Let me have your attention a
moment. I have purchased the
Planters Warehouse
and will have charge of it this season. I
have been identified with the Greenville
Tobacco market almost from its start, and
am familiar with every detail of the
Tobacco business.
It is my purpose in conducting the
PLANTERS WAREHOUSE
to run it in the interest of those who sell
their tobacco on my floor, knowing that
the more help the farmer the more I
help myself.
No effort will be spared to make every pile sold
at the PLANTERS bring the highest price.
Knowing the value of Tobacco, having
ample capital lo carry on the business,
assisted by the best that can be
procured, I can make it to interest
to sell at the PLANTERS.
Plenty of room to take care of your
team, and all the farmers who come to
stay over night will find ample
Bring me tobacco if you want best prices.

We arc glad to our young
friend J. K. Clark, Jr., who owns
one of best farms Pitt
just across the Beaufort county

farmers a lesson by going
into the cultivation of
peaches. year he by
fifteen acres in the
choicest varieties trees. This
fall lie will Hook an
acres and proposes to continue
this yearly until he has one
MM in trees. Mr. Clark
says fortunes are being made in
by cultivation of the peach
and he can reason why they
cannot be profitably raised on his
farm. If their shipment
prove unprofitable at a small out-
lay a canning factory can be built,
and are DO canned goods
that meet with ready sale
than peaches. We recall several
years ago we visited his farm and
saw the peaches we had ever
seen In this
hope Mr. Clark's experiment may
prove profitable and that more of
our farmers will induced to em-
bark into the ion of fruit.
