Tobacco buyers clash over 1882 crop prices in Tolaaco Market
A large cadre of tobacco buyers visited the city seeking to bid for the 1882 crop but found farmers unwilling to sell at 10 to 15 cents per wrapper. Most buyers returned without purchases while noting the price is too high. 1881 and 1880 crops linger unsold with limited profit margins. Also reported are local accidents including Jerry Achey’s wagon mishap, Nancy Weiss injuring her wrist, Ray Smith struck eye, and Thaddeus Stevens scalding after immersion in hot water.
