Fine Tobacco

Editor, County Record:
Mr. T.M. Cooper of the firm of Cooper Bros. of Fowlers, has the best field of tobacco in the county, probably. It is the finest I have seen anywhere, and I have seen lots of it. Mr. Cooper is an all-around farmer as well as a merchant, and all of his crops are looking well, his tobacco being particularly fine.
