The little gunboat Concord that came up the Mississippi river as far as Cairo, alxiut six years ago, isamong the vessels of Dewey's fleet, and it was she that fired the shot that sank the Spanish flagship at Manila, Much is said of Dewey as to whether he is a democrat or republican, catholic or protestant. The American people do not care anything about his politics or religious belief. He has proven himself a hero and that’s enough. A white mark.

Ketchman of Pike Citv,Cal., says: "During my brother’s late sickness from sciatic rhematism, Chamberlain’s Pain Balm was the only remedy that gave him any relief.” Many othesr have testified to the prompt relief from pain which this liniment affords.

At about the | same moment it sets on our fleet at , Havana, it rises on our fleet at Manila. The Cuban girls are said to be very pretty, with eyes described as “resting upon and following you;” large, dark and beaming, half veiled with long lids and lashes.” Now is the time to volunteer, boys. So long as those who speak for 40,000 enrolled men and demanding that they be taken on the next call, it is not a duty on the part of any man to leave family behind or to neglect business to enter the army.

The lond and dangerous cruise of the battleship Oregon from the Pacific has served as a serious object lesson to the government, and the Senate has adopted a resolution callI ing for information relative to the progress of work on the Nicaragua Canal. A word to physicians. Do you know that many broad minded physicians are using Foly’s Honey and Tar Cough Syrup in their pratice. They have found no remedy that gave satisfactory results for all throat and lung complaints as this great cough medicine. Holthouse A Callow, j Cincinnati has been chosen as the place for holding the next annual meeting of the National Charities and Corrections which was in session at New York last week. The time chosen was May. The exact date was left to the discretion of the execuive committee. An exchange very cheerfully remarks: When you hear a man sneering at his local papers you may know at once that he doesn't spend any time or money in making them better. A man who cannot see any benefit arising to this town ’ from the influence of his local paper, i is of as little real value to the town as ' a year old delinquent is.

M hen you take vacation the most necessary article to have with you (after your pocket book) is a bottle of Foley s Colic Cure. It is an absolute prevention or cure of all derangments of the bowls caused by change of water. You are likely to need it. Holt house A Callow. j Who weeps with you when you are sad and who laughs with you when you are glad? The editor. Who has to be kind and wise and never (hardly ever) lies, and when he does creates surprise? The editor. Who owns a heart as well as cheek, is possesed of a spirit proud, yet meek, and lives on fortv cents a week? The editor. Nothing is to be gained by underestimating the enemy. Admiral Cervera’s achievement in landing his fleet in Cuba shows that he is not only brave but a stratigist of no mean caliber. Having brought his war ships three thousand miles to fight when he has to do it, but his cunning will be far background when the cool deaded “boys in blue” one get a good square chance at him. The farm is a home —not a place to be lived at today and moved from tomorrow, but a home to be improved and beautified a home where orchards are to be planted, where vines are to be grown, where substantial thingsare to be constructed, where children are to be born, and fathers are to die. Into the fields come and reap new generations; out of the fields and into the graveyard pass old generations. If war continues very long it may be necessary to organize a regiment of Colonels in order to provide all the sons of illustrious fathers with positions fitting their high lineage. It appears that nearly every Union and Confederate General and statesman of exaulted rank has bequeathed to the republic several sons who desire to liegin in the present war about where their fathers left off at the close of the rebellion. The following important information is credited to a farmer in an exchange: “Every year I hear of caterpillars destroying whole orchards. There is nothing so easy to dispose of. I bore a hole in the tree deep enough to reach the sap, fill it with sulphur and plug it up. The sap takes the sulphur to every twig and the caterpillars disappear at onee. I have never known a tree to bo injured by it and have used it for years.” Spain furnishes to the world a melancholy example of the improvidence of the policy of unrestricted tree cutting. Its arid territory, its torrential streams, are the natural result of indifference to, or ignorance of. the demands of wise forsight. We do not want to make Spain America either physically or morally. We do not want to steip our timber lands for the enrichment of a few speculators and leave a forestless domain to the next generation. Cows will often get choked with a small potato or other article of food. : The followingpeculiarremedy issometimesemployed: Takeoffine-cut chewing tobacco enough to make a ball the size of a hen’s egg. Dampen with molasses so that it adheres closely. Lift up the cow’s head, pull the tongue forward anil crowd the ball as far down the throat as possible. In fifteen minutes it will cause sickness and vomiting, relaxing the muscles so that the object will probablv be thrown out, By adopting the following plan you can cure a cow or heifer of the habit of kicking without touching her. Make a light pair of bars of 3x2| inch stuff, then frame sor 6 of the same pieces together to form a gate of anv desir 'd length, place it between yourself and the cow. having uprights hinged to joists above or working in a slide so it can be pushed forward or drawn back as neeeded. Uprights should be about 8 inches apart. In a short time the cow will become very gentle. Suffered 27 years with kidney disease. Mr. G. A. Stillson, a merchant of Tampico, 111., writes: “Foley s Kidnev Cure is meeting with wonderful success. It has cured some cases here that physicians pronounced incurable. I myself am able to testify to its merits. My face is a living picture of health," and Foley's Kidney Cure made it such. I had suffered twenty-seven years with the disease, and to-day I feel ten years younger than I did one year ago. I can obtain some wonderful certificates of its medical qualities. Holthouse A Callow. j In Belgium a two acre holding is sufficient to maintain a farmer and his family. The typical two acre farm in that country contains a patch of wheat or rye and another of barley; another fair portion grows potatoes. A row of cabbage grows all around on the sloping sides of the ditches, with a row of onions just inside, leaving bare walking room between them and the grain. The shade trees round the house are pear trees. Every foot of land is made to produce and the farmer keeps pigs and chickens.

In fact the waters fairly teem with the big fish and during the recent overflow of the pond the surrounding fields were filled with the fish. Spearing for carp has been numbered among the exciting pastimes of the season. Men. women and children, supplied with pitchforks and baskets, could lie seen in the fields picking up the fish with but little effort, and carp steaks are now included in the daily diet Mercer county people living in the vicinity of the reservoir.- Celina Standard. I was seriously afflicted with a cough for several years, and last fall had a more severe cough than ever before. I have used many remedies without receiving much relief, and being recommended to try a bottle of Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy, by a friend, who, knowing me to be a poor widow, gave it to me, I tried it, and with the most gratifying results. The first bottle relieved me very much and the second bottle has absolutely cured me. I have not had as good health for twenty years. Respectfully Mrs. Mary A. Beard, Claremore. Ark. Sold by Holthouse & Callow. j Several reports nave reached this city at various times, telling of the death of that eccentric old man, the "Immortal J. N.” He is still alive however and may drop in to visit his old Decatur friends at any time. The following is from the Lagrange Democrat: The "Immortal J. N.” was in town Saturday; the first time for many j ears. He is growing old but retains his peculiar personal characteristics which makes him—in his imagination -bear “great pressure" on account of the mistakes of his fellows. J. N. Free has a world wide acquaintance. Bad management keeps more people in poor circumstances than any other one cause. To be successful one must look ahead and plan ahead so that when a favorable opportunity presents itself he is ready to take advantage of it A little forethought will also save much expense and valuable time. A prudent and careful man will keepaliottle of Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea remedy in the house, the shiftless fellow will wait until necessity compels it and then ruin his best horse going

The Catholic congregation at Decatur contemplate putting a $2500 organ in their church this summer. A Narrow Escape. Thankful words written by Mrs. Ada E. Hart, of Groton, S. D.: “I was taken with a bad cold which settled on my lungs; cough set in and finally terminated in consumption. Four doctors gave me up, saying I could live but a short time. I gave myself up to my Savior, determined if I could not stay with my friends on earth, I would meet my absent ones above. My husband was advised to try Dr. King’s New Discovery for consumption, coughs and colds. I gave it a trial, took in all eight bottles. It has cured me and thank God I am saved and now a well woman.” Trial boltles free at Page Blackburn’s drug store. Regular size 50e and SI.OO. Guaranteed or price refunded.
