how necessary il is for an editor to be posted

The Conservatives being defeated, which
IS now conceded, before the people, MIR,
pI'raeli, or more properly speaking, Ear
Beaconslleld, will have to retro from the
ministry and it is probable tbot
Lord Lytlon will return home
from India, as he is not in sympathy
with the Liberals. Unless Eerl Beeconsleld
resigns before Parliament meets, he will
game his successor and 1t is not REASONABLE
to suppose that he will select Mr. Gladstone
his greatest opponent aud rival. Earl Gran
vile will probably DO Mr.. Dlsrali's choice

the information that the Denison 81 South

by tho Missouri, Kansas 81 Texas
Railroad company, has been put under
contract to John Scullin, for immo-
diato construction from its present
terminus at Whitewright, Grayson county, to
Greenvillc, the county seat of Hunt county,
The distance between these points is about
thirty.fve miles and the road is to be ready
for operation to Grcenville by the first of
September. 1t is generally understood in
railroad circles that the Denison Il South
eastern terminus will remain Mt Grcenville
for at least one year. The East Line narrow
guage is TO DO completed MISUNDERSTANDING
to Greenvlle about the same date, and the
immediate consequence is that Greenville is
the beneficiary of a big boom. Transactions
in real estate are numerous and extensive,
and choice corner lots in the business centre
have increased in price from $3.50 and $500
to $500 and and So 900. Greenville is a
live, substantial town CT from 1900 to 1900

VIZ SEQ it estimated that the cotton crop

this is too large. Let us suppose It's 6,0OO,O 900

gives us Nm aggregate of 100000, 900
pounds. These S,0OO,0OO,O 900 pounds have
brought the producers an average of II cents

not less than Sl2O0OOOOO was profit, and as
nearly all Of the balance was paid for labor,
we can say that nearly SSs,0OO,0 900
