Visit to CampbeIIsviIle.


Last Wednesday forenoon Mr.. ]. o.
Russell, Mr.. Doc Walker, Mrs. Daisy
Hamlett and the writer made bust
ness trip to the capitol of Taylor.
After seeing the parties they went
to meet, a look over a portion Of the
city was taken, meeting quite a num-
Der Of friends in their rounds.
Main street was not enjoying its
usual activity, especially the mer-
chants and grocerymen. The fuel
law is in force in that city, the order
forcing them not to open their places
of business until 9 a. m, and the
cfl-sBg order, in the afternoon. Just
. how long this edict will be in force is
not now known. 1t is altogether in
the hands of the government that is
making an effort to save coal during
troublesome strike times. s

is very Hattering, Fhs sales were to

the cities we're arriving, and by Fri
day the 5th the hotels expected to be
crowded. Every body was predicting
that tobacco this season would bring
better prices than last year. The
loose leaf house is a great enterprise

time and money can not be estimated.

business, and who sees that every
grower gets his just due. me pros.
poets indicate at this time a much
larger business than the year 1918. 1t
is to the interest Of every grower to
patronage the home markets.
