war AnsId and A1iOat.

A generation has passed since the
battle cry OF America was sllenced by
the Angel OF Peace; SO long an interval
that even veterans have almost forgot
ten the part they played in the great
tragedy, while the masses, being with
out experience, have no appreciation OF
the true Significance Of war. Aroused
from our happy reVeries and peaceful
pursuits by Cuba's appeals and Spaln's
inhumanIties, the plowshare again
gives place to the sword, and the ma
tional emblem Is flung to the breeze
amid bugle blast and drum beat, that
echoes from shore to shore. Our Ma
ton In War" Is the Photographic record
OF this conflict against Spanish barbar-
ism and cruelty, which will picture bV
photograph and graphic drawings the
chIeflncldents Of our conilictwlth Spain,
and by reproduction OF the most famous
paintings In the galleries OF states and
the nation, VIII illustrate the memoir
able events of American history; noted
battles by land and sea: incidents OF
thrilling herolsm; and representations
OF the ships, weapons, Qualifications, and
military resources of the country, thus
presenting plctorIally and descriptively
the struggles and the victories OF the
nlted States from 1915 10 1898. Each
weekly number will contain sixteen or
more stirring and instructive photo
graphs OF noted paintings and actual
scenes connected with the wars Of the
century, showing effectively. aided by
brief but well-drawn text, the decisive
engagements and personal herolsm that
have nightly influenced the nation,
and make us the supreme power in the
western hemisphere.

And I've heard in the Spanish army,

And some careless, awkward Spapiard
Might shoot me in the back.

The story is an Interesting one,

For about twenty or twenty
five years, according to the ever

means of a chart selecting GER

WALTER LETTER.
A Condensed ChronIcling of the
Happenings of a Week.
Walter, N c., Apr 5


DEAR ARGUS:-The recent
rains. which were very much
needed, have had a decidedly
beneficial effect upon the crops,
especially the small grain, of
which there is a larger acreage
than usual, and mere promising
prospects for a large yield. But
the cool weather which has pre-
yelled for several days has
caused our numerous truckers to
have long faces. especially those
who have beans coming up. Corn
planting is now the order of the
day, al the moor is now right,
for a good stand, and large yield.
Mrs. Isaac Smith spent sev>
eral days with her sister. Mrs.
Fl. D. Wells. near Princeton, last
week.
Mr. Gao. Pipkin has been at
home several weeks, from Tur-
ilngton Institute nursing a bad
arm, the result of vaccination,
but returned last week.
Miss Mary Pipkin, who has
been teaching on the "South
Slde," returned to Smithfield
with her brother, George. to pur-
sue her course of studies at the
excellent school there.
Our friend, Mr.. J. W. Rose,
has corn nearly large enough to
pillow. but from the feeling of the
atmosphere now, We would not
wonder if a good deal does not
have to be planted again.
Misses Lula Yelverton, from
Stantonsburg, and Fannie Jones,
from near G%oIdsboro, visited at
Mr.. George Becton's Saturday
night and Sunday.
Rev. A. L. Ormond and family,
Of Smithfeld, were here Satur.
day and Sunday visiting Mrs.
Ormond's parents. Col. and Mrs.
M. &. Crawford.
Mr.. Adolph Sasser, of Smiths
field. who has many friends in
the community, visited relatives
here Saturday night and Sunday,
returning home Monday morn
ing.
Mr. Alex Edgerton, from the
Pinkney section, was visiting
special friends. near here, Sun
day.
Miss Lula Edwards, from
Goldsboro, is visiting Misses
Matte and Dixie Lee Caldwell
at Southern Oaks"
Mr.. and Mrs, Fred Cox, from
"Southside," we're visiting Mrs,
Cox's parents, Mr.. and Mrs.
Joshua Hines, Saturday aud
Sunday.
Rev. Mr.. Startling filed bis reg
ular appointment at Ebenezer Sun
day, and was the guest OF Mr..
Jno. Smith. He was accompano
led by Miss Ella Vail, from the
Salem section.
A fire on Mr.. Billy Grantham's
place, near Ebenezer, did much
damage to the fences in its course
last week, and but for being ex-
tinguished in time, would have en-
dangered the barn and residence
of our good friend Mr.. Dock
Hines.
There was quite a crowd at the
school house last Friday night, it
being the closing exercises of Mrs.
Ophella CraWford's school. A
very entertaining programme had
been arranged and the students ac-
quilted themselves creditably,
