Last Thursday we happened TO drop into
the warehouse and we found number Of
farmers from Salem and elsewhere with a
considerable quantity Of tobacco. The yel-
low leaf was stacked IN piles and several
rows, and at noon Manager Wilkins sailed
in and auctioneered. Mr.. Wilkins has

roartic as that of Colonel Webb, but it is
sufficiently rssical to distinguish it from
the fling of a saw Sec the squeeking Of an
old wooden axle wagon wheel, the voice is
his and it is ali right Mr.. Wilkins took
the floor and following him was buyer
from Danvilie, another from Smithville,
and several others watching an opportunity
eolieht down on bargain ,butthat class did
not do much, they were kept busy phewing
at the prices ground out under the in

&ioEs, .tand alf, /, alf, yate, steen, steen,
etc. The prices were gooG ano everybody
seemed pleased. Cards were tucked in two
instances, but later the parties tuckins the
cards sold at the prices brought at the sale.
MIR. A. B. Windham told rs that he received
about ten dollars more for his tobacco than
he expected, and Mr. Samuel Reardon was
another who made a better average than he
expected. We do not know who it is, but
somebody has tried to create the impres.
sion that this warehouse has suspended
operation; the falsity of such a rumor can
be seen by coming here and see the vim
and push Manager wilkins is putting into
the business. He says that he does not ex-
pect to make any money this year. but that
the warehouse is an established institution
and it will succeed despite the croakers
who would kick if offered the earth and the
fuliness thereof.
