Spring, that uuost beautiful Aeasoa of our S.uuuy Southland is almost upon am*. To those of us urho have safely weathered the storms of the hardest winter we have experienced fo.i years, we extend congratulations. To those also . who have been enabled to buy wood and cloth ing we also extend our hand. For our part, while the Al mighty, in his wisdom, has been pleased to send t his Winter upon us, aud w<e do not repine, we trust that we will see no more ?uch Winters. The awful cost in wood ulone would almost bankrupt a millionure, and while wo do not conduct a palacial establishment, it litis drawn us olose to the danger line. We are now in communication with a millionure publisher how ever, with a view to enlarging And improving The People, so if we make the deal with him, we will be in position tokeop things warm for our people next Win 'ter, even if it proves to be as in clement as this. As matters now stand, our / farmers are at least a month be hind in their work. Naturally, this fact should affect the price 4>f cotV>n. Has it done so, or will it riosq? No, and why? ltecauso in the light of past events the Southern f.nmer is notorious for plant hit principally cotton, with an incomparably small comparugo of acreage of corn, peas, pota toes, whoat and grass lands. Oar people must get out of that habit. <CoM4dwii to ii. uti ??rld^t joq ?m agtt^i ?l9fV< J?sn 'set you art?uow ^*doWitfto. we hole ititirr *Vou cm do the and if you entertain aavti or4aSp>ff.tipna for the tntfijfm of y9ur, posVfri^r you tbU. . .???

After 8 strongly contested periods, the victory was wrerted from the valorous Blues by the redoubtable Reds.
