Loose Leaf Tobacco market In Lancaster
Assumes Tangible Shape, And Its
Construction Before The Mar
keting OF Another Crop
Is Almost As
sured.

AhC DuhuiuS VI q lOOoc icdl lOOdCCO
warehouse in Lancaster is rapidly re-
solving itself into BUSINESS proposition
and is assuming tangible shape, and the
prospects of its erection becomes
brighter every day.
Last week a committee composed of
Messrs Ale. Walker, l.. G. Davidson
and Rev. F. M. finder, went to Carlis
lie to inspect the houses at that place
and to gather what information they
might in order that they might work in
an intelligent manner toward the con-
structlon of the home plant. The peo-
pie of Carlisle gave them a cordial re-
ception and furnished them every avail
able information that could be desired,
and the committee came home, not only
with valuable information in regard
to the construction of loose market,
but very favorably impressed with the
advantages to be received therefrom.
The farmers and growers of the
county who are interested in this move
ment and who are DESTROYS of taking
stock in the proposed warehouse, are
urgently requested to come in and give
in their subscription, as it is not desir-
ed to exclude any farmer who is inter-
ested. 1t is but natural that neighbor-
ing towns that have loose leaf markets,
and who are fully cognizant of the
enormous value of the Garrard county
crop, and the immense value to their
towns of it being marketed with them,
would be averse to the erection of a
market in Lancaster, and would throw
cold water on the scheme at every op-
portunity and wonld place every obstac-
lie in the way of its erection. There is a
report in circulation along this line which
We are loath to believe, we are not in
clined to believe that they would go
that far in order to deprive Garrard
county of that which she so badly needs,
and what she IS GOING TO HAVE.
Rumor has 1t that certain we'll known
Garrard county citizen was approached
by representative of warehouse in
an adjoining town ard rendered stock
in that institution to the amount of one
thousand dollars if he would abandon
efforts in behalf of the Lancaster mar
ket. OF course the proposition was
Indignantly refused, and the gentleman
is more enthusiastic in behalf of the
home market than ever. No Garrard
county man who has a spark of county
pride, who has the interest of his home
county at heart, and who believes in
safeguarding his own interest and that
of his neighbor, would ever think of
being induced by a monetary considera-
ton to abandon any scheme that was
calculated to promote the welfare of
his own country, if he did, and thereby
proves traitor to his home county, his
home people and to himself, he had
better sell his interests here, pack up
bag and baggage and move to to the
county who encompassed his disgrace.
Legitimate opposition upon the part
of our neighbors we expect and well
come, it is self preservation upon their
part, but it cannot be successfully pit
ted against the great home interest to
which our people are becoming awaken
ed. and the warehouse in Lancaster is
going to be built, despite the efforts to
the contrary of any man or set of men,
either at home or abroad
There is not man in Garrard county
that can successfully combat the state
nent and the fact that Garrard county
needs loose leaf warehouse. There
nay be some that would make such
though we doubt it, but they
.annot maintain that position. the facts
ire too strongly against them. One
rying fact, one that cannot be disput-
d, is this, that within the last five {
ears, during the prevalence of the '
,ood prices for tobacco, there has been
nough money spent away from home
y farmers who have hauled their to- |
acco away for want of home market, j

I'D to none in the state.
The farmers of the county, the very {
one and sinew of the county. are clam c
ring for home market, and their cry t
ill be heard, and before the coming of n
lie first day of next October, we verify t
slieve you will see a handsome and t
