craving of the solid train load of tobacco
recently sent out by the Bamberger firm

one twentieth, of the 10000 cases of what
the Bamberger firm have shipped the

weeks. The order called for nearly 500
car loads. There is some tobacco bust
ness being done from Edgerton, all right

Mr.. G. L. Culton of Edgerton, who is
extensively engaged in handling tobacco,
having large number of warehouses in
that town, GAINESVILLE, Milton and other
places, has been in the city looking over
the situation at the Esterly grounds
with the idea of establishing a ware
house in this place. The locality is con-
sidered favorable one for growing to-
bacco of good quality, and understand
ing the railroad would supply sidetracks
to facilitate shipping; but the old Ester
ly shipping building needs extensive
repairs to put it in shape to do
the business contemplated. Mr.. Culton
wishes to rent the building for five years,
which would insure permanency, if the
business prospers. It is expected the
business may be depended upon to give
employment to quite large number of
perhaps Is or 100-during the
operating season. Mr.. Kestol, in ad-
dition to the heavy expense of making
the necessary repairs, will be obliged to
accept nominal rent for the present at
least, and the matter is entitled to favor
able consideration by our business men,
and all who take an interest in building
up diversified industries in our city,
