BETTER TIMES ARE HERE.-The recent
sharp advances in the prices of wheat, cotton
and beef cattle have caused decided increase
in the volume of business transacted, and the
trade outlook is much brighter. This at least
is the opinion of Messrs. j. G. Rouse & Son,
of Bel Air. The Messrs. Rouse are enterprs-
ing merchants and business men, and their
opinion on such matters is worth having. AS
they buy and sell nearly every kind of article
produced or used in the county, they have
good opportunities to be posted. The whole
sale price of sugar has advanced one cent a
pound within the last three weeks, and dry
goods have kept in sympathy with the increase
in the value of farm products which rule the
whole market The same causes which
brought about rise in the beef market have
increased the price of leather. The Messrs.
Rouse says this advance has caused an aver
age increase of % cents in the wholesale cost
of pair of shoes. They were far seeing
enough, however, to apprehend the rise in
prices and laid in very large stock of foot
wear, and they have determined to sell their
stock at the former low prices, for which
their customers will doubtless thank them.
Mr.. John Fl. Reckord, of the Henry Reckord
Manufacturing Company, says the outlook
for good grain market is first-rate. He is
now paying 20 cents for good wheat delivered
in Bel Air. OF course the -four market has
followed the upward tendency of wheat, but,
as is usual, the increase of price brings bet
ter demand. Mr.. Reckord thinks the advance
is due to a real scarcity of stock in hand due
to the large feeding of wheat to stock.

EVANSVILLE. May 13.-From the appear
ance of the list of candidates as already pub
lished, and from personal knowledge of many
who aspire to fill offices but whose names have
not as yet been announced, it appears very
probable that the list of names will be as long
as that, from which a choice was made in 1898.
of this list we are not prepared to say how
many are available as far as the famous Jeffer-
sonian test will apply, but is it not apparent
that the lesson taught Democratic voters by
the last two elections, and the large number
of independents should be regarded and that
steps should be taken at once to secure a
ticket which would be successful. An even
supposedly weak ticket would meet with all
overthrow which would be fatal to the party.
There are enough good men in the county to
lead the party to an honorable and sure vic
tory, but those who may not be considered
available by majority of voters, may each
secure a sufficient number of faithful follow
ers to place an unacceptable man as winner in
the race. To avoid such catastrophes in the
future there seems to be one way, and that is
abolish the weighty and cumbersome Craw-
ford system

A SnlRndid Library

The Boston Public Library, which has re

and most interesting public buildings in
America. 1t was erected by the people oil

lower hall, and traversing the zodiac, one
mounts like Christian of old, to the deectable
mountains of books, but, here too, like Chris

as his, and much less terrifying; for our lions
are of stone, and our way, instead of being

for their consummation. From the present
outlook there will be. no necessity for any
large expenditure of money for a few years,
