pounds during the severe cold weather.

kept two weeks longer he would have
eighed 500 or more. Eighty pounds

Copying what the GOLD LEAF said
about the storage warehouse, with ref
CT ence to the election of officers for the
ensuing year, the Winston Tobacco
Journal makes the following comment:
With the storage warehouse in the
hands Of such trusted officers success
cen be counted on every time. Hen
derson should feel proud of being the
only market in the State which has
managed successfully a storage ware
house business.
If there is one class of persons who
ought to be more interested in tacto-
rics than another, it is the merchants.
What difference it would make in
tn eir trade if few thousands of dol
lars could be turned loose every week
among factory employees! The mer-
chants of Henderson should interest
themselves in starting factories of such
kind and character as give promise Of
su cess and usefulness in the commu-
My for the benefits to be derived by
them from these enterprises.
The farmers are more interested in
good roads than any other class, as
they are the greatest losers by bad ones.
