tends back to the L. H. & St. L. r.

all the modern lighting fixtures in

One of the commences the farmers
will be pleased with is the chute, or
load way, which runs along side OF the
warehouse and has been so construct
ed that the top of the floor comes up
with the level of the wagon bed, and
as fast as the tobacco is unloaded it
is placed in crates on trucks and NOV
ed to its location, saving time and
damage to the weed by careless hand
ling. The warehouse has capacity
of 100000 lbs, of tobacco.
Mr.. J. w, Boyle, the manager, has
wide experience in the tobacco bust
ness, and he predicts this a popular

many instances proved fatal before
medicine could be procured or a
physician summoned. The right
way is to keep at hand bottle of
