Will the Cubans fight? Well, not much ! Has Germany’s "war lord’' heard the news? ———■gw— Cervera kissed Hobson, no one kisses Cervera. The Spanish "Jonahs” have been whaled again. w——y—— This is a nation of two parties and one Fourth of July. Cervera and Montejoboth live to "remember the Maine.” Rushing the can has no ter ror for the bob-tailed dog. Schley knocked the very blazes out of Cervera’s ships. J— -Stanton is missed from the Constitution’s editorial page. King David is said to be the first giant cracker known to his tory. There’s absolutely no call for Germany to take our partin the Philippines. Schley seems to have oeen the right man at the right point of the compass. Cervera’s men distinguished themselves as much by their bravery as by their bad gunnery. "A hot time in the old town” has war stamps on its every note, and is pne song that has come to stay. Ceivera, even in the death struggle, imposed his burning hulks upon the devoted island of Cuba. John D. Little, of Muscogee, one of the coming men of Geor gia, will be the Speaker of the next House. Postmaster Joe J. Hamilton ! appointed under a Republican administration, too. Why. Joe is about as good a Democrat as lives in his iitik of (he timber. The Georgia Weekly Press Association will boll it* 12th annual convention in Newnan I July 12tl: and 13th. That hos I pitable city, so well known as a great entertainer, will give tin Georgia edito s a splendid recep tion. A big barbecue, a ball, and other social functions will make the stay of the weekly ed itors a n'oqf, delightful one. ■ 11 r—■ Effort is to be made by the American Tract Society to put a Spanish primerand New Testa ment into the hands of every Cuban family as soon as the war is over. Already the society has more than 400 publications in the Spanish language,‘and its labors in Mexico, especially,have been and protracted. Spain pretends not to be very much alarmed in reference to the proposed sending of a "Hying squadron to her shores. But she will change her tune when the lowa and the Oregon line up ofi Cadiz. A few of their "13 inch pills” landed in her forts would wake up the echoes all the way to Madrid. All Americans will be pleased to know that Cevera was not killed in battle. He is too good a man to be a Spaniard and our country should not exchange him as the Spaniards would probably assassinate him be cause he could not perform an impossible act —Americus Her ald. McKinley is welcome to all he can make for the Republican party by the appointment of such Democrats as Joe J. Ham- | ilton, to office. While other towns have been drawing negro postmasters, Rutne is awarded a white man and a Democrat. Tiianks, Mr. President, thanks. Somewhere in the state’s con tines the pops have found Mr. Hogan whom th u y are offering for governor. Now if they can bring forward a Mr. Hominy on the tick, they will have a favor able layout. "Hogan Hominy” Mould be a bully slogan, surely. —Courant American. Lieutenant Hobson gave an order to a press clipping bureau last November for clippings of ill newspaper mention of him, and from that time until he sail ed with Sampson’s fleet only 40 such clippings were collected. Now they are being gathered at the rate of about 400 a day. If the Spaniards will only miss our boys at the front as we miss them at home, the noys may not miss the trip home af ter the war is over. The Spaniard should be taught to fight bulls on the ocean—he might prove a sailor instead of a “Jonah” under such training Just think of it—England celebrating the Fourth. Verily j the hatchet is being buried all along the line.—Macon News. Miles will reach the front when Camara reaches Manile, anu that will be—some bright day after the war is over. When the report of the de struction of Cervera’s fleet reach ed Boston the sigh that city heaved was sighzable. Georgia democrats have fallen into line and asked for the nom ination of the United States set • a tors by the people. Wh'le ever) dog has his day Spain seems to have worked a corner on the "sad-but-glorious day” market. Fancy mild cured hams at L'oyd’s, small insiziand p i e and they are sweet and juicy.

There had been a bu'l fight, and the matadores hud diep"sed of their bulla in the most glory fashion to the number of some halfdozen, and the audi ence was in that mood of high ex hilaiatii n which is peculiarly to the inception of brilliant ideas. The idea came. An individual the happy of turning iq-to th® arena, which was drenched with the blood of bulls and horse®, a live, pig, with aD American flag tied to its (ail. Th« flag was seton fire, and midst hoarse yells Iro n thousands of throats, the pig rushed about the ring until it was literally roasted to death’ The local chronicler ot this piece of disgusting bruta'ity, oiicluded his description as fol low • "Would to Gwd that the flag ot the Yankee N > ion might be as quickly reduced to nothing.”— London Leader. It is gratifying to note that ample provision has been made fur the payment of the Philip pine army upon the arrival of Gen. Merritt. It is said that several million dollars in gold . are on board the Newport, and also a SIOO,OOO emergency fund. This will enable him to accom plish wonders when once in pos session of Manila. Upon the e\e of his departure the general, when asked if he intended tak ’ ing peaceful possession of the ' Philippines, replied: ‘'Peaceful ■ or otherwise, just as it corues; but I will take it, no matter what obstacles I may find in my _ i path of duty.” J .U!.
