Mr.. Blaine would have been nominated

Blaine. Then there will DO a whoop

nominated by reclamation.

Barber county has not made any ap-
peals to the outside world for financial
help. and IN this our people are wise.
The publicity that has been given to
the distress existing ia comanche and
Clark counties VIII be remembered for
years. Our people did not raise any
big crops last year, but they raised
something and do not have to ask aid
from Kansas or Missouri. Our people
are in the best Of spirits; they are plow-
ing for oats and corn and our predic-
tion is that the acreage sown and plant
Cd this season will equal that Of last
year. when It quadrupled that cultivat-
cd IN 1886.

Ing, had become admirable marksmen. Their
commander directed them to train the broad
side guns Of the steamer upon the ravines
down which the men in butternut gray were
swarming.
They did so, and in a few seconds shells
were bursting in quick succession among the
closely packed Confederates in the narrow
hill roads. They fell rapidly, bleeding, torn
and dying, blocking the way with their
bodies.
1t was this terrible Smelling of the ravines
10y the Tayor's guns that threw the Confed
crates into confusion. Those in the ravine
roads turned and fled in panic Those that
had already gained the Union works at Bat
terry soon followed their example, bewild

In his report Of the battle OF Helena, Gen.
Prentss said: ~ attribute not little of our
success in the late battle to Lieut. Commander
Prichett's full knowledge of the situation and
his skill in adapting the means within his

Helena, along the Mississippi, victories were
gained by the Union forces, all within a few
days of one another, early in July, 1863
