The most serious objection to the

about go insurgents in the mountain $
near here. We have had enc light and c
hard ono Four men were wounded In
the fight and two on outposts. The lat
ter were attacked by one Bolo man. He
jumped on them by surprise. We are
more afraid of them than we are OF the
rifles. The bushes are SO thick that they
can jump on US at any time. One OF
the two was corporal. He lost his hand
and had bad cut on the head, and the
other was cut near the COLLAR bone. The
bolo Is q very dangerous weapon.
elm the fight II privates, one sergeant
and three Officers of the insurgent army
were killed. They had a fine fort and
fine rifles and ammunition to go with
them. Three of the riDes we're Ameri-
can. We captured eight rifles In all,
They were very poor shots, some of the
ehots going over our heads In the tops OF
trees. Some Of them have lots Of oour-
age and Others have not any. We shot
one five times through and through and
he kept en- firing at us until one of our
men blowed his head of.
1.-THE fort We took was Fort Teorese.
Ne would not have captured it So easi-
ly, but 1t waa raining SO hard that it al
most drowned us all and we caught them
of their post. l wist you could have
seen them in their fort plas ing cards and
having a fine time, thinking that we
would not bother them. We were within
80 yards OF them when we opened fire on
them, women and all. We hated to do 10
Tor the women's sake. but We had to, 1t
was such fine chance to rout. them.
Ne got up bshind them in under the
trenches without being seen. tell you
1t was fine sight to see. l did not seem
10 be frightened at all. l took my time
loading my gun and kept blazing a way.
1t was like killing ducks. That Is hor-
rid remark TO make, but they would cat
us all up in inch pieces If they got u
chance, very quick. We do not even
trust the people in the town where We
are stationed and they sent to US for pro-
lection, too.
''We are in q little town called VIC

cannot spend our money here. We de-
posit 1t with the paymaster, who keeps it

Teachers Association.

For convenience, it has been decided
to have three teachers associations in
stead of but one, one at Holly, one at
Granada and one at Lamar.
The teachers at Granada ave decid
ed to organize next Saturday, November
25th; request comes from Holly to call
meeting there for Saturday, December
9th, and the teachers of Lamar will or
ganize on Saturday December 2nd.
The teachers and patrons of the coun
ty are cordially invited to attend and
participate in the work of all the as
sociations and especially the one nearest
them.
Teachers who have not yet secured
the Reading Circle books, should do SO,
that they may be able to derive the
greatest benefit from the meetings.

1t is reported that j. w. Mace has
sold his home farm west of town and
that he received very fair price for
it. The purchaser has not made a
bad investment if the price is as
reported. 1t is also reported that
Mr.. Mace has purchased the Lamar
Hotel building and furniture and will
either rent the place or conduct it
himself.
E. e. Pike has decided to go into
the grocery business, but not in La
mar He has ordered stock of
goods and will go down into the
Carriso mining district and open up
business, As that section is rap.
IDLY attracting attention it is, with
ont doubt, good move on the part
of Mr.. Pike to get in early. There
is considerable trade around that
section, which will naturally come to
a store located at the mines. 1t is
probable that postoffice will soon
be established there and that a week
