Ninety-one cents pound was paid
for Mason county tobacco in Mays
vile, Friday. 1t was the highest
price ever paid on that market. John
Allen, a negro tenant farmer, raised
and sold the crop, which was pur-
chased by one of the Reynolds buy
ers, who declared that it was the
best tobacco he had seen in forty
years of buying experience.
New buyers now operating on
the Paris markets are G. H. CoZart,
of Creedmore, North Carolina, and
