Prices on all grades are fully as high as they were before the holidays and we are expecting a lot of tobacco, as we are having some nice weather now for handling it.

Mr. Robert Kennett, a well known citizen of Fentress township, died at his home near Pleasant Garden last Thursday after, a lingering illness. He suffered from lung trouble and had been in feeble haalth for the pasteigTTt or ten years, being confined to the house much of the time. Hjs death was not unexpected. Mr. Kennett was in the forty-eighth year of his age and had never been married. He was a quiet, unassuming gentleman, of simple tastes and habits, and had many warm friends. He was a well read man and a most interesting conversationalist. When attacked by lung trouble Mr. Kennett went to Ari-zona and spent some time, after which he went to Florida. Failing to receive any permanent relief, he returned home to spend the remainder of his jdays with loved ones and friends. The funeral was held at the Pleasant 2nd.

Our market opened up on Monday"
the 30th, with rather light tales,owing
to the extreme bad weather, but yes-terday's
sales were very much larger
and the offerings showed up nicely.
All of our buyers have had a good
Christmas and were back in their
places promptly when the sale bell
rang on Monday morning.
Prices on all grades are fully as high
as they were before the holidays and
we are expecting a lot of tobacco, as
we are having some nice weather now
for handling it. All of our buyers ex-tend
thanks to you for past favors and
wish you a happy and prosperous new
year.
