Would be Good Idea to Adopt.

An exchange makes the following
sensible suggestion: 1t would be a
good idea for every farmer to place
his name and the name of his farm
on his barn or road gate. Not only
would persons driving to place
more easily find it, but it would add
more pleasure and interest to people
driving from place to place. This
last result would have special effect
with regard to well kept and pretty
houses. An observing person will
seldom pass Il beautiful farm without
a desire to know who is its enter

Commenting on the absence of

United States in the recent war with

money in his pocket to buy his
breakfast, went hungry and bought
a nosegay of vilolcts9 The London
Times in its leader of yesterday re-
calls this trait of the Spanish
disposition only to call attention to
its failure in the supreme hour. The
most romantic and chivalrous of
nations Spain has been accounted,
holding honor above all things else,
and regarding all mere mercenary
considerations with proud disdain.
As for the United States, it has been
commonly placed at the opposite
pole. as not merely practical in the
extreme, but mean-spirited. covetous
and sordid; ready to sacrifice honor
itself for the almighty dollar And

Lieut.. Brumby, Who Performed an
Important Task at Manila, Comes
of Fighting Stock.
Baltimore SAM


Atlanta. Ga, August 17.-Lienten-
ant Brumby. who raised the flag at
Manila, is an Atlanta man.
He comes of fighting stock. His
father. Col. A. V. Brumbv. was a
graduate of West Point. an honored
soldier of the Mexican war, and for
years superintendent Of the Georgia
Military Academy at Marietta.
In 1876 young Brumby was APP
pointed cadet at the Naval Academy,
at Annapolis, where he remained
until his graduation. in 1889. Since
that time he has been in the navy.
That was good idea and plan
adopted in Vance county to apply to
the county commissioners to build a
chapel at the Home for the Aged
and Infirm." This was done and the
commissioners appropriated *215 to
that end, to supplement some out
side subscriptions. 1t will be duty
we'll done and benevolence rightly
applied for this to be followed in

HOW A MAUSER FEELS.
Correspondent Who Was he'd at
Santiago Describes His
Sensatfons

James Creelman, the correspondent
of the New York Journal who was
wounded in the fighting about Santi-
ago. thus describes how it feels to be
hit by a Mauser bullet:
when / was struck by the Mauser
bullet which smashed my arm and
made a gap in my back 1 felt Is if 1
had received a blow with a shut fist.
The sensation was no more and no
less than hat which might have come
from a rough punch given by some
too hilarious friend. There was just
a suspicion of singing after the first
sensation when the bullet struck.
ut whirled me half around, but the
bullet did not have weight enough to
knock me down. / neither felt the
bullet at the point of entry, where the
wound is as small as a gimlet hole,
nor at .he point of exit in the back,
where there is a big gap 81 inches in
diameter.
ut was curious how little sensation
came from the wound at first. The
next moment I felt a numbness in my
arm and a pain in my hand and found
my arm hanging loose like an empty
sleeve, the bone having been broken.
Contrary to the experience of los
men shot by Mausers, / bled a great
deal.
~ curious thing about this wound,
and all the more curious because / did
not feel it at the time. is the fact that
the terrible velocity of the bullet
actually burnt the flesh black as it
left the body. 1t left a ring of charred,
black flesh"
