 Little Robert Neelly, three year old son of Mir. and Mrs. J R. Neelly. died at SIX o'clock Tuesday morning at his home on Church Street.
 The sudden death of thls bright and beautiful child was attended by circumstances of peculiar sadness.
 Sunday afternoon the little fellow swallowed a watermelon seed which lodged in his wind pipe and although he did not complain his father at once moned a physician. Ap- parenlly there was nothing wrong, and it was hoped that the seed would pass away with out doing any harm. Until Tuesday the child was ln fine spirits, and played about the yard talking and laughing all afternoon, but after supper he coughed and fretted considera bly before going to sleep. About 9 o'clock he woke up, breathing with great difficulty, and seemed to be suffering with croup.
 Physicians were immediately summoned, and realizing that their little patient was in a most plecaiious condition they

The Climate of the South.

A great many people are de- tered from moving South by a dread of the heat of summer. They recognize the surpassing advantages of the South, but they imagine that the summer is period of fierce and burn ing heat. IT such persons would visit the South in sum- mer they would learn that the heat is not more intense and burdensome than in the north. This has been so often shown in the Southern states by statistics from the United States weather bureau, and by the testimony of Northern peo- pie living South, that demon 
 stration need not be repeated here. Besides, the purpose of this paragraph is simply to urge all persons who are going South on tours of investigation with a view to possible settle ment there to go in midsummer and find out for themselves.

How Lawson Met Death.

A correspondent at Chicka-
 mauga in writing to the Fort
 Smith News Record gives the
 following particulars ofthe acci
 dental killing of Wm. Lawson
 of Co. D a few days ago.
 "The accident happened in
 this way. The four companies
 of our battalion camped at a
 rifle range some three miles
 from our regular camp Thurs
 day, Friday and Saturday, On
 the last named day we laid down while we fired at 200 yard targets, four men shooting at once at as many different
 targets. When the last com pany, the Springdale men, went to the range, Lawson volnn
 teered to get in the pit in front of the target and mark for them, assisting two men named Clark and Burton. Boydston,
 Allbaugh, Brown and Barnwell lay down and fired two or three shots, and the bngle sounded for the markers to lie down So that the four men might fire their last volley. After the bngle call Clark discovered that he had made mistake in calling Allbaugh's second shot, and he didn't get down in the pit when Burton and Lawson did, but remained up in front of the target with the red flag up. Clark called out that All baugh got five instead of noth ing and Lawson, being nearer the caller than Clark, rose to repeat the change. Lawson had his left side toward the marksmen and lie had barely in front of the fourth target when Allbaugh, Brown and Barnwell fired, barnwell | shooting at No. 1 target, hit Lawson just above his left tenn pie crushing the top of his skull. This occurred at 12I noon and life was extinct at l2:52 p. m.
 "lt was marvellous that Clark was not hit, He heard bull let whiZ close 10 him. To do the -marhsmen justice, the red flag was small affair and not likely tO attract much attention from men lying down 200 yards away"

 CUBA, July 20, 1S9S.-Jno. P.
 Stafford, Springdale, Ark. Els. TEEMED FRIEND: Perhaps the readers of your valuable paper
 will be glad to have a word from the scene of battle. Of course you have read all about it long ago. but I will try and give you a brief account of it as I saw it.
 We were enjoying all the comfort one could expect at Tampa, Fla, when there came
 the order to go aboard the ships on June 6. We hurried to the docks and were crowded on board and all ready to go.
 When we were on the point of sailing an order came holding us, so there we were for seven days packed like sardines in a box. Then we sailed and Ian ded on Cuban soil June p when the fun began. It was march and skirmish through hills and mountains towards Santiago. July 1st we engaged tbe enemy, and had a hard battle. The fighting began early Tn the morning and lasted all day. We slept on the firing line and began al day-break On the 2nd and fought all day, driving the enemy from their breast works back into town. Then we had lost so many of our noble boys that the general gave orders tol not charge any more but en trench ourselves and lay siege to the city. We shut off the water supply and surrounded the town so they could not get supplies of any kind Tlus1 we lay guarding the foe. Some times fighting at long range, until July 14th when the Span ish general came out and sur rendered on the l7th al 12 m. Two vast armies lined up fac ing each other, one to lay down their arms. the other to shout three cheers for the red, white and blue. Then the Spanish flag was taken down and grand old glory raised in stead, and 15000 trus American boys un- covered their heads 10 th burning sun while the national salute was fired and the bands played the Star Spangled Banner" and many other na tional airs. It was the grand | est day we have had in Cuba.
 l am very sorry to say we lost POOP of our noble boys killed and wounded. But the dead fill an honored grave and the wounded will get every at tention that can be given them.
 Thus the great victory of San tiago d. Cuba has been won. The Yankee Pigs" as the Spaniards call us, have turned ont 10 be hogs with bristles on their backs.
