Only Tested Eggs
Will Be Handled
Elsewhere in this issue appears
a uotice signed by all grocers in
Pelham that in future they will
buy and sell only good, tested
This is a move in the right di
rection. No poultrymau wants to
pass off bad eggs ou the merchant,
and he doesn’t want to handle
them, and the housewife doesn’t
waut them. Heretofore eggs have
been just eggs, and the careful
farmer and merchant have fared
just the same as the careless, and
all have suffered alike from the
unscrupulous practice of a few.
From now on good eggs will bring
a slight premium, and poor ones
cannot be sold at all.
To Mr. J. F. Hooks and Prof.
C. F. Richards of the Hopeful
School goes" the credit for this
movement for the betterment of
all parties coucered. They
secured the co-oparation of nearly
every grocer in the county, and
deserve the thanks of every one.

Thomasville, Ga., July 14,—
The merging of the Citizens Bank¬
ing & Trust Company with the

tails, is a matter of much interest
and importeuce in business and

MARKET
OPENS AUGUST 6
The Georgia tobacco market
will open on Wednesday, Aug. 6.
This information was furnished
to warehousemen over the state a
few days ago by Mr. A. B. Car¬
a director of the United
States Tobacco Association. The
message was sent from White
Sulphur Springs, West Virginia,
where the association was con¬
cluding its annual session, and
was in answer to requests as to ex¬
act dates for the opening cf the
markets. All the Americau to¬
bacco industries are affiliated wilh
the associatiou.
The message gave the following
opeuing dates:
South Carolina—August 5.
Georgia—August 6.
Eastern North Carolina—Sep¬
tember 2.
Old Belt-—October 1.
It is said that the South Caroli¬
na and Georgia markets are opeu
ed the same week in order that
tobacco factories may handle the
crops of both states jointly. The
Georgia crop is not large enough
by itself to keep the plauts going,
so the crop of the two states is
marketed at the same time in or
der to keep the plauts ruuniug at
full capacity.
With the date set for the market
to open, Georgia tobacco growers
cau now get ready to put their
crop on the market when the time
arrives.

the Bank of Thomasville and Mes¬
srs Copeland and Park will also
