Walker l. Eichleberger have sold
out their grocery business TO Mr. Leon
Weinberg who proposes to load up ms
store with the choicest of groceries,
and run a first class grocery store. Mr..
Weinberg has been doing a brokerage
business. and on his list he has some OF
the largest concerns in the country.
| This riyes him an excellent advantage
in the wav of buying. He will continue
the business in the Walker s; Eichle-
berger stand and his friends will be
gladly welcomed.
For the past week great congrega-
tions have been held spell bound by
the grand oratory and earnest and
forceful arguments OF Rev. l.. A.
Cooper the evangelist. Those whose
good fortune it is to hear him come
away impressed with the mans won,
derful ability for reaching the mind
and heart, not only with his forceIui
argument but with the melody OF ms
singing. He is doing good WORK ana
it is not confined to the Baptist denom-
ination either, for all denominations
and creeds are attending ana an 1eel
the good this servant OF Goa IS ooinS.
IT'S a pity that men who are moral
scabs can fool people into oehevlng
what they say, yet it IS sad truVn tnat
thev can. We know OF an instance
where a man, whose character IS as
black as midnight, has, for political e1-
feet. spread the most slanderous re-
ports. but did it in such nasty, coward
" manner that he cannot be held &C
countable. This man would, to further
a purpose, swear to q lie, or do any
thing low and mean. He obtained the
listening ear of some, and his vlperous
sting made its mark, to the extent OF a
loss Of number of votes in Tuesdays
election.
The first primary is over and the list
of candidates has been cut down which
makes the choice easier to make. Our
advice to the voters is to drive away
the Shiny human snakes that are worm
inc their way around the country seek
inc to persuade voters for some one VINO
is paving them for their services. IL
is q safe rule to Judge man by, wnen
YOU see fellow riding over the coun-
try whispering SANDERS you. can put
him down as q scoundrel in the pay OF
some other scoundrel. If a man comes
to ovou with tale about a candloate
whom YOU have known all your lie, ask
him the cause of his newborn SANDER.
No gentleman will voluntarily ride
about the country conveying damaging
reports, is another safe rule to guloe
your Judgment, and whenever man IS
found riding about the country with q
damaging report on candidate, set
your dogs upon him, II you are no1
afraid he will ruin the dogs.
We are frequently asked our opinion
about the price OF cotton this season.
and of course, we cannot tell any more
about it than any other observer OF
such things, but we will hazard the
opinion that cotton will bring as much
or more this year as it did last. Iexas
is reported to be having a very large
cotton yield, but the South Atlantic
States will be short. The general crop
will not excel that OF last year, and the
demand for raw material by the manu-
facturers will be greater. The reason
is clear: The manufacturers on account
of the long hold out against high prices
let their stocks run low, and at the
same time kept their mills running.
The consequence is they have less
raw ma teriai, and if cotton
is not n ar Ike tie d too fast 1t will
ind the manufacturers going out to-
look for the cotton and in such 9 case
they will pay full price for it. We are
convinced that the cotton situation
rests upon the good judgment OF the
farmer and his local merchants, and
with q mutual confidence in each other
we see no reason for any misgavlngs
about the price.
