100000
Will Be Paid Out For Tobac.
co Before the Year Ends.

In talk with Mr., Geo. c. Long
Thursday about the great quantity
of loose tobacco being delivered now
he said that if the seasonable wealth
cr continues 5000, 900 worth Of to.
bacco would be delivered and paid
for before the first of next year.
He said that fully 100000 has al.
ready been paid out by the different
banks, and at the present rate the
100000 worth would be easily
reached under favorable weather
conditions. Farmers are on the
road during the night and many Of
them reach the city and take up
their position at the warehouses long
before daylight.
The advantages of delivering un-
priced tobacco are great. A man
with a small crop can deliver
it and get his money on the spot.
There is no need for him to wait and
prize his product and bring it to
town and wait again until a buyer
comes along to take it. The loose
buyers want his tobacco and viii pay
him a good price for it. and the crop
is disposed of just like a load of corn
or anything else brought in from the
farm. Of course the extensive
grower can do otherwise if he wants
to. Money ought to be very plenti-
Full with the farmers now and mer-
chants are pleased with the way in
