TO HAVE NEW QUARTERS.
For several months The Moni
tor has had under'.course of con
stmotion a magnificent new office
building—possibly tit*- best in this
section of the state —built es
pecially for the needs of a modern
printing office. The finishing
touches are being put on t he build
ing, and this week we I ogin mov
ing in; however, it will be several
weeks before we have everything
properly adjusted for work, and
during this time we ask that our
patrons bear with us. Moving
printing material and machinery
is a tedious and slow task, mid
while we trust that every-citizon
in the county will be interested
in the new building, we trust that
we may not be censured for any
neglect in business until we art
fully quartered in the now office.
Another fact, too, which \ve
trust will Ik- kept, in tile minds of
our patrons, is the tremendous
outlay necessary to secure the
plant we will soon have in opera
tion. W'b have labored long lor
the upbuilding of our business
ami the welfare of the people of
Montgomery county, and will
appreciate the continued support
of the good people of the eoflnty 7 .
If you are indebted to this busi
ness, and several hundred are, we
ask that the little amounts be
handed in as early as possible.
Come in by and by and see the
new office.

THE MANUFACTURERS' RECORD
ON THE BUSINESS OUTLOOK
“A thing well begun is already
half done” may be accepted as to]
tin-present crop prospectsof the |
country. Taking the whole conn-j
try, from the Atlantic to the Pa
cific, from the lakes to the gulf,
the crops were put into the
ground under more favorable con
ditions of weather and of cultiva
tion than ever before. An abui.li
mit. supply of labor title to indus
trial depression made it possible;
to thoroughly prepare the soil !
for planting anil to thoroughly
cultivat.e it. since.
‘‘With tlie exception of limited 1
areas weather conditions have]
been remarkably favorable, and
as a whole I lie outlook indicates
tin- most abundant yield which
our land has ever known. The
fruit trees everywhere an- break
ing beneath their toadßlie wheat
and corn nod oat crops promise!
to he equal to the largest eve 1
gathered or if they fall short at
all, only to the extent of a few
million bushels, while through-]
out the south tin- cotton and corn
are held in splendid condition. |
freer from grass than for ninny j
years, and Ihe sugar plantations
of Louisiana indicate an excep
tionally favorable outturn in*
compared with last year.
“Everywhere the song of pros
porit v is heard in the agriciiltti 1
regions, and once more, with i i
work well begun, the farmer lias
already much more than hall
passed the danger point, and can
now almost, with safety count on a
continuation of the splendid pros
perity of the last four or five
years.
“Under such conditions, and
with reviving industrial activity,
evidences of which nr*; seen in
many directions, the time is near
at hand when every idle car will
tie in demand, and when once
again there will tie a scramble for
trans|iortatioii facilities greater
than has been the scramble ol the
railroads for freight during tin
last six months We have turned
the corner, and ahead ot us is the
long si might road of business
prosperity.”
