SUMMERVILLE, CHATTOOGA COUNTY, GEORGIA, MAY 19, 1897.
CUBAN AND
SPANIARD.
The War Is Not Over Yet
By Long Odds==The
Rebels Winning.
The town of Amarillas, Matan
zas province, according to Havana
advices, was raided by a Cuban
guerrilla force last week and the
' Spanish garrison captured. The
Cubans looted the stores, burned
the block house there, and after
remaining two days at the place
loft, taking with them all the uni
forms of the Spanish soldiers, re
leasing them on promise not to
fight during the present war.
The town of Alquiza, in Havana
province, was raided this week
while a train was at the station.
A band of 300 insurgents rode up
and surrounded the train and com
pelled the passengers and about
100 soldiers in the train to line up
at the side of the track. The Span
ish troops, seeing the number of
Cubans, would not venture to fire,
and the Cuban commander sarcas
tically commended the officers in
charge for their forethought.
None of the civilians on the train
were disturbed, but all the Spanish
soldiers were searched and their
arms taken from them, much to
their chagrin.
A band of Cubans under Delga
do encompassed Havana Saturday
and Sunday, firing at the outposts.
Sunday night the firing was heavy
for over an hour.
The Cubans ire making frequent
dashes around the outposts with
their cavalry, and every morning
from ten to twenty-five wounded
Spanish soldiers are taken into the
city hospitals
According to the newspapers, an
Ohio husband became the happy
father of seven children not long
ago. Os the seven all lived but
one. It is to be hoped he laid in a
supply of Chamberlain’s Cough
Remedy, the only cure for croup
whooping-cough, colds and coughs,
and so insured his children against
these diseases- For sale by H. H.
Arrington.
E. B. Latham, an Atlantian, who
is now in the employ of the gov
ernment coast survey, and was for
merly in the employ of City Engin
eer Clayton, is now in Atlanta, pre
paring to join a party in Philadel
phia within the next few days, who
will attempt to ascend to the top
of Mount St Elias, in Alaska 18,-
000 feet high, one of the highest
peaks on this continent, the snow
covered crest of which has never
been trod by the foot of man.
A Question.
The publisher of a newspaper
has one thing to rent and one thing
to sell. He has the newspaper to
sell and the space in his columns
to rent. Can anyone inform us
why he should be expected to give
away either the one or the other?
He can do as he chooses, and he
does, as a matter of fact, furnish a
great deal of space rent free. But
it does not follow that he ought to
be expected to do so.
It ought to be recognized as a
contribution, exactly as would be
the giving away of sugar or coffee
by a grocer. But, strange to say,
it is not looked at in that light at
all, and yet everybody knows that
i the existence of a newspaper de
pends upon the rent of its space
and the sale of the paper, as a mer
chant’s success depends on selling
his goods instead of giving them
away. —Copy Hook,
“It is the Best on Earth.”
That is what Edwards & Parker,
i merchants of Plains, Ga., say of
' Chamberlain’s Pain Balm, for
I rheumatism, lame back, deep seat
led and muscular pains. Sold by H.

RODE FOR HIS LIFE-
Gen. Weyler Reported to Have
Had a Narrow Escape.
Key West, Fla., May 12.—Gen.
Weyler is reported to have had a
narrow escape in the western part
of the island recently. When leav
ing San Juan with a smaller escort
than usual a Cuban detachment of
cavalry attacked him and his es
cort, and nothing but their fleet
horses saved them. It is stated
that Weyler had half an hour’s
ride for his life, and that he was
chagrined over it.
Several trains were dynamited
in the western part of Matanzas
province and in Santa Clara last
week, destroying several engines
and cars and inflicting considera
ble loss to the Spanish train ser
vice, which has been entirely dis
continued on some of the branch
lines, as the railroad companies
would not take the risk of running
trains, as they know that they will
be blown up and destroyed.
Condensed Testimony,
Chas. B, Hood, broker and man
ufacturer’s agent, Columbus, Ohio,
certifies that Dr. King’s New Dis
covery has no equal as a Cough
remedy. J. D. Brown Prop. St.
James hotel, Ft. Wayne, Ind., tes
tifies that he was cured of a cough
of two years standing, caused by
lagrippe, by Dr. King’s New Dis
covery. B. F. Merrill, Baldwins
ville, Mass., says he has used ana
recommended it and never knew
it to fail and would rather have
it than any doctor, because it al
ways cures. Mrs, Hemming, 222
E. 25th St., Chicago always keeps
it at hand and has no fear of croup
because it instantly relieves. Free

Drug Store.
She was newly married and did
not know a little bit about house
keeping, and she was giving her
first week’s order. It was a crush
er, but the grocer was a clever man,
and was use to all kinds of orders,
and could interpret them easily.
“I want ten pounds of paralyzed
sugar,” she began with a business
like air.
“Yes’m. Anything else?”
“Two cans of condemned miik.”
“Anything more ma’am?”
“A bag of fresh salt —be sure it’s
fresh.”
“Yes’m. What next?”
“A pound of desecrated codfish.”
“Nothing more, ma’am? We
have some nice horse-radish just
in.”
“No,” she said. “It would be no
use; we don’t keep a horse.”
Then the grocer sat down and
fanned himself with a patent wash
board.

NEW TELEPHONE LINE.
Mr, P. M. Storey Has Construct
ed One From Kartah to Rome.
Rome has a new long distance tele
phone line.
It is a private enterprise, owned,
constructed and operated by merchant
P. M. Storey of Kartah, in a thriving
little city of about one hundred peo
ple, and Mr. Story built the line for his
own convenience, and the public. Tid
ings and a number of other places are
connected with the line, and it prom
ises to be very popular.
The ’phone at this end is located in
Curry’s drug store, where those so de
siring may talk to Mr. Storey or others
at a nominal cost.
The work of putting up the twenty
two miles of lines and placing the
’phones was done under the direction
of Charles Gillam.
The enterprise of Mr. Storey will no
doubt pay him, handsomely, as it
should do.—Tribune.
The most remarkable dinner ever
served is the one recently given by
an old antiquary named Goebel, in
the city of Brussells. A description
of the meal is furnished to the Bos
ton Cooking School Magazines by
one of the giiests, Mr. Amaziah
Dukes, of New York. Says the
New Yorker; “At that dinner I
ate apples that ripened more than
eighteen hundred years ago; bread
made from wheat grown before the
children of Israel passed through
the Red sea and spread with butter
that was made when Elizabeth was
queen of England ; and I washed
down the repast with wine that
was old when Columbus was play
ing barefoot with the boys of Ge
noa. The apples wore from an
eastern jar taken from the ruins
of Pompeii. The wheat was taken
from a chamber in one of the pyr
amids, the butter from a stone
shell in an old well in Scotland,
where for several centuries it has
lain in an earthen crock in icy wa
ter, and the wine was recovered
from an old vault in the city of
Corinth. There were six guests at
the table, and each had a mouth
ful of the bread and a teaspoon of
the wine, but was permitted to help
himself bountifully to the butter,
there being several pounds of it
The appele jar held about two
thirds of a gallon. The fruit was
sweet and finely flavored as if it
had been put up yesterday.”
„It was this way, Judge. You
see, I deled the cards, and Jim
Brown he had a pah of aces and a
pah o’ kings.”
“What did you have?”
“Three aces, jedge, and ”
“What did Jim do?”
“Jim, he drew.”
“What did he draw?”
“He drew a razah,, jedge.”
Mistress—Did you ask for milk
bread?
Domestic—Yes, mum.
“What a miserable little loaf
they gave youI”
“Yes, mum, it’s my opinion,
mum, that that baker is usin’con
dinsed milk.”
