CONE SACK NOME.


Paris, Ny, Jan. 25.-Quiie large
nmber of tobacco growers have in
recent years gone from Bourbon
county TO Missouri for the purpose
of raising tobacco, being induced by
the glowing accounts gwen by the to-
bacco growers of the Missouri to-
bacco belt to abandon the raising
of tobacco here, where many of them
had been doing well, and risk their
chances in that new Eldorado Of the
tobacco interests. To such others,
if any. rs may be thinking of join
ing this exodus to Missouri the ex-
pcrience of II. A. McNcy will prove
of interest.
Several years ago Mr.. McVcy, who
had been doing well raising tobacco
in this county. was induced by the
accounts he had received Of the
superior prospects held out by the
Missouri tobacco belt to sell his in
teres,s here and try his chances IN
that new field. He has just return
ed to Bourbon county. accompanied
by his wife and his daughter, Miss
Gennette &rVsy. and will rent n
farm in Bourbon and reside here
permanently. lie had settled near
Weston. NO.. and raised several
crops of tobacco but found himself
as result of his efforts. the awner
ot nothing except sad experience
and conviction that Missouri IL
rot the place to raise tobacco and
80 he has cone back 10 Bourbon
county with his family TO start anew.
Nh. McNey says that quite a colony
from Bourbon settled in the neighbor-
hood of Weston and that they have
all had experiences similar to his own
and that many of them would be
glad To get back 10 Bourbon county
If they could pay fOr transportation.
He also SAYS that the only disap-
pointmeut awaits the man who aban-
dun- the tobacco field of Central
Kentucky for those of Missouri and
that nothing could induce him ever
again To cross the Mississippi, river.
Mr.. and Mr.. ". j. Duncan. who
went to Missouri several year, ago
accompanied Mr. McNcy and family
n, FAR - Cynthiana. intending TO
locate someV here in the Blue Grass
and reside here permanently for the
raising of tobacco in the future.
