higher.”
“Our own with
the fleet” is a very important per
sonage these days.
Hobson ia a prohibitionist—but
what has that to do with his fail
ure to cork that bottle?
Those Cuban cables seem to be
like horse hair snakes; the more

Every time that Blanco thinks

of a rain of terror in that vicin
ity- __
The Herald regrets to learn
that the bottom has fallen out of
the watermelon market in south
west Georgia.—Waycross Bller
ald.
It remains to be seen whether
those women street car conduc
tors in Chillicothe will make the
ladies “please move up and give
the gentleman a seat.”
Some one suggests that per
haps after all that much dreaded
Cadiz fleet only wants to take a
Camara snapshot at us. Awful.
isn’t it?—Americus Recorder.
If Hobson dies in captivity,
Cervera should be held account
able, if he lives he is eligible to
the major generalship of a di
vision of kiped immunes.
An expert has figured it that
a two liours’s fight by the com
bined fleets ol Sampson and
Schley would cost for amniuni
tion alone not less than $383,-
000.
The tidings that the people of

£The military vxp dilion which
sailed from Tampa for Santiago
this week is the most powerful
military exp dition that, ever left

Itseems that your Uncle Allen
knew what he was doing. W when

Romans knew how to appreciate
said epistle.
Tbe Russian Ambassador brings
in his budget to the United S »tes
only the assurance of good will.
France protests her everlasting

worth all of China and a hundred

sire it,”
Madrid continues to receive dis
patches from Captain Gener. 1

ation as the uninitiated had sup
posed it to be.

And the News might safely add
that every Candler appointed oi
elected reflects credit upon the

cerning tbe practices ol tbe Amer
icans, issued by the Governor Gen
eral *of the “Madam-’/
