Sully Made $5,OOO,O0O.
1t Is Said That He Retires From
the Market With That
Amount of Profits.
Special to The Observer

Opeclal 10 Inc Observer
New York, April Is.
position Of Daniel j. Sully in the
cotton market is a matter of much
speculation in Wall street circles.
The general belief is that Sully is
not only willing but anxious to
get out of the market. He is
willing to be satisfied with his
present profit, which is estimated
at S5, 100000 for himself and his
small army of followers. The
report is that Sully has settled
with a number of shorts outside
of tho market. There is no doubt
that the recent sharp rise IN cot
ton came much sooner than Sully
expected. This is assigned as the
reason for his desire to get out of
the market.
Snlly's personal profits as a
result of his strong bull move,
ment are said. to be very large.
Spectators have their eyes on
him and no doubt his action in
either retiring or staying in will
be an important factor in the deal
lngs.

BAPTIST Association Board

Four Of the members OF the

as per cali of Rev A. Il. Baten,
al the Baptist church in ANA
rlllo, last tuesday, and owing to
the non tie ndance oflhe greater
portion of the Board, little bust.
ness was transacted. Bro. }. W.
Whatley was there representing
the Canadian college PROPOSE
ton and while nothing was
done by this meeting in refer
ence to it, It was pretty gener
ally believed that it would
again come up before the Board,
aud possibly at the meeting
which was set for the 10Th inst.
From what we could CLEAN Of
the proceedings, it was recog.
nized tact to those present that
the college commission, was,
like all other bodies of men, BY
no means infallible, hence
feeling that some mistake might
have been made in it ever
having entertained the PROPOSE
ton was manifested. The wise
man is one who, when he dis
covers himself in error, is not
afraid to confess it. Bro. j. r.
Bell, of Quanah, was appointed
general missionary for the asso-
citation. AZ near as we could
learn this was about the sub
stance of the proceedings, the
body agreeing that it did not
have a quorum 10 transact the
more important work before the
board. As stated before, it
meets again the 10th of this
month.

|IURRAH FOR CANYON CITY,!

There is a weak type of citi-
zen in Canyon City, such as may
be found in every city, which re.
suits universally in an obstacle
to the popular union that de-
lights in advancement. This type
comprises only Il small percen
tage of the population, but the
spread of detraction is so easy
that injury to the town often
times exceeds the author 5
natural power and influence.
This citizen thinks that a town
which can rise on its own merits
and defeat 5 couteSting towns
for the site Of Baptist college,
plan public improvements for
the early future which will
cost several thousand dollars,
and little town which is pros.
porous and progressive enough
to maintain a Board of Trade,
is city. that has no viriIity and
ambition. This cadaverous
creature, who is nothing more
than a vulture-though he terms
himself i bald. beaded eagle
has never-the, lo SIS by his blood
sucking propensities reaped a
rich harvest from the vitaIs of
this same little city, and instead
OF eXerting every effort for its
advdncement-he is 4 "knock-
er." / he more progressive ele-
ment of the town however has
just about completed the Job of
labelling these carcasses tor the
nearest undertaken.
Had Benedict Arnold surmised
that the Revolutionary war
would have terminated in favor
of the thirteen United States, he
probably would not have gone
over to the enemy. So his local
imitatOr may be surprised.
The town amounts to much, all
right. pretty much, indeed-and
its going ahead rapidly and
surely. There's nothing wrong
with the town, although there
may be something wrong in the
town. That something wrong
is not the force which is i'm
proving Canyon City and telling
the world what fine little town
this really is: it is another force
which is too mOrose to feel the
ardor OF progress. The "knock-
er" does not show his face these
busy days.
