An Ellsworth County man recently
marketed forty-four head of cattle,
and went home with $2328.96 in his
pocket.
Taxes were never paid more
promptly than were those for the
past year. The total levy in Russell
County was $67, 900, and only about
$40, 900 remains unpaid.
The Record says that in Muscotah
a callow youth, who went to call on a
young lady, was greeted by her
mother, who gave the lad a piece of
bread smeared with molasses, and
advised him to strike a trot for home,
as his mother might be worried about
his absence at night.

WAR WITH SPAIN.
A preparation for war is q ,preve


ton of war; and the Government is
following this axiom. Were cur gov
eminent lily provided with the means
of war, the hot headed Castilian
would be bombarding our shores.
The calm dignity and cool judg-
ment of the Administration has a
good effect in allaying all fears; and
while the country may stand in the
shadow of war, the courage and pa
triotism of the American people is
being tried and will be able to meet
any emergency that may arise.
Spain cannot cope with the United
States in a conflict of war;. but that
country could harass this country and
prolong war indefinitely. The war
fare would be on the seas and com
mercial relations would be broken.
Cuba would be the scene of action
between the land forces and the Gu
ban insurgents would have formid-
able ally in the United States. But
the time is approaching for the unfa-
vorable season and hostilities may
not begin until the summer season is
passed.
People who show impotence over
the apparent slow progress of events,
will in the course of time appreciate
the magnitude of the situation. This
government cannot proclaim war un-
til preparation is made for it. The
impracticable and hot headed Span
lard has already afforded the cause,
and now the opportunity awaits US.
As much as war is to be deprecated
it has its beneficial effects upon the
country. It has q purifying process
which no other agency produces. It
develops the country's resources and
to the victor it extends wealth, power
and influence. The United States
has long stood on the majesty of it's
government as it's potent force, but
the time has arrived when diplomacy
can no longer treat with cruelty and
treachery and the dogs of war must
be let loose; and the honor and digni-
ty of the country must be sustained.
There is no money value that can
indemnify for the loss Of the Maine
and her butchered crew. Only blood
can atone for the diabolical plot more
barbarous than savagery.
The patriotic pulse beats for war.
Spanish cruelty and treachery will be
avenged.

Ing centres selecting stocks. and it was
always a trip I dreaded. but In my latest

There was a carpet man. q dress goods
man. a crOckery man. a fancy goods
man. a shoe man. and we all had orders
TO scOur the United States for the best
in our various lines. We were a Jolly
crowd. and were all pitted against one
another. as TO who would make the
greatest number Of good purchases and
whose department would show up best
at the opening Of the store. Our paths
lay I'm many different directions. and
we did not all meet again until this week
when we were opening the purchases we
had made preparing for the opening Of
the store; and you nno imagine the
amount OF rivalry among these merchants.
for this store IS really a combination Of
merchants. My furniture stock IS sur

When told he was talking with much
enthusiasm. Mr.. Scott said he knew he
