Sad Plight of an Elderly Couple at
Muskogee.
For several years NV Dial has
driven the hack and carried the
mail between here and Okmulgee.
Ten days ago he was thrown from
his hack and severely injured. His
home was originally at Pryor Creek
and when yesterday he thought be
could make the trip he was sent
there. Yesterday there stepped
from the cars an old decrepit
woman. She had to be assisted by
the porter to the ground. She
inquired the way to the post office
and with tottering steps she walk
ed the two blocks. When she made
inquiries for Dial she was told
that he had that day been sent
to Pryor Creek. She said: 81 am
his wife; l am seventy-fve years
of age and penniless." Tears
flowed down the little valleys Of
wrinkles and her gray head shook
with the feeling that she was de-
pendent on the cold charities Of
the world for a bare substance.
She wandered down to the Turner
and went in; there she
told her sad story and asked for
help to take her to her husband at
Pryor Greek. The boys contribut.
I'd enough to pay her fare and she
vent up on The night train.

Dear Sir.-I have been in the
islands nearly three months now
and have seen quite little Of the
country up to this time | landed
in Manila on Oct, rs, and stayed
there three days. We then went
to d'Angeles, where we expected
strong resistance, but Nov. 5th
showed that the enemy was not
made of material to stand very
long. After the fight we went into
garrison at that place and did pro-
vost duty for a month.
We then took the field again,
travelling in westerly direction
for distance Of seventy-five miles
meeting little or no resistance.
The second battalion of the 32d
Infantry, part Of the Sd Infantry
and one battalion of the 25th In
tantry (the latter negroes) scouered
the surrounding country in all d.
rections, but found only small
bands Of insurgents. whom we
captured or scattered in the noun
tAins. Our msjor [spence) left
cur company TO garrison Subic,
sea coast town, and patrol other
inland towns. We were never
halted for q minute by the rebels,
always taking up double time after
them when sighted. On the Oath /
Of December, however, we started
out with about forty-fve men, and
thought we would whip all the
insurgents in the mountains for q
Christmas present. But we were
sadly mistaken After we had 4

and while passing single " Ale
through the worst piece Of country
I aver saw, We were attacked on
three sides at once. On orr left
was a tall mountain with nothing
but grass about three feet high on
Its slopes on the other three sides
Was bamboo so thick aman could
not be seen fifty feet away. In
these thickets tho enemy was sta
toned seemingly about three hum
drsd strong. They opened fire at
a distance of about one hundred
yards, and we did not wait for or
ders to return it, but dropped TO
the ground and began work as
hard as we could. We had moth
ing to fire at except the smoke
that rose from the brush, and SO
we laid for half an hour under
constant fire; then the rebels ceas-
ed fireing to take up position on
our right to cut of retreat. This
placed us so we could not return
the way we came, so we had to
climb the bald mountain on our
left, and here the enemy had a
picnic practicing on US as we strug-
gled through the tall grass. Egi
IDENTIFY thinking US in full retreat
they started in to chase us back
to Subic, but as they reached the
base of the bill we gained the top,
and here we turned on our friends
and gave them few volleys which !
persuaded them to stay in the |
brush out of reach of our old /
Krags. We lost one man, taken
prisoner; 1t is supposed he was
wounded climbing the hill. The /
rebels lost eighteen wounded, and /
we are satisfied we killed a few.
/ am sorry to have to write Of
our being whipped, but it is just
as say, perhaps a little worse,
for it put fear into the hearts of
many Of us. We are now waiting
for reinforcements, and will go up |
again when they arrive. Then |
hope we will be more successful.

Be sure to cool all soup stock rapidly.
This is most necessary if you wantit to
keep few days. If it is allowed TO cool
partially on the range before it is
strained it will not keep well. The
more quickly it is cooled off after the
straining the better it is. Again, cook
ing meat at a high and in dry tenn
perature develops a richer and more
savory flavor, and that is why in some
of the brown soup stocks, when it is
possible to do so, it is well to brown
the meat before adding the water to it.
You cannot do this with bouillon or
white soup on account Of preserving the
transparency and the whiteness. But
in the family soups, where nourishing
qualities are not sacrificed for appear

SENATOR BACON.

1t is positively stated that SEN
ator A. 0. Bacon is in favor of
holding primary in the various
counties in Georgia for the selec-
ton of United States senator. 1t
is said that Senator Bacon will
address letters, during the present
week, to the chairman of all coun-
ty executive committees in Geor-
gia requesting that a primary for
United States senator be held in
each county and that the people
be given opportunity to vote for
their choice for senator by name,
as in the election of any other
state or county official, and he
will request that the 1877 county
primaries be on the same day, and
for the sake of convenience and
the saving of expense he will sug-
gest that they be held at the time
of the Democratic primary for
governor.

PEN POINTS.

But few men are proof against
the f1attery of a pretty woman.
The skeleton in a woman's clos
ct is usually some other female.
There are people who expect to
escape hell because of the crowd
going there.
After man has reached the
high water mark he has to hustle
to keep his head above it.
Says an Irishman ''It's great
comfort to be alone-especially
when your sweetheart is with you.
The best servants of his satani-
cal majesty are those who attend
church for the purpose of making
a show.
Don't be nodded by your cir
cumstances; mold them.
Courage without conscience is
little better than cowardice.

A ROSY PREDICTION.

Before the first of May spot cot
ton will be worth ten cents. We
have good reasons for making this
prediction. In the first place.
farms are bare of cotton. Yarns
and cloths are steadily advancing
in price. Cotton stocks are run
ming low. The mills are COM
PEELED to have the raw material.
They can pay fifteen cents for cot
ton and still make money oy man
ufacturing it. The total crop
may be nearer 8,250,OOO bales
than 100000 bales. The mills
see this and it will not be long
until they will be in the market
for everything in sight. When
this condition arrives, which is
almost as certain as taxes, the
cotton market will give the coun-
try something to talk about
