YTLE
OF THE CROOK COUNTY MONITOR
AND THE STATE UNI
VERSlTY.
Gives Reason Why His County Has
Never Been Represented in the
State Institution of Learning
Goes After Bill BarIow-Asks a
Pertinent Question.

The following excerpts are from the
current number of the Crook County
Monitor. ably edited by Joe Lyle at
Sundance:
The fact seems to be that the editor
of the Douglas Budget is feminist any
institution which has for its earnest
purpose the moral or educational ad-
vancement of mankind. His recent I'M
kind and partially untruthful comments
upon the state university indicate this.
But one really annot expect anything
better from a man who assumed the
attitude that Mr.. Barrow did on the
gambling question last winter. 1t is not
surprising, therefore, that he should
take issue with the president of the
university, who is said to be a Christ
ian man of exceptional educational at
tainments.

The Laramie friends of Lieutenant
Commander Emory Land of the cadets

some purse for the purpose of pre-

a sword and belt in appreciation of
the admirable record he has made at
Annapolis to the honor of the state
university, where he graduated. and of
the Gem city of the plains, the home

The best reasons the Monitor knows
of why Crook county does not liberal
ly patroniZe the state university are
our isolated location and the existence
of an excellent state institution of
learning in South Dakota thirty-fve
miles from the county seat of Crook
county. Another cause of our nonrep'
resentation at the Wyoming universe
ty may be found in the fact that the
university is SO seldom represented in
Crook county.

LARAMIE DERIVES Benefit
FROM NEW CONNECTIONS.

Since the road from E~ncampment to
the new Rambler mine has been open
ed it is becoming quite a popular route
to the railroad at Laramie, says the
Grand Encampment Herald. The drive
is longer but a much more interesting
and attractive one than the Saratoga
Wolcott route. The indications are
that Laramie will in the future derive
much benefit from her connections
with Grand Encampment.

Hopper BrOs.

This establishment lie the only one
in Hopkinsville doing exclusively q
book and stationery BUSINESS and the
proprietors deserve great deal of
credit for doing what none Of our
business men have heretofore been
willing to undertake--that is, to risk
their capital in a book store, and
they deserve the support Of the pub
lie. They had an abiding faith in
the intelligence OF the people Of
Hopkinsville and believed that a
store carrying full line Of books
would be sustained by the reading
public and the proportions which
their business has attained has vim
Dictated their judgment.
The business is now and has for
several years past been managed en-.
tirely by Mr.. Will Hopper, who is
one Of the most popular young men
in the city and an upright, honora-
BILE, conscientious business man.
The shelves of Hopper Bros
large store are filed from top to
bottom with books of every kind
from works on scientific questions
down to books containing only the
alphabet of the English language.
From their stock Of books the taste
of any person can easily be satisfied.
There are to be found all the stand.
ard works of fiction, history and
poetry.
This firms largest sales, however,
are in the school book line, for they
sell nearly all the books used in al
of Hopkinsville's institutions o.
learning. The first three or -four
days after the fall opening of the
public schools are exceedingly busy
days at Hopper's.
Hopper Bros carry also a large
line of periodicals-the leading mag
azines being always on sale there.
They also have on hand at all times
the latest novel of the day-the nov
ell that has just made hit and il
being widely discussed in the litera
ry world.
Hopper Bros. have demonstrated
the TACT that book store in Hop
kinsville can be made to pay.

Spot Cash Grocery.

Mr.. sBurch, proprietor of the
"Spot Cash Grocery" on MAR
street, has not been in Hopkinsvillt
very long, but he's been here long
enough to convince the public af
well as his competitors in the gro
Gerry line that he has opened his es.
Enlistment strictly for business.
Already his name is familiar to the
housekeepers of the city.
Mr.. Burch Gays that he sells for
spot cash because it enables him to
sell goods much cheaper, because he
doesn't have to employ book-keepers
and collectors whose salaries in cred
it business are as matter of course
paid by the customers, nor does he
run the risk of contracting bad debts
that finally have to be made up by
increasing prices to those who do
pay. These he gives as his reasons
for not selling for anything else but
cash. He declares that the cash
system is the only satisfactory way
of doing BUSINESS. His rule is to
buy for cash end in that way get a
discount and sellfor cash so as to
be able to give that discount to those
who patronize him.
In this "Spot Cash Grocery" is to
be found large stock of fresh gro
ceries--and he sells 80 fast that his
groceries are necessarily fresh, be-.
cause they haven't time to become
stale. He has one price to every
body, marking his goods in the start
at the lowest figure for which he can
possibly afford to sell them and make
a living. He counts on making
money by turning over rapidly what
he has at small profit each time
rather than by keeping his money
tied up and waiting for big profit
on few sales. This plan certainly
pays him or he would have abandon
ed it, for he has been in business a
long while.
The "Spot Cash Grocery has a
delivery wagon and all goods pur-
chased there are at once delivered
to any part of the city.
