The aaylcos from tho camp Of the insurgents
in Cuba Which Mr.. O'Kolly was ablo to sond
to tho Now York Herald before his arrest,
indicate TINT tie revolutlonists arc moro dotar-
mined and more hopeful than ever. It also ap-
pears that they hayo good ground for encour-
agement. They aro richer In clothoB, ammuni-
ton, and ar1na than they wore year ago, which
shows that, In spite Of the disparity Of forces,
they aro making hcadway against lilo spauards.
II they can gain not only In numbors, but tn
matcrlal OF war under the most vigorous porse-
outton nnd watchfulnoHs, 1t is not likoly tnat
they will loso any Of their arlor, pluck, or

Ar SAINE's SPRING On Wednesday last
9 large number of citizens living in the
Carraway neighborhood met at Saline
Spring about nine miles southeast of
Boliv ar to consider the feasibility of the
projected narrow gauge road from Bolir
var to Middleton. H. NJ. Polk and ye
local did good service in the cause and
have the qualification of knowing that
their words were well received and that
the proposition met with favor and Is
highly susceptible of rapid growth and
final triumph. On the l4th, to>day eek
barbecue Is to be given at Ingram s
Spring, some two or three miles east of
the place " here the meeting was held
last Wednesday, at which time there will
be a splendid opportunity to ascertain
how much the people along the proposed
road are interested in its construction,
and those who wish TO assist in the en-
terprise should be present. 1t is useless
here for US to enter into lengthy dis
cussion of the subject, for there is not a
sensible man in the whole community al
all conVersant with the facts involved bat
who knows that the road is badly needed
and that it ought to be built for more
reasons than could be enumerated in this
short and hastily written article.

Cor HIS DUEs.-At Ubet last Monday
week az obstroperous fifteenth amender,
after throwing himself on the outside of
a quart of redeye, got on the war,path,
armed and equipped with shot gun
Some one remarked that he was a mean
negro, and this reused the devils in his
boots and they came to his whisky racked
brain intent on doing terrible things. He
thrust his old fuzee at Mr.. John Henslev
and threatened to shoot, but the gentle,
man was too quick for the half crazy fool.
In an instant Hensloy jerked the gun out
of his hands and dealt him blow with
it which caused the blood to flow pro-
fusely. From what we can learn of the
affair it is not likely that that darkie will
again threaten to use his gun on a white
man in long time to come. The loose
habit of threatening to shoot, cut, whip
and kill does not pay, and the sooner it
! becomes absOletc the better.
