TAKES HIS DEPARTURE.

Moved by the profoundest feel ings of regret in leaving Brinkley- I feel it my duty and wish to bid the many warm friends l made while here, adieu. l believe that some of the biggest-hearted, most wholesouled people in the world live in Brinkley, and while l was not interested in their commercial welfare any more than pecuniary way of a salary. yet they received me hospitably and treated me as a citizen and as tone of the family" and it is appreciated the more from the fact that 1 came among them mere stranger. Where ever and whenever 1t comes within my power to ''put" in "good wordn for Brinkley and her noble people, I will do so enthusiastical- ly and defy the world to gainsay it. As we must pass through sun shine and shadow alike in this world, and the best of friends have to part, with a heart filled to overfowing with sadness, in my humble way, l can but ask to kind ly be remembered, and take my departure with inexpressible re- luctance in person, but not in spirit. May their happiness and prosperity in this world go hand in hand.

are uncertain and the United | States fleet is not advertising its
 purpose. While 1t is true that
 actual hostilities have occurred,
 no positive engagement is record ed. It is the evident purpose of
 the United States fleet to enforce
 blockade of Cuban ports, if pos
 sible, without resorting to harsh
 measures, but the general opinion
 is that bombardment will be nec-
 essary, and further, that active
 fighting will be made necessary by the force of circumstances The present week will no doubt bring numerous sensations if it does not bring several engagements be- tween the war vessels of the United States and Spain. Presi
 dent Mckinley has issued call for 125,O0O volunteers and the response will be heard from the Atlantic to the Pacific and from Maine to the gulf. Troops are
 rushing to the coast and in five days a great army will be mobil-
 ized at convenient reach from Key West. The result of the present conflict cannot be foretold. It is no use to blind ourselves with the delusion that an easy victory awaits us. We must fight to free Cuba, and there will be much bloodshed before the Span iards are driven from the island. Now that we are engaged in war, there is nothing left for us to do but to drive the Spaniards from Ehe western hemisphere, and Tn the end we shall do It. We must not deceive ourselves, however, concerning the magnitude of our lndeltaking.-Little Rock Demo- :rat.
