WINTERVILLE MB HAPPENINGS AMI BUSINESS NOTES. Is. C, April Owing to the extreme scarcity of labor we would advise all farmers to arrange their tobacco rows so every eighth row will be live feet wide, by so doing you can use a tobacco truck and thus house your tobacco with much less labor cost. There were some trucks used certain sections last season for tobacco, we in every where the truck was used there will be a great for them this season, and orders for several hundred trucks have already been placed many will doubtless come yet. If you will lay out your rows as stated above it will take no extra manure and but little more laud, and if you do not use the truck you can tote your tobacco the wide row much better, if you are scarce of help you use a truck. We are to lie head- quarters for tobacco trucks of best style. A. G. Cos Mfg Co. Claude has hi- family here from and occupies the house Church street. Barnes family, of Ayden, are visiting H. M.
