Sales increased sharply on the Hen

ond of the season and first full week

pounds for 1884,, 319.49, sat an average
of $20.26 per hundred pounds.
For the season-two weeks-the'
market had sold through Friday a

at an average of $2O.9S per hundred
pounds.
At the corresponding date last year,
representing seven selling days,
against nine this season to date, the

$803, 231.26 for an average of $26.90
per hundred pounds. a.
Offerings so far have been of very
inferior type of leaf, tobacco men say,
and they believe prices will improve
considerably when the better quality
of tobacco makes its appearance on
warehouse floors. Present prices are
considered to be reflecting the dam
age done by the long wet season in
June and early July, and the dry spell
that followed that.
All warehouse floors were cleared
Friday night, and nothing was left
over to be hold when sales resume on
Monday morning. Tobacco already
was coming into town this afternoon
for the break of Monday, and one of
the largest of the season is looked for

ROAD To V|CKSBORO
TO Be BUILT SOON
Contract Due To Be Let By
Highway Commission
In November

Work is to start late in the fall on
construction of a bituminous surface
highway east of the city that will ex-
tend all the way to the Warren county
line at Vicksboro, according to
Samuel M. Watkins, chairman of the
Vance Board of County Commission
ers. The work will be done by the
State: Highway and Public Works
Commission under contract to private
builders.
The new letting, expected to be
made in November will cover the
some five or six miles from Aycock
high school to the Warren county
line. It will be tar and gravel type
of highway, the same as that extend
ing from the eastern city pavement
to Aycock school. Construction is
now about finished on the last mile
of this leg OF the highway, and is ex-
pected to be completed entirely by
probably the middle of October.
How long will be required for the
new project to be finished will de-
pend in large measure on the wealth
er, since the contract, if let in Novem-
Der, would be given just before winter
sets in. However, sufficient progress
should be made, it is felt, to permit
the completion in the early spring.
Construction of this pave nent will
open up new improved route of traf-
fic to the east of the city, shortening
the distance to many parts of the
lower section of Warren county and
The western and northern parts OF
Franklin, as well as to the territory
still further east. Connection would
be made at the county line with the
improved highway that runs from
Warrenton to Louisburg, and on out
to Rocky Mount and points to the
cast, though this would not be much
Of shortening of distance to those
points, as rather direct route now
exists by way of Epson to Louisburs
and points further east.

their schools and keeping up their

Unless a monkey wrench should be
propelled into the gears aforetime.
Vance's county commissioners most
likely will vote to demand nothing
from the State by way of remunera-
ton.
It was recalled today that back
about 1881 the State did pay Vance
some $30,500 for mile of paving ex-
tending westward from the city limits
toward Oxford, and which became a
part of that marvelously banked
boulevard connecting the two county
seats. There seems to be some vague
ness as to whether that fund covered
only the stretch toward the neighbor-
ing Granville capital, or if it were
meant to recompense for the fingers
of concrete stretched mile in two
other directions, one toward Dabney,
the other toward Epson and Louis
burg.
But officials of other days can
wrestle with that memory, so far as
State or county may be concerned, if !
only the present board of commits
sioners play ball with Highway Com
missioner Boddie Ward and his col |
leagues and recall an already well
nign forgotten appeal for generous
gratuity from a good-natured COM
