CAIRO TOBACCO.
James Blanks, colored man, entered
n hogshead Of leaf tobacco grown by him
within the corporate limits of Cairo. In
spirit that is worthy of high commenda-
ton, the Ballard county planters in at
tendance made up purse of $40, and pre-
sented to Blanks as the cultivator of the
first and only hid. of tobacco ever raised
in Cairo.
We congratulate Messrs. Hurd & Son
on the result Of the fair. Their success
has surely been equal to their expectations,
and is at least u partial reward for their
unhagging labors and large outlay of
money.
