June 25 was 70 per cent of normal compared with 75 6-10 par
cent on May 25 and 85 8-10 per cent a year ago, the Depart

The Department estimated thirty-three million nine hun
dred and sixty thousand acres of land planted in cotton *!»

seven thousand last year, a decrease of 8 7-10 per cent.
Present conditions would indicate the production of about

SELL YOUR TOBACCO AT THE BIG TOBACCO WAREHOUSE, DOUGLAS, GA.
This U the firm that paid the big prices last Tear sad put Douglas on the map as a tobacco market, selling tobacco from $3.00 to $4.00 higher than North and South Carolina. Seeing the
bright future for Douglas we have bought tho compress site and are making the largest and most up-to-date warehouse in Georgia. It covers just exactly one acre of ground and most con
veniently located. We are putting our stables under the house and your stock will be in cool stalls while you seU your tobacco. Both tho Georgia & Florida and A, B. & A., railroads have
siding to our property. We can take care of car loads of tobacco just as easily as we can a wagon load. Tho buyers will not have to pay drayage shipping from this warehouse, which
will enable them to pay the very highest prices. Our Mr. Pegram will have charge of the big tobacco warehouse, has been in the tobacco business for thirty years, both sis buyer
and warehouseman. Has made tobacco his study, being in tobacco wtelve months in the year and covering three states, Georgia, North Carolina and Kentucky, from which an experience
is gained as to grades end values of tobacco that could not be obtained by remaining in Georgia all the year round, and he will have large orders on the market this season to help tho
fanners out
There being so many new markets this year, there is a question of ail getting a full corps of buyers, so, would advise you before placing your tobacco on any market to investigate.—
Looking costs nothing but selling tobacco in the wrong place may cost you many dollars. Last year we promised Douglas a good market and we fulfilled our promise—selling tobacco higher
than North or South Carolina. We will have a stronger corps of Companies and Independent buyers this year than we had last year.
We have secured the best force that could be had and you will find them fast, accurate and courteous. Having a force like this you will have no delay and can get paid for your to
bacco as fast as sold. Our auctioneer, Mr. Lewis, who has been demonstrating and showing the grojvers how to raise and cure tobacco is one of the best auctioneers that will be in
Georgia, and also a good judge of tobacco, will not leave the pile until he gets you the highest price. He is known ip North Carolina and Virginia as the “Silver Tongue Orator.” Come and
hear him sell. We have the best scales to weigh your tobacco, that money can buy.—Toledo Automatic 'double face dial—you can stand as far as you wish and can get the weight of
your tobacco as well as the weighmaster. Our experience of last year has taught us that it is necessary to sell tobacco five days in a week, giving you a market like you will find in other
states, selling every day. By so doing we are able to secure stronger corps buyers. We are in position to take care of any quantity of tobacco you may bring or ship to us before the market
opens. Will give you free storage and insurance on same. THE OPENING SALE WILL BE THURSDAY, JULY 17th.
Don’t Forget THE BIC TOBACCO WAREHOUSE h the Place to SeU Your
