Tobacco Farmers to be Given q
Dinner by the Board of Trade
Next Tuesday.

No people are more proverbial for
their hospitality than the citizens OF
Henderson. Whoever comes within
her gates receives cordial welcome,
and to none is this more freely and
fully given than the bright tobacco
planters of Virginia and North Caro-
lima. So it was with pleasure that we
learned that Henderson had been
chosen as the place for holding the con-
vention Of tobacco farmers of the
Bright Belt spoken of elsewhere
in these columns. To show their APP
probation of the honor thus paid our
town and to further emphasize the fra
ternal relations existing between the
planters and warehousemen and leaf
dealers of this market. the Henderson
Tobacco Board of Trade at once took
steps to entertain the delegates next
week, and will tender them COM
plimentary dinner, Tuesday. On that
day there will be no sales and every
courtesy will be shown the visitors
during their stay amongst us. The
hour will be fixed to give any parties
who may arrive OH the afternoon
trains time to get here for dinner.
When we say this will be served under
the auspices Of the Ladies' Guild
we need not make any promises as to
what sort of an affair it will be. To
one and all the GOLD LEAF on behalf
of the Tobacco Trade of Henderson
extends in advance a cordial welcome
to the planters of the Bright Tobacco
