Just imagine-how the wires are being laid. We understand every position to be had after election has already been spoken for, and what's more bew1lder- ing, has been confide11tially promised. Wouldn't that twist your thinking cap a couple of times? Well, they tell us political promises are made to be broken. and we imagine there are whole lot of curbstone politicians who are well aware of the fact, neyerthe- less they are ready to be fooled agaln. Now we do not believe in hoodw1nk- ing When you say so. always do so' That's OUT motto, and it's the only way to get the,confidence. of the people. For instance, when we say our 25c butter is the best in the city, no matter Wha pricelYou pay elsewhere, We mean IT, ana the butter proves it.

Fertilizers.
Montgomery Ala, Maroh 2s. 1903. To Our Customers and Shippers on the
 Alabama River:

Montgomery, Ala, March 2S. 19U3. To Our Customers and Shippers on the
 Alabama River:
 Owing to tn, extraordinary demands made upon thera, the steamers on the Alabama River have been unable to trar sport all of the fertilizers offered to them, and in consequence many disap- pointments and vexatious delays have arisen on account of the failure of con- signees to receive the fertilizer which they have ordered.
 We are pleased to announce that inso- far as we are concerned, we have effect ed an arrangement with the steamer City of Mobile for bringing a barge up to Montgomery, which will materially in- crease the carrying capacity of that boat. We have contracted with said steamer to carry down on her next trip (the coming week. all of our accumulated orders here, and what other orders may be sent in to us from shippers on the Alabama River.
 We beg of those friends and customers who. have already placed their orders with us, to be- patient until that time, and we further solicit additional orders from river shippers whose consignments will also reach them by the steamer City of Mobile next week.
 It may not be amiss to state that rail- road consigneers have. as rule. been forced to wait as long. or longer. for their expected consignments than river ship pers, which condition has been brought about by the extraordinary movement of merchandise of all kinds, and the con- sequentEcar sshortageF and congested traf- fic at central points. ''@- We are duly grateful and appreciative for the very liberal share of business which you have given us. and for the patience and forbearance you have dis played at this critical time.
 Yours truly,

 Co.,, for Alabama, Georgia, Missis-

SINGULAR PIurals.

/ A correspondent who keeps watch.
fth eye on our columns wants to know
what are the correct plurals of mon
goose" and phoenix" One is tempted
to write "mongeese" as one is tempted
60 write "Musselnen," though neither
man nor goose has any claim to con-
sideration in these words. "Mon-
Eoose" is quite fancy spelling. and
you may spell it munyon's or mon
Igous" or ''mungoos, as you will.
Therefore. we think "mongocse" Is
quite plural enough to cover all the
specimens that are likely to come UP
for christening. AS to the phoenix
its case may be dismissed with the
swiftness of a police court magistrate.
There is never more than one on the
active list at the same time, so the
phoenix does not require plural at
an.-London. Chronicle.
