"Tobacco Warehouse", Eastern Reflector, 17 June 1891Text from
News-Article
TOBACCO WAREHOUSE.
Lets Have a Grand Celebration.
At the meeting of the subscribers to the tobacco warehouse stock, held last
Thursday morning, R. J. Cobb, J. B. Cherry, C. W. Priddy, H. Skinner, J.
A..K. Tucker, J. W. Allen, J. R. Williams, O. L. Joyner and G. F. Evans
were elected as a Board of Directors. A call was made for the first
payment on stock and the Directors were vested with authority to select
the site and have work on the building commenced as early as possible. The
warehouse will be completed in good time for sales this fall. The
REFLECTOR suggests that a celebration be held the day on which ground is
broken for the warehouse, that all the people come together on that day
and have a grand time in honor of the occasion. What say the Board of
Directors and citizens of the town?
