Infamous Conduct of Negroes.

Reports Of an infamous action on tic
part OF some negroes comes from the
neigh borhod of Bolton. A crowd O.
them surrounded the house of Elgin
Wells and made the night hideous with
yelling and firing guns and pistols.
None OF the shots struck the residence,
but are reported as coming near it. This
action is supposed to have been taken
for the purpose OF bulldozing Wells,
who is utterly fearless. lie is one OF
the men who went to tho residence Of q
negro named Myrick, near Bolton some-
time since, and himself and Mr.. Porter
got badly shot. Several parties are on
the outlook for the negroes committing
this last depreciation, and if they are
discovered tho probabilities are there
will be some more casualties OF kind
not pleasant to the negroes.

New York, Nov. GA Herald spe-
cial from Havana, Cuba, via Key West,
Fla, says:
Important advices received from
Santa Clara declare that the rebels are
using dynamite with murdcrous Effect
in every engagement. Great terror
already exists among the Spanish
troops, and the government is endeav.
ing to suppress the news in order that
new arrivals from the peninsula may
not be mnic-strckcn in advance. The
method employed by the rebels
to break the cnemy's line con-
sists in throwing bonbs into the
| Spanish ranks. In this way. it is as
serted, Maceo forced his way through
all opposing forces in his progress
through Santa Clara. which province
he could not otherwise have invaded.
Gomez used dynamite in his assault
at Pelayo, and the insurgents give
what appear TO be exaggerated reports
Of the slaughter that followed. In the
engagement Gomez took many prison
crS.
Gen. Campos sends word to the gov
ernment that convoy on the road to
Salto was attacked by insurgents and
a serious engagement took place. De-
tails of the losses are suppressed.
Spanish official reports give the gov
ernment losses in the field and hospi-
tails from commencement of hostilities
to date at 90, 900 men.

Water Waus.

The recent Water Ways Convention
in vicksburg is, in our opinion, step
in the right direction, and one in when
every farmer should feel especial inter
est. They are the nations great hlgh-
ways, that can never be gobbled up oy
greedy corporations and made means
of robbing the producers OF an unjust
proportion of the products Of their hard
toll, as is done by railroads and other
carriers. There should be continuous
persistent, and systematic action IN TINS
direction by our general government
IS the task is too stupendous to be con-
Quoted by any other means. The WORK
should be intrusted to men whose per-
spective vision extends long way
down the corridors of time, looking 10
the generations yet to come and the
happv results that will follw. The
Mississippi river should be SO improved
that the largest ocean steamers woulo
be able to go to st. Louis at any season
of the year, and all our interior streams
be brought to a corresponding degree
of navigab,e perfection. This is no
Jules Verne idea, but a realistic posi-
bility. 1t is true it will take time and
treasure, but in such way were the
dikes of Holland built, the pyramids
and Lake Moesis at the mouth OF the
Nile to receive its overflow and protect
the delta. So the Yellow river in China
was leveed and it's multitudinous canals
built. Peter the Great built St. Peters
burg almost in the sea by driving piles,
and ancient Memphis was built in
marsh The time is not far distant
when water crafts will go from the.
north Atlantic through the st. Law
renee river, the Great Lakes, and the
canal being built from Chicago to the
Mississippi river, down the river to the
Gulf, through the Nicaragua ship canal
into the Pacific and across this ocean to
China, Japan, and all the Orient, laden
with our varied productions for food
and raiment. 1t would stagger the i'm
agination of the present generation to
conceive of the greatness in store Tor
our country under able and far-seeing
statesmen. A few hundred years would
build the grandest, most powerful and
prosperous nation the world has ever
seen. Go to Central America, Egypt,
Sicily, Greece and Rome and ask Of
THEFT once grand and potent civillza-
lions what can be done, and let it move
our hands and brain to great achieve
ments Let US only, with our nine
teenth century wisdom, built upon the
wreck of the crumbling empires which
have preceded us, be able to retain
and wisely use what we build.

Honest Indian.

Bishop Whipple, of Dakota who mas

Sioux Indians, recently said 10 re-
porter: "1he Indian is proveroiaiiV
honest, unless he is demoralized by

with the Indians never knew one 10

if it was safe to leave my properly In

one hundred miles of you. And yet
the narrow headed politician, who gets
into congress through ignorance and

only real Americans to be found in TINS
country-are not fit to vote. Honest

Personal.

In order that we may receive the
charity of our brother editors through
out the state for any OF our shortcom-
ings we will inform them that we spend
five days out CT every week on our farm
seven miles from Canton. We have to
do this until We get the farm on sub
stantial, permanent paying basis, as
well as the paper, in which enterprise
we have only recently embarked. We
would like mighty well to be town
man, and, although our paper is ac-
ceptable to our people and no town
ever sustained one more Loyalty aud
literally in job work than Canton does
us, vet we are afraid to trust alone to
it for the funds to support gentleman
of our taste and aspirations in city life,
and to be poor town people, especially
poor editor would make us feel bad,
so we have to tarry IA while at Jerico,
the FARM to let our beard grow. We
love the farm, we love to be an editor
doctor, in fact we love SO many
things the ladies tool that it is hard
for us to tell what we are best fitted
for-if really well for anything-we
have tri-weekly mail and write all
but our locals at home, where we have
exchanges enough to start paper mill.
We superintend our farm and do lu-
crative practice of medicine, except on
Fridays and Saturdays, when we go to
town to see if the TINES suits us aud
help to engineer it to it's readers. We
have competent workmen and have
our son in the office and whilst he is
like his daddy" good at too many
things too, yet am pretty well salts
fed all round. The only thing we ever
made a most absolute egregious and
ignominious failure at was planting on
a large scale, but as we had so much
company in that line we sometimes
think we were notsuch a fool afterall.
The only regrets we have about it is
twelve years of the prime of our life
wasted in all save experience, and as
Brick Pomeroy would say we have a
sdamsite" more of that than we used
to have, but il is a mighty thin diet TO
live on and keep family abreast of
the times amid the civilized wants of
the present day. Now brethren don't
view us with an eye too critical for

Group is terror to young mothers
and to post them concerning the cause
first symptoms and treatment is the
object of this item. ! he origin OF Group
is a common cold. Children who are
subject to it take cold very easily and
Group is almost sure to follow. he first
symptom is hoarseness; this is soon fol
lowed by peculiar rough cough, which
is easily recognized and will never be
forgotten by one who has heardit The
time to act is when the child first be-
comes hoarse. If Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy is freely given all tendency to
Group will soon disappear. Even after
the croupy cough has developed it will
preyent the attack. There is no danger
in giving this remedy for it contains
