Heavy Sales
Reported On
Tobacco Mart

Heavy sales marked the progress
of the Henderson tobacco marKc'
again today, with Fred M. Allen, Dr..
sales supervisor, predicting more
than 100000 pounds would be dis
posed of in the siX-hour selling pc
riod. He estimated prices in keeping
with the past lew selling days o.
better.
Some Of the best types of leaf in
1889 crop are now finding their way
to market and considering the diff
ficulties arising from the war situa-
ton and over-production, growers
are apparently pleased with the prices
they are receiving.
Mr.. Allen estimated more than a
million pounds of leaf was on the
market today, with block sale as
sured. He thought the congestion
would be cleared Tuesday.
Business is beginning to feel some
Of the effects Of tobacco cash going
into the channels Of trade, after
many growers have discharged their
obligations to banks, time merchants
and others who financed them thro-
ugh the growing season. This is ex-
pected to be felt in increasing pro-
portions from this time on until
Christmas

Routine Business
By Commissioners
During Forenoon

Routine business, for the most part,
occupied the Vance Board Of County
Commissioners today at their month
ly meeting for November. Delegations
or individuals seeking considerations
from the county appeared at various
times and were given hearings
]. w. Sanders, county agent and
AAA director for the county, asked
the board to provide $40 monthly to-
ward salary for a stenographer in
his office, and the commissioners in
dicated that if they could find the
funds available they would grant the
request.
Managers Of county institutions
and agencies were to be heard by the
board during the day, but so far as
could be learned, no business of out
standing Importance was to be heard.
Probably the next thing Stain will
