Mr. Lambeth and his brother have put out 90,000 plants. One of the largest tobacco deals ever made in the West has just been carried through in Madisou, H is., by the sale to a Philadelphia firm of 13,000 cases of last year's crop of Wisconsin tobacco. About $350,000 cash changed hands. The shipment will amount to about 300 car loads. Mr. Washington Duke, "the father of all the Dukes," as one tobacconist has said, is in the city attending the com- j mencement at Greensboro Female Col-lege. He was one of the first men in North Carolina to engage In the to-bacco business, and no one has been more successful. We learn that a good deal of tobacco has been planted during the present season, but the excessive rains bare kept the land so wet that furl ber prep-aration cannot be made, hence the re- ' mainder of the crop ivill have to wait ; uutll the land dries out sonje so it can j be prepared, and we trust it will be within tue next day or two.
