AROUND PAMPLIN.
Good Prices Realized for Tobacco
The Rains.

PAMPLIN CITY, VA, March l9.-(Spe-
cial)-The tobacco crop, the great staple
OF this section, has been nearly all sold
and. it is safe TO say, has brought more
money than for many years past. The
complaint of hard times is mainly due to
the fact that on account Of low prices and
bad seasons for several years the farmers
had gotten behind, and besides, they are
investing every dollar they can spare in
grass and clover seeds. and in fertilizers
TO improve their land.
Mr., Samuel A. Wilkerson, who lives
,ear harrington Heights, realized 800
from the sale of his tobacco crop, made
mon a farm Of 100 acres, for which ne
oniv maid 5000 some ten or twelve years
ago This is a rather remarkable in
stance but several others might be men
toned in which owners OF farms have
realized more money from their tobacco
crops this year than their farms cost
them. -. .,..
The rainy weather interferes very much
with outdoor work searceiy any oats
have been seeded, and farm work OF all
kinds is behind.
