The biggest load of Of tobacco
ever marketed in Dresden, per-
haps in the entire county, came
here on Thursday Of last week
from Henry county, being brought
to EzelIs barn by Joe Tharp, one
of the most successful tobacco
raisers and a leading, influential
farmer of Henry county. The
load weighed exactly 1926, pounds.
The frame on which twas loaded
was eighteen feet long and the
load was drawn by four big
Henry county mules. When you
stop to consider that 1,200 pounds
is the average sized load Of tobacco,
you will understand that Tharp
had an extraordinary load.

LultoE E-dSIe- DcdE SIT
L find much in your paper
which | believe will prove most
helpful to your readers but I find
myself not in sympathy with your
position with reference to the
library IN country neighborhoods
receiving partial support from the
county. We need IN the county
good roads. good churches and
consolidation of schools and
neighborhOod libraries.
Relatively few of Us desire to
see Germany succeed in her ambi-
ton but all Of Us cannot fail to
commend many of the qualities
which We find in German eharaet-
er. they are wonderfully efficient.
One of the chief reasons for thi.
efficiency being that they are q
reading people. library i found
within reach Of almost every
German and from childhood they
are taught To use books. You NAV
perhaps know that the per eentags
of illiteracy for the whole German
Empire / less than one per cent
We may learn from them a greaf
deal with reference To educationa
efficiency.
