The Sheriff of Floyd County The Ordinary of Floyd Co, The H ustler-Comm ercial has the confidence of the classes and the masses—because it mer its and deserves the confidence of all its readers. Now is the time to tell your neighbor to quit borrowing and enlist his name as a subscriber. The eagle continues to scream Spain will have to pay the Jwar tax . Mobley’s grows yet mor- : ular. Farmers of Floyd are in line spirits. Dewey 1, Sampson 1 2 and Schley 0 2. Well, what is all this '-‘scrap’' about, any how ! Shatter’s fighting has cost Americans heavily. Mil . ~i. In time of war Spain has no use for war ships. Poor old Cevera, but then he was kind to Hobson. Now let Sampson kiss Cevera and charge it to Hobson. J" TV.”'- . Lend a hand and help the soldier’s barbecue move. The pension list will now takv on beautiful growing proportions. The races at Mobley’s are all that lias be’en claimed for them. Sampson was handicapped with a cable, but he got there in due time. In Shafter’s line of battle, “Fighting Joe” Wheeler holds the center. Port Said is not so far away— if Admiral Watson will culycut his cables. Gen. Miles continues to oper ate from the Uncle S-im end ol the foot-1 g. Now give Schley a chance at a Spanish fl<*et and let him win an admiralship. The Spaniards don’t begin lo bjlieve that story about a De- Ilined Sampson. Admiral Watson will have to “hurry up’’ if he get« a whack at Spain’s other ileet.

From i h<- way' I ncle Sam's boys have been “hogging” the bullfighters out of their ships of-war, it becomes more appar ent that the Spaniard had delib erately chosen his language when he yelled “yankee pigs” at our boys. It doesn’t matter much what ' Europe thinks, all the same the Americans will teach the old worl 1 a lesson ; Upain by expe rience, and the other nations by observation —unless they dare “come closer.” Spain is having a hard time now With her finances, but wait until iier auditing committee tackles our war indemnity bill. Then there will b<- weepit.g and wailing and gnashing <>f teeth. —Albany Her ald. Montejo had his D-wey, Cervera his Sampson, but when Admiral Watson goes tip for that other fleet Camera will deveh p a pic turesque negative. Dewey destroyed a fleet and didn’t lao3e a man. Sampson destroyed a fleet, captured a Spanish admiral and lost only one man. The Spaniish Spaniard will be slower than ever in believing that part of the scripture which r j cords the Delilahering of Sampson. DamtlieEtowah—but didn’t 'timp-on, our strong-man, give - Uncle Samuel and his boys a _ : < -ns Fourth of July present? Santiago is the oldest town in America, but Uncle Sam has a way of taking any old thing he needs in his business. Capt. Henry Stewart will car ry almost a full company out of Rome. He has about 80 men en listed now. Has any one heard from Hob >oll since Cevera’s Ileet joined Montejo's submarine naval ex pedition? It is Doctor McKinley now, and the country will hava a right to expect that he will dose its enemi< e to a more thorough purgation. “The Cuban soldiers have made valiant assaults on. the ra iions furnished them by Uncle ' Sam,” observes Mrs. My rick. The rich red blood of the “Yan ' kee Pigs” has dyed Cuban soil. • and Spanish rule must forever' end in that devoted Viand.

As the genuine Syrup of Figs is manufactured by the California Fig Syrup Co. only, a knowledge of that fact will assist, one in avoiding the worthless imitations manufactured brother par ties. The high, standing of the Cali fornia Fig Syrup Co. with the medi cal profession, and the satisfaction which the genuine Syrup of Figs has given to millions of families, makes the name of the Company a guaranty •jf the excellence of its remedy. It is far in advance of all other laxatives, as it acts on the kidneys, liver and bowels without irritating or weaken ing them, ami it does not gripe nor nauseate. 1 n order to get its beneficial effects, please remember the name of the Company CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP Cb. SAN Flt A N CISCO, Cal. LOUisVILLt: 'a.W YORK. N. Y. POINTED PARAGRAPHS. The youth who courts a tall girl has a lofty ambition. The wheels in a man’s head are seldom able to score a cen tury run. Women never criticise the grammar/jf men who pay them compliments. A man is more apt 11 tell what he doesn’t believe than what he Joes. A diamond is of less value to some men than a spade or a club is to others. Many of our laws are made by nen who have barely escaped the law’s clutches. When it comes to a to s-up be tween a man and a bull the man invariably lose--. Words rhyming with Cuba are scarce and a long suffering public should be thankful. Some men don’t seem to know when they are whipped, but they doubtless have suspicions. True love is portrayed by a man and woman who have been married three years and still ride a tandem. A woman always credits an other woman with having excel lent judgment when they both dislike the same person. The lady writer who said a man’s a fool if he takes a worn m’s advice, ami he’s a fool if he doesn’t, might as well have ■oiid that all men are fools, and I t it go at that. The Second Massachusetts and the Rough Riders are winning glory and shedding members around Santago.
