FLORIDA TRAVEL LIGHTER
THAN FOR MANY YEARS

There seems to be a very wide diff
ference of opinion as to the extent
Of Florida travel, and general south
ern tourist business this year.
Tennesseans who have been to-
Florida on business or pleasure dur
ing the past few weeks, and who have
just returned, say that there has new
er been year when tourists were 50
few in the Land Of Flowers as this
year
They say that the unusually mild,
open winter which has prevailer in
the north and east is responsible for
this condition, and that the "snow
birds" will not start south until
few billiards. sweep across the north
Eern climes.
Railroad officials, however, claim
that the Florida travel is as heavy
right now as it has ever been at this
time of the year. They say that adj
ditional coaches are being used on al
most every through southbound train.
At local garages it is stated that
the auto tourist travel has been much
heavier this year than ever before,
and that during October and Novem-
Der especially, many tourists went
through in their cars. The explana-
ton of this travel is that because Of
the increased railroad rates, and the
extra charge for Pullman privileges
which prevailed before Dec. l., made
it possible for parties to go through
in autos as cheap, or perhaps even
cheaper than if they went by rail.
There seems no doubt but that the
mild weather has considerably cur
tailed the tourist travel. It is said
that there are fewer Tennesseans in
Florida at the present time than, at
this period in other years. This is
believed to be due almost entirely to
the unusually warm weather which
has prevailed here until the last few
days,
1 With the fallsin temperature more
people are thinking about Florida re-
sorts, and Quite o number Of inqui-
ries have been made in the past few
days at the local railroad station re-
garding the winter tourist rates
The rates are not quite as low this
year. The round trip to Miami, for
instance, is $500 this year, while
two years ago it was about $40 III
SIP less. Rates to other points are
in proportion.

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

Many are finding relief from in
luenza, Colds, Sore Throat and per-
haps preventing Pneumonia, it is said,
by the use Of Miller's Antiseptic Oil
known as Snake Oil. It's great
penetrating, pain-relieving qualities
insure almost instant relief when ap-
piled freely on the chest, or throat
well 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 a 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 Gen.
trail Drug Co., SOc, COO and $500

Pointers on Tobacco

The Banner Warehouse had the
first sale today. The break was
large and prices continue to run high.
There win be no sales on Saturday,
This custom has been adhered to for
several years past. It gives buyers
a chance to work off their stock and
prevent a glut on the mar
ket.
Several prominent Washington
county tobacco growers have been on
the local market the first two days
of the sales. Washington county to-
bacco men know where to sell their
tobacco to get the most money for it.
Tobacco purchased on other ware
house floors in this section is being
shipped to Greeneville and resold, we
are informed. This should prove to
everyone that we have the highest
market to be found in this section.
a&##
A slight error occurred in an
nouncing the average made on the
first days sales at Demands ware
house. They sold- 100000 pounds
the first day that averaged S2c, in
stead Of S0c. We are glad to make
this correction.
Tobacco men from Virginia are
arriving here almost daily. These
men represent one Of the richest to-
bacco belts Of the country and many
of them have been selling on the
Greeneville market for several years.
They tell us that the bulk Of the vir-
GINA tobacco win come to Greene
vile this year.
rs So
It takes many years to establish a
tobacco market, Men have to grow
up in the business in orderto handle
successfully the farmers crop. 1t
can be said for Greeneville that-it has
some of the best known recognized
judges of tobacco interested in It's
local tobacco warehouses Of any mar
ket in the country anywhere. These
men make study Of tobacco the
year round. Their advice is worth
much to the small planter who is cul-
tivating his first crop.
#a#
Much favorable comment was
heard the first two days Of the tobac-
co sales on the new plan adopted in
handling the tobacco on the floors.
Every pile is now handled on baskets
This means fewer mistakes and
quicker service in every way.
