I BEST QRADES i OF COMMERCIAL | STATIONERY. | »?«•#* »«#>«#» VOL. XXIII. 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.

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.” Hustle for your home town.
