Miss Emma Wingard is assistant teacher and David Fitzgerald principal. The farmers are breaking land, clearing new groimd, etc. The Rev. Mr. J. A. Cromer preaches good sermons at Midway and at Zion. The large Sunday schools at Zion and Midway have closed for the winter. Hon. C. M. Efird supeiin tends at Zion and Hon. 1). F. Efird at Midway. Messrs. John Metz and Otto lingua an have both gathered their orange crops this year. This is not a stray item blown here from Florida, but a strictly Lexington fact. Good, sweet oranges can be raised in this county. I have sampled both crops, tut the two together don't amount to half a bushel. It is said around here that one gallon of sugar cane molasses is wcrthfiveof sorghum. Our genial and popular County Treasurer calls that young man at his house John Jacob, but Mr. John Roberts is still ia search of a patronymic for his visitor. Mr. Frank Corley haviDg finished it, Mr. Ed Seuy has moved into his new house. Boxes are being cut around here and virgin dip will send out water white from the stills this spring. Mr. Arthur Metz has planted his place near Midway in fruit, trees. Perhaps he will move across the river after awhile. The Rev. Mr. Quid: preaches eloquently at the poor house once a month. Miss Amanda Sharpe visited her old teacher of ten long years ago, at Midway last week. The pleasure was mutual. Rabbit aud chicken eatings in this neighborhood are all right but perhaps too pungently peppery. Ex Sheriff Drafts is as prcud of his talented son Andrew, an industrious disciple of Esculapius as is Dr. Leaphart of the coming graduation of "our Samraie". Master Sam Leaphart is destined to become one of the most popular men in cur county. Mr. Baylis Wingard, who has been battling with La Grippe, is now stirring busily attending to the many calls on Lis time. The portly Mr. E. L. Wingard, is having a buggy shed built. Wonder if he is gciDg to forsake the vigorous activity of equestrian pursuits for the ifloniinoi.rr /if Imi (TO V-lr>11 in Ct_ JUAUUUUavutujiuuvj w. 0I was speaking of the wind that blew down Mr. Wade Monts fence, the other day, when Col.

Why sir, that gentle breeze blew a fence rail end foremost through a tree, blew all the wells away and even I blew the loads out of the guns. "That must have been a powder storm,v sarcastically intei jected his fiien.d Capt. Gassar. Midway school house is, I believe, the most commodious in the count} and it is to be hoped that scon 1 Le pupils will be the most advanced country pupils in the county. The people of this settlement are 1 clever and hospitable, and that the; re neighborly, is shown by thenum ber of hands at log rollings and othci i help gatherings. This is right. Mr. Thomas Gable has a tine fiocl of sheep. Now that wool is up per I Laps sheep can be prontaniy raisec | in Lexington. .Several farmers arc trying a hom< j made fertilizer this Year. Some o 5 * the ingredients are bought, others { are produced at home. It is an ex ! peiinient. The result will be awaitet j with interest. Woven quilts could be sent frou here to the next County Fair. Mr. John Corley has one of tin ! finest sugar cane mills and evapora 3 J tors in the county. Mr. John Lie is a stirring spiri ; among the turpentine men. Mr. raebman Metz is iearniDj t rapidly to cut boxes. lie will soo; be an expert. d Mr. Thomas Klec-kley has installs himself in his new house and is quit eomfoitable.

The Grood Husband, Nothing,"' said a sweet, smiling, j >yful woman iu a domestic circle, ' adds so much to my happiness as a kind word, a kind look, or a kind act from my husband. Oh, how charm| ing, after a hard day's toil at the { wash tub, or in cocking over a hot fire for the harvest hands, or in the | discbarge of any other domestic duty | or after a sleepless night with a sick | babe, is a kind word or a smile eveD, I from t; e husband and father.'" Husbands, if you see defects, or ! things which vou wish were net so> i ? in your wives, try kindness and see if that don't do them more good j than all the unkind words and cross j looks that you ever gave them. "I often think," continued the i happy wife, "I have the best husi band in the world. He is good and j kind to me in sickness and in health, I in joy and in sorrow.

The Japanese Government Likely to I Form an Alliance With the United j States. I A new international complication j | in the Maine incident has aiisen. j Japan may be drawn into our posj-i- j ble quarrel i t h Spain Pel Imps \ Japan has an eye on the Philippine ! islands, which might fall into her lap while the United States engaged Spain in Atlantic waters. Japan has \ always wanted the Hands, aiul her j shrewd diploinatcs see an opportun- j ity too important to be overlooked. This new phase of the situation I arises from the fact that the state j departments, at the instance of Japan, j has determined that thete were seven I Japvine.se subjects on board the but- j tleship when she was lost. Ttnir j names were Isa Sugisaki, Otogora j ! Ishida, Suko Chingi, Mas O'aye, < j Vukichi Kitogata, Tiuckiski Xaga- ! I mine and Kashotora Suzuki. If it is proven that the MaiD'. was blown up from the outside it is stated j that the Japanese government does not propose to excuse Spain from responsibility for the destruction of these men, and will demand a heavy indemnity from Spain, reinforcing-it with a naval demonstration at Manilla. This circumstance gives the Ameri can government an unexpected but invaluable ally in case of a rupture , with Spain. It is stated that the ; Japenese minister has given this ! government assurances (f Japans j support in auy emergency and that ' while it has net been accepted or J declined, it is recognized that the friendship of Japan would release j America from the necessity of keep- ! ing some of her finest vessels in i ? ! Asiatic waters, and these added to a i naval force in the Atlantic would insure the supremacy of the home j fleet against any threatened Spanish { raid on our coast. Mr. Hoshi called at the state department a few days ago and was closeted with the officials for a considerable time. There is every reason to believe that he conveyed to Judge Day the direct official intiina tion that the ruler of Japan would willingly make an alliance with Ameiica against Spain. Mr. Durham White Stevens, conn- j .f ii.. T 1^. l i seior 01 liit' oapuuesu ltrguuiju, m t | speaking for the legation regarding j ! the matter, said that the inquiry ud- j I dressed to the state department was j I prompted by the interest felt in the ! j Japanese subjects upon the ship, and j I was to find out whether any of the I ! J | j bodies had been identified ami what j j disposition Lad been made of them. ! When asked what relation a sub- ! i ject of Japan bore to that govern- ! J ment when serving under the Ameri- j can llag, Mr. Stevens answered that ! it was a queetion of international j law. He said that certainly the en listed men were subject to the rules I of discipline and orders, but remainI ing naturally felt an interest in them. I o ~ To the question of what Japan i should do if the court of inquiry i l found that the Maine was blown up by design, and whether the Japanese government would demand an indemnity from Spain, he replied that | it was a very complicated question, j and that he did not care to sav ui.y' thing about the matter. The sym| pathy of Japan would be with this | government in the case, but whether | she would ally herself with America j was a question he did not care to ! discuss. i | The Single-Turret Monitors. ! Ne* York Sua. In the search for available war ves sels the naval authorities Lave now ; come to the small monitors that surj vived from the civil war, and work , lias begun upon tuose tliat are ijmg i:i ordinary at League Idaud. ; There used to be fourteen of these I ; craft, but the Saugus was condemned ; to the scrap heap, leaving us Ihe ; present baker's dozen still ou the list I of the navy. The Aj ax, the Canonii cus, the Mahopae, the Manhattan : and the Wyauduttc are of '2.100 tons 1 , displacement, v.-bile the Comanche, 1 ! the Catskill, the Jason, the Lehigh, | JD , the Moutauk, the Nuliaut, the Nantucket and the Passaic are of 1,ST ; toUS. | These vessels are so overshadowed J | by our more modern monitors of the Miannotomob class, displacing d/.i'.):) r, "IE?., 2vL^L.2>TjZ age. Prompt and 1 true, ami still by the more powerful ! Monterey of 4084 tens, and the Puii 1 tm of {> 0 50 that ive rarely consider ' ? - -?i :i:i.v _ rni their (liecuve possiuuuics. iuni* is certainly a vast difference in every impoitant respect, in speed, armor armament, between these single tur- ! ret, single screw relics of more than a generation ago and their successors. | They go but five or six knots; they i carrv smooth bores, where the latter ! 1 vessels have tremendous high power i 1:ties: their side armor, toe>, is not j only thinner, but of iron, so that it j is much less effective than the solid i steel plates of our day. It has frequently been proposed to ' substitute lilies for their smooth bores, one plan favored by the dis- ; tinguished bureau officers being that i of new turrets, while another was j that of removing their turrents alto- i n i gether and substituting a pair of j 8-inch rilles or a single ten-inch on ; the disappearing carriage, the armor | rnccfil lvninnr nlcA i LIii.lt |h UlCL/lO iui/ i/vu'q ujov (be protection for tbe gun. But against this plan it was urged that the side armor was so thin as to furnish little protection, while at least the turrets which it was proposed to re- | move were over twice as thick, be- j sides having the advantage of being j cylindrical. Iu short, the proposed ' alterations were never carried out, it j being felt, perhaps, that the amount j of money required would be better j expended on new ships. We must t ike these new vessels, I then, as we find them today, for no j body would advocate alterations that j might be iu progress and incomplete j when the monitors were needed-. ! Taking them as they arc, they are by j no means to be dispised as adjuncts j of harbor defence. To begin with, j five of them are in actual use by the naval militia, the Ajax in New Jersey, j the Commauche in California, tie j Nantucket in North Carolina, the j Passaic iu Georgia and the Wyandotte iu Connecticut. This fact sug- j gests that most all the others will be j found available, for their engine have ; been examined and cared for from i time to time. It also suggests that the naval State malitia can man these vessels, so making them a clear gain to our defensive strength. Each vessel carries two 15 inch guns in its turret, except the Coman- j che, which, if we do not mistake, has j no gun. These guns are smooth j bores, but they throw a big projectile which at moderate range could smash through the sides of an unarmored vessel. Then the extremely low free- ; board of these monitors makes them a very difficult target to hit, and the j turrets carry eleven inches of iron armor, while their shape, as has been i said, helps to make hostile shots j glauce. Again, the mean draught of j the five larger monitors is only l.'U | feet, and that of the remainder 11!, ; so that they could lie in shallow wa- i ters which an enemy's scago'ng ves- ' scls could not reach. These monitors, therefore, arc i I | i cleat ly available as coast defenders, j being specially serviceable for the I smaller, yet important harbors, and j | particularly so in those that have less j 1 powerful gnus. or none at all. They | l i could show in various ways that j i their day of usefulness is not past. I - -- ITcw Is the Time 1 i i To purify your blood with Hood's i i Sarsaparilla.

The committee ; I was in session practically all day, and j before the decision on the increase of j ships was reached there was a kng j ... 1 and interesting discussion. Representative Tate (Dem.) of ! Georgia, while favoring an increase, j believed that two vessels would be ample and that further expenditure beyond the point of necessity should j be avoided. When the vote was j taken there was but one dissenting j voice, Mr. Tate insisting that two j battlesdips would be sufficient to j meet present needs. The new war- ! ships provided for will be of the liu- j est pattern. It will bo two years, j doubtless, before they can be placed j in commission. One of them, ' the committee decided, should bear i the name of the ill-fated Maine. The j appropriation for their construction ; was not fixed, bung referred to ! . . I the sub committee ou appropriations j which will report to the full commit- j tec tomorrow. The cost, it is ox- j pectcd, will be about > ">,<< >0,ODD e tch, i though for the fiscal year covered in ; the bill the amount of expenditure ! may not exceed &2,Ufi0,00;) etch. The committee also agreed ou a \ provision authorizing the secretary of j the navy to purchase armor plate by j coutiact or otherwise at a cost of not exceeding sInn per ion. This was agreed to, however, only on the express proviso that this item should include the nickel used in the armor for which a large outside percentage heretofore has been paid by the government. This limit of armor con tra t price lias been generally expected and with the exception of the proviso as to nickel met v.ith little opposition in the discussion. One of the most iiupoitant features of the bill was an agreement on an appro priation of SIH.V'OO for outfitting, rationing ami uniforming J7.'? u?Ulitional marines. This increase in the naval force was made the subject of a special anil urgent request sent to the house after the submission of the regular recommendations. With the amounts to be paid for dry docks and for armor plate in the aggregate not yet determined, the bill as it stands carries in all something like SiWJ.UOO,<>()<> which, however, will be largely augmented by Hip other items. Icll)M DrOLTl'CSS has been wade with the bill and it is likely it will be in shape to report to the house Monday or Tuesday. - * -C* Called Heme. ! To the Editor of the l)i>patch.
