1906 CROP SOLD,
With Tobacco Grown in 1904 and 1905
on Hand.

Owensboro, KY, Dec. 17.-The
1906 crop of trash tobacco con
trolled by the Daviess County
Equity Warehouse Company has
been sold.
This announcement will cause
surprise in every tobacco grow
ing section in the Green river
district.
The tobacco has been sold for
several days, but the transaction
was kept from the public. The
purchaser of the tobacco is Robt.
O'Flynn, who recently bought
the Elliott factory on Triplett
street.
The 1906 crop Of tobacco con-
trolled by the Daviess County
Equity Warehouse Company
consists Of about 1000, 900
pounds. There are two reports
as to the sale of tobacco. One is
that only certain grade Of the
trash was purchased. Another
report is that the entire crop was
disposed of. The price to be
paid is $3.50 a hundred pounds.
1t is understood that a quality
of the tobacco has been deliver
ed.
1t will be remembered that an
agreement existed in the Society
of Equity in Daviess county that
mono of the 1906 crop of tobacco
was to be sold until the remain
ing portion of the 1904 crop and
the 1906 crops of tobacco had
been disposed Of.
The sale of the trash by the
home warehouse people is sure
to cause much comment by the
Equity people over the district.
It is believed that immediate
action will be taken by the
Equity men swho are not con-
nected with the Home Ware
lhouse Company. <
