Prices Gain
For Tobacco
Oil Monday
411,214 Pounds Sell
for $30.33 Per Hun
dred; Total Over 13
Mill ions
Tobacco prices on the Henderson
market shot back above the 30-cont
level in Monday’s big sale, when 411,-
214 pounds were sold for $124.7."*1.93
for an average price of $30.33 per
hundred, it was announced today bv
H. W. Stigatl, sales supervisor.
The supervisor said prices were
higher, grade for grade, than they
have been at any time this year, and
the only thing that kept a new high
mark from being reached was the
predominance of the poorer quality of
leaf.
Monday's sales brought the season
total across the 13-million pound
mark for the first time this season
and also put th<> total money paid out
above four million dollars. The total
show 13,075,668 pounds sold for sl.-
1 15,469.22 at an average of $31.49 per
hundred.
There was a slight block on the
market Monday, which, together with
new tobacco brought in today, made
a day’s total of offerings for today
estimated at around 150.000 pounds,
which Mr. Stigall said would be sold
off by the lunch hour.
It is hoped the market will reach
the 14,000,000-pound figure before
Thanksgiving, nhd is considered cei
tain the total will hit that mark.
Tight breaks for the rest of this
week until Friday are looked for,
with a heavy sale the last day of the
week. Another big breaw on next Mon
day is anticipated. The market will
be closed on Thursday and Friday of
next week for the Thanksgiving holi
day period.

Stop Chills
and Fever!
Rid Yoar Sy»tem of Malarial
Shivering with chills one moment
and burning with fever the next—
that's one of the effects of Malaria.
Unless checked, the disease will do
serious harm to your health. Malaria
a blood infection, calls for two things.
First, destroying the infection in the
blood. Second, building up the blood
to overcome the effects of the disease
and to fortify against further attack.
Grove’s Tasteless Chill Tonic sup
plies both these effects. It. contains
tasteless quinine, which kills the in
fection in the blood, and iron, which
enriches and builds up the blood.
Chills and fever soon stop and you are
restored to health and comfort. For
half a century, Grove’s Tasteless Chill
Tonic has been sure relief for Malaria.
It is just as useful, too, as a general
tonic lor old and young. Pleasant to
take and absolutely harmless. .Safe to
give children. Get a bottle at any
drug store. Now two sizes 50e and sl.
The $1 size contains 2 1-2 times as
much as the 50c size and gives you
25 per cent moro for your money.

Ever Seen Here Planned
Enthusiastic Meeting Monday Evening Speeds Under
taking; Great Christmas Opening By AU Business
Here Is Approved for Thursday, December 6
Following a meeting of business
people last night, at which enthusias
tic endorsement was given to the idea
of erecting elaborate Christmas de
corations on Henderson’s main street
in the shopping district, and the idea
also of a great Christmas opening for
the business community, a number of
merchants had today already pledged
their contributions to the fund being
raised to pay the cost of the under
taking.
Evex> one of the 15 business con
cerns represented at last night's meet
ing made pledges there. A commit
tee will call on other concerns tomor
row and Thursday to receive their
contributions, and it is anticipated
that there will bo the utmost coop
eration and that the necessity funds
can be raised without difficulty. It
is expected the program of decora
tions will cost around $750. And, "with
the improved business Henderson
merchants have experienced this fall.’
said one man present, "that ought to
be a mere drop in the bucket for the
community to raise for this cause.”
Thursday, December 6. was agreed
on as the date for the big Christmas
opening. All merchants will be asked
to dress their windows for the oc
casion not earlier than the first of
that week, so that nil of them may
look fresh for the opening event.
Streamers and banners will be
strung along main street in the white
way district. At each intersection
there will be a festoons crossing dia

luminated with vaii-colored lighting
effects, and in the center a huge sil
ver lighted star dropping from the
streamers. In. the blocks will be other
streamers across the street and hang
ing from these will be banners with
wordings. "Merry Christmas” and
“Shop Early.”
In addition to these, if the funds
will permit, several hug,-* Christmas
trees, certainly one, will be erected at
vantage points along the main street,
imparting n greater atmosphere of
the holiday season.
The lighting and wiring system to
be used will be bought outright and
will become the property of the mer
chants. to be used each year in such
Christmas decorations as may be
erected.
It Is planned to have all tile decora
tions in place the first of the first
