the Colon, That ship, in desperation,
was ploughing the water at q rate that
caused the fast Brooklyn trouble. The
Oregon made great speed and the Texas
made the effort of her life.
Straight into the west ran the strong

Ign headed che pursuers. The desperate
Don kept close in shore, now and then
throwing a shell In defense. The
Brooklyn, well out TO sea, gradually
forged ahead, and at 1:15 the gallant

Correspondence Of the Progressive Farmer.
AS we have not seen anything in
FHE PROGRESSIVE FARMER from this
neck of the woods for sometime, we
will let the boys know that we r still
in the ring. We received q note from
q friend the other day and among his
other wants he wanted TO know il we
had joined the army. We will say to
all, we have Motive want Uncle Sam
TO wipe Spain from the Western hem
isphere, and IL they get much of q bow
in their back about that, then we want
you, Uncle Sam, to wipe them of the
map. And there are plenty of the
boys to do the work. As for us, we
are not going, unless they will organ
ize a regiment Of colonies and make us
quartermsrter of said regiment. And
they must keep the regiment in the
shade in hot weather.
There are several reasons why we
don't want to go to Cuba. We don't
want to get on a boat for fear of being
attacked by SpaniRrds on the way;
we can't swim; the water too deep to
wade, and then, it is said to be un-
healthy when you get there; and in adj
dition to all the above, it is said the
Spaniards are very careless about
handling fire arms when strangers are
around. We have had q little expert
ence that was not satisfactory by mon
keying around where awkward people
were handling muskets. For the above.
reasons (and several others) we will
not be there.
What has become Of all the Alliance
brethren Of the State9 We fell to see
the regular number Of letters in THE
PROGRESSIVE FARMER that we should

that could promised to write, and the
few that could not write said they

The last issue of THE PROGRESSIVE
FARMER should have had notices Of at
least so County Alliance meetings and
the names OF SONS good speakers who
would address the different County
meetings.
Instead of 80 We noticed 2-that Of
Bro. ". N. SeaweII and that Of Bro. N.

be SO. You can't afford to lag in Ali
ance matters. Your teachings have
brought the old political parties 70
their knees. Your organisation il
needed today. You have property I'd
look after. Your County meetings
viii come off on July 14sh You should
have your Sub. meetings, elect q Ulcers,
send your best men as delegates 60 she
County Alliance, have q speaker al

Iwish to thank my customers and
friends for their liberal patronage in
