 Let Them Keep It Up.-The present
 prospect for good prices for cotton IS
 better than it has been for several years.
 Unless something akin to a miracle
 should happen, the people will realize
 their hopes that a season of prosperity
 has come. If they will only continue in
 the policy they have begun-rafse every
 thing they eat at home and make cotton
 only as a surplus, this country will, in
 ten years, be as one vast flower garden.-

 A Cheap Trick.-A certain young man
 in this city made unique trade last
 Saturday, and it may be regarded as
 sagacious from a business standpoint,
 too. He gave an old darkey a half pint
 of fred eye" for the use of his horse,
 which he rode home, a distance of nine
 miles. The old negro walked the entire
 distance at'a 2:40 gait with that half pint
 under his shirt, while the thermometer
 gasped. Was it mean? eve don't mean
 the liquor )--Alexander City Outlook.
 Caught Rcd Handed. Special Rev
 enue Agent Cole and Deputy Marshal T.
 J. Fletcher went up into Jackson coun-
 ty Thursday on a hunt for a wild cat.
 They struck the trail a few miles above
 Paint Rock and following the scent soon
 found the still in full blast being oper-
 ated by three men, Kirkpatrick, McClin-
 ick and Sherman, all of whom were cap
 tured. After destroying the still and it's
 appurtenance they brought the prisoners
 down on the II :50 D. m. train and lodged
 them in jail. They will have a hearing
 before Commissioner H. M. Mccullough
 this morning-Huntsville Mercury.
 They Will All Come to It.-Mr J. ".
 Speight had a letter yesterday from his
 little boy. Cobb, who is now in Kentucky
 on a visit to an uncle. The uncle is a
 political stumper and for sound money.
 The youth wrote his father that Uncle
 Jere would make sound money man
 out of him (his father) if Uncle Jere
 could get to him. MT. Speight is an ar
 dent free silver man or was and we SUD-
 pose is yet. But he will come down. All
 the people will come over to sound
 money. But MT. Speight is doing fairly
 well. He has his son in a good sound
 money school, that is evident.-Eufaula
 Times.
 Word for the Hypocrite.-Oxford is
 full of hypocrites and they are con
 tinually castigated, and that. too,
 by men and women who, in
 some degree, act the hypocrite
 If every one in this world told in the family and in public exactly what he conscientiously thought of his neighbors it would soon turn out no one would have neighbors, but that the whole commit nifty would be together by the ears and the very devil would be to pay. In world where perfection is impossible and where few or none can bear to have the mirror held up before their own con- duet some hypocrisy is absolutely essen- tial to peaceful and agreeable social and business intercourse.-Ox Enterprise. Rev. MT. Gay Raises a Breeze.-Ths afternoon at 4:30 and 8 D. m. MT. Jack Thrasher, Rev. MT. Gay and others will address ladies and gentlemen at the tent on Montgomery street. Every night during the week the meetings will con- tinue. Last night MT. Grail lectured on tramps and said that whisky was the greatest cause to the low life of tramp MT. Gay has raised a breeze by saying there were few barroom keepers who are legally licensed, and most of them are thieves and liars, in that they claim to sell pure whisky" and the license is so high, the cost so dear there is no living in it: therefore since they will sell to miners they forfeit license, and since they lie about drinks they get money un- der false pretenseS. So his conclusion is that most barkeepers are liars and thieves in order to make money.-Mont- gomery Journal
 Eufaula on the Aggressive.-There seems to be a disposition on the part of the merchants of Eufaula to recall some parts of their lost trade if they can. They propose to buy cotton on the streets if permitted to do so; and thus give bet ter price than the regular buyers can afford to pay. They have figured it out that by this means the town ought to get very many more bales than it would get otherwise. The merchants are only interested in buying the cotton brought to Eufaula when all the surrounding country would come if given an oppor- tunity. The Times is heartily in favor of the effort We cannot afford now to do business on 75 cent storage against towns with one-third of that sum. The in evitable result is, must be and always will be against us if we longer continue it. The farmers are advised that there are some merchant buyers in the market and they propose to stay on this winter -Eufaula Times.
