Probably never in the history of tobacco culture in this eounty were the growers paid such low prices for their crops for the 1913 tobacco, and the trade of the local leaf dealers and the cigar industry were at their lowest ebb. December, as well as the previous month, had been counted upon to put some funds in tbe accounts of packers and manufacturers, but these expecta tions were not realized. All are looking for an early revival of business. In ilieir 1913 packing the dealers say they have the finest tobacco this county has grown for some years, odor good, and a free, sure burner. The little that has been sold went at 13 cents a pound, tnough it is predicted that within another month it will ad vance a cent a pound. Even then it will be below the prices of the 1911 and 1912 packings. While crops of the 1914 toliacco havo been selling for the past week, the total acreage disposed of has not been large, not a thousand acres, in fact, including the Havana seed sold early in the season. The Harrisburg Hospital is open daily except Sunday, between 1 and 2 o'clock p. m. for dispensing medical advice and prescription to those un able to pay for them. 5 N.
