A FINE CROP OF TOBACCO.


 A FINE CROP OF TOBACCO.
 The finest crop of tobacco delivered in New Milford thus far this season from here was taken to Carl Schoverling by Sherman Cogswell, Jr., Monday of this week He had about 5000 pounds and he was allowed 26c per pound. After MT Cogswell's tobacco was ready for market, some one on mischief bent, wrote to MT Schoverling to swatch Cogs- wells tobacco close when he brings it, for part of it is pole burned and rotten." It being one of those beautiful anony- nous letters Mir Schoverling took the liberty to show it to Cogswell after his crop had been delivered and accepted and also to Dea George s. Humphrey, who is also interested in part of the crop. They feel confident that they know who | their friend is, but do not wish for him the same treatment that was intended | for them. As MT SchOverling has for several seasons had Cogswell's tobacco, he scarcely gave the matter thought, and when the tobacco was delivered, it was readily seen by him that it was in the same excellent condition which his crops have been in former years. We are glad no further damage was done, no thanks, however, to him who wrote such a letter and dare not put his sigma ture at the end of it.
