to come to town. Where cotton is
clean it is doing very well. On
Monday number of wagon loads
of negroes went to the cotton
fields. 1t may be said that while
crop prospects are not by any
means brilliant, there is a tOlera-
bic prospect for an ordinary crop,
the season being favorable. A rain
is now needed as in many places
the ground Is hard and dry.

unreliable sheet.--Spekaas Rsrissc.
As our contemporary is In the habit
Of shopping over." this last ebulliton Ia
not at all surprising. II this paper Il
taken as pretty good authority on else-
ton returns, ID is because IL has a rec
ord for reliability in iadgmen, and In
statements Of fact. Since the day Of
election We have been careful 10 ex
eluae, an much AZ possible, hypothesis
from our reports Of the result, and In
giving opinions thereon have been ex-
tremeiy conservative. The election Of
Mr.. Voorhees, was net claimed unsil q

suit morally certain. On the contrary.
the Revie9 and several ether enthasi-
astic Armstrong organs have persis,
entity claimed railroad victevy. with
out furnishing or having sHy reliable
data on which 10 base such q conclu.
sion. In the very issue from which the
foregoing extract IL made November
10TH. the Rsrisw says: at Ia safe 90
say. with the returns already in. that
Major Armstrong lie elected In this Ter
sitory." IL makes the assertion with
out publishing single figure OF re.
turns from any county, leaving It's
readers TO rely solely upon its dicsum.

time found out their mistake. II is
safe 10 assert that ne person here Who
has relied upon the 6aures and esti.
mates Published in this paper since
election day, with references 10 the re.
suit IN this county and Territory, has
been deceived or nov regrets his ecnti
denoe. In such matters oar aim has
been to ges at the facts as nearly a.
possible. and, when estimating. 10 lssn
largely toward conservatism.
