Selling Tobaceo In Danville.
It is an interesting sight to see tho
hundreds of covered tobacco wagons
come to market. Large ware houses aro
ready to offer every inducement to fann
ers to sell their load. Driveways lead
to the great floors where tho load is as
sorted in piles according to grade, hav
ing been weighed first while on tho
truck. Each pile is tagged with tho
name of the owner and the weight,
with a place for the buyer's name and
price. Many farmers remain over night,
for they arrive at all hours of the day
and night. Freu stables and other ordi
nary comfort aro provided.
There aro ten ware houses in Danville,
N. C. They are divided into two series
of livo each, and public sales aro con
ducted in two at tho same time. Under
tho direction of tho Tobacco Exchange
tho order of sales is arranged. Placards
are posted at different points, "First 6alo
1 at Neal's." "Second sale at Acreo's." and
60 0n. each warehouse taking its assigned
turn until all live have sold out first to-

Dkah Sin: It has been some time since
I wrote a letler to you, but I have been so
well that It has not been necessary. You
; lenietnber when 1 first wrole you in May,
' lrtfl, I was in a fearful condition with a
i
complication of troubles. I could not
stand on. my feet five minutes at a time
i unless walking around; it seemed as
I though my b.tck would break apart. You
reineml er that I had an enlarged lung or
a bunch under my short ribs on the left
side and it seemed to me us though I
would smother to death. I also had liver
! and stomach trouble. In fact, my hea'th
was completely broken down so that I
! would have been much better dead than
I alive. Could not do any housework at all.
' how I am getting so stout; my bide does
not trouble me. and I can do all my house
work, washing and all. Please publish
my testimony in any of your books or pa-
pers.asl was just as bad as any onecould

1 weakly people here that I know your med-
icines would cure if they had them to
take, and I a'n sure If it was near here so
that it could be procured they would take
it, as all know how much I have suffered.
