Death of Mrs. Roberts-Effect of the
 Blizzard-Court News
 Opelika, Dec 3-(Special Correspond ence) )-Mrs. M. A. Roberts, a very aged lady, died here last night at the residence of her son, MT. G. w. Roberts, supervi- sor of the Central railroad. She was the widow of a soldier of the war 1912.
 We have been wrapped up in a terrible blizzard for week, and considerable suf- fering has resulted The streets are al- most impossible and business has almost been suspended. All mails have been greatly delayed.
 Our people are kicking for better pas senger train schedules on the Central railroad between here and Birmingham. The service is very badly arranged. as there is no chance to go up the road at all without consuming an extra day and night
 Cotton still pours in. The compress is doing a splendid business, and is working forty hands day and night.
 Chancery court conyeneS here on De- cember IA. His honor. Judge J: R. Dow dell. will preside Several important cases will be disposed of. There will be no circuit court held here until next spring, on account of the new court house not yet being completed.
 The moonshiners above here, in Ran- dolph, Clay and Tallapoosa counties, are making merry. The United States dep- uty rnarshals are not after them, there being no funds availa ble to pay fees and mileage Consequently. they have the woods to themselves, and are enjoying their CTS twhile freedom rom lnterIerence to a great extent.
 The people of Opelika have all got to- gether at last on one subject. They want the new depot to be built in the park in the center of town where the present de-
 l. road has been obtained and all that is needed Is for the Central road to agree Strong petitions will be presented to that effect. Our people are dead in earnest in the matter. and hope to receive the favorable consideration at the hands o1 inc Central railroad.

Drowning Horse Saved-Death of Mrs.
 g P. Burro--Cotton Receipts.
 Lincoln, Dec. S.-(Special Correspond ence)-Quite an amusing, yet serious accident happened to horse and wag- on and the Lincoln steam gin Monday evening. in the gin lot there is pond "without a bottom," as the old phrase runs. having banks about ten feet higher than the water. The horse became frightened at the escaping steam and backed the wagon and himself into the pond Then the tug of battle began, re- ouiring the united efforts of about all the men in town to save the old horse and wagon. But victory crowned their efforts. and today the horse appears as usual with the exception Of bed-cover, which he is temporarily wearing to hide the skinned places. We will have ito bring in another horse, if the same thing happens again.
 Lincoln now has seven general mer- chandise stores and one drug establish ment. and they are all selling goods.
 At 9 o'clock Tuesday morning, after a long and painful sickness, the soul or Miss Mary Wallace Burns departed for she spirit world. In the bloom of young womanhood she was taken. Sickness and sorrow has been her inheritance on the earth. Indeed, her days were few and full of trouble" but We have abund- ant reason to believe that her condition has wonderfully and glorlously changed and that her days are now many and sull of brightness and joy and bliss.

WEYLER CAN'T FIND MACEO The Latter Strongly Fortified on
 the Hill Tops, MORE SHOCKING DETAILS or the Brutal Assassination of Lopez Cooma by Order of Weyer-Had the Par
 don in His Pocket.

Key West, Fla, Dec. 3.-Passengers who arrived from Havana last night re- port that Weylers campaign in Pinar del Rio SO far is a complete failure, de- spite the fact that he has ever 60,000 men in the pr vince When Wayler left Ar temisa he formed a column of 10000 in- fantry. 900 cavalry and ten pieces of artillery and marched, Ekirting the base of the hills on the southern side and seeking an opening to attack Maceo, who is strongly fortified on top Of the hills. It appears that Maceo has gathered all his forces and is now entrenched in the hills waiting Weyler's attack. There is no truth in the report that Maceo has divided his forces into small bands to elude combats. It is known on good au- thority that Weyler has no view of meet ing Maceo. Weyler will gay he found TO rebels and will return to Havana saying the province is pacified and that there only remains small parties of bandits in the hills and as the local troops are suf- fcient to disperse and capture these rebel bands his presence is unnecessary.
 Gomez. with a large force, is steadily advancing west, moving slowly on &C., count of great impediment5 in the way of canons, infantry, etc. He is now re- ported in Santa Clara province, and, 1t is said is coming with 20,000 men.
 The censorship is more rigorous than ever. Nothing is allowed printed con- corning Gomez's movements or his whereabouts
 There are more shocking details of Lo- peg Coloma's execution. He was kept manacled twenty-four hours in the chapel. He was Ill, suffering from dys- entery. and very weak. He saw his child before being killed which was the only favor allowed He showed no weak ness in that trying moment. Gen. Mar tinez Campos is indignant at the injus- tice committed in executing Coloma. Campos obtained the queens pardon for Coloma and sent a telegram so advising. The message arrived at noon. Weyler pocketed it and ordered the execution to proceed and Coloma was shot at D. m.
 The rebels trapped twenty-four local guerillas near Quivican recently All were killed with matchetes. The fact was never reported by the papers. It Is rumored that Roloff has arrived with an expedition. He came from Campeche, Mexico
 There is great interest in Havana con- cernng Cleveland's message and the ac- tion of congress. The Spaniards and Cubans alike are anxiously awaiting re- suits.

CAN'T FIND MACEO.
Weyler Remains Ignorant of the Insur- :, gent Leaders, Whereabouts.

Weyler Remains Ignorant of the Insur- ., gent Leaders, Whereabouts. Havana, Dec. 3.-Musketry and canon firing have been heard in the direction of the Gobernadora hills, near Cayaja- tbos, about seven miles northwest of Ar itesmia, and in the rear of Weyler's forces. As yet no report has reached here as to the occasion of the firing, but it is thought that detachment of Span- ish troops has met a body of insurgents who are detached from Maceo's com mand.
 General Weyler's ignorance of the whereabouts of Maceo is remarked upon here and is giving rise to many rumors. One report has 1t that he is in the Rubi hills with a small force, while another report states that he has left the pro- vince of Pinar del Rio, having abandoned his men and crossed the trocha in dis guise.
 All these reports are based on nothing but conjecture.

Some people believe that a republican admin istration, In the greatness of its liberal ity with the peoples money, will make a larger appropriation for this work. We hope our congressman will put forth eX- tra efforts along this line. If the work is ever finished, the money will have to be given with. more Iiberality.

LoYALIsTs EXPECTANT.

Havana, Dec S.--The expectation of loyalsts here is at a high point. they wishing to hear of a decisive defeat of the rebels from the province of Pinar del Rio by the troops under command of Capt Gen. Weyler Since his return to the front from Havana Gen. Weyler has had no engagement with the insurgents. In fact, the Spanish scouts have not been able to locate the enemy. and the posi- tion is not known of a single one of the rebel parties. The last report received here stated that Weyler and his forces were encamped near Los Palacies. The condition of Gonzales Munoz, who re- gently returned to Havana suffering with fever has become worse, and fears are entert aimed that he will not recover.
