Our local market for tobacco suspend
ed a few years ago and since that time
the product has been sold on various sur
rounding markets. For several years
past the tobacco growers have not met
their expectations in production, but
this year they have been more success
full; securing good prices and most of
them have met their bills and have a
good surplus. The crop has been short,
even more so than last year, and while
we may look for an increased acreage
the same will not fayorably compare
with that of three or four years ago.
