Died..

FURMAN. Died at her home in
Randall on Sunday July 18th of con-
sumption Mrs. Amanda Furman wife
of /. n. Furman. Several months
ago she went to visit her relatives in
New Mexico in the hope that the
change of climate would do her good
but the ravages of the disease had ex-
tended too far to be checked and she
came home to die. The death was
one of Christian triumph and duly
impressed all with the sweetness OF
the Christian faith and the consola-
tion that it affords in thehOur of trial.
The funeral was at one on Monday.
and was conducted by Rev. Bum
gardener who was pastor of her church.
The interment was in the grave yard
at Cassyille.

More Exemnfions.

County and district officials who
have to pay out money for these va
rious divisions have been Informed
that they do not have to affix inter-
nal revenue stamps to checks made
ont in making such payments.
At first it was thought that they
would have to pay this tax along
with the rest of mankind but they
have exempted. 1t would have been
a serious expense to some OF them and
they would have had to pay it them
selves as neither the county nor dis
trict has made no provision to meet
such case.

A PLEASANT AFFAIR.
The junior c. e. Society OF the NJ. p.
Church Give an Entertainment in
Honor of z. III. Keck.

The Junior Christian Endeaver
Society of the NJ. P. church on Sun
day afternoon went over to Mr. p. III.
Kecks and held very interesting lit
tie service in his home Mr.. Keck has
been in very poor health for several
months, but was able to sit up during
the exercises. AT their conclusion,
however, he was forced to lie down.
The children were under the direction
of J. w. Johnson. After the exer-
cises were over the children were in
vited into to another room and there
they had elegant refreshments served
to them. Taking it all in all the oc-
casion was delightful one and was
enjoyed by all who participated in it.

Biggest Wen Yet.

The largest oil well ever drilled in
the state is reported from Brink,
near Warrington. The production
for the first hour after the well came
in was five hundred barrels. 1t is
almost uncomfortable and conserva-
tive estimates place the production
at from $500 to 1000 barrels day
which breaks the record of the state.
The above is the substance of tele-
gram sent out from Warrington and
it cannot be verified or disproven
and is given for what it is worth.

4 Tax ON Ties.

1t may not be generally known
among the ministerial profession,
that marriage certificates require ten
cent revenue stamp, under the new
war tax. twill be well for the gem
tlemen of the cloth to see that all
marriage certificates issued by them
are duly stamped as required by law,
and thus avoid any trouble, as the
law plainly says. All certificates re-
auired by law require a ten cent rev.
enue stamp, and this includes those
of marriages.

IN A FEW DAYS
Watson's Fleet Will Start for
Spain This Week.

WASHINGTON. July 18.-W atson's
fleet which has been busilY getting
ready for descent on Spain will
probably sail this week. It is now
at Siboney and nearly all the prepar-
ations have been made for sailing.
The feet will be the same as origi-
nally designated with the addition
of a number of GOLFERS. 1t will be
ready for cruise around the world
if need be. The Newark will be the
flagship. Spain is trying to arrange
for demonstration in Meditteran-
can waters by the Powers
but the United States will
pay no attention to this. Or
ders will be given to Watson which
he will enforce no matter what
obstacles oppose themselves. If the
Powers are offended they will have
to make the best of it.

ON THE LAST LAP.
The Iron Work on the New
Bridge is being put in Place.

A great Deal has Already been done.--
The Contractors Will not Let any
Time go to Waste in Getting the Job
Done. Two Weeks the Public can
Cross the Bridge. Plan to be Used In
Building it.A Great Deal of Delay
but there is to be no More from now
on. Every one ~ Glad to see the
Finish SO Near.
The closing chapter in the con-
struction of the Decker's Creek
bridge is well begun and it will not
be long until the end is reached.
The iron work is going into place as
fast as it can be put there by all
the men who can be worked to adj.
vantage on the Job. The work has
been going on for several DAYS and d
lot of the structure is up and one
can get a good idea of the size and
shape Of the bridge when it shall
have been finished.
1t is to be a handsome affair when
compared with the old rattletrap
with which we had to contend for so
many years after it had outlived its
usefulness. The public can use the
new one with some degree of salts
faction. A visit to the scene of
operations showed number of men
bnsily at work putting the iron in
place under the direction of Mr.. w.
Il. Barkwell, of the Canton Bridge
Company.
He stated that he would have the
bridge done and ready for travel In
two weeks from to-day If he loses no
more time on account of the weather.
Nine men are at work. No more
can be used with any profit as there
cannot be found room for more than
that number at once.
The company does the rest of the
job. They will, when they are done.
have the bridge ready for travel and
the public can go over it when the
present force finishes its labors.
The structure is to be viaduct and
a deck span in combination. The
roadway is to be eighteen feet wide
and there are to he two sidewalks.
each five feet six inches wide. These
will be separated from the roadway
by an Offset. At first it was pro
posed to have railing between
them but this was not considered
the best and as it was an additional
expense the idea was abandoned.
Everyone has become tired of the
tardy way in which the bridge has
been going heretofore but they will
soon see that no more delay will be
experienced. OF course they are
glad of this and will be more glad
when they arc enabled to use the
structure to cross the creek. The
temporary bridge while a great con-
yenience compared with none at ALL
is also great nuisance, and those
who have occasion to use the road
want to see some better way to get
across in very short time

THE WAR PROGRESS.
A Few of the Things that have
been done in the last
twenty-four hours.

Our flag flies over Santiago
where it was placed at noon
yesterday with impressive
ceremonies.
The preliminaries looking
toward the surrender were
hard to arrange owing to the
stubbornness Of the Spaniards.
At last they were told plainly
that they would be allowed to
parley no longer and that if
they did not come to terms
at once that they would
have fire opened on them.
They came around at once
and there was no further
trouble. The terms of the sur
render will be found in an
other column.
General Toral turned his
sword over the General Shat
ter who is deserving of all the
credit for the reduction of the
city. The sword was return
ed to its brave owner by the
chivalrous Shafter.
A gun boat and two hun
dred men which were left in
the harbor by Cervera have
surrendered and prize crew
have been placed on her.
1t is reported that a landing
may be made in Porto Rico
this week and every detail
about the new expedition is
to be pushed rapidly.
Watson's squadron is near
ly ready to move and is
awaiting orders to proceed to
Spain. The Kingdom is in a
panic at the promised vista
ton.
Two hundred thousand
Spanish troops are under arms
in order to put down the Car
list uprisings which are mo-
mentarily expected to take
place in the country. A num-
Der Of provinces are affected.
General Chambers Nc
Kibben has been appointed
military governor of Santiago
and he will take charge of the
place at once.

CHIcKAMAuGA PARK, July IS
The soldiers are hard at work to-day
in spite of the heat All the regi-
ments here feel that they will be
sent to Porto Rico which is general
~ believed to be the next point of at
tack. The West Virginia regiment
especially feels that it will be sent
as it has been designated as one
of the first to go in case any troops
are moved from the Park.
Gent Brooke is in Washington
and the regiment belongs to his
corps so they expect to go if ne is
given charge of the expedition and
they think that he will be.
Rush orders have been given to
supply all the needed mater
ial to the various regiments and
in few minutes they can be gotten
ready to take the field.
WASHINGTON, July IS.-General
Brooke will command the expedition
to Porto Rico and he has been in
frequent consultation with the war
department in regard to the plan to
be followed in taking it.
The department is anxious to re-
duce the island by the first of next
month
The First West Virginia is one of
the regiments in the First Corps
which is to go under Gen'l Brooke.
SANTIAGO, July 1S.-The Spanish
have given up the city completely
and are being disarmed. The Amer
lean flag now floats over the city
and when it was raised the troops
went wild. They eheered themselves
hoarse and the bands played ma
tional airs.
There has been sixteen new cases
of fever and the situation has be-
come somewhat less alarming. The
sanitary condition of the camp is
being looked after closely and the
men are not expected to suffer very
greatly from the disease if they can
get away pretty soon to a better eli
mate

that the authorities intend to keep

An Interesting Question which 10 Occupying
the Attention OF Cyclists.
Among cyclists who have been riding for one
or moro seasons 1t Is at present probably less q
question what wheel they will ride next year
than It 10 what gear they will select. In con-
Sldering the matter, riders, even those Of
experience and judgment. get confused. Their
confusion comes because they enter a laby.
rinth Of detail and forget certain funda-
mental principles, which are as enduring
as the law Of gravitation. Every bicycle rider
who takes himself and his machine seriously
In seeking the greatest pleasure and the great
est comfort should learn a few rudimentary
principles 80 thoroughly that they would be REQ
oRniAed wherever met. The most important Of
these Is the axiom that all speed Is at the OK
pense OF power. There are thousands OF riders
who could well afford to paste this in their
cycling caps. II a rider travels ten miles In one
hour with a 10 gear no will put forth q given
amount OF power. II he has an 80 gear and COW
ers ten miles In an hour, II may be easier on his
muscles. but he has expended precisely the same
amount Of power. He may have applied 1t
through a different distribution, more suitable
to his physique. but that 10 all.
The question of gear 10 entirely one OF adApta-
bility. For the average run of riders the slow
movement and decided pressure OF a high gear
