The war situation is getting into a
somewhat peculiar condition. While
efforts are being made to bring about
peace, fighting ls still going on.

and uncertain that Uncle Sam wants
Spain to amend.
In Porto Rico Miles is marching
on and rapidly taking possession Of
the island In Cuba matters are
tranquil except that many of our
soldiers are sick. Skaters army ia
being sent north, No further cam.
paigniug will be done before fall.

pulsed with great loss. Our loss was
eleven killed and forty.four woundeed
All the troops and war ships have
reached Dewey aud Merrett. II is
only a question Of few days before
the city Of Manila will be captured.

A new firm has been organized in
our city, aud will do business under
the name Of Theo. Smith & Son.
Theodore Smith aud Karl Smith are
so well known that newspaper

Theodore Smith came here some nine
years ago and embarked in the hard
ware, lumber and coal business. At
first the stocks were not large, but as
business grew additions were made
in oil departments, and new ones
added until they have grown to he
the heaviest 10 this section. Theodore
'Smith'syesrs of experience started the
work, and he has brought up his son
Karl with thorough practical knowl-
edge Of the different lines the firm
carries. During the past few years
the father has placed upon the shout
ders OF the son many Of the perplex-
ing burdens Of mercantile life, 30
that IN no small measure is the growth
aud present magnitude of the busi-
ness due to the careful attention and
shrewd ability shown by the young
subject of tina article, whose labors
have been rewarded by recognition
we'll earned As in the past so in the
future, the growth will continue. The
old firm has prospered, may the new
one continue to do so. Success to
the now firm.
