ADVERTISING IS THE LIFE OF TRADE.===WHY DON’T YOU TRY IT, AND SEE? 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.

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.

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.

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.” NO. 11
