We sincerely hope that the pro-
iect so auspiciously begun by THE
HERALD, of connecting Torrent
with the Morgan county coal fields
by railroad running through
Wolfe county, will find II speedy
realization. Aside from the adj
vantages it offers of bringing the
people of Wolfe and Powell into
closer touch and sympathy, proba-
bly, its greatest practical value to
this locality would be the oppor-
tunity of getting II good grade OF
coal. Both Stanton and Clay City
are essentially coal burning towns.
and the consumption would be
largely increased if we could obtain
good coal at reasonable rates.
The Stanton tobacco company,
II recent organization, composed
of gentlemen of this place and vi
cinity, intends TO promote the gem
cral cultivation of tobacco in this
county. Its promoters are conf
dent that our soil is peculiarly
adapted to its culture; and to
show their faith by their works,
they propose to furnish free seed
tn all resident farmers agreeing to
give it n trial, also competent
instructor at all stages of the crop,
which, when made, they will pur-
chase at the best market price for
same according to grade, or they
will guarantee beforehand a stated
price per pound for the entire crop.
Surely nothing could be fairor than
this, and the company deserves
success for it's efforts toward fur
nishing our people new industry.
J. ID. Atkinson, of Stanton, will
furnish information.
