An exodus of thousands from

The annihilation of Cervera’s
fleet without serious damage to
any of our vessels and with the
loss of only one man, was even
more remarkable than Dewey’s
great victory at Manila, ns the
Spanish force at Santiago was far
more powerful than that at Manila.
Shatter is evidently a soldier
able to see the short cuts among
the most tangled complications
and with the energy to force his
army through. The sound of his
guns should bring Spain to her
senses, for whether victorious or
not at first, such energy will forge
ahead to the victorious
adelphia Inquirer.

The U. 8. cruiser Charleston,
that left Ban Francisco in convoy
of transports with troops for Dew¬
ey’s re-enforcement at Manila, was
not in such a burry that the com¬
manded did not have time to go by
the Ladrono islands and
them in, capturing the Governor
General and his staff and 52 sol
diers prisoners of war carrying
them to Manila. The Governor
had not yet heard of the war with
Spain aud was indignant or being
ordered to surrender-but on
threat of bombardment of the city,
the capital, he wisely gave himself
up. This government is now busy
in the land-grabbing business and

simply annihilation. The god of

in the most horrible manner and

tyrdom.—Boston Herald.

and rendering me unfit for my du¬
ties at this hotel. About two years
ago a traveling salesman kindly
gave me a small bottle of Cham¬
berlain’s Colic, Cholera and Diar¬
rhoea Remedy. Mucli to my sur¬
prise and delight its effects were
immediate. Whenever I feltsymp
toms of the disease I would fortify
myself against the attack with a

from the affliction.” For sale by

WAR NEWS SUMMARY
FOR THE WEEK.
The war news this week has
been so volumuious, startling and
sensational that it would be im¬
possible to give more than a mere
or synopsis of the events
aud happenings.
Last Sunday morning, the Span¬
ish squadron in Santiago harbor,
commanded by Admiral Cervera,
was totally destroyed by the com¬
bined fleets of Sampson and Schley,
Commodore Schley directing the
attack, as Admiral Sampson was
seven miles away on the coast at
the time of the fighting.
Cervera had been ordered to
leave Santiago harbor by Gen.
BJGenoral of all the
Spanish troops in Cm'
cabled, “I obey orders buli¬
my doom.” His fleet made a bold
dash out of the harbor at 9 a. in.,
Sunday. The American fleet quick¬
ly saw the movement and waited
until the Spanish fleet was out of
the range of Morro castle, then it
gave chase and began the attack.
It was a running fight, and in
three hours tho Spanish vessels
were all destroyed, burning or
beached along the coast for a dis¬
tance of sixty miles. The last
vessel captured was the Christobal
Colon,* tho flagship of Admiral
Cervera. About 1200 Spaniards
were killed and drowned and 1300
captured, including Admiral Cer¬
vera and many officers. Cervera
said when taken, “1 hud rather
have my vessels destroyed in 1 tat¬
tle at sea than have to surrender
m harbor.”
The Spanish officers are being
carried to Boston, the marines will
probably bo brought to Atlanta or
Fortress Monroe. This was, if
possible, a greater victory than
Dewey’s at Manila on May 1, be¬
cause this was a stronger squad¬
ron, with two or three first-class
armored cruisers, armed with mod¬
ern and improved guns, and it was
a running fight with a chance to
escape to the open sea. It was the
second great naval battle of mod¬
ern times.

Elder Page of Irena had a family re¬

The New York correspondence of
The Lumpkin Independent is interest¬
ing and instructive-well worth the
space that It occupies. Readers of The
Independent who carelessly fail to pe¬
ruse it miss a treat.
In writing up the industries of Oma¬
ha last, week the editor of Tlie Lump¬
kin Independent cruelly omitted to
state that Omaha is the headquarters
of the Hopper and that here, same as
Judge Fitz’s mill, does its grindin’.
And now dear comrades in conse¬

but everywhere else where the Lost

A few days ago Mrs. Patterson of
Union was stricken suddenly very ill.
You couldn’t get her to believe but
that she was goin’ to die right then
and there. So strong was her belief
that she would die that she picked out
the spot where she desired to be buried.
"VVe are glad to state that she was dis¬
appointed in her expectations and will
soon be back in point of health from
whence she started. A congestive chill
was tiie cause of her sudden illness.
On Wednesday morning last about
11 o’clock the homestead of Woodland
near Union came very near being
burnt out lock stock and barrel in
this wise: one of the little grandsons
-Grady, having seen his grandma
make hens’ nests and put ashes in them
to keep out tlie mites, made a nest in
an adjoining building to the dwelling
and went in the kitchen for ashes. The
ashes were mixed with live or burning
coals but Grady applied them to the
nest nevertheless. The straw in the
nest was-damp and it took a long time
to ignite it. When discovered (which
was a mere accident I smoke was issu¬
ing from the door and the box in the
corner containing the nest in a light
blaze.
In ruminatin’ over the past we have
a desire to spend a day in the vicinity
of Providence (now Humber), we want
to visit the grounds where we rompped
a school boy and where the paddle

tiie tune of “town hall”. We also want
to visit the old battle ground a few
miles south of Humber where one of
the most desperate skirmishes took
place during the war with the Reds in
183ti. We want to rest awhile in tile
cool shade of the ancient oaks that
still stand sentinel by the old Tan
Yard. On tlie trip we want one along
that has been along there before as
well as ourself—one who can take in
the situation at a glimpse—a real sym¬
pathizer- one who has heard the
thunder rollover those hills many a
time. He must be a man that is versed
ill tlie language of flowers, at least he
must know tlie emblem of the Arborvi
tae to pass as competent. He must al
so be an old time school male of ours
well versed in “town ball” and
'possum huntin'. He must remember
exactly liow many possums “Rock”
treed that night we went pos-um hun¬
tin’. Were we to visit that section
without such a character along as

TO THE FARMERS
On the ist of August next
I will change my “base of op¬
erations” from the brick ware¬
house on the corner of the
public square to the wooden
building owned by W. A.
Moreland, and to be known
hereafter as the Farmers Ware
house. I simply make this an¬
nouncement to notify those
who have SO liberally patron
ized me in the past and those
who may favor me with their
patronage in the future, to let
them know where my place of
business is. The change will
not effect the price of your
ertton at all; I will either buy
or sell you cotton at your op¬
tion; will try to keep posted in
the fluctuations of the market.
Will rrake liberal advances
on cotton in store and only
charge same Jates as I have to
pay. I will renew my offer on
best bales of cotton.
After the cotton season is
over I will turn my attention
again to the guano business,
and will only handle best
grades of goods. I am also
agent for the world-renowned
McCormick Harvesting Ma¬
chinery, which I will sell you
on liberal terms.
All I ask of you is to give me
a trial; I am playing a “lone
hand”; my motto will be in the
future, as in the past, “live and
let live.”
In conclusion allow me to
thank those who have so lib¬
erally patronized me in the
past, and I respectfully solicit
a continuation of the same.
Yours truly,
W. H. TONDEE.
