LONDON, Nov. 1S.-King George,

TOBACCO GROWERS

We are receiving daily numbers
of letters from farmers and tobacco
growers asking when tobacco sales
will open, and we have consulted
Evan S. Rees, proprietor of 'the
Washington County Tobacco Ware
house, Johnson City, Tenn, who in
forms us that owing to the epidemic
of Spanish influenza, the markets of
Eastern North Carolina were forced
to close from October 9th until No
vember 9th, and since the same corps
Of buyers are used on the hurley
markets as are used on the North
Carolina markets, it is absolutely i'm
possible to get buyers until the mar
kets are closed there definitely.
A letter has been received from
one Of the largest buying interests
saying that the army and navy have
made such inroads in their corps of
buyers that it would be impossible
to furnish buyers on any of the bur-
ley markets until January LIST, and,
of course, this would apply to the
East Tennessee markets, as well as
the Kentucky markets.
Mr.. Rees advises the farmers to
strip and grade their tobacco up
nicely, and tie it in medium sized
hands, and then rehang it, each grade
to itself. This will improve the color
of your tobacco, and at the same
time you will be ready for the open
ing. He also warns the farmers
against "pinhookers" and barn buy
ers, who will attempt to take advan-
tage of the farmers and buy their
tobacco at prices much under its real
value.
1t is the opinion of all well-advised
tobacco men that prices will be very
high again this year, and every pound
will be needed, and the factories will
pay big price for this crop.
It is our opinion that none of the
markets will open before January LIST,
but in case they do open we will
have large announcement in this
paper to that eject, giving exact
dates and all information desired.

Influenza, Colds,
Pneumonia,
Sore Throat
Spreading Throughout the
Country.

Many are finding relief from in
fluenza, Colds, Sore Throat and per-
haps preventing Pneumonia, it is said,
by the use of Miller's Antiseptic Oil
known as Snake Oily. It's great
penetrating, pain-relieving qualities
insure ALMOST instant relief when APP
piled freely on the chest, or throat
we'll creased when first symptoms
arise. The Oil penetrates through
to the affected parts and tends to
open up the air passages, making
breathing more easy, relieving the
pains. And for the cough few
drops on a little sugar usually brings
prompt relief. Don't fail to have a
bottle on hand when the attack
comes on, and if used according to
directions results are assured, or your
money refunded. On sale at Cen

Garbage Utilization.

Hogs can be made to utilize much
eatable material which would other
wise be wasted, according to a state
ment issued by the Connecticut AgIi-
cultural college. The report calls at
tention to the saving accomplished in
Minneapolis, where between $4,000
and 100000 is saved annually by using
swine to consume the garbage OF the
city instead Of burning it. Whereas
Minneapolis formerly operated its
garbage disposal at loss, the city
now receives $1.26 per ton for It's gar
bage as hog feed.
