The Messenger says that promi-
nent tobacco man of Greensboro pre-
diets "that tobacco will open at high
err prices than will rule during the
latter part of the season, and that as
soon as the houses fill 1t will take a
tumble" If the same prediction
should hold good here our farmers
should put their crops on the market
as soon as possible, but we are in
clined to believe chat the price of the
weed in the future is beyond any
mans foresight. ITS something like
Cleveland's defeat--the hind.sight Is
plain enough, but there is something
wrong with the foresight.
The first edition of the Daily New
Eta made its appearance last Friday,
much to the surprise of our citizens,
from the fact that the publication of
the daily had been announced for
about the first of the year. But we
suppose the Company saw that it bad
such a.good thing in sight and took
time by the forelock and whooped
things up a little. We wish the en-
terprise success in every way. The
initial numbers are fair specimens OF
Country dailies," but the company
expects to make great improvements.
The demise of Mr.. Sandy Dick, late
Yesterday afternoon caused surprise
to his many friends, although 1t was
known that he had been confined TO
his home several days. Deceased was
one of the best known horsemen in
this part Of the country, and at one
time, part owner of one of the largest
stables in Louisville. Sandy Dick
was a man too clever for this world,
consequently was not the financial
success in life that many people ex-
pect, yet he was a true gentleman,
and generous TO the full limit

send her orders to have them filled in
the most approved manner.

Our readers will remember young
man by the name of Morningstar
who, when roller skating was so
much in vogue, used to beat all the
Hopkinsvllle boys skating. He is
now editor of the Bowling Green
Democrat and is putting in excellent
work on that paper-in fact it takes
the front rank with the best weeklies
Of the State. We think he ought to
change the name of the paper TO
"The Morningstar."
