CHANCE FOR A TOBACCO WAREHOUSE.

CHANGE FOR A TOBACCO WAREHOUSE.
 A tobacco buyer connected with the firm of L. Meyers & Co. of New York City was at F. s. Browns over Mon- day night and Tuesday of last week. He convassed section of this vicinity to see crops as yet unsold and express ed a strong desire to purchase the same if he can procure force of men and suitable place to sort the crops here before shipping to market. This would give a good number of the working class land we are all of that class) en- ployment during the remainder of the winter, but as yet the right building has not been secured for doing the same. We wish the enterprise might materialize into successful fact, for there is tobacco enough in this vicin- ity unsold to keep 50 men at work for several weeks. Perhaps we shall have the satisfaction a little later in an- nouncing that the project has resulted most satisfactorily.
