showing that the sales III Hopkins
vile ON the entire years business were
only 4,l6l hhds. less than in Clarks-
VILE. we leave II for our readers TO
Judge asto Mr. Herndon's assurance
and what reliance can be placed on
his statement that "tbe b,llk OF the
crop eiiher u beng or tcsn Oe con-
centrated at Clarksvlile, when mar
kct Ike Hopkinsville, only rev
years old, has made such strides
against Clarksville, the oldest market
IN the west, III Hopkinsyille goes
on at the same rate, perhaps Mr..
Herndon viii wake up some morning
and find That the little side show
business has located in ClarksVille, If
anywhere.
IL surprises us that ne does not
claim that''thc bulk OF the crop mas
been concentrated IN Ciarksville (in
years gone by), which no could truly
do, but he is too modest TO do that,
He Is only prophetic when he says IT
"icM 6e'-possibly he means I'm the
sweet by and BY" when less foul gas
is let on IN It's behalf.
II Is salmost, Needless tor us 10 re-
mind our readers OF tho iaiiacy, that
Oecause jClarksviile tobaccos are
raised IN that district, that MereTore
u is The best market for the sale OF
them, when every one Knows thal
distant markets are often me oest
SO we repeat that particular Types oil
tobacco, wherever grown, viii iind
their sale wherever ii pays best TO
sell them, whether %, 100, 1000 miles
distant; but it will never be simply
by the gasconade of Mr.. L. Herndon
or Ills agents blowing his horn this
aptantefs in Kentucky and I'ennes-
see sciH fare much better IN Clarks-
rille than am other market"
If they fare so very well, how is it,
we repeat, that they are leaving that
market aud shipping to the extent
they have been doing 10 Hopkinsville,
In addition TO what they are sending
