Sunday.

The Courier-Journal says: 1.-THE
press censor at Tampa at last per-
mits the strength "f the Santiago
expedition to be telegraphed. There
are 170O0 men in all, comprising
nearly twenty regiments of regular
infantry, two of volunteers, 5000
cavalry, 300 light artillerymen and
200 heavy artillerymen, 200 engineers
and hospital corps of 800. Not a
recruit was taken in the regular
army. There are thirty-siX vessels
in the fleet, not counting the con-
voys. Since most of this force
consists of regulars, who did not
need to be held for equipment or for
recruits, it is more difficult than
ever to account for the long delay in
starting the troops to Cuba, on any
other ground than executive in
efficiency somewhere"

Grocery Argument.

We consider it a duty of every grocer
to sell good and wholesome things to eat.
But there are so many limitations and
substitutes nOwadays-such fierce strug-
gle to sell things ''cheap' the market
is Oyer-run with foods that will not stand
the test of scrutiny.
grocer may be perfectly honest and
still sell unwhoesOme foods. He NAV buy
goods that he believes to be albright, but
his lack of discrimination, and intimate
knowledge of the subject-his inexperience
in the business-prevents him from know
ing positively what he is buying and what
he is selling.
We are putting forth every effort to
give our customers not only the best and
purest things to eat, but to give them every
advantage in the way of low prices that our
extensive business makes possible. A large
business like ours can buy cheap, because we
buy much, and from first hands.
We endeavor to keep our store in as
tidy Il condition as the careful housewife
keeps her home.
The Best Food, Smallest Prices, Quail
ity Considered, is our MOTTO

Almost a Fire

Last Tuesday night the residence
of DIR. Peirce, on west Main street,
caught on fire on the roof. The
alarm was sounded, and the fire
company responded promptly, but
their services were scarcely needed,
as the fire was discovered before
gaining much Roadway, and was
easily extinguished. Services were
in progress at the time in the Meth
odist church, and there was quite a
stampede. After the fire the con
gregation returned, and services
were continued.
