To all things there must come a
past. Christmas is now a back num-
Der.
Ii is best neither to remember nor
forget, but it is an evident fact that
all political parties got showed under
last week.
The Christmas tree at this place
was a grand success; everything was
quiet and the best of order prevailed.
Our young men b We behaved eN-
ceedingly well. W, have heard no
bacchanalan shc".s of drunken rev
elers in so long At we have cone TO
the conclusi"' that it IL best to be-
have all tn time.
There il so much ice in the river
that the boats have had to take back
seat.
c. +. Weldon got home from Leb-
anon, Ohio, last week, where he had
been attending school.
Our citizens are very busy hauling
and filling their ice houses with frozen
water, while it is called water.
Quite a number of our neighbors
went to Hurricane last night to meet
ing, and stayed to watch the old year
90 out and the new come in. We
suppose the change took place, as We
see several families moving this NOR
ming, and almost all of them have a
new almanac.
Tolu is overstooked with bachelors,
dogs and plug hats.
Tolu needs roller mill, a Baptist
church, printing Office, big sale OF
lots and about a dozen weddings, for
ty barrels Of sorghum and a dog law.
All bids for the above are in order for
a few days only. Agents for the Pea.
body Fund need not apply.
Our school at this place Is progress

EXPLANATION IN ORDER.
Action Of a Spanish Gunboat Which May Have
Been Unwarranted.

DELAWARE BREAKwATER, July 25. -
Captain Quick, of the American schooner
Carrie A. Lane, upon his arrival here last
night, had a tale to tell about thrilling
encounter In Cuban waters with Spanish
gunboat. Two shots were fired at the
Lane by the man-of-war, and one of tho
schooner's crew narrowly escaped being
killed by one of them. The vessel was
made to heave to and give an account of
herself before being allowed TO proceed.
The schooner was off Capo Antonio, and
making good time before stiff breeze,
when, on the 14th inst, she sighted a
steamer flying the Spanish flag following
her. Captain Quick, after an hour or SO,
noticed that the stranger was signaling
him TO stop. He could only make out
that she looked like largo tugboat such
as Is usually TO be found In American sea-
ports. While he was making up his mind
what course to pursue, a puff OF smoke
curled up over the steamers port bow, and
n round shot whistled uncomfortably close
to the schooner's mainmast, and plunged
into the water on the lee quarter.
Captain Quick gave the order TO haul In
sail and bring the vessel TO, and while this
was being done one of the crew ran out
on the bowsprit. As ne stood there, the
gun on the Spanish warship doomed again,
this time coming SO close to her that tho
sailman ON the bowsprit felt the wind
caused by Its rapid flight.
Tho Lane soon came to dead stop. and
the gunboat drew up under her quarter,
and four Spanish marines, under the COM
mand Of a lieutenant, came aboard. They
were fully armed, and their leader very
willy demanded to know from what bort
