OPENING THE TOBACCO WAREHOUSES.

Luther Eaton has opened his tobacco warehouse and now employees over 20 men sorting tobacco. The wages remain the same as last year. Nearly all the farmers have their tobacco down and in bundles waiting for the buyers to put in an appearance. But thus far they are shy and ready to talk tariff but not to strike any bargains. Good crops will probably bring good prices this year, but the buyers feel that the prices paid the last two years will not prevail.
