Iynehburc. va. September 90-John ID.
ogiesby, OF the Lynchburg Tobacco Ware

report Of tobacco sold on the Lynchburs
market:

Sold from September to September -.
1911! $4,000 pounds; sold from September
TO September so, 1910. Sio10o pounds; increase
cor 1911, sos. eco pounds.
sales are good, taking into consideration
that the offerings are primings. and the de-
are strong for that grade OF tobacco and
are proving highly satisfactory TO the
planter.
Much OF the carly tobacco is being cut.
and il is estimated that abou, 20 per cent.
OF the crop has been cut and housed.

Whole Layout Summed Up.
The above are indeed interesting
statistics. and taken hand in hand with
all OF the facts I have brought out
before getting down to official figures.
they Will furnish the Boosters with u
great deal to boast Of. And they have
a right to boast OF Richmond. for tho
greater city has made wonderful
strides in all desirable directions
within the past decade, and the whole
layout may be briefly summed up as
follows: Richmond has superior school
advantages. including manual training,
commercial. law. scientific. medical and
ministerial courses; she has abundant
and rrst-claas street car facilities; she
has building materials-brick, stone,
lumber, cement. iron-within easy
reach at reasonable prices; she has
abundant waterpower. much OF which
is yet available for manufacturing
purposes; Greater Richmond has un.
transportation at IT'S door--one mile OF
navigable water front: she has attrac-
tive and commodious hotels for pros.
pectors, investors and tourists; Rich
mond owns her Gas and Water Works
and municipal electric lighting plan:
Richmond is city of homes. with
permanent and conservative inhabitants.
with moderate living expenses and
abundant labor; she is noted for her
oh, a q 4
ligious activities; the city has ten
square miles of land area, good climate
and healthful location. The death rate
here from ontagious diseases In the
last two years was one-third lower
than the average for the United States.
What more need be said by an en-
thusiastic Booster?

left over the Union Pacific for San Fran

there are two or three cars of canned
