FIRST TOBACCO SALE TO
BE HELD NOVEMBER 18th

Messrs. w. B. Ford and Lee Duke,
owners of the Upper Cumberland
Loose Leaf Tobacco Warehouse Co,
announce that they will hold the first
tobacco sale for the present season
on Tuesday, Nov. 10Th. In making
this announcement the managers o.
the warehouse make a few impor-
tant suggestions to the farmers in re
gard to the proper handling Of tobac-
co, which are as follows:
We would like to impress the farm
ers of the Importance of chasing and
trying their tobacco. Hands should be
tied about the size of chair post, as
the most of our tobacco is handled
by manufacturers, and they insist that
his be done. Don't bring your to-
bacco to the floor until thoroughly
cured; don't have fat stems in it when
you strip it, if you do it will shed
leaves and cause trouble in hanging
as most manufacturers hang their
winter-case tobacco and re-dry it
Bring it to the floor in good keeping
order so you can hold it for another
sale if you want to. Don't bulk il
on thaw after freezing as it will
not keep long this way. The farm
ers can help US make a good market
and hold it by observing these few
points,
Yours truly.
Upper Cumberland L. L. T. VIII. Co
1t has been pointed out that in case
the war with Germany should close
the prices of tobacco will become
much higher, due to the fact that
shipping conditions would become
greatly improved and that all the
foreign countries would be in strong
competition for tobacco. The price:
Of tobacco are going to be unusually
high this season, and if peace is de
dared the urices are sure to be much
better.

much these districts fell down 1t will be remembered
that of these districts also failed to raise their
quotas of the Third Liberty Loan and the people in 9th

But thanks to goodness, there citizens in
these districts who loyalty generously and periodically
bought both Third and Fourth Liberty Bonds and these
subscriptions with oversubscrpons from the other
districts enabled the county go the top where she
belongs, and her patriotism from dragging in the

To raise this allotment has been an unusually hard
task account of epidemic of influenza throughout
the county, German peace talk etc. but Julian Fisher

the job every since the campaign started three
weeks ago. and his untng work the county has been

DAY POST
PONED TILL NOVEMBER I5TI

On account of the epidemic of in
fiuenza which is more or less pre-
valent in the country, it has been
found advisable to postpone the Smith
County Agricultural Day which was
scheduled for Friday, October 25th.
It is thought that the crisis of the
epidemic has been reached, and that
the next few weeks will bring mark
ed improvement in the situation, if
not complete relief Therefore, in
order that more people may avail
themselves of the opportunity to at
tend this great agricultural, educa-
tional and patriotic rally the date has
been changed. Every feature of the
program will be carried out accord
ing to previous plans announced in
the columns of this paper. The pa
rade, the exhibits, the patriotic
speeches and the raising of the Ser
vice Flag will all take place as an
nounced. The exhibits are of a ma
ture to keep, and will not be damaged
by the delay. In fact, it will only
give the farmer and the housewife {
longer time to make selections and
prepare the exhibits. Save the pre-
MUM lists, and make all the entries
you can.
