MADISON HOUSE HITS
$32.61 FOR NEW YEARS
Splendid Prices Are Tickling Grow
ers To Death" and All Are Going
Home Happy-Some Figures

There isn't farmer in this or any
other county who has been selling his
tobacco at the old Madison Warehouse
this week who isn't leaving town with
broad smile on his face. he has
reason. It's good reason.
The old Madison House with Elmer
Deatheage, Q. Million and Col. Jesse
Cobb, at their best, is getting prices
for the boys that they hardly dream
ed of for this season. Just look at
this, 177,005 pounds sold on the first
day, New Years day, bringing a to-
tai Of s57,721.s7 to the tobacco grow
ers Of Madison and surrounding coun-
ties. or to be exact, an average of
s31.61. II that isn't "going some,"
you'll have to show them.
The buyers appear just as anxious
TO get the stuff as ever and are paying
right well for il. Sid Lee, of Danville
Va, is here representing the Fenner
Tobacco Company, which has num-
Der of warehouses Itself and he is
talking right up in meetin' and get
ting his share of the offerings, too.
The sales this morning were in the
old red building, adjoining the main
Madison house, and used as a prizing
house. It had to be pressed into ser
vice TO take care of the immense
amount of tobacco that poured into
the Madison house Meanwhile more
wagons are unloading at the main
floor and when the buyers get back to
the Madison again they are going 70
find another mighty high class lot of
weed awaiting them.
Miss Mary Louise Deatherage and
Miss Elath Buchanan are making two
very efficient and attractive additions
to the Office force at the Madison
Sam Parks Wagers is helping on the
floor with the tickets.
II is expected that the buyers will
finish for this time at the Madison
some time this afternoon and then go
across again to the Home House,
where it looks ike there never had
been a sale, so much new tobacco has
poured in since the opening sales
were cleared out by the buyers. Viii
Luxon is out for new record at the
Home this season and he and his
hustling side-partners, are making all
their patrons mighty glad that they
are doing business with them
