BETrER TIMES COMING.

There never has been a time since the
war when money was scarce or when huN-
hess was duller. But as..dullness Is always
the accompaniment Of the summer season,
so the scarcity Of money may be somewhat
the resul. Of that. The greatest cause,
however a. the South Is the exhaustion Of
years crops and because We have nothing
more to sell. nothing which will bring mo.
ney in.
But the future Is encouraging, II not
bright. Bountiful crops Of wheat have
been garnered. The crops Of tobacco and
cotton promise abundantly. Confidence is
restored throughout the country. Extra
VACANT expenditures have been checked.
Debts have been reduced. and the business
season promises to open with purchasers
ready to buy and able to pay. Money will
flow into US both from the productions Of
our agricultural products, and from the
willingness Of the holders Of money at the
North, under the influence Of both CON-
mercial and political confidence to entrust
their funds in Southern investments.
We think we can sas, a better day is moi
