We learn that the candidacy
Of Mr.. L. G. Guidry is getting po-
pular in this part of the parish,
and the belief seems to be that
only Mr.. Guidry or DIR. Arthur
Guilbeau could defeat the Rees-
Fournet combination. These peo-
pie, if their idea is really to open
a political campaign, will have to
bear in mind that the ring is
strong, and it would require hard
fighting to beat them.
The Democrats of Iberia pa
IRISH have instructed their dele

the Democrats of st. Martin in

votes for Judge Edw. Simon? We
hope they will because Judge 81
mon would make a good Railroad
commissioner-in fact he would
be better qualified than many of
the candidates mentioned.
If the farmers are not liars, we
have the finest cane crop ever seen
in this parish. We had a stalk of
cane coming from Mr.. Louis Ro-
gers field, Arnaudville, that was
red seven feet, and the top of the
leaves reached a height of four
teen feet, and yet, we have not
seen one single planter who could
not beat that. If they spoke the
truth, and can really beat this
cane, well, we proclaim that this
years crop is the finest ever raj
sed in st. Martin parish.

The officials of Spain gave the

citable populaces in broken doses.
The true report of the battle was
withheld by the officials and news.
papers, and at first it was officially
stated that Cervera had escaped
and given the Americans a good
licking; then the announcement
was bulletined that they had lost
two little torpedo boat destroyers;
later on the Dons began to open
their eyes when they were informed
that two of their cruisers were also
destroyed, and finally Sagasta gave
up the ghost and poured the whole
dose down the Spaniards' throats.
From the reports given out at
Madrid it appears that the medicine
is having very bad effects, and riots
among the people are imminent.
President Mckinley issued a
proclamation asking the people, in
recognition of the Divine hand thai
has favored our cause, to bow their
heads before the throne of grace
and offer Thanksgiving to Almighty
God and pray for the speedy restora-
ton of peace.
Linares, the Spanish General at
Santiago, still holds out and utterly
refuses to surrender the city to Shat
ter. Sampson has not entered San
tiago harbor, Moro has not been de-
stroyed, and Shafter has not yet
commenced the bombardment of the
city. This was the way matters
stood in those quarters when the
last news reached Washington yes
terday. Shafter is awaiting REIN
forcements, and he will not advance
upon the city until these arrive.
The government is supplying his
wants with all possible haste, and
be will doubtless be ready in a few

Messrs. Polk Goodwin and r. b.

Since the first of this week they

Some Of Maury county's farmers
are making extraordinarily large
wheat yields this year. Usually a
farmer is lucky if he reaps 20 bushels
from an acre, and 30 bushels is CON
si0ered very good; but when it comes
to getting 40 bushels he has about
reached the highest notch. Several
farmers in Maury county, however,
have made this enormous yield,
those coming to our notice being,
Henry Pointer, who averaged 40
bushels on SO acres; JnO. M. Gray,
who made 40 bushels per acre on
several Of his fields, and Austin Har-
Ian, whose % acres of land brought
him 1000 bushels. A large number
of farmers made an average of more
than 80 bushels to the acre. Will
Ridley threshed 1900 bushels from
800 acres.
