The Oregon's journey Of $4,000
miles, which began with its depar-
ture from San Francisco ON March
%, and which equals a distance of
more than half way round the
globe, is one of the most remark
able voyages which a war ship has
ever made. A far greater distance
was traversed than any naval
vessel Of anything like the Oregon's
weight ever covered in that time.
So far as known not the slightest
disarrangement to the boats ma
cbinery occurred on the way. The
Oreson's trip furnishes fine illus
tration Of the capabilities and sea-
worthiness of American warships.

ATHENA, JUNE 10, 1898.

A number Of our exchanges have
lately been urging their people to
cease sending away from home for
their goods and to patronize their
home merchants. A little advice
ofthis kind would not be amiss for
our people. We hear so many
saying they cannot get what they
want of the home merchant. This
is to some extent true, but it is
also true that the people who send
their money to Chicago and other
places for goods are in a great
measure to blame for their not
having a complete stock of goods.
Trade with your home dealer and
let them know that you depend on
them for your goods and they will
be supplied for you. The rule
should be never to send to other
towns for goods that you can get
of your home merchants. You
may think you save money by
buying in Chicago, but all things
considered you are mistaken. 1t
always pays to help build up your
own town. If you don't believe it,
just try it for one year.

The lessons Of the war are COM

France and Italy have suspend
ed duties on wheat until July 1st.
The French duty is equivalent to
30 cents a bushel The Italian is
rather less, Both are practically
prohibitive, and their suspension
opens up two rich markets that
have been in effect closed hitherto.
Added to this is another piece OF
good news, that Russia--our great

short that a decree has been issued

The present generation has never
witnessed such an outpouring of
the sentiment of patriotism as the
war with Spain has evoked. Never
before have the national colors

Never before has the younger gen.
Grafton of men been SO profoundly
stirred by allusions to the country's
cause.

There is a strong sentiment in
congress against granting any
further appropriation for an Amer
ican exhibit at the Paris exposition
in 1900. The unfriendliness of
the French people toward us in
our conflict with Spain and the i'll
treatment received by Americans
in Paris will probably lead to
national boycott of the Paris ex-
position, and the refusal Of our
people to buy French goods.
Americans have been very lavish
of their money in France, and the
withdrawal of our tourists and our
trade will lead the French to real
ize that their unfriendliness to us
is going TO cost them dear, while
we shall learn that we can do best
by ourselves by spending our time
and money at home.
