Geo. Decker leaf dealer of GAINESVILLE,

Mr.. Albert Helmericks, of st. Louis,

berg left for New York Friday night

| tobacco, grown on the Madison farm, to

Mr.. Max Bamberger, the veteran mem
Der of the firm of L. Bamberger & Co., of
| Philadelphia, has been in the market
| few days during the week and meets
with cordial greeting among the local
| trade.
j. l.. & M. F. Greene started handling
the new crop Monday in their new ware
house just about completed at James
vile. The new building is one of the
most complete in all it's appointments of
any in the state.
The attention of tobacco growers is
called to the seed advertisement of W.
T. Pomeroy & Co., successors to Pomeroy
& Pelton, which appears in another col
umn. Their famous Comstock Spanish
Seed, grown under the personal super
vision of the firm has wider sale and
better reputation for high grade crop
| producing than any seed ever placed
upon the market. If you are intending
to change seed this year it will be per-
fectly safe to use this variety.
The Censor has the following regard
ing the tobacco markets of Vernon
county:
There has been large quantities of to-
bacco delivered in Viroqua the past
week coming from all directions and in
many instances from great distances In
all the receiving points of the county
the same conditions prevail. The new
Readstown house opened week ago
| and is doing a rushing business. 1t is
claimed to be the largest and best ware
house in the county. There is still a
great amount of tobacco to be taken
from the poles, and weather suitable for
taking down is anxiously awaited. The
present outlook is that it will be we'll
advanced towards spring before the last
deliveries of the 1900 crop are made
There was shipped from Viroqua during
the past year 22O carloads of bundle to-
bacco.
| F. G. Borden is in the market for
trash and other damaged tobacco for
which he will pay one cent a pound. To
bacco may be delivered at the ware
house of Whittet & Son, No. 3. 52tf.
Fifty persons are now engaged at Cul-
toms tobacco warehouse, which force
| will probably be maintained several
weeks, the crop being handled more
thoroughly than ever before. Electric
| lights have been put in the basement,
thus enabling ten hours work daily.
The building, however, is not yet COM
pleted, the putting on of the outside
sheeting of iron having been delayed by
| the inclement weather. The opening of
| this industry will undoubtedly stimulate
the raising of tobacco so that additional
warehouses will be built next season.
