The Henderson Tobacco Market,

Henderson, y. c., has always been
a boosted and strong supporter of
Richmond as a market. and we owe
much OF our commissions and sales
and warehouse charges to few lead
ing firms in Henderson, and we owe
more to excellent stock from that
quarter. The tobacco around Hen
dersOn has been a bonanza for several
rich men in several lines. These had
a strong control over the trade of
planters for years before the trade
outside could get in any competition.
II was for years certain profit to buy
and ship from there to Richmond. The
tobacco had merit and always sold we'll,
and it was always we'll bought and
also we'll handled there Now there
are many competing markets, but
Henderson warehOusemen have made
money enough out of one set in duo
season to control another set Of sellers
and shippers as we'll. and is apt to be
able now to keep the trade moving
lively along. The three C's-capital,
confidence and Cooperate supposed
to carry IIcnderson.-Ric South
err Tobacconist.
| The GOLD LEAF has maintained
all along that Henderson by virtue of
its position and prestige could take
care Of itself however much COM
| petition it might have as a tobacco
market. What our friend says with
regard to the merit of tobacco grown
and sold here is true, and while the
three C's are all right the alpha bet of
warehOusemen extends little further.
There are the three H's-happy, hus-
Ting, Harris. and the three D's-dili-
| gent, diplomatic Davis-all of whom help
to make Henderson the Invest and
best loose market in North Carolina
or Virginia

Cooper's warehouse was full and
running over with tobacco Tuesday.
and sales have been heavy every day
since. With the coming of favorable
weather the weed has been piling in.
Tuesday Cooper's floor was taxed to
its utmost capacity. There were 1,O11
lots of tobacco and % loads had to be
put in the basement for want of room.
Not pile was taken in nor a word of
complaint heard. Many farmers had
tobacco here who had been selling
in other markets. They had gone
further and Jared worse. but will not
do so again.

relations-one Of whom 1.-The craft
have cause to be proud; Col. A.
B. Gorrell, Mr.. w. B. Carter and Mr..
James T. Norheet. able men of fine
business qualifications, energetic and
progressive. After meeting these gen.

Reported by the Secretary.

A GREAT SPEECH.
The largest meeting i'll several
months was the one Sunday afternoon,
and the address by Major r. B. Glenn,
of Winston, was one of the best ever
made in the rooms. It was not known
until nearly noon that Major Glenn
would speak, and considering the short
notice and the very bad weather the
attendance was surprising. Major
Glenn spoke of some of the dangers
that beset young men and the duty of
older men in helping them to overcome
them. He spoke earnestly and elo-
quently and completely captured his
hearers. Some of them said it was
the best they had ever heard.
The change of the hour from $3.50 to
2:3O seems to be generally approved.
Next Sunday Rev. Mr.. Ogburn will
speak on 1.-The stars are left
