The Weekly Messenger to Be Issued In Two Editions The Semi-Weekly tp Be Sent to Subscribers at the Old Price of One Dollar Per Annum On or about March 1st, the Weekly Messenger will be converted into a twice a week or semi-weekly paper. This step has been taken, principally wnn a view to giving our weeKiy reaa ers the news earlier than they hare heretofore been - receiving it. This change will involve considerable ex pense upon The Messenger, as it Is not proposed to increase the present price of $1.00 per year for the paper. - The Messenger realizes that news is news when fresh, and to hold tne news for a week, it is sometimes not news when sent out. By the change, the subscribers of the weekly will receive two papers of 8 pages each, or 96 columns, for the present price of $1.00 per year. It is reasonably hoped that this change, will be beneficial and that the now large subscription list of the weekly will be materially increased. This will make the Weekly Messen ger one of the best (as it Is now) ad vertising mediums In this section. This is an age of progress, and The Messenger never follows but Is always In the lead, J ' When Joaquin Miller was in Seattle recently, a man' stopped him in street, and, lifting up his beard and examning his neck, remarked: "Tea. you are Joaquin Miller."

There were lively fluctuations In the cotton market today, although the volume of transac tions was not great. Liverpool cables reported a decline of 3-64d In that market, and our opening was 4 to 5 points - lower ' than last, night's close. Heavy purchases by prominent com mission houses steadied the market after the call and when New Orleans, a short time later, sent large buying rders here, there was a quick recov ery, but when these orders had been filled the market eased again and, aided by vigorous '. short selling, the advance melted away. .- May opened at 6.86, advanced to 6.93, declined to 6.87 and closed at 6.88 to 6.89, with the tone of the market steady. Tomorrow being a legal holiday in this state, the exchange will be closed for the- day. RIORDAN & CO. (By Southern Rress.) New York, February 1L The Sun's cotton review says: Spot cotton here was unchanged, with sales of 200 bales for export and 585 for spinning. The trading today was quiet and devoid of Interesting developments. The spec ulation was almost wholly - local, and the fluctuations in prices were con fined within a narrow range. At the opening prices declined slightly In sympathy with the weakness in Liv erpool. The loss was soon recovered, however, gmd a small advance ensued on Fall River advices stating that print cloths had sold as high as 2 cents and that 2 11-16 cents was bid. But the buying power was soon ex hausted, and on renewed liquidation prices slowly receded. The receipts at the porta were light, and the total for the week Is expected tofall below early .estimates. Private Manchester advices" were favorable, but owing to the ab sence of buyers prices here weakened. - The Record is unequivocally opposed to the hap-hazard half-way business of the .present supervision of the pub lic schools. We do not say that the county commissioners will not and do not do all they can, but they have enough to do .besides the school busi ness, and under the present law it holds secondary place to other matters. This should be remedied at once by having a special board whose sole business will be school matters and nothing else, and there should bea competent county or district superintendent in every county or district in. he state. No business will prosper unless it-is Intelligently and systematically managed. The pub lic schools cannot reeelve the Intelli gent and systematic attention Its great paramount Importance demands under the present law. Warren ton Record.
