bacco merchant at this place, and that
his house was crowded and he would Sc
cure an additional one TO store his tobacco
in. Several farmers placed very erron>
eons inference on the remark and con-
cluded Mr.. Orr had run out of money and
house room, and could buy no more.
Such is no, the case, for he has money
enough to buy all the tobacco in the
county, and trust those who have not
sold will take my word tor it that they
will get their money. have written this
