He followed her here, but was denied admission 10 the Tutren man sion.

The Prosperous South.

The Louisville (Ky.) Courier-Journal says in a recent issue:
 It is plea sant to know that the south has learned the lessons of business well. and ap- piled them so faithfully at the right place, that when commercial distrust is making a record of failures and bankruptcies elsewhere com paratively few disasters of the kind are report ed from the south This can not be because lit tie was ventured, for there has been activity in @ great variety of enterprises at the south. It must be that the south, under the same unfa- vorable conditions that applied to the west and northwest, has had the prudence to hold cred it's sufficiently in check and to keep herself solid and solvent
 Here is pointer for capitalists who desire to invest in the safest field. The resources of the south are unfailing, and what is more the people have an abiding faith in these resources. There is something substantial back of our industry and financial system. There is no room or demand for any other kind. The south possesses in abun- dance everything that capitalists could wish for and there is less risk in in vesting here than elsewhere. In spite of obstacles we have gone steadily forward, and the record of the events of the past season shows how well we have succeeded in build ing up solid financial and industrial system.
