PLOWDEN, EDITOR & AGENT,) Here it is, another week has gone and we have not had a good rain yet. We had enough to lay' the dust last Sunday afternoon. Charles Williams was here Monday and Tuesday talking for Berner, I hope his talk will not be in vain for Berner is the man. Mr. John Futch has been here two or three times in the last week “lee* tionering.” If he don’t get there it will not be because he did not try. In the meantime Sheriff Davis is not sleeping. Mr. and Mrs, T. E. Plowden spent part of last week here with fronds. Gome again, we are always glad to see you. P; B Addison went over to Whit— ney Monday afternoon to carry a Mrs Rosser, vvheie she will visit for a while. Our clever Monitor man was shak# j n g bands with friends hero Saturday. Mr ' Thomas is doing all in his power to m “ ke tbe Monitor a success. He says he contemplates giving .his paper a “new dress’’ and add an tip to-date job outfit at- an early' date. Wonder if his paper’s “new dress” will be a wedding dress? Wonder why it is that when some-- body goes down to Mr Keel’s after milk shakes they do not have to pay for them. I guess it is because Mr. g a Kee j j s s „ ch a k j nd hearted fellow to girls that he likes so well, When 1 go I think ho charges me for those he gives away as well as those I buy. You are not in the push uuless you have your moustache shaved off. I have had mine cut off is tho reason my friends are so slow about recog¬ nising me, Mrs. Emilia Davis, accompanied by Miss Florence Bunch, left for tho former’s home Wednesday where the latter will spend the summer.

Wotider v.’ho' is going to have a long face next Sunday? The last report from Sampson was that nothing had been heard from him. Several fro u here went over to Morgan last Friday to hear our next governor speak. AD say that he made the grandest Speech ever heard In this section, Many . strong men who was in favor of one of his opponents heard Mr. Geniev arid were Converted. Mr. Berner is a fine Speaker and the same way he will bo a governor. It will not be very long before we will have a new ealiboose that will do great credit a much larger town.

On last Friday evening the young poo- pie of Deary, Morgan, Duck* , . and , . Wil- liamsburg united their efforts in a grand bail at the homo of Dr. F, P. Griffin. And, notwithstanding the extremely hot weather and cmmensely large crowd, owing to the warm and cordial reception cf the host and his generous and good- natured assistant, Mirg Lilian, the ing was rendered pleasant to all present. Dancing was good, the talking better, tho music was best of all. The latter wag at the disposition of Sir. w. F. Bray, the noted guitarist and harp player, and was executed superbly. About 13 o’clock the crowd dispersed-with great enthusiasm and an open manifestation of a pleasantly I spent evening.

STATE AND GENERAL NEWS More Volunteers. The president lias issued a proc¬ lamation calling for 75,000 more Volunteers. This will make the total army strength, regular and volunteers, 280,000. When the little Petrel, of Admiral Dewey’s squadron, says the .Savan¬ nah News, comes homo she ought to be put in a glass case to receive the admiring attentions of Americans. Sim is a little bit of a craft, and is rated in the naval lists as a gunboat', biit the reports show that she was in the thickest of the fight, and dfe- stro ed not loss than three of the enemy “with her own hands,” so to speak. After the white flag had been raised on the Cavite, not for the purpose of surrender, as the Spanish commander claimed, but iu order to gain time to remove, the wOttien and .children the Petrol bluffed the garrison with a threat to blow the whole neighborhood off tire face of the earth if American orders were tint obeyed Instantly. It is a pity that Congress cannot pads a sph- eial act promoting tho Petrel to bo a line-of-battle ship. uuteer When armies men of the into regular and they vol- J go action will wear around their necks little tags of aluminum by which they may 1 be identified if found lator on the field of battle. In the last war it was often impossible to properly identify tho dead soldiers, and thqus- atids were buried in graves marked “unidentified.” Tho War Depart¬ ment has prepared this system of identification, and it has been deck ded that on each tag shall be the numeral assigned each man on the muster rolls, with tho letter of ids company, battery or troop, and his regiment. These tags will bo sent to troops in the South when it is evident that a fight is on hand, In the civil war officers of somo of tho regiments had little silver shields in¬ scribed with the wearer’s name, rank and regiment. There was a time when Spain was . dreaded by all tho world. Several times sho made England tremble, and other powi rs sought to avoid a conflict with tho mighty Dons. Per¬ haps the most memorable seige in nil history was made by the Spaniards, A few years after England had taken Glbralta Spain attempted tp regain it and tho soige lasted for three years and seven moirihs. The as¬ saults were constant and fearful, but the heroic garrison repelled every attack, but finally Spain abandoned the effort to retake tho impregnable defense and retired after suffering great loss. Bqt Spain’s pristine glory has faded, her territory is being taken from her, and the day may come when that barbarous country will be bit without any land of its own This is the way the talented lady editress of tho Miller County Liberal looks at it: “A truly refined gentle¬ man should think too much of him¬ self ovon to pass off a few idle mo mentis with a man who know's not even the first principles of a gonHe- man, no matter how funny or enter¬ taining he may he.” In an exchange of a recent date wo read of a lady who lives in Ar- kansas and is 104 years old and has never been kissed. Wo have no j such women as that in Ihis section of the country. Married, At the residence of the bride’s parents’ home, Mr. and Mrs. J. J. Ragan, near Morgan, last Wednes¬ day afternoon at 4 o’clock, Mr. C. s. Sanders to Miss Stella.E. Ragan, Mr. E. .1, Bass officiating. We tender congratulations. Bam Jones says that marriage is becoming a merchandise, clubs aro substituted for Iioinca, wives arc fast becoming society ladies, children are unavoidable nuisances) and destruc¬ tion bf lift) a habit. The few 'chil¬ dren who enter the home are given to milk bottles and nurses in baby¬ hood, fashionable colleges in youth, and given over to society, dress and amusement in womanhood. Instead of reading their Bibles anil saying their prayers at night the girls plait their hair in shucks for bangs, and the boys plait their toes for tooth¬ pick shoes, and both go to sleep with a dime novel under their pillow and a 15 cent head on top of if.

It will doubtless be passed by the house, As it changes the constitution it will re¬ quire two-thirds of the states, to ratify it. This, too, will doubtless be done.

Gladstone justly , earned his title of “Grand Did Mm.” lie never cared for or would receive a title tho Queon could bo.strow, but this one, conferred by humanity and the world at large, suited him well.
