the pitcher. Neither will I guarantee
to do any hot-footing over the dia-

TREMENDOUS PROSPERITY.
Commercial Travellers Say That Condi.
tons Could Not be Better,

Business conditions out over the
country could not be better, according
to commercial travellers who arrived
in Norfolk to spend Sunday. The
abundant harvests, the plentiful money
and the high prices on all commodities
have tended to put things in an ideal
condition, they say.
Things simply could not be BETTER"
said Ben Reid who has returned from
an extended trip out through the north
west, People do not realize what a
high tide of prosperity we are enjoy
ing. Commodities in all lines are at
the top notch, working men are receiv-
ing high wages and the crops are ire
mendous, 1t has never been better"
