Mr.. M. Ell. Soverhil had an experience
that is probably the most unique in the
history of Wisconsin. Mr.. Soverhill is,
as is we'll known, one of the old guard
and is probably the first grower and
packer in the state. The first crop Of to-
bacco he ever raised he sold to Jacob
Friedman, the pioneer leaf dealer of Chi
cago, in the spring of 1859. This week
he sold lot of the 1900 crop to the
son, Mr. Henry G.. Friedman. There is a
| lapse of nearly half century between
| the deals with sire and son, an exper-
| fence unique in Wisconsin or any other
state. This deal shows the long and I'M
broken record that j. Friedman & Co
has, as we'll as indicating the unusual
activity of Mr.. Soverhill
Tuesday and Wednesday were big
| business days in our village. The Ameri-

loads of tobacco which was shipped to
Madison on Tuesday, and another large
shipment was to be made Wednesday.
| About $4,000 was the amount paid out
to the farmers on Tuesday. Prices were
lower than have been paid in former
| years. which is due to the inferiority of
last seasons product, though some crops
brought good figures. 1t was estimated
that nearly one hundred and fifty teams
hauled in several carloads on Tuesday,
