Mr.Venable Carpenter, living near
Vaughan's store, in this County,
Stripped seven PLANTS of tobocco last
week that weighed, when stripped,
four and half pounds.
| There has been considerable stir
in the market this week, caused by
the sale of some better tobacco, and
showing some encouraging prices.
There is not TO be found anywhere
in this country better organized
corps OF Warehouse-men than we.
have, and we are glad to sec that the
board of buyers is large and that they
appear TO want more tobacco TO fill
their orders than they have been able
to get from the small offerings thus
far. Now that we have had season
and the roads are improving we may
look out for business TO move In this
department.. When ever you are in
duced by some slirewd agent or prin-
cipal of another market to take your
tobacco to another than your own
market, you not only get whipped
Yourself, but injure your own mar
ket 10 the extent OF whatever number
of hogsheads you ship off. The buy
er's charge has been reduced from ~.
to $t., and while our freights are hot
low, still they are more in harmony
with those of competing markets
than ever before. Having no large
Exchange to pay for out of the sale OF
every hid, but neat comfortable
one where the seller and buyer may
freely minglc aud affect their bar
gains, we confidently expect 10 mot
only hold our trade, but gather
strength this season. The Kentuck-
ian is pledged 10 do everything IN
its power for the good ofthe trade,

Farmers brought in large quantities
of the "weed" last week. We saw
number of wagons loaded with tobac-
co In town Saturday. Our buyers
were SO rushed that they worked un-
til late Saturday night, and then did
not unload all the wagons.-Aadi-

The tobocco now coming to mark ct
is generally in good dry order, but
large proportion OF il shows more or

well maintained, especially for trash,
