justice her best sons crossed the

her sons sleeping in the soil of
France. She cannot forget the sac

could not.

he added, "for you will come back to

Sir John Bradbury, the only one of

considered circumstantial

WEATHER DELAYS
TOBACCO MOVING
Prices For Medium and Common
Grades Advance Some During
The Past Week
(By w B Kennedy

The movement of loose tobacco has
been some larger this week than last,
but owing to the unfavorable wealth
er conditions it has been light for the
season of the year We had good
rain Monday night and some tobacco
was taken down, but the weather
turned cold suddenly and dried to-
bacco hanging the barns and there
were only a few hours on Tuesday
morning that furnished a handling
season.
Sales on loose floors and street mar
kets have kept up throughout the
week, but at no time have the sales
amounted to much. The market has
been very firm and shade stronger
on all grades Especially is this true
Of low common and medium leaf
which comprises the bulk of the crop.
Practically all of the larger buying
interests are in the market and this
has made more competition resulting
in little firmer market condition.
There has been more riding and
buying in the country and no doubt
with favorable weather conditions we
will see a heavy movement. Prices
| for the medium and good common
grades of leaf are from l to 2 dollars
per hundred higher, while the low
and common grades are from SOC. to
| 81 per hundred higher. Lugs on the
loose floors of low to medium grades
are selling at / to cents. Consider
able tobacco has been sold at the
barn doors with prices ranging from
5 to 16 cents for low to good me-
dunn leaf with Tugs at l to cents
while good crops of leaf have sold
at Is to 25 cents with Tugs at to
cents, The better crops are being
more eagerly sought after and no
doubt will be taken first.
| Farmers have had a good week
for completing their preparations for
this years crop and have prepared
sufficient plant land to plant an aver
age crop, but no doubt the acreage
will be considerably curtailed, and
this will be largely with farmers
who have common crops and are not
receiving remunerative prices, but in
sections where prices have been prof
l table there Will be a full planting.
We find much gossip and talk among
farmers over the country about low
prices, and most of them see the
cause is on account of the low grade,
but where farmers have a common
crop on hand, and their 1919 crop
also, they are not much encouraged
to make big planting and many of
them will cut the crop out entirely.
1t 10 impossible at this time to mako
an Intelligent guess as to what this
year planting w:l be.
The Association reports sales OF
something over 100 hnds OF old leaf
this week at prices ranging from IL
to 20 cents.

it never follows anothers lead; it gets
the business first and the Post-Intelli-
gencer invariably trails the next week

The Partisan pays cash for every
thing; does not butt" accounts; and
charges cash for its advertising. And
last year handled $4,120 worth of
advertising more than. the Post-ln-

Partisan readers are the enthusiasts

and eager to read it thoroughly. With

from Paducah March 18th, reading
in part: II wish to advise you that
the owner of your contemporary was
in town last Friday, circulating am
ong Paducah merchants for business
He quoted a fat rate to Brights and
other stores of Is cents per inch
which sounded pretty low to them
do not know if the Post secured
any business out of here or not, but
regret that he has seen fit to cut
rates. OF course Paducah merchants,
from experience and investigation,
realize that there is only one paper
in Paris with circulation that pulls
results"
This letter is bona-fide as may be
vouched accordingly by several Paris
merchants who have read it in the
original signed form.
The Parisian. (Paris, Tenn.) 1907-1962, 1921-03-18

An apparent effort to tear down the
business of The Partisan, and without
the hope of any remuneration or prof
it to themselves, the Post-Intelligen-
Ger has slapped the Paris merchants
in the face, and quoted Paducah
merchants a rate of Is cents an inch
for advertising, regardless of amount
of space used, or regularity, or ten
cents less an inch than it Is charging
Paris merchants who patronize its
columns regular, including ] w Phil
lips Co, Quality Shoe Store, McSwain
Bros G H Trevathan Co, and others
using regular space in volume.
That newspaper has no hope of
making any profit out of such an adj
vertising rate; it cannot be made.
Its purpose evidently to rob The Pa
risian of a volume of legitimate ad-
vertising that it has been handling
for sometime.
Not many months ago The Post
Intelligencer carried 60-inch ad on
one page for Rieke, Paducah, and
charged them 50. On the opposite
page a similar ad for Howard & Jobe,
home merchants, and charged them
SIS. Rteke ran this one ad only;
Howard & lobe are regular home ad-
vertisers.
On basis of the relative circulation
of The Partisan and the Post-Intelli-
gencer, The Partisan having over 2
subscribers in Paris and Henry coun-
ty to the acknowledgements one sub
scriber, the rate of Is cents is really
too high-The Partisan rate being
rs cents with an additional cents
for set advertisements.
