The supreme court judges oj
Pennsylvania, will appear in court
in judical gowns on and after next
Monday, and Pennsylvanians are

show a marked improvement in

toward the southwestern slates
that must in the near future be of
great political and industrial ad¬
vantage. The South is the fair
cst part of our heritage.
Tlio prohibitionists of Atlanta
appear to bo getting ready f<»r
another election next fall. It is

dictates.” Several of tlio leading
prohibitionists are opposed to an¬
other agitation until 1802, but
• some kind of an election will prob¬
ably be held next Kovember.

to several Nortluinflates,convin¬
ced that there is a large percen¬
tage of hypocrisy and cant in tin*
