pure Democratic principles that every
aspirant might have z fair chance

that Is so dear to the people,
Thus the primary was ordered aud

on Capt. Ellis. We can but admire
his firm adherence to principle in
this respect, for it shows that he is a

THE BUSINESS OUTLOOK

The short crops aud close money

people feel the "gauut finger

believe that our section has been as
little oppressed as any part of couu-
try, The crops this year are over
abundant, and In p few months we
expect to be in the midst of flush
times.
There is nothing in the condition
of affairs TO give anybody an attack
of melancholy about Hopkinsviic's

growth has been checked for a sea

renewed efforts to create means and
devise plans for improvement. We
have plenty of public spirit here and
If We ever get it concentrated into
united effort it will bear grand fruit.
The harvest this fall will bring an
abundance of money into the county,
