The very important meeting called met
at the Tobacco Exchange Yesterday at
II o'clock. 1t was flattcring assembly
that Mr.. Ashton Starke addressed on the
subject OF our coming exposition. The
tobacco people turned out in force, and
there were many other prominent citizens
present, who became enthusiastic as the
speech progressed and it is needless to
say that there were none who did not
favor the fair, and that the tobacco trade
should take leading interest in II. To
the latter end the president, Dir. Watkins,
appointed the following committee for
subscription General Peyton Wise, T.
G. Williams, Milton Cayce, James n.
Boyd, L. Raab, s. A. Elletson, Miles
Cary. Major Lewis Ginter, f. ID. Chris
tian, =. T. Conrad, John Hutchinson, W.
H. Jones, Fred. Myers, l.. Dickinson.
The latter will meet Monday At f2 O'clock
on Change Another committee will be
appointed to take charge of the special
tobacco feature of the Exposition.
The Trade is in earnest; MIR. Starke's
speech had a happy effect, and few
good examples in subscriptions for a
good round sum will cause the list soon
10 swell to al that is needed for the EX-
position. General Joseph II Anderson
made a brief speech Of encouragement
and endorsation Of Mr. StaTkes speech
With all this interruption Of regular pro.
ceedings on Change and notwiihsiand-
it was Saturday quite good business in
leaf tobacco was done. Fifty hogsheads
or more Of old smokers and filters were
I'd around at eight cents and over, be-
sides some wrappers, new and old, which
was altogether good weeks ending.
