The Alabama wholesaler pays the freis and adds his profit as he passes it on to local dealer. The local dealer who passes out to the Alabama farmer has anoth freight bill to pay and then adds his prof Zach person or corporation that handles must have some profit. We may not be al to produce corn quite as cheaply in Alaban and especially here in Blount county, as th do in the Northern and Western states, we can save the freight and the profits th go to the various persons who handle it. .Oneonta Southern Democrat
