At the adjourned meeting OF
those interested in the starting of a
new Loose Leaf Warehouse in this
city held at the Court House here
Friday it was reported that $685.
900 worth of stock had been sub
scribed. Upon motion made the
new company was named The
Farmers Tobacco Warehouse Co.
and articles of incorporation were
fled with the County Clerk for
record. The capital stock was
fixed at 100000 and $4,000
was fixed as the limit of indebted
ness to be incurred by the corpora
ton. The directors were instruct
ed to place the balance of the stock,
amounting to $4,000, where they
thought it would do the most good,
and it is thought that they will
place it in Bath county among the
growers.
A committee was appointed
to select and buy a site for the
building and below will be found a
plat showing the lot purchased by
them.
The site was purchased from
Judge H. Clay Mckee and Capt.
G. H. Petry, both Of whom sold
their property at very reasonable
prices, which was 100000 for
the Mckee lot and $3,500.0O for
the Petry property, on which
there is already a warehouse built.
Messrs. Kirkpatrick & Clay have
a warehouse built on the west end
of the lot that sets in about 40x

Taxes Raised.

per cent; Morgan, s per cent;
Magoffin, 10 per cent; Powell, 10

tions sufficient to raise the taxes
to pay off the indebtedness of the
state and the appropriations of the
Legislature.

BIG DEAL CONSUMMATED
HERE LAST FRIDAY AFTERNOON
Loose Leaf Tobacco Warehouse Company of Director
Appointed and Site for Building Purchased From Judge
Clay Mckee and Capt c. II. Petry.


Sc feet on the lot purchased
by the Warehouse Company and
in order to square out the lot
these gentlemen donated that por-
ton of their warehouse to the
newly organized company. This
was most generous, as the lot was
worth easily $4,000, and the men,
bers of the committee desire to
publicly thank these gentlemen
for their generosity.
The lot purchased fronts on Bank
street 60 feet and on Locust street
100 feet, thus enabling the ware
house to have two entrances, and
Messrs. Petry and Tabb have said
that as long as they are the owners
of the property adjoining Sycamore
street that the Company can have
the right of passway over their lot
to Sycamore street, so really there
are three entrances. AS shown by
the plat the warehouse purchased
from Mr.. Petry is located directly
on the railroad, thus saving the
expense of putting in a switch,
etc. No better site could have
been chosen.
While the plans for the building
have not as yet been decided upon
definitely, it is the intention of
those who have. the matter in
charge to rush same as much as
possible and work will be started
clearing the lot, etc., at once.
AS yet the directors have not
elected a President and Secretary,
but same will be done this week.

MARKET
NOW OVER
Last Sale of the Year
at Loose Leaf House
Saturday.
Quality Very Low and Prices Far
From Satisfactory.

The last sale of the season was
held at the Burley Tobacco Loose
Leaf Warehouse Saturday. There
was only small amount of tobac
co on the floor, about ninety
thousand pounds. There were a
number of buyers present, but the
prices obtained were very low. In
fact, the buyers did not seem to
care whether they bought any or
not, but would buy if the price
was low enough.
IMPROVEMENTS go BE MADE
The Burley Society will make
extensive improvements and will
have a monstrous plant ready for
next season. Considering how
late the Burley House got started
this year they have done remark
ably well. Much credit is due
Mr.. Asa Bean and Mr.. j. R. Peed
for the excellent showing made.
