RICH PLUMS

Several Clever Tobacco

The decision of the United States
supreme court in the tobaccn trust

portant changes in this market.

vile markets. 0 C. Hanks, of Pa.
ducah. becomes manager in this dis.
trict for the Weyman- Bruton Com.
pany. He will probably make his
headquarters at GAINESVILLE. but will
buy on this market also.
Normal Smith Of GAINESVILLE. who
has been general manager for the
American Snuff Company in this dis
trict. has been made vice-president
of that company. He will continue
to make GAINESVILLE his headquarters.
Nat Dortch continues as the local
representative Of the W. S. Mathews
and Sons Company. but James Ridg-
way is made local manager for two
companies formerly included with
this concern.
Ths parties directly affected say
that this means much competition
10 buying here. They say they now
have nothing in common with their
former associates. and will bid
against them just as spiritedly as
against the representative Of any
other concern.
All Of the appointments. except
that Of Mr.. Hancock. come as pro-
motions. and carry handsome in
creases in salary.
