GIvENs-BALLANCE.-At the resi-
dences of the brides father, Mr.. j. H.
Balance, three miles from Montgom-
cry, La, on Sunday evening, ut 4
O'Clock, Mr.. George N. Givens and
Miss Ollie Balance, Rev. j. W. Lee,
officiating.
This game Of cupid held us in sus-
pense for some time, and eliminated
when we least expected it, and was q
surprise to even their nearest friends.
This impr0mptu occasion afforded
all Of the attendants a most pleasant
evening, the entire programme hav-
ing been in strict harmony with the
blessed day on which the celebration
took place, and all present seemed so
happy and cheerful.
The bride was as mOdestly and
beautifully dressed as / ever saw-a
combination Of beauty and simplici-
ty, with not q particle of vain display
in the whole attire, and l frankly
confess that ] never saw but one
bride in all of my life that might
have been q sweeter specimen of
beauty than was Miss Ollie on this
occasion.
As to the bridegroom, he was adorn-
ed in q new black suit he had in re-
serve. He has been expecting some
thing to happen for a long time, and
was ready. 1t is useless to say he
looked handsome, for George is hand
some in his every day garb.
After many nice and impressive con-
gratulations had been made, the
brides father came forward, taking
them by the hand, and with con-
strained emotions, and in a kind and
impressive tone said, George, be q
good boy" realizing that in this rests
the happiness of his child.
George and Miss Ollie entered this
blessed state knowing that life is
just what We make it" and with this
practical idea before them, their home,
let it be cottage or mansion, will be a
happy one. Let us pray that they
may SOW good seed in each Others
lives, and both continually reap an
abundant harvest of joy and peace.
May Gods choicest blessings rest on
the happy pair. A FRIEND.

matured for an American invasion of
the peninsula when the Virginius affair
was under consideration, but happily,
Spanish honor at that time did not de-
mand the contemplated attack, ana
1t is not likely to invite such pro-
ceedings now. The prospect is good
for an early termination of the war

hemisphere.

OUR FLAG IN CUBA.

For the first time in the history of the
world. the flag of the United States has
been unfured on the soil of Cuba.
A brief dispatch in today's News
announces that the American scouts
succeeded in making a Junction with
the insurgents; sharp engagement
followed soon after. In which sixteen
s;panards were killed and sixty
wounded. the remainder being put to
flight. During the encounter the Stars
and Stripes fioated proudly In the
breeze alongside the beautiful emblem
of Cuba Libre, and under these united
symbols of freedom the victory was
accomplished.
This war is not only proving itself
maker OF epochs, but of swift and sur
prising climaxes as well. 1t was all an
ticipnted in general way. but the
working out OF the details Is something
at which the thinking world may stand
agape and after its amazement Is
vented, ponder over.
Cuba is to be free. II Is more than
probable that the Philippines are al
ready free. Thus are the DEGREES Of

AS TO THE PHILIPPINES.

Before long the question will be dis
cussed what to do with the Philippine
islands. Four nations, viz, the United
States, England. Russia and Japan.
are particularly interested in that
question. By the military occupation
OF those islands and the driving out Of
the spaniards, they are left virtually
without nm administration, and upon
this country rests the responsibility of
providing form of government that
will bring n measure of political and
religious liberty to the unfortunate in
habitants, as well as make the infinite
resources of those delightful regions
available to the rest OF mankind. How
this best can be done will have to be
decided in near future. The only
thing 10 far settled IL. that Spain
should never again be allowed to es-
tabllsh a rule Of oppression there.
Great Britain has demonstrated her
ability to govern foreign colonies to
the satisfaction of the natives. as Is
evidenced by the condition of the
Straits Settlements. and probably Rus
STA could, by proper compensation in

entire rroup of islands over to Eng
land. Japan. too might he considered

hut that country is rather n young

probably there would be serious OBJ
tections on the mart of the mikndo's
friends to STRENGTHENING his hands by
the addition to his domain of another
ten millions of subjects. many of whom
have shown themselves MS persistent
fighters against great odds. ON the
whole 1t is impossible to doubt that
the interests OF the Philippines would
be safer in the hands of Great Britain
than Japan.
The United States must have n de-
Gliding voice In this matter. European
nations have a habit of silently watch
ing two combatants and then stepping
in and debating the terms of peace and
dividing the spoils This was done in

PROSPECTS OF PEACE.

The latest movement of Admiral
SIMPSONS fleet seems TO Indicate that
the Spanish vessels recently stationed
at Cape Verde Islands are expected to
turn up somewhere o.. this side OF the
Atlantic. If t.ns supposition is cor
rect, we will soon hear of an engage
ment similar to that off Manlla--per,
hape the last one OF the present war:
for when SPANS naval forces in both
oceans have become crippled, her
honor is presumably sufficiently vim
cheated to allow her to listen to rea-
son. and the time will be opportune for
peace overtures.

coffee drinkers twenty-eight millions,
