This place would be a fine place for
a blacksmith shop. as the people here
and four or five miles around have to
60 to Mt. Pleasant to have their work !
done, and one that understands WOOD
work and horse sh0eing would do good
business here. Our people would well
come such a workman. This little
place has two gooa stores, but neither

both would be welcome additions. i

success, we remain. as ever.

BUT$TWO BATTLES.
BEST Information Leads to Be
lief That There Have Been
But Two Actual Conflicts.
NV Associated Press

(lSyf ASEOCl0tSL 1t-S7J
Il NEW YORK, Feb. IA careful study
Of the reports that have reached America
and Europe from the East. including
press dispatches and communications
through official channels, would Indicate
thai but two actual conflicts Of any mo-
ment have SO far occurred. These are
the Japanese naval attack on Port Ar
thur on Monday night and Tuesday morn
inc and tho affair at Chemulpo on Mon
day and Tuesday.
I'm circles where knowledge of condl-
lions in that part Of tho world allows
them to speak with accuracy, the various
reports OF other engagements are con-
sdered but echoes Of these two fights.
News travels slow in North China. Cable
and telegraph facilities are very limited.
and it is very evident as reports OF the
Port Arthur and Chemulpo affairs reach
various points they are promptly caoled
by resident correspondents. resulting IN
a natural confusion Of dates.
a The circumstantial report OF another en-
"a cement, sent BY tho Reuter- Telegraph
Company from Toxic, under date OF Feb
ruary 10th, also undoubtedly referred tc
the original Port Arthur attack, news VI
which had just reached Toxic.
The flood Of conflicting dispatches
from various North China points during
the Boxer revolution isrecalled For TIL:
reason the report cabed by the Tientsh
correspondent Of the London STANDARD
that Russian fleet had bomRardec
Hakodate is entirely disregarded.
