NOTES FROM THE COUNTRY
TO the Editor OF the Optic.

To the Editor OF the Optic.
Los ALAEos, Aug. S.--We had q very
heavy aud persistent rain Sunday. 1t was
a continued pourdown from to Z p. m.
and without any thunder or lightning or
hail accompaniment. So it was the most
beneficial rain we have had this year.
The crops along the SapeIlo river have not
looked SO fine and healthy and sLundant
in fifteen years; and heavy crop. espe-
cially Of wheat, is looked for. Farmers
are busy .(wben the weather permits) cut
ting wheat and oats are ready to follow
suit, having escaped the hail SO far, Our
farmers are jubllant, and may it be the
Lords will that we will not suffer from
hail.
Yesterday your correspondent was at
Sapello. Ths church there has undergone
a complete course of repair and remodeling,
and is now one Of the NEST substantial and
we'll modelled churches outside Of our large
cities. The people, by voluntary work, are
now plastering the outside, and when they
finish 1t will be a pleasure fer ali, whereas
heretofore it was not. The accomplish
ment Of this work is greatly due to our
energetic and good laboring pastor, Rev
]. B. Marillar.
By the way, you folks must not believe
that SapelIo is not patriotic. Your cores
poneent was present when Mr.. Napolean
Fountain and his wife presented them
selves as godparents for child to Rev.
Mariller, at Sapello, and here is the name
given the child-Ignatius George Dewey
Flores.
Rev. Fra Leone, s. j., being caught In
the rain storm. came to Los Alamos where
he passed the night as the guest OF his

Those Captured at Santiago May be Issued
Tn Our Troops.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 10.-Col. Borup,
of the Ordnance Department, has re-
ported to the chief of ordnance of the
army that he has received of the cap
tured arms at Santiago 1000 Spanish
Mausers and 1000 Argenta Mausers.
1t is estimated that there are 10. 600, 600
rounds Of ammunition, but he has not
had time to make examination and
count of this portion of captured ord
nance. The rifles which he has ex-
smined are in good condition and
to be issued at once to the
troops. 1t is expected that as many
more pieces of small arms will be re-
ceived from outlying points near San
tiago, the 5000 being those taken with
the troops in Santiago.

Eva Jacobs (nee Sales was born
Feb. 5, 1871, departed this life June
g, 1898. She was the wife of w.
r. Jacobs and the mother of four
children. 1t is a sad bereavement
that has come to the devoted hus-
band. 1t is sadder still, if possible,
to these sorrowing children, depriv-
ed thus of a mothers tender care
and affection. She was converted
in early life, united with the Baptist
Church, in the fellowship of which
church she continued until death.
In all the relations of life she was
the exemplary, faithful christian.
She never lost sight of the fact that
she belonged to the church of God.
Quiet, transformations, her life was
uniformly consistent and pure, and
was felt as power only for good
by all who came in contact with
her. She felt, as every wife and
mother should feel, that her great
work was in her home, to bless and
keep husband and children, to make
home pure-a christian homeland
its inmates happy. For two years
her health had been failing, but she
bore her Affections with patience
and when death claimed her she
only exchanged the sufferings and
sorrows of this life for the joys of
heaven and immortality. Her pas
tor was always glad when the time
came for him to visit her home, her
most enjoyable subject was religion.
The Lord saw fit to take her away
from her family, from that devoted
husband who now sorrowfully walks
through life, endeavoring to guide
Alright his four motherless children.
God grant that they may form an
unbroken family in heaven Her
death was triumphant. Her ex-
preston with regard to the future
was: cit is bright as sunshine"
She was conscious to the very last.
She frequently asked her friends to
sing. Among the number of songs
she invariably selected Thoughts
Of Home" May the consultations
Of that grace which alone can sus-
ain, be afforded her stricken hus-
band and family and the wide circle
If sorrowing kinspeople and friends.
TO her loved ones we would say,
live as she did, and you too will
Don be garnered in" FRIEND.

THERE are several planks in the
platform upon which Mr.. McMillin
was nominated that, if carried out,
will rebound to the benefit of the
tax payers, notably, the reduction of
criminal court costs, the adjustment
of unnecessary offices, the reduction
of the state debt, the covering of
fees of coal oil inspectors into the
state treasury over a certain amount.
If Mr.. McMillin is elected and car
ries out these necessary and badly
needed reliefs, he will deserve well
at the hands of Tennesseans; but if
he surrenders to a horde of unscru-
pulous advisers and allows matters to
go from bad to worse, his political
career will be ended. The time has
come when a halt should be called
in the extravagant expenditure of
our public funds, and we hope that
Mr.. McNIillin will be equal to the
occasion.

FROM the report of the chairman
of the county court, which appears
elsewhere, it will be seen that there
was a balance in the county treas
ury on July LIST, of S5,543.34.
The appropriations made at the
July term, the purchase of Shan
mons Code and the work ordered
done on bridges and levees will
consume at least halt of this
amount. The expense of bridge
and levee building is very heavy on
the county, costing annually thous-
ands of dollars. Committees APP
pointed to let contracts of this
character should receive nothing
but first class, substantial work.

Persons troubled with diarrhoea
will be interested in the experience
of Mr.. w. NJ. Bush, clerk of Hotel
Dorrance, Providence K. l. He
says: t'For several years | have
been almost a constant sufferer from
diarrhoea, the frequent attacks com
pletely prostrating me and render
ing me unfit for my duties at this
hotel. About two years ago a
travelling salesman kindly gave me
a small bottle of Chamberlain's
Collie, Cholera and Diarrhoea Rene
dy. Much to my surprise and de-
light it's effects were immediate.
Whenever I felt symptoms of the
disease l would fortify my.
self against the attack with few
doses of the valuable remedy. The
result has been very satisfactory
and almost complete relief from the
affliction." For sale by w. j..

Picnic Wednesday at Dun

cess. The dinner, which was
an important feature of the
day, was plenteous and good,
consisting of the best eata-
bles imaginable, and all
feasted until our appetites
were fully content, leaving
an abundance of good things
undevoured. Swinging, fly
ing, games, music, singing,
ETC., were freely participated
in by all. One of the most
enjoyable features was guitar
music and singing and recit-
ing of "America's Court
ship" by Miss Annie Lou
Spight, of Decatur, Alabama,
which was indeed appreciate
ed by all. In behalf of the
school, we extend thanks to
Misses Spight, Anderson,

presence and for adding so
much to the pleasures of the
