Volume 36.

With this number the Banner
begins it's thirty-fifth volume. The
first number of the Banner was is
sued on Friday, July I, 1850, but
in the absence of the proprietor in
the Confederate army, the pro tenn
editor was compelled, for want OF
piper and ink, to suspend the Ban
ner on September 9th, 1862. On
July 16, 1865, the publication Of the
paper was resumed by the proprie-
tor, and without tie loss Of a single
issue, it has been published every
week since. Although the last num-
Der closed the thirty fourth year of
it's publication, the Banner will be
thirty-seven years old next July.
The then and the now of the Bos-
sier Banner is a theme that enkin-
dies reflection while it shapes pur-
pose. Who is on the stage OF action
to-day that was q ready worker
thirty-seven years ago' What is
sue, between man and man, betwixt
purpose and effort, that held the
stage near four decades ago, usurps
or even claims it nowf The war
was coming and Lee and Grant were
unnoticed heroes. Slavery was max
ing its death struggles, while Hor-

TRADE REVIEW.
Too Late for Business to Change
Materially
Until Crop Prospects Are Assured and
Shape Given Presidential Contest.
Boot and Shoe Manufacture the Most For
tunate of the Chief Industries-Textile
Mills Not Yet Gaining-Active De-
mand for Certain Cotton Goods.

New York, May 1G.-R. G. Dun g. Co.
says Saturday:
Failures for the week have been 224
in the United States, against 211 last
year, and 33 in Canada, against 81 last
year.
It is now the middle of May, too late
for business to change materially until
the prospects of coming crops are as
sured and definite shape has been Civ
en- to the presidential contest by
the conventions. Until the future
is more clear there is a prudent disin-
clination to produce much beyond or
ders or so order beyond immediate and
certain needs. If this waiting spirit
prevails two months longer, it will
crowd into the last half of the year an
enormous business if the outlook
then is good. For the present
there is less business than a
year ago, though in some branches
more and the delay following months
of depression is to many trying and
causes numerous failures.
An attempt was made to manufac-
ture excitement in cotton out of the
government report, but the price closed
exactly as it began, the week and the
port receipts have been actually larger
than last year. All current arguments
based on the assumption that the guam
tity used in manufacture has been or is
now at a maximum rate are disproved
by the closing of many mills for want
of demand, and the general effort to
reduce wages which have caused some
strikes.
The most fortunate of the chief in
dustries at present is the boot and shoe
manufacture, which is not only ship
ping to customers within six per cent.
of the largest number of cases ever
forwarded in the first half of May, but
is getting many new orders, and there
are many urgent requests to anticipate
orders for June and July deliv-
cry indicating that distribu-
ton to consumers has outrun
expectations. Prices are unchanged at
the lowest average yet reached, but
there is rather rapid advance in hides
at Chicago and leather begins to stiffen
little. The iron and steel industry
on the other hand is pronounced as
dull as it ever has been il it's whole
history at Pittsburgh, in part because
of doubt about the maintenance of
prices recently advanced and the de-
mand is so small that in spite
of such advance prices aver
age 1.2 per cent. lower for the
week

THE BUTCHERY
OF Unarmed and Unprotected Citizens o.
Cuba by the Spanish Soldiers.

OF Unarmed and Unprotected Citizens of
Cuba by the Spanish Soldiers.
PHILADELPHIA, May 1G-An after
noon newspaper Friday printed the fol-
lowing story:
No more forcible evidence of the
butchery of unarmed and unprotected
Cubans by the Spanish troops could be
adduced than by advices received in
this city Friday afternoon from Matan-
zas, Cuba, which graphically deSict the
barbarous and inhuman means en-
ployed by the Spanish soldiers in their
war against the Cubans. The letter
was dated May 0, and reached this city
through private sources, for the reason,
as cited in the communication, that all
letters that go via Havana post Office
are tampered with and frequently do
not reach their destination.
The letter starts out with the state
ment that ca non-combatants, men,
women and children, were met by a
Spanish column under Col. Aldea in
the town of Savanilla, near Matanzas,
and fred upon by his orders. Twenty
seven were killed instantly and the
rest neu lnIO cane uclu, WHICH Was
set on fire by the troops and all per-
ished in the flames and the bodies were
left as food for the buzzards.
Another case was then cited 1t was
that of two bodies of white men which
were found on the shores of Matanzas
bay. These bodies were lashed to.
gether, and there was unmistakable
evidence of having been killed by ma
chetes The discovery of the bodies
caused great sensation and
now the authorities are try
ing to make out that it was the
work of the insurgents. The writer
points out that this is ridiculous fol-
the reason that the insurgents are moi
in possession of Matanzas and that the
men were political prisoners confined
in San Severino castle, where assassin
ations of this kind are said to be carried
on almost nightly, and the bodies cas-
into the bay have been found will
weights attached to their feet.

FREE! FREE!
TO KIDNEY SUFFERERS.
An Opportunity Worthy Your
Notice.

If you suffer with kidney disease or
any ailment arising from an improper
action of the kidneys or urinary or
gans, this offer we make to- the people
of Marietta SHOULD interest you. In
the advancement of medical science,
the kidneys, being almost the organs
of the greatest Importance to human
health, have not been neglected, and
in placing before you such cure as
Doan's Kidney Pills, the proprietors
recog nize how far so many statements
of the makers of similar preparations
have fallen short of their claims, being
convinced that no remedy for kidney
complaints in existence equals Doan's
Kidney Pills for such ailments;
strengthened in these convictions by
letters that are daily received of the
work they are doing for mankind's S
benefit, old backs and young backs are
being constantly freed from never
ceasing aches, and many lame and
shattered one, stopped and contracted,
is strengthened, invigorated and in
fused with new life. With such med
icne, an offer of this kind can be made
without hesitancy, for while we lose
the box we give to you, we make a
friend that assists us in the sale OF
many others.
