TWO Oniy, as stateu ny INC ulSliycH-
Gus Mr.. II. Herndon. OF these three
samples not one is ali, cured, far less
is either liqht. All three are heavy,
dark Clarksvilc Tobaccos. No. l
Mr.. I. Herndon does not refer to at
all, because it evidently did not suit
the purpose of himself and Mr.. Fuqua
to do so, but it Is the one cured by
Mr.. Fuqua rapidly by tho Trent pro-
cess in tweniy-four hours, and show
process in his hands to be a perfect
failure, the leaf being green with the
stem lift white. eaf .. B
No. 2 which Mr.. Herndon styles
heavy fire cured Clarksyille type,
was also cured by the patent process
BY Mr.. Fuqua, after It had hung in
the barn few days. While it is an
Improvement on No. l, still il was
not a success or anything like equal
No. 8 which was cured by tho old
fashioned .fre9 curing process-and
we'll cured at tbat-being a rich. dark,
Clarksville Tobacco, but which it
will be seen Mr.. L. Hcrndon either
in his igorance or duplicity calls
(No. 81 tight air curedo-and Gun
ninglv tries 10 convey the impress
ion that being, as he styles it, flight
air cured," that that was what
Mr.. Vaughan, Mcssrs. Meguiar.
Helm & Co., and many buyers mi-
versally decided as the best of three
samples.
Mr.. T. Icrndon evidently conclud-
ed he was almighty smart when he
thought he could fool any one by
such trickery, and try TO pass off a
heavy fired cured, dark Clarksvile
for aired cured, light bodied Tobacco.
But truth always turns up trumps,
and so We repeat that there was
no "light air cured sample sub
mitted, that No. (which Mr.. Hern-
don did not notice at ally was an en-
tire failure in curing; that No. 2.
was little better, and that No 3 Mr..
Herndon styled slight air cured,r
while IL is dark, rich Clarksville To.
baccO, well cured bv the old fashioned
fire process, We have been particu-
lar in this matter SO as 10 expose the
trickery connected with it.
Was there ever a clearer attempt at
deception, and trying to tlistorl the
truth. TO bolster ur, n case? f5'ef'i E

AGAIN AT SEA.
Mr.. Herndon is equally unfortu.
nate in his again using his agent, Mr.
B. +. Fuqua, as to what Mr.. ThoInp-
son, of the Pickett House, Louisville,
said. We have every reason to be-
licye Mr.. Thompson when he tells
us that he made no such admission
as indorsing tho correctness OF Mr.
Herndon's "yery modest circular" as
to Clarksville Tobacco being out Of
fashion in Louisville; neither did he
see Mr.. Fuqua on April 4, as stated
by Mr.. Herndon, as Mr.. Thompson
was in another part Of the country
then. Mr.. Thompson, IN q covcrsa'
lion at another time stated that there
would be a better demand for Clarks-
vile Tobacco in summer than there
was in March. So that such evidence
as Mr.. Herndon brings forward in
Mr.. Thompson's namc is ruled out
because 1t is false. i. 5,.,l
The mere circumstances of fresh
orders being received in any market
is often sufficient, as every one
