the Cairo a st. Louis rail-
road, which resulted in vote Of log 'for
subscription" and 10 against subscription"
This week votes will be taken in 80 for SIS
900, 30 for $4,000, and 3-l0 for $4,000,
which are sure 10 carry. Therefore, we can
not see any reason why the Cairo x ST. Louis
railroad should not be located through our
county.

TO AGRICULTUIRSTS

An extensive experience of twenty years as
importers and dealers in GUANo and Fertili-
zers of various description, and by direct in
tercourse with farmers and planters, as
GRAIN MERCHANTS, has enabled us to learn
their experience and results from all sorts Of
natural and artificial MANUREs and to form a
practical knowledge of their wants in fer
tilizer adapted generally to the various soils
and crops of the Southern States, and at a
price commensurate with present values and
p;o yer regard to economy in outlay.
We have been induced to establish man.
ufactory in this city upon an extensive scale,
with the appliance of steam and with every
recent improvement in machinery for grind
ing, mixing and thoroughly combining the
various chemical constituents, now well as
certained as forming the elements of a first
class fertilizer, and absolutely required to
build up the truly vegetable part of the plant,
and restore to the soil the elements of direct
''PLANT FOOD" which previous crops may
have drawn from it, and which can be relied
upon for uniformity, containing the valuble
properties claimed for it, and at a less price
than any other similar manure offered in this
market.
