Report Not Credited.

Reports have been received from
HopkinsYille that the Imperial To-
bacco Company has made an offer
for the growing crop of tobacco in
Christian county at an average of
nine cents per pound. AS the crop
in Christian county as in every other
county in the western portion of the
state is controlled by the Planters
Protective Association, it is presum-
ed this offer, if a bona fide one,
will be made to that organization
At headquarters nothing has been
heard of the offer. 1t is said that
the Imperial Company would accept
the tobacco in a loose state only. 1t
is hardly probable that such an offer
would be accepted by the association.
