TELEPHONE NO. 44.— Entered at the Post office at Abbeville, Oa., as second-class matter. TIIlJItSDAY, JULY 28. 1898. Spain is begging for peace. Santiago being forced to surren der Porto Rico will follow suit. It is estimated that 100,000 peo ple attended the reunion in last week. Hus years clean up around Raw son, in the Klondike, will amount $ 20 , 000 , 000 . It is reported that Miss Schley, cousin of Commodore Schley, been ordered to leave Spain im mediately. It is reported that Gen. landed at Porto Rico with but resistance. His army killing Spaniards and suffered no losses all. The people arc getting accustomed to licking Revenue stamps, and the Spaniards are getting accustomed receiving a licking, the former may last for some time, but Spanish hon or eoimot endure the latter much longer. The Confederate reunion auditori ii in al Piedmont ’’ark in Atlanta was Struck by lightning last Saturday afternoon, during a tenilfic thunder et irm, and but for the heroic work os the watchman, Mr. J. N Farmer, tin qq Confederate veteran, the building would have been destroyed. The pay master left New York Tuesday for Santiago, they will be gin the payment of troops on their arrival, and in a very short while -will be joined by other pay masters who will assist in paying off General Shaftor’s army they will then pro ceed to Porto Rico to pay off the army under Gen. Miles. The total number of men killed, xvoumU'd and missing, since Hie army landed in Culm, about four weeks ago, are 1.914 The killed number ing 24<i, wounded 1,584, of the wounded only 08 have died, accord ing to Col. Pope, the surgeon-in chief, this is a remarkable small num ber of fatalities considering the large number of wounded. Why is it our people do not take more to fruit raising, it lias been already demonstrated that peaches can be grown in Wilcox county as successfully and with as much profit as in any section of the State. Hence uv should appreciate the special advantages offered here and enter fully into the fruit business. Several of our farmers have already put out large orchards and many more should do so.

Receiver. tea,, 7 - IS 189S. The Georgia Editors At Newnan, Washington, Asheville, New York and Other Points. The twelfth annual reunion of the Georgia Weekly Press Association convened at Newnan at the appoint ed time, at 10 a. in. on the 13th instant, with about 175 members in attendance. At the appointed hour the opera house was thrown open and was soon filled to overflowing with delegates and the good people of Newnan, both ladies and gentlemen. The house was called to order by presi dent W S Coleman, whereupon lion. .J S Powell, mayor of Newnan, arose and delivered the keys of the city to the visitors. Then Mr. Edgar T Whatley delivered an address of welcome in his easy and eloquent style in which he cited Newnan as the richest per capita city in the State. He proposed to turn over everything in the city to the associ ation except Newnan’s fair daugh ters. The address was responded to by lion, llobt. 1. Moye, ot 1 lie Cuth iicrt. Liberal Enterprise. Mr. Moye said that after a year subsisting on hog and hominy, blackberries, pos sum and ’taters the average weekly editor was quite prepared to avail himself of a large per cent, of the city's per capita of wealth. In his humorous way he referred to that part of Mr. Whatley's address which mentioned the ladies, as absurd, that he had known “Whatley” for forty years and he had not even a fair damsel of his own to control and that lie assumed too much when lie offered to control all the beauty of Ne will'll. (Mr. Whatley is a bachelor.) The business session was one of much interest. The office of Cor responding Secretary was aoolished, and the duties of that office will de volve upon the president. Mr. P T McKutcheoa lias been efficiently filling that office for a number of years. The Chronicle’s representative was entertained at the Pinson House in a royal manner. Quite a number of delegates were entertained here, among them was Mrs. Maria Louise Mv.ick, editor of Americas Timcs Recorder. Mrs. Myrick is one of Georgia’s pets and is the life of everything whereever she goes. After the business was concluded through the courtesy of Atlanta and West Point railroad the vis’tovs and citizens of Newnan departed on cars for Pearl Spring Park, a distance of three miles, where genuine old time Georgia barbecue was served. The writer will never forget (his sight. Meats of all kinds were spread upon tables prepared for the occasion and it is needless to say the editor did ample justice to himself and the barbecue. On the morning of the 14th, at the request of the building commit tee, we visited Newnans new baptist chuicli. This structure is built en tirely of Georgia marble at a cost of *30,00b and is one of the handsom est structures in the state. Then we were conducted through (he shops of the It P Cole Manu facturing Company. The Coles, while they manufacture grist mills, gins and other things make a special ty of engines and boilers and theirs are superior to most others. Their plant is the largest in the state and lias long been established. To them is due largely the erection of the marble church and other prominent institutions of I he city. We some how regretted to leave Newnan as it was made so homelike to us, imt at 3:00 o'clock p. m. we bill our kind liostes and the many Newnamtes, who had made it so pleasant for us, adieu and took the train for Atlanta where we departed in a bod)' for Chattanooga and Washington. Our party reached Chattanooga in time to visit Chickamauga Park, and Lookout MouiPam before night. Our cars were so crowded that 27 of the party got no berths, the Chron icle's representative was one of the 27, but we attained comfortable quarters at the hotel till 3:00 o’clock the next morning when -‘extra' ! an from Cincinnati reached us and took j | il:- saieh .... lo Washington. .

Salisburg N C, Lynchburg Va, Char lottsville and Ashville N C, arriving at Washington near the middle of the day. Among the places visited at Wash ington were. The capitol, Pension Ruilding, New Congressional Library, White House, Smithsonian and Na tional institute, Treasury lluilding, Washington’s Monument and the Navy Yard. Of all the places to make an American citizen feel proud safe and secure it is the Navy Yard. There you can see them making the largest guns used on both land and sea. Among some of the guns were the 13-inch guns the largest made. One of them will .weigh 100 tons, it cost the government $80,000 to build one and cost $10,000 every time it is shot. The test of one of these gens 20.000 yards the ball passed through 18 inches of the best steel 5 feet of oak wood and hurried itself 54 feet in the sand. It is no wonder that Dewey and Schley could annihilate the antiquated Spanish snips so easily. Last but not least to be seen wee the old homes of George Washing ton and ltobt. E Lee at old Mt. Ver non and Arlington. We visited the home of Lee first. The grounds surrounding this old home are now being used for a National cemetery. It is kept up by the government and no pains are spared to keep it in good condition and preserve its origi nal condition as far as possible. Rut to old Mt. Vernon overlooking the Potomac, the home of George Washington. This old home is kept up by a benevolent society, and its originality is preserved. There you see the trees set out by Washington himself, his deer park, ins flower garden, his old farm chairs, his sitting room and his li brary, his carriage, his old well with the old oaken bucket, his beautiful walks, his family hurrying ground and bis grave. It is useless to un dertake a description further there is not enough space in the entire paper to tell half of what I saw and felt around this old home. (Continued in next issue.) Copy for change of “ad” must be in tiio office not later than Tuesday morning to insure insertion. If you have fiiends visiting you call up telephone 44 and tell us about it.
