TOBACCO NEWS
Louisville Report.

Louisville. July 20.-Reports from
the tobacco crop sections indicate
fairly good progress OF both hurley
and dark tobacco. Rains, however
are seriously needed In some Sec
tions. although other sections have
received a fair amount OF moisture,
and In some sections of the hurley
district abundant rains are reported.
The local breaks last week devel-
oped more of interest than for sew
eral weeks. There was a good de-
mand for botr hurley and dark
grades OF certain classes. The mar
ket for the common grades OF red
and colory hurley was especially
active at an advance Of from &c TO
lie pound. Medium leaf was up
about &c. and good TO fine leaf adj
yanced lsc TO NC. The offerings.
however. were very light, which
probably accounted to some extent
Tor the improved prices.
The rehandllng grades OF dark to-
bacoo were IN good demand, espe-
clally the extra long leaf. The de-
mand for fred or export leaf was
notably strong; in fact. stronger
than for several weeks. Common
and medium Jugs were up about one
quarter OF a cent.
The Equity. society reported pri-
vaie sales OF $50 hogsheads of old
hurley during the week. Several
other smaller sales were made by in
divlduals.

Change of Firm.

A change was made last week in the
we'll known hardware firm of Farquhar
Bros, who have been in business in this
city for over twenty years, until the
name of Farquhars is allied with any
thing in the hardware line. Twenty
years ago last June Horace and George
Farquhar purchased the business from
their father, Uncle Sam Farquhar, who
was one Of the pioneer business men Of
Leon. They had steadily increased and
added to their business until they have
one of the largest establishments of the
kind in the state. In the deal closed
last week George Farquhar retires, his
interest being taken by Ed and Frank
Farquhar, who will be associated with
their father under the firm name of
Farquhar & Sons. The Farquhar boys
have grown up in the business and
there will be no change aside from the
firm name. George Farquhar has been
in poor health for some time and has
made no definite plans for the future,
but will take rest from the cares OF
business.

The Leon postmaster desires to call
attention to the practice of some
patrons Of rural delivery OF placing
loose coins in their boxes each time
they desire to dispatch letters instead
of supplying themselves with postage
in advance of their needs. This prac-
tice imposes undue hardship on rural
carriers in removing loose coins from
boxes and delays them on the service
of their routes. The postmaster there
fore requests that patrons of rural de-
livery provide themselves and keep on
hand supply of stamps consistent
with and in advance Of their needs. 1t
is also desirable that rural patrons
place in their mail boxes small detach-
able cnps of wood or tin in which to
place coins, when necessary, in purchas.
