Tobacco Notes.
We hear discouraging reports from
many sources as to the condition
of tobacco and the way it is curing
Mr.. Frank Worthan, who is one of the
| best and most successful planters in this
section, declares his crop is the meanes
he ever had. Up to two weeks age
he was very well pleased with it. One
man proposed to take $500 for a fourth
interest in a barn just cured and after
| telling what sort of tobacco it was
could not find taker among a party
of halfa dozen buyers. Another thing
Tobacco is much lighter this year, we
are told. A given number of plants
and sticks making an average barn O
500 pounds heretofore will not weigh
more than 800 pounds. 1t is dis
eased, bug eaten and chaffy, and be
sides is not curing with the desired
color. We get this from various source:
and disinterested parties.
A rabbit in briar patch is not in il
compared with the large and elegan
stock of clothing in S. & c. Watkins's
store. They show the biggest and bes
line of goods this season that any firm
ever had the pluck to put in here. CT
and see them. sep3
The only radical cure for rheumatism j
to eliminate from the blood the acid tina
causes the disease. This is thoroughly
SarsapariIla. Persist until cured. The
process may be slow, but the result
sure.
