Meeting at Jamestown.

Rev. Pat Davis meeting, at James
town, is in full blast and great deal
of interest is being manifested by
religi Gus people of all denominations,
people living five and six miles out OF
town attending the night services.
Rev: Davis is a very jealous minister
one of the most successful revivalists
in the Louisville Conference. His
earnestness wins souls, and we predict
when this meeting closes conversions
by the score will be the result. Rev
Davis was born and reared near Mill
town, this county and though he has
been absent for a number of years,
the love for the county of his nativity
is akin to the love that a mother has
for her child.

Tobacco.

After careful Investigation into
the condition of the tobacco markets
Of the United States and such foreign
countries as information can be Sc
cured from and based entirely upon a
normal production per acre, for the
tobacco acreage now in sight, the
Department of Markets submits the
following report for the information
of tobacco growers and buyers in this
state. Withthe acreage now planned,
If normal yield per age is produced,
the price of all hurley, except the
highest type of cigarette leaf, should
show marked falling off during the
market season of 1920, and even the
highest quality leaf may suffer from
Competition with the. Virginia type,
if this is produced in any where near
the quantity indicated by the acreage
planned Since 1917, there has been
a constant trend toward an over
production of tobacco, but this was
not felt because of the sudden econo-
mic changes which came about at the
close Of the war, and the high prices
of last years hurley market were
direct result of surplus stocks in this
country and a partial failure Of the
Eastern American crops, together
with reflected advantage from a
short crop in India which caused
hurley tobacco to be exported in far
greater quantities than ever before.
With these advantages nullifed, it
seems reasonable to expect hurley
tobacco to recede in price in the mar,
ket of 1920 Land suitable for the
production of high type hurley should,
however, produce good revenue.
The situation in dark tobacco is
entirely different from that affecting
hurley, for while hurley is chiefly used
pic consumption, ia a country
p afford to pay high price.
