hEALDTON HAPPENINGS.
special Correspondence.


Healdton. July 15.-This has
been a dry and hot week, but a
fine one fer farmers.
Picnics all around us, and all
we'll attended.
Drs. Benson of Dixie, Snod-
grass of Chagris, and Davis of
Keller, all visited our town during
the week.
DIR. Gordon has purchased the
Higdon blacksmith shop and un-
finished residence. The doctor
will soon complete the residence
and it will be among the best in
town.
Pole Collum has moved into the
shop vacated by Higdon
J. w. Orme is fixing up his
house aud yard.
There is no sickness here to
amount to anything.
There is an epidemic here which
is killing off the eats. they are re-
ported dying all around US. Is it
SO elsewhere? (Note-No, but we
wish it was).
The woods are full of the cater
pillar family. the pecan trees seem
to be the object Of their wrath.
The trees are just stripped of
leaves.
We learn that on the night of
the Dixie picnic, there was a great
deal of whisky circulating with
the result that one horse was acci-
dentally shot and one or two of
the boys got sore heads.
Healdton was well represented
at Hewitt picnic.

A BLANKET MORTGAGE.

The National Watchman says:
The gold combinations holds
bonds and mortgages against the
nations and peoples of the earth to
the amount of one hundl d and
fifty billions, calling for all the
gold money in existence nearly for
ty times over"
Here is the blanket mortgage
that the industry of the world must
pay, principal and interest, and
the live issue to be considered by
the farmers, laborers and merchants
of the United States is: Shall the
interest and principal be paid in
1O0-cent dollars or in 200-cent dol
lars? All of the political and mil
itary maneuvering of the gold
trust, which at present controls
the administration of the United
States, is directed to the end of
securing a rich harvest of 200-cent
dollars to add to the unholy accu
mutation of money in the vaults of
London usurers. The political ma
chinery of the Republican party is
being used to that end. Not con-
tent with gathering in all Of the
profits of American industry, the
gold trust designs to use the in
creased American army and navy
to squeeze usury for London and
the agents of London in Wall
street from the toiling hundreds of
millions in Asia and the Asiatic is
lands. the expense to be saddled
upon American taxpayers in addi-
ton to their own double burden of
usury. The issue will be met next
year.

The cout,in.. Sentiment.

WED had brush with the Indians
on No Mans creek" said the cavalry
sergeant, ''and had driven them out of
the cottOnwoodS. when we caught sight
of n warrior trying to work in on our left
flank. Three or four of the boys turn
ed loose Oh him and drove him off. but
he was soon replaced by two others.
They were beaten off to be replaced by
five or six. We couldn't at first make
out what they were up to. but by and
by we discovered that their objective
point was n thicket ON our front center.
Then it was easy to conclude that some
warrior of prominence was in that
thicket. dead or wounded. and that the
object was to carry him off.
Our captain gave orders to cease fir
ing. He wanted those redskins to un-
derstand that Compana ID had too
much honor to fire upon wounded foe
and too much mercy to shoot down
those who would carry away the dead
for burial. We lay there and let the
Indians dash up with yell. and two
minutes later. as they rode off with
whoOpS and cheers. we were all shak-
ing with laughter They were not after
dead or wounded buck. but what
they wanted and what they got were
two kegs of whisky which had been
hidden there.
Our captain didn't catch on until too
late. and then he jumped up and down
and told us to blaze away. We blazed
away. but though we fired away so
worth of Uncle Sans good cartridges.
we didn't even Craze u pony."-Cleve-

an expenditure of 1896, III. The

any warship in the navy. So
many recent changes have been
made in the ships company that

it is believed somebody in Wash
