COUNTY CORRESPONDENCE.
Deferred from last week.

l
fourths as good as last year and the weather
has been the best to get it so lar. Rain is
needed badly for the coming crops. All of
the salt marsh along the creek will be cut
this year.. One man from this section,
l. W. Partridge, was killed in the late
battle in China also his friend, whose
picture was sent here from Manila. Only
the above two were reported killed at that
time with five wounded. The people here
understand very little about the situation
In far off China and after so years of Mis-
sionary work and land grabbing it looks
like some blunders had been committed
Place the most advanced nation in the place
OF CHINA and agitate partltloning up and
spheres of influence constantly, with some
nation always on the watch for a grab for
the easy prey, with hardly respectful
| demeanor towards them, and some fearful
carnage would follow, regardless of treaties
and enlightenment of the efforts of 80 years.
1t seems now to be sad affair, and after all
is said and done, much sympathy will go
out for the heather Chinee. In all these
years since opening their ports there should
have been better ending.
