Rev. H. N. FaulcOner preached at
the Presbyterian church last Sunday.
He was accompanied here by his wife,
and they were the guests of the fami-
ly of r. C. Ford. MiddleSbOrO News.
Mr.. w. S. Myers, of Crab Orchard
was here this week. He was resi-
dent of Lancaster for many years, and
older citizens remember him quite
well. He was kept busy shaking hand
with old friends, who were delighted
to see him.
Ed Walton, of the Stanford Journal
was mingling with the court day
crowd here. He was not very well,
but trudged around through the cold
and mud all day hunting delinquent
subscribers. People would soon see
there is little money in the newspaper
business if the would consider the
fact that paper is sent for about the
cost of printing it, and man has to
80 all the time, sick or well, rain or
shine, to collect what ought to be paid
in advance. Ed is one of the few who
never complains, and never wearies in
well-doing. The world would be bet
ter of, in many ways, if we had more
people like Ed Walton.
The Danville Advocate prints the
following concerning former Lancas-

most continuous travelling for The
Standard Rubber Corporation, of BrOc-
ton, Mass, Mr.. George H. Bruce, of
Danville, has resigned his position to
take a much needed rest. The COM
pany at once offered to elect him it's
Treasurer at an advanced salary, with
an Office position. He accepted cOndi-
tionally, and on yesterday received a
telegram saying that all conditions
would be complied with and to come
East at once. Mr.. Bruce will leave
for BrOcton this week. Mrs. Bruce
and Howard will remain in Danville
until their home on HrrrOdSburg ave-
nue. is disposed of. The Standard
Company is one of the leading excluS-
i've rubber clothing establishments i'm
New England and besides the mill
and main office at BrOctOn, has branch
houses i'm Boston, New York and st,
Louis. The advancement of Mr.. B.
to SO important position is not only
high honor, but a merited one.
While the people of this community
congratulate him, they will very much
regret to lose SO excellent a family.

This Is So.

The horrible news comes from Kan
sas that young man climed corn
stalk recently to see how the ears were
getting along, and now the corn is
growing up faster than he can climb
down. Three men have undertaken to
cut down, but owing to rapid growth
it is feared that they will not succeed
in time to prevent the young mans
starvation. He is subsisting on raw
corn and has already thrown down
four bushels of cObs, and it is now
thought that his supply is almost ex
hausted. When the men began the
attemt of cutting down the stalk,
they were able to con verse with the
young man by means of speaking
trumpet and could see him plainly with
a pair of field glasses. Now, however,
although he is climbing down ward to
the best of his ability, he has disap-
cared from view in the skies, and the
only evidence that he is still on the
stalk is the occasional falling of a cob
from above which usually penetrates
the earth about eight feet.-Ex-

Short History Of Spanish Wa

Four centuries of decadence and
maladminstratiOn had left Spain
nearly shOrn of possession on Western
shores. Cuba, gOaded to desperation
by accumulated wrongs and inpired
toward selfassertiOn by the illuStriOus
example of the United States, had
struck repeatedly for liberty. In Feb
nary, 1895 began the inSurrectiOn, that
in due time, won her her freedom.
The unchivalrOus warfare prosecut-
ed by Spain i'm Cuba eliminated in a
policy of recommendation, under which
the inhabitants were hOrded i'm the for
titled towns, without adequate pro-
vision, resulting in shocking inhu-
manities and wholesome death.
Outraged public sentiment in the
United States at length began to act,
President Mckinley decreed that a
remedy be found, and appealed to, the
people for aid for starving Cubans.
Relief poured in, but was resented by
proud, sovereign Spain. Riots ensued.
The battleship Maine was sent to
Havana to protect American interest.
Her destruction, with great loss of life
from an external expOsiOn evidently
not accidental, led to open rupture be-
tween Spain and thesUnited States.
Congress appropriated $4,000, 900 for
national defense, and unprecedented
war preparations went on The United
States sent it's ultimatum demanding
that Spain withdraw from Cuba which
unheeded, brought on war in fact
April q 1898. War considerations
fastened the annexitiOn of the
Hawaiian Island to the United States.
Spain's entire fleet i'm the East was
annihilated at Manila by Dewey's
squadron; Skaters army, i'm a bloody
campaign, forced Santiago to evacuate:
Simpsons fleet destroyed Cevera's,
attempting to escape from Santiago
harbOr; and the fight was pushed into
Porto Rico. Spain sued for peace, a
protocol was signed August II, and a
commission met at Paris to conclude
the terms of peace. The Uneted
States by this war indicated liberty,
earned outpost for itself i'm Atlantic
and Pacific, cemented factions at home
and forced the respect of nations alb
rOad.-EX.

GOOD FRUIT YEAR.
Good Letter from Mr. Hillenm yer
Printed by Danville Advocate.

Lexington, KY, Jar. 1e.-In so far
as we may now judge, there is no re lsOn
why the fruit crop of 1899 may not be
remembered as one of the most abun-
dant at the close of the century. Its
last decade has indeed been a barren
one. Either by intense or untimely
cold, by b'ighting rain or whitening
drouth, our orchards and berry plant
ings have failed to yield their wOnted
returns. But it is long road that
has no turning. The decade of so had
but two years Of abundance, but the
one succeeding was the overlooking
horn of plenty.
Many factors enter into the making
Of great fruit crops. One Of the most
important Of these is the character Of
the preceding summer, and that of
1898, by reason of its heat and humidity,
favored the development of fruit-buds
of perfect vitality. Nothing has thus
far injured these. There was nearly a
perfect failure of the tree fruits last
year. and our orchards, so to say are
bubbling over with the unexpended
energies of enforce rest. The bush
fruits never promised better.
The maximum of cold is always
passed by mid-January, and we are
pretty certain not to be injured by
winters frost. What untimely or
blighting circumstances may nip our
hope later on can of course not be de-
termined. The many saturating rains
Of last summer and fall depleted the
number of injurious insects, and from
the ravageS of these we are compare
lively safe. But these same conditions
favored that low form of life that man.

equally true of our grass and grain

The roads in the county are in mis-

continual rains during the fall and
winter are the cause of this trouble,

as nothing but dirt was left, of course
