Many years ago he went to Louis
burg, and quitting the type setting bus
mess, engaged in merchandising and
for many years was member of the
we'll known and successful mercantile
firm of Barrow e. Peasants, which firm
was among the most extensive mercan-
tile establishments in the central sec
ton of the State.
When the cultivation of bright to-
bacco struck Franklin county, and the
steady growth and success of the culti-
walton of the weed made it necessary
to establish at Louisburg a tobacco
market, Mr.. Peasants was one of the
first men to encourage the building of
warehouses and other facilities in the
town, and the establishment Of the
market.
Mr.. Peasants subsequently built
Peasants warehouse, a large, conven-
iently located well lighted building,
which gave Louisburg four prominent
warehouses, and thereby placed the
town in position to handle conveniently
the large amount of leaf tobacco that
every day comes hither to be sold.
Mr.. w. II. Peasants and his two
sons, Messrs. Malcolm and William i'll.
Peasants, Jr,, became the proprietors
of the new warehouse, and under their
excellent management it took a bound

The Messrs. Peasants are deservedly
popular men, and are favorably known

! ty, and to large number of farmers

ventures, Mr.. Peasants exercises that

man of the old school, and while he is
active and progressive in his business
ideas, he is fond of going over with his

His sons are practical, prudent and
popular young business men, and are
valuable aids in conducting the busi-
ness.

Louisburg's tobacco industry, and one
of those who deserve credit for the
success that has attended the estab
lish1nent of the Louisburg market.
Mr.. Thomas is a native of Halifax
county, Va, and one of the many
bright and successful young tobacco
men that Halifax county, in the Old
Dominion, has sent out into the to-
bacco trade. Mr.. Thomas first engaged
III the tobacco business in Danville. In
that great school of expert handlers
of the weed, he learned the practical
lessons necessary to the making of
first-cIass, alI-round tobacco man, and
he learned these lessons well, so well
that when he launched his own boat
on the busy waves of the tobacco sea,
under skillful management, it glided
successfully over the breakers and Is
now heaying ahead on placid waters.
Mr.. Thomas came from Danville to
Louisburg, and by his prudent busi-
ness methods, his thorough knowledge
of the tobacco business, every day ex-
hibited in the conduct of the business,
and by gentlemanly bearing and com
mendable industry, soon won the con-
Fu6DCC anu CD~DDGAdAAOH VI LAlD pC0Eh~
of all calIings, and established himself
and his business on safe and sure
foundations. He has shown his own
confidence in the future of Louisburg
by investments in it's property. He
bought the Star warehouse and con-
siderable property adjoining it; be-
coming the owner as we'll as the occu-
pant Of his warehouse and leaf prize
house, both Of which he utilities in con-
Quoting his extensive tobacco business.
Mr.. Thomas is a gritty and most sue
cessful warehouse manager, looks care
| fully after the interests of his farmer
patrons, personally conducts his ware
house sales, buys largely of leaf tor
| bacco, both on order and on his own
account, overlooks the rehandling, re-
ordering, packing and shipment Of the
vast quantities of leaf that make up
his daily purchases and looks carefully
after every department Of his steadily
growing business.
/ Mr.. Thomas is solid, substantial
! business man, and a valuable man in
/ his town and community. He is a
stakeholder and director of the Mer-
chants and Farmers Bank, and in
many other ways in Louisburg's indus
trial and social life.
