In view Of the sact that war operations
are now taking place near the Cuban
coast. the following information will be
of interest to our readers: Cuba is about
$50 miles in length and averages about 20
miles in width. Key West Is some 50 miles
north of Havana, and Is about the same
distance from the Florida coast, in q
southwesterly direction; while the Dry
TortuRas are about 60 miles from Key
West. Tampa. Florida, IS about $50
miles north of Key West. Any news of
affairs at Havana has to be taken by dis
patch boat to Key West. and wired from
there. In land campaign the cores.
pondents Of the great dsilies are with the
army; but in naval engagements they
have to be in separate boats, - in an en-
gagement, If they, we're on the men-of-
war, they would be 10 the way, and they
would also be without proper facilities
for getting their reports to their news
papers. So the great news.gathering
agencies charter from three TO ten boats.
The reporters get the facts while cruising
on these bosss, and then send dispatch
boat to the nearest telegraph station and
forward their reports. 1t is owing to
these difficulties that news is sometimes
slow in coming, and, 10 the meantime,
many wild rumors go flying around.

THIs is what ex.President Harrison
says In regard to tax dodging: "The
tax-paying conscience is dulled iu times
of peace. When ravaging foe threatens
a population with fire and sword, men
appreciate the defense which the govern.
ment interposes between them and danger,
want to emphasize, if can, the thought
that the preservation of this principle of
a proportionate contribution, according
to tie true value of what each man. has,
to the public expenditures, is essential to
the maintenance of our free institutions
and of peace and good order in our COM
muuities. We must inaugurate--and at
once--a system that will equalize tax
burdens. The men of wealth in our
great communities should lead the move
ment. Mr.. Lincoln's startling declara-
ton that this country could not continue
to exist half slave and half free may be
paraphrased to-day by saying that this
country cannot continue to exist half
taxed and half free. This sense of in
equality breathes fierce and unmeasur-
ing anger. 1t creates classes, intensifies
social differences, and makes men willing
to pay their debts in half.dollars."

The undersigned de-

lie that he has changed
his plan Of campaign.
He has given up the ho-
tel business, the grocery
business and the drug
store business, and now
he is going to take up
something that will fill
a long-felt want. Here
tofore. when any one,
and particularly a stran-
ger, has wanted to take
up a claim or buy rail-
road land, he has gener-
ally been all at sea as to
where the best lands
are situated. But I can
change all that. In my
business as a wolf-hun-
ter, I have travelled time
and again in all parts Of
EN- MS county. i
know where the good
land is-where there is
water, where there is
hay, and where there
are signs Of coal. 1t

locating you on good
land. Call on me at
Glencoe at any time and
talk over land matters.

WITH the building of the 800" rail
road. there will be large increase of
population in this county. Without
being overcrowded, this county could
sustain three times the population 1t has
got, and still leave big lot of rough land
for grazing purposes. When there is
family on every half-sectiop, people will
learn that hay aud fodder of good
many kinds can be profitable raised here.
OF course it won't be raised as long as
there is plenty of vacant land on which
hay can be cut. But it can be raised, and
the best Of it is that it Can he kept over

THERE is nothing startling in the war

THERE is nothing startling in the war
news since last report. Congress prompt
ly passed formal declaration of war,
which was signed by the president. The
U. 8. men.of.war near the Cuban coast
have captured number OF Spanish MGR
chantmen; but, as the Spaniards have
given American ships thirty days within
which to leave Spanish ports, it is said
that the captured ships will be returned.
1t is not customary for belligerent to
begin gobbling the enemy's merchant
ships without giving them fair warning.
1t isn't likely that Uncle Sam will do
anything mean any wrong that he
won't right when it's pointed out to him.
Tie feet under Rear Admiral Sampson is
bockading the northern coast of Cuba.
The reason that the southern portion is
not blockaded is that it is not necessary.
as there are no railroads from points on
the southern coast over which supplies
can reach the Spanish troops at Havana
and other places where they are conccn-
trated. 1t is said that the Spanish feet
has left the Cape Verde islands, off the
western coast of Africa and week or
ten days sail from Cuba. Admiral Dew
ew's fleet has left Hong Kong for the
Philippine islands, belonging to Spain.
These islands are but few days sail
from Hong Kong. There is Spanish
ieet at Manila, the chief port, and it is
believed that the first naval battle of the
war will take place near there. The
President has called for 125,0OO volun.

will at once be opened with the insurgent

government will furnish the Cubans with
plenty of small arms field batteries, and
ammunition. A goodly portion of the
regular army will also be sent to Cuba
within week or ten days. There has
been no exchange of shots between the
feet and the shore batteries at Havana.
