Tobacco Interest.
To the E litor OF the Dispatch:

To the E litor OF the Dispatch:
I wish TO inform the readers of the
Dispatch that I have been down TO
examine Mr.. Jim Dunbar's tobacco
in the Pelion section, where the bail
storm passed through and in regard
tc same, will say, after having lost
one-third by the hail storm he still
has an average crop of the county
and if properly managed will realize
good results yet. It is supposed
that Mr.. Jim Sbealy and Sam Crout
have the finest tobacco in the county,
but as I have seen nearly all the
tobacco that is being raised in the
county, feel safe in saying that had
it not been for the hail storm MIR.
Dunbar would have won the race in
the tobacco business. Mr.. Dunbar
is one of Pelion's leading and most
successful farmers, who has a very
ine sol! for tobacco and will enlarge
his business another year.

Wednesday, June "a, 1903.

From the numerous complaints re-
Gently heard from every section Of
the county in reference to the wretch
ed condition of the public roads; it
is legitimate to conclude that the
great demand of the times is for
their Improvement. On this question
we honestly believe that the county
is practically upar imously in favor
of permanently improving the roads
so as to put them in good travelling
condition the year round whether the
season be wet or dry, cid or hot.
Therefore, the only thing rensining
for us TO consider is, how are we
to accomplish this epos It is GER
tain that we cannot do it with the
communication tax, because the amount
is totally made quate for this purpose,
and it is 90 aslly certain that we can
not depend entirely upon the chsin-
gang to do the work because in point
of numbers it is not sufficient to do
the work expected of it even now.
Some other plan for improving the
roads must be adopted, but what
that plan shall be is left for those in
authority to consider and adopt. In
the meantime it is the patriotic duty
of every citizan liable to road service
to sa,u out and do good and honest
work on their respective section. This
will IN measure give some relief from
the grievances under which we are
suffering. There should be friend
~ rivs}y existing among the road
hands as to which can put and keep
their section in the bsss condition.
This work should commerce as
soon after the crops are laid by
"a possible. Now is the time.
What section will start the ball in
motiol?

Mrs. Joseph Lacelle, Ottawa, East,
Ont. Canada, writes:
"Peruna is better by far than any
other medicine sold in the Dominion for
the troubles peculiar to the sex. I suf-
fered with backache, headache and
dragging down pains for over nine
months, and nothing relieved me par
ticle until I took Peruna. A few bottles
relieved me of my miserable half-dead,
half-alive condition. I am now in good
health and have neither ache or pain,
nor have had any for the past year.
If every suffering woman would take
Peruna they would soon know its value
and never be without it."-Mrs. Joseph

 Under these circumstances we can but repeat that buying on breaks appears to contain fewer elements of danger in the long run, although 1t must be admitted that the tendency is for lower values until crop accounts assume less roseate hue and while frequent fluctuations may be expected we do not advise short sales except on good buges with the accepting of moderate profits One new bale re- ported at Waco.
