GOOD SALES Sales of tobacco have been
very good this week, with satisfactory
prices for the better grades. We heard
yesterday that they got great deal more
for tobacco sold here than they did for the
same grades sold in other markets, and a
number expressed themselves as having
realized more money than they had ex-
pected. One man told us that lie got So
more for load of tobacco than he would
have been satisfied with, while another one
would have been willing to sell for. So
much for selling your tobacco in Hender-
son and at Cooper's warehouse.
New SToRE-Britt Brothers have open
ed store in Henderson and are candi-
dates for a share OF the trade of this
market. They occupy the corner store in
the Cheatham building, opposite Cooper s
warehouse, where they have Just opened a
full line of general merchandise of every
description. They will make a speciality
of groceries, provisions, dry goods, cloth
ing, boots, shoes, &c, and propose to sell
as reasonable as is consistent with a ju-
dicious and safe plan of business. The
senior member Of the firm is Mr.. Willie A
Britt, who has been with Parker & Gloss
SO long. Mr. Britt is we'll and favorab]y
known to the trade as an Industrious
obliging and capable business man, and
will no doubt soon establish himself even
more firmly in the confidence and esteem
OF the community.
