SAN FRANCISCO, Feb 25.-At the
first opportunity that offers, John Oh
sen, mate of the brig Lurline, will sail
back to the little island Of Taiohae, in
the Marquesas group, to marry Prin-
cess Medena, the ruler and belle of the
island.
With both Olsen and the princess it
was a case of love at first sight. He
singled her out of the group of girls
that met the Lurline when she dropped
anchor at Taiohae. AS soon as he
could get to shore he laid siege to her
heart and hand. Before the boat sail
ed Olsen had won both. He wanted to
bring the princess with him, but the
captain objected. He will go back as
soon as possible and make her Mrs.

WASHINGTON, February S.-With
their heads close together to get the
true tenor effect and their streaming
eyes turned toward Washington, the
shopkeepers of Guantanamo are stand
ing on the Cuban shore and bewailing
the policy that took away the battle
ship fleet and many incidental dollars.
In memorials addressed to the Cuban
Legation here and to Governor MagoOn
the impoverished shopkeepers plead
with the Navy Department to send
ships bearing the coin Of commerce. 1t
is all very pathetic.
Their plant arises over the fact that
the marine army of 1000 officers and
from 10000 to $4,000 men who des-
cended upon Guantanamo each year
for several years to engage in target
practice will not be present this spring.
The sailors were liberal with their
money Each spring for six to ten
weeks the town was filled with the
| Americans.
And each spring the Cubans worked
with frenzy in separating the jolly
| jackies from their spare change. The
rest of the year they spent in blissful
dreams of the next visitation of the
United States fleet. Each time there
was left money sufficient to maintain
the most elaborate collection of fight
| ing cocks, and each Guantanamo mer-
chant soiled his hands and his family
escutcheon with sordid trade during
only a few weeks There were more
than ten months of business siesta in
which he could play the gentleman.
Certainly this was condition that
no self-respecting Cuban shopkeeper
could well surrender without a strug,
gle. Hence the memorials. But botr
Minister Quesada and Governor Ma
COON refuse to become excited. II
fact, the Cuban Minister looks colby
on the sufferings of the Guanta
namoans.
However, there will be several yes
sells sent down to Guantanamo Ba!
for target practice. The first ship t
!. arrive there will be the Tacoma, whiCl
already has sailed from New York. Tit
: Des Moines will follow shortly, as vii
the Marietta, the Dubuque and tn,
Paducah The Mississippi New Hamp
shire and Idaho also will engage il
manoeuvres later on.
There will be no extensive manoeuy
res, though, owing to the fact tina
there is now no division formation OF
the Atlantic coast AS a result, Their
will be little in the presence of tn
fleet at Guantanamo 50 far as tn
shopkeepers are concerned.
But the lack of business in Guam
tanamo will not interfere with tn
cock fighting. Once this is under
stood, Minister Quesada is of the OPT

What RaNkyn Srows.

Horn Rogers, a muatto, who moved to this
county from Smith made in 1876, on p acres
of fresh CIark's creek bottom land, without
fertilizer, 20 bales of cotton and enough corn
to run him the next year. He had only one
mule to do the blowing and the seasons were
very favorable. 1t still holds the record as the
best one mule crop ever produced in Rankin
county, While he had only the one mule, that
mule was good one and was kept busy and
his family was large enough to keep the crop
well hoed.
A few years ago Wade Patrick, one Of the
counties best planters worked 10 mules, good
ones though, like all the Patrlcks' mules, raised
12O bales Of cotton and 1000 bushels Of corn.
The above are unusual yields, its true, but
shows what work and GOOD seasons Will pro-
duce in this county.
The land is here---aIl it needs is proper
work Many farmers Of Rankin make money
every year because there is no let up IN their
endeavor to win out in spite of bad seasons.
This paper, last winter called for statements
from farmers and n1oIasses mill owners OF the
yield of ribbon cane syrup last season. Some-
thing like 10000 gallons of as pure and
Wholesome sugar cane nnoIasses as is made

a little over 800 gallons. 1t readily sells for so
cents, but when sold in barrels at 40 cents per
gallon. There is some risk in the boiling, its
true, BUTT is as safe crop as can be grown
in this section, one that does not require i'm
mediate marketing and pays better than any
other crop except possibly what might be
on earyvegetabIes. A lady near Bran
don last year made at the rate over 81 900 per
acre on red pepper Vegetables, field crops Of
every description, all fruits, melons and in fact,
everything grown in this part of the south,
grows and yields abundanty in Rankin. The
only thing necessary to make money raising
them is constant attention and work in sea-
son. Rankin county is as fine stock growing
county as there is in the state. The cattle in
dustry represents a good item in her wealth
and pays we'll for the little attention given it.
Some fine mules are raised every year and
find a ready sale. Hogs, sheep and goats pay
large returns When looked after. Her poultry
raising is of considerable proportions when
it comes to sweet potatoes, no other section
can beat it. Easyto raise, with yields from so
to 800 bushels to the acre, and the margin be-
tween the figures above are due very IittIeto
