We were the pioneers, we blazed the trail for you and brought to the door of
the Farmers their First Real Tobacco Market. Read our reports and Bulletins
and see what we are doing for you as your friend and medium with the Buyer.
Last Friday, in spite of unfavorable weather, we sold 80,000 pounds at prices,
for Burley from 12c to 34c, Dark from 10c to 17c.
The weather is opening beautifully now and prices are rising. Now is the time
to get it on the market. Let it be moving to our Loose Leaf Warehouse while
it is in good condition for handling and while the buyers are optimistic and
anxious to buy at better prices.
All grades and types are looking up, and prices are going to be what they were
at the opening of the season, if you will bring it to us in Good condition and at
the Right Time. It looks like this is the time. Get it moving out of your way
so you can get busy for the new crop. We note a big improvement in bidding.
From now on we predict a most satisfactory Market Here.
Sales on Wednesdays and Fridays Best accommodations afforded the Farmers
for handling Tobacco for most Advantageous Sales.
From Frankfort.
Feb. 4. 1918.
For the Adair County News:
The legislative grind is now
going on in earnest, Many pre
dicted that but few bills would
be introduced this session, but
these have proved false prohpets.
Some new members could have
distinguished him3elf by refus
ing to introdvce a single bill, or
an old member, either, for that
matter. Many members of the
House will work hard to get his
bills through the Committee?,
and bring them on for passage
and then passed in the House,
only to see them die in the Sen
ate near the close of the session.
The present House of Repre
sentatives is well' divided as to
the occupations of its members.
Farmers and lawyers predomi
nate. There are, I believe, thirty-eight
farmers and nineteen
lawyers in the House. Then
there are five editors, four insur.
ance men, four merchants, four
physicians, three real estate men,
two dentists, three army men,
including a captain, one of whom
however, has not been in attend
ance on the sessions so far.
Then we have a banker or two,
a barber, a drummer, a preach
er, a strawberry grower, and a
nurseryman. Several other oc
cupations are represented.
Last week two notable address
es were heard by members of
both Houses. One was by Mr.
Sackett, Food Administrator .for
Kentucky; the other by Dr. Bur
ns Jenkins, who gave a graphic
and eloquent description of the
European battle fronts. He paid
high tribute to the soldiers of
our allies, particularly the Ital
ians. -His portrayal of trench
life, battle scenes and of a bomb
ing raids which he witnessed,
brought these things vividly
home to us and made a profound
impression on the audience. Gov.
Stanley, most of jthe other state
officials, including several mem
Tobacco Warehouse CO.
bers of the Court of Appeals
were interested listeners.
The Senate last Thursday pass
ed a bill re-apportioning the sen
atorial districts of the state.
There was little opposition to it
in the Senate. It seems probable
that it will pass the House.
State Inspector Sewell handed
the Legislature a little surprise
last week. A resolution had
been passed by the House ask
ing the Inspector for informa
tion about salaries and expenses,
and calling on him for sugges
tions along the lines of retrench
ment and reform. The way the
Legislature got the hot end of
the poker was this, Mr. Sewell
made no very positive recom
mendations as to how any money
could be saved, except by taking
off a part of the salaries of then
members of the Legislature.
Harry Myers smilingly suggest
ed that the Clerk very carefully
file away the Inspector's report
and not bring it out again until
this session, at least, is over.
Considering the high cost of liv
ing in Frankfort and also the
high cost of getting elected,
most of the members are not in
clined to give up a part of their
pay, unless convinced that a
portion of the sum that has been
paid to members for years has
been illegally paid, in which
event they will not insist on re
ceiving it.
The new tax law, it is said,
will bring to the tax rolls, some
thing near two billions dollars.
This would mean eight millions
in state taxes. At this rate
the state ought to get out of
debt some time.
