1935 Tobacco Brings More Than 1934 Crop Here
Henderson Market Sells
21,479,872 Pounds Up To
Start Os The Holidays
Total Money Paid is $4,-
628,956.02 For Average
of $21.55 Per Hundred
Pounds.
SALES AND MONEY
LOWER LAST YEAR
Market Sold 15,087,692
Pounds for
Christmas, 1934, but Aver
age for Henderson Market
Was $30.30; To Reopen
January 13.
Alung with all other markets in the
Middle and Old Belts, the Henderson
tobneco market pulled up to a halt
Friday for the Christmas-New Year
holidays, stal l inf? a four-weeks sus
pension of sales from Friday. Decem
ber 13. to Monday. January 13, 1936.
The Henderson market during the
season up to the holidays has paid
out approximately $56,000 more on a
price average about one-third off
than it did for the corresponding pe
riod last year. Total sales through
Friday amounted to 21.179.872 pounds
bringing $1.628956.02 for an average
of $21.55 per hundred pounds, accord
ing to official figures announced to
day as compared with 15,087,692
pounds, bringing $4,572,066.92 for an
average of $30.30 to Christmas last
year.
The mark* i. has sold approximately
six and a half million pounds more
of tobacco to the present lime than
it did in the same period lasi year.
Bid the average price is nearly nine
fonts a pound, or almost onethird,
less Ilian a year ago. Predictions
made at the si art of the season were
that the year's crop would net the
growers more actual cash than last
year. In spite of the price decline, due
to a much larger production this year
than last.
The Henderson market has set as a
goal for the 1935 crop of 25.000.000
pounds, and to reach that figure must
sell slightly over four and a half mil
lion pounds after the first of the year.
.Inal how long sales will be carried
on after the opening January 13 has
not been determined.
The past week saw sales pick up
sharply after a rather light, sales week
in the first after the Thanksgiving
holidays. The past week saw total
sales of 1,196,226 pounds for $253,-
167.29 for an average of $16.96. the
decline in price being due to the in
ferior types of tobacco offered for
sale.
It is estimated that more than 80
percent of the crop that will he solo
on the Henderson market has already
been disposed of. There will probably
be some good tobacco after the first
of the year, but the hulk of it will
likely be of poor quality, with a low
average. The season's average here is
expected to be at least 21 cents, or
possibly better.

KIWANIS PREPARES
VUEETIDEACTIVITY
Providing Toys for Under
privileged Children; New
Members in.
Discussion of its Christmas pro
gram occupied much of the time of
the Kiwanis club Friday evening at
its regular weekly luncheon meeting.
The club is assembling second hand
toys for distribution to children in
poor families, and already has re
ceived an enormous quantity of them.
The toys arc being handled by a.
committee and under the supervision
of W. R. Turner and G. L. Leggett.
The club’s membership also decided
to join with the Rev. L. R. Mcdlin,
a Kiwanian, and pastor of the Meth
odist Protestant church, in providing
Santa Claus for a number of young
sters, 21 in all, and the club’s quar
ters will be used for that purpose.
The club a week ago voted to make
its usual Christmas contribution to
the underprivileged child milk fund
for the schools, and the offering will
he taken at the meeting next week.
At. that meeting Noel B. Tuck was
received as a new member, and was
presented by Horace M. Robinson and
welcomed by A. P. Barnes, John
Sorenson was also welcomed as the
Junior Kiwanian as representative of
the senior class of the Henderson
high school, for the month of Decem
ber. He was presented by J. H. Bryan.
The program at that time was in
charge of W. C. Poe, principal of
Aycock high school, who presented
several songs and a Christmas play
by members of the third grade of his
school, under direction of Miss Ellen
Johnson, teacher of the grade.
At last night’s meeting Charles B.
Finch was received as a new mem
ber of the club, being presented by
Jack Turner and welcomed by J. C.
Kittrcll. The attendance prize was
presented by R. F. Sprinkle and
drawn by Robert. Bunn.

SHOPPERS THRONG
Cloudy, Drizzly Weather no
Deterrent to Busy Christ
mas Buyesr.
ONE OTHER SATURDAY
Christinas j s Almost Here ami Next
Eight Shopping Days Expected
To Be Big Ones for
Henderson Merchants
Pressed for time in getting ready
for the year’s greatest holiday, Christ
mas shoppers braved an early morn
ing rain and cloudy weather the rest
of the day to get in some hard blows
toward completing their task and
thronged Hes r lei‘ son stores through
out the day.
, All through the day streets were
crowded in the shopping district, and
most merchants were sharing in the
accelerated buying wave that was un
der way. With the passing of the day.
only eight more shopping days were
left, and one of these was a Saturday.
One full week and two days in an
other week remain before Christmas
day gets here.
The temperature was not objection
ably cold, but the atmosphere was
damp and the out-of-doors was un
pleasant and rather murky. But the
Christmas shoppers went their way
regardless. Bundles and packages
were in evidence on every side.
The past week is understood to
have been one of the host of the fall,
and the coming week is looked to in
the hope of bringing even larger vol
ume of trade.
All stores are well stocked with
Christmas merchandise, and gift buy
ing is well under way, and in large
quantities. In nearly every store arc
stacks of merchandise that has been
put away for folks who have no place
at home to keep it until the time ar
rives for its presentation as Christ
mas giving.

Churches Are To Unite At
M. E. Church for Christ
mas Services
Three, music groups of the Hender
son high school, the glee clubs, the
mixed chorus and the orchestra, will
offer their annual Christmas program
of music at a special service tomor
row evening in the First Methodist
church. Other churches in the city
have called in their evening services
Sunday so that their congregations
may attend the presentation of the
program.
The various groups will be attended
by their directors, W. B. Harrison
and M|;s Maxine Taylor being in
charge of the glee clubs and the mix
ed chorus, and J. S. Denholm and L.
E. Miller with the orchestra. Mrs. E.
F. Shaw, organist at the First Metho
dist church, will be accompanist.
The program offered is a very ela
borate one, and is expected to be
above the high standard of excellence
of previous Christmas performances
by these groups.
Because of the fact that the schools
will have suspended for the holidays
by the next week-end and many
teachers will have gone to their
homes for the holidays, and because
the churches themselves will be pre
senting programs, the high school
Christmas music is being given this
Sunday evening. A large attendance
of the people of the community is an
ticipated.

With Seven New Ones Added
Three of the Christmas Opportuni
ties, or needy cases, offered by the

families may be obtained from the
Army officials, together with the

there will be a response this Christ
mas sufficient to meet all the more
urgent cases of need in the com
munity. Salvation Army officers
vouch for the worthiness of all cases
being presented, each of which has
been investigated.
Cases taken and those not yet pro
