Notwithstanding the general depres-
sion, there seems to be healthy condi-
tion in our local finances. The number
OF depositors ut the Farmers Bank OF

months, showing that our people have q
little money and are able to appreciate
the advantage of q bank.
The temporary organization OF the Nc
Kinley CLUB OF Weston was effected last
Saturday evening at Saling's Hall. There
was slim attendance out to hear the
Athena orator, J. B. Huntington, who
made the stock argument that prevailing
hard times are due to the Wilson bill.

American Pluck.

No American can read the tele-
graphic account Of the gallant lght
made by fifteen Texas Rangers
against u large force of Spanish
troops in the Pinar del Rio Province
without thrill of National pride.
The Americans who had volunteered
to help the cause of Cuba, were Ill a
narrow ravine and surrounded on all
sides. 1t was impossible to escape
and rather than have the word car
ried back to the Lone Star State that
they had surrendered, they decided
to decline flag Of truce and fight to
the death.
1t was here that the Spsniards got
bloody foretaste Of the kind OF
fighting they would have to meet in
Cuba, If an american army took the
field. Every crack Of the Texans
Winchesters sent a Spaniard to the
ground, and by their terrible fire they
three times repealed the charge of
the enemy. When but four or five
we're left Of this intrepid band thoy
were asked to surrender, but refused
and fought to the end. The last man
shouted "Viva Cuba Libre" as bull
let went through his chest. When
the Spanish forces counted their dead
they began to realize tho kind Of
stuff they would have to meet in
battle when America takes hand in
the Cuban war.
The gallant death OF these men
calls to mind the last stand of the
Old Guard at Waterloo or the heroic
defending Of the pass by the Greeks
at Thermopylae. 1t will rouse an in
tense feeling OF State pride in Texas
and more rangers will soon cross the
borders to avenge the deathH OF these
fifteen heroes, whose bodies are now
feasting the buzzards at Pinar del
Rio. 1t ia not saying too much for
Texas that in land battle the State
of Texas alone could defeat all the
forces Of Spain, But Texas is not
the only State in the Union-thsre
are others. Carson Appeal.
