To meet the increasing demands of
our job printing patronage, we have
purchased "Model" job press, of the
Alden make. 1t is designed cspe-
cially for doing neat and tasty job
work, such as cards, envelopes, letter
heads, etc. We have now two
printing presses and three job press
es, and are fully equipped for the
dispatch of work in the various de-
partments of our business. Our
printers have had years of expert
ence, and with new type and presses
we turn out work second TO no office
in the State, and at prices as reason
able as city offices.
The Tobacco Leaf has this
to say in regard to oanvasing
beds: "The fly has played havoc with
many of the uncanvased beds in
some parts of this county, as well as
in other sections of the ClarksvillC
District. We have time and again
urged our farmers to canyas the beds
and hundreds of them who have
never used canvas before did it
and have an abundance of plants
Those who failed to canvas and have
lost their plants, have only them
selves to blame"
