NUMBER II
Attention OF Tobacco Raisers.

We are Informed that some markets
are circulating the report that they
are from two to two and one half dol
lars per one hunderd higher than any
market in the state. We the Farmers
Tobacco Warehouse Co., of Campbells-
Vile, KY, do not wish to mislead you
or spread broadcast throughout our
territory, circulars or letters to create
any false impressions and then have
you come TO our market expecting
fabulous prices, and go home down.
hearted and disappointed because you
could not make a % cent average on
your dark or 30 cent average on your
hurley. The conditions that confront
the Tobacco Market are such that has
never existed in the history of the to-
bacco trade.
Ihere has never befOIe been an en-
barge ON shipping tobacco from local
districts, thereby causing a slump in
prices. Not only has the price been
effected by the uncertainty of trans
pOrtation, both local and foreign, but
by the care or condition of the tobacco
as it is brought to the market and Of
fered for sale. We ask the grower this
question. What can the buver do
with wet tobacco when they can't ship
TO their manufacturer or a redryer,
although he is forced to buy it at
reduced price?
Bring your tobacco to our market
IN good keeping condition. See that
the stem will crack at least a third of
the way OF the hand. Grade it care
fully at home and bring it to US and
see for yourself. You will coincide
with US in that, we hold the top aver
ages. Our sales are publicly posted
and We do not advertise any false re-
ports in order to get a little commits
sion. Those Of you who expect to sell,
watch the condition and bring your
tobacco to US. We will open now in
full blast if the weather permits and
will handle the remainder OF the crop
TO your best advantage.
On account of the order from the
Fuel Commission, our sale will be dis
continued on Mondays, only. Our
sales will continue all other days as
usual.
Sincerely Yours,

The Difference.

Did you ever notice the difference
before and after marriage? See a
couple that has been married six
months walking upon the street.
There is generally four feet of space
between them, or one is walking
ahead of the other, and they are not
conversing; and if you did not know
that they were man and wife you
would conclude that they were not &C.
ouainted. How was it six months be-
fore. You could not separate them.
If you would see one you would see
the other-a loving couple, using the
most endearing terms, and every body
saying, "a happy couple" Lose sight
of your plighted love if you will, and
devorce proceedings are sure to fol-
low. After marriage man will scold
the companion of his bosom when he
never thought of saying an unkind
word to his sweetheart. Again, the
wife will look sour upon her husband
when he returns at night, have moth
ing to say, does not greet him with a
sL.Ile, "iIeH SHE i;,tu u5uy %0tt.e> .s.
