centre OF the county. tobacco mar
ket will be established. The contract
will be given for the building or a ware
house this week.
Register-of-Deeds Brinkly says that
the number OF crop liens thus far record
ed Is about Is per cent. greater than
at his time last year. though the
amounts are perhaps no larger. He
says the amounts OF the mortgages are
small In every case. ranging from $25
to $50. Many OF the mortgages thus far
recorded are for horses, a large number
having been sold In all parts Of the coun-
ty this year.
