Several carloads of live stock have

The recent strike in the North and
West has put business very nearly
out of commission here as there is
much delay in getting goods for fall
| season due to the railroad strikes. The
tobacco warehouses of the county have
also closed down we are told as a re-
suit of the strike and Of course this
tends to lessen business. Those who
have already gotten in the bulk of
their merchandise are indeed fortunate
however things may be adjusted with
in the next few days and everything
get normal again.
