ing built up by persons who are ac-
quiring large tracts of land to develop
into magnificent estates. 1t is also the
intention of the company to give special
attention to the excursion business
during the summer, and possibly to
build and maintain beach resort
1t is said that the business of the
little steamer Doretta runs to about
$40 per day, with the poorest of ia

the better accommodations the new
company expect to provide 1t hopes to
build up the business to many times
what it is now or has been in the
past. For a long time residents of
Bluffton have wished for just such ac-
commodations as the company claims
it will furnish, and if its expectations
are carried out a fair share of patron
age may come it's way.

QUICK SALEAT BIG PRICES.
Packings Of Tobacco Sold at westby By Eckhardt
&co.. and NJ. H Bekkedal

1t is an unusual thing to note the sale
of large tobacco packing before the goods
have thoroughly gone through the sweat
and proved their quality. But there is
evidently a purpose to grab the Vernon
county crop grown last season ana re-
Gently placed in case. To this end q
representative of the United Cigar Man
ufscturing Company of New York. was
here on a recent date and did business
with local men. They purchased the
entire Westbv packings Of M, II. Bekke
dal and Eckhardt 81 Shannon. The
CENSOR il advised on good authority
that the sale consists of 750 cases from
Eckha'dt & shannon. and 5000 from
Bekkedal The figures paid are around
eour cents for filters and fifteen cents for
wrappers and binders. The entire sale
approached close TO two hundred thous-
and dollars. The firm will move the
goods Immediately to Edgerton, where
they have storage warehouses Fifty
ears have been ordered by Station Agent
Johnson for the purpose.
Big prices and quick sales will encolr-
age the farmers and buyers ogo deeper
into the industry than ever before, and
it is safe to predict that the increased
acreage in Vernon county will be fully
twenty FIVE per cent. this year over last

The Rev. John H. Daniel Of Stoddard
gave a Gospel temperance lecture at
Victory on Friday evening last he
showed his complete knowledge of the

ing manner. His lecture was garnished
with some exciting tales which told q
very striking moral They brought
laughter and sorrow in turn Mr.. Dan

weary, and everyone was delighted with
his lecture. Mr.. Daniel is said TO be
one Of the ablest temperance lecturers

can be compared very favorably with
such men as Mr.. Murphy Rev. Daniel

Local Tobacco Situation.

Only an occasional load or crop Of
tobacco is delivered in this city of late.
This is not because there is not con
siderable quantity of the weed still in
the hands of the growers The local
dealers have received nearly or quite all
of their purchases. The Bekkedal o.
Hazen and Eckhsrdt warehouses are
still in operation and will probably not
close up for several days The Ameri-
can people have disappointed large
number of farmers who sold to them
They declined TO accept the crops when
sellers were able to deliver, and there is
a very good per cent. of the purchases
still in the hands of the farmers. The
American company plead that their
houses are full at Sparta and that they
are unable to secure sufficient help to
sort and case the same. AT any rate ii
is disappointment not to be permitted
to deliver their sales and get the money
Besides they will not desire TO be obliged
TO haul their crops when the season is
crowding them with other work.
