The fighting in South Africa be tween the British and Boers during the past week has been of minor im portance. Only two great battles have as yet been fought, one at Glen coe Hill and the other at Elands laagte, and in both of these the Brit ish got the best of the situation, but in most of the minor engagements the Boers are doing better. While the English troops occupied the field after both great battles, yet their losses were quite heavy, and their gain in ground covered is quite small. In other words, the Boers are proving themselves better soldiers than they were estimated to be last week after the 6fght at Glencoe Hill. A late dispatch reports a capture of fifteen hundred mules from the British by the Boers, and General Joubert is holding General White pretty well in check. But there is yet much blood to be shed in South Africa. England's great army of something like eighty thousand troops have not all reached the Cape Colony country yet, through which they will enter the Transvaal and the Orange Free State, and when Sir Redvers Buller, the chief commaider, arrives, it is said he will destroy all wires behind him, like Dewey did at Manilla, so as not to be brtudicapped by any mes sages from home. Then the war~ will begin in dead earnest, and nio doubt thousands of brave soldiers on both sides will bite the dust. While there can be but one inevitable re sult, that of England's coining out on top and owning all of South Africa, vet the Transvaalers aind the Free Staters, backed against the wall, so to speak, anid fighting for their own countries, their liberties and their property, will surely die fighting. There is many an English mother who will mourn the loss of a son, or Irish or Scotch wife who will weep the death of a husband in South . Africa before England shall have fin ished her work of unjust subjugation, and as the Boers are fighting for principle and right, it would seem that a kind Providence will give them many English lives for their fighting before they are inevitably conquered and put under the bonds of English slavery. The cause of the Boers is like the cause of the Confederate States, and wvhen they die they are going to die game. The latest from the British-Boer war in the Transvaal, is that t be Brit ons in their greed to swallow weak Republics have bitten off more than they can easily chew. The Boers who are fighting for home and God given rights, have captured two Brit ish regiments and a battery of artil lery. They have also created conster nation among the English by the way they are killing off British officers. After the drubbing the English got last Monday they will be re-enforced with more soldiers. BRYAN AND McKINLEY. Next year is campaign year, and in most of the States everything will have to be elected from President dowvn to coroner. No one seems to be thit king about the election more than William McKinley, and he now quite often finds it convenient to take a junketing trip out into some West ern State to lay a corner-stone for some school building or public hall, making a dozen or more speeches, with the American flag as his subject. McKinley and lis crowd have spoken of the old flag until it is a wonder it is not frazzled at the edges, and when they wear out the flag entirely it is hard to conceive what his next sub ject will be, unless he takes the old libjerty bell. This will last him awhile and is sufficiently abstract for him to speak on through a whole campaign without saying anything. McKinley speaks on broad plati tudes and never commits himself to anything. He is a politician. Bryan is a statesman. McKinley speaks in generalities. Bryan goes to the root of a matter, lays down his lines, hews to them and never contradicts himself. McKinley wvill make a dozen speeches and every one will be al most alike and miean nothing. Bryan will make the same number, every one will be different, and every one will be nithy and to the nnint, ful1 of logic and common sense. He does not have to resort to meaningless phrases about American liberties to make a speech. America was freed and won her own flag about a hundred and twenty five years ago, and yet th, President is always talking about it. Bryan is talking about freeing the people from their oppressed condition brought about by trists aud monopolies. Some of his pithy sayings, getting at the root of the evils underlying out social conditions, read like the prov erbs of Solomon. They are pungent trulths, logical, forceful, convincing and the American people would do themselves honor in making him President. He can do more work, make more speeches and better speeches, than any man in politics to day, and would make a better Presi dent. Like Thomas Jefferson was the greatest statesman of former days and had a deeper and more profound conception of a great government, so Bryan is the statesman of the present, and is Jefferson's greatest disciple. STATE OF OHIO, CITY OF TOLEDV, S LrcAs CoNT-r. FnA.x J. CHEsEY makes oath that he is the senior partner of the firm of F. J. CHE NEY & Co., doing business in the city of Toledo, county and State aforesaid, and tbat said firm will pay the sum of One Hundred Dollars for each and every case of catatrrh that cannot be cured by the use of Hall's Catarrh Cure.

The Hazelden-Ouzts "you-are-an other" correspondence which has been filling newspaper space for the past few weeks should be checked, that the people may get some rest from the nauseating crimination and recriminatiou. The people are hear tily sick of both the State Board of Control and D. A. G. Ouzts; their tales of woe have been told and re told until it is time they were re quired to put the matter into the hands of job printers, where free ad vertising is an unknown quantity. Hazelen replies to Ouzts' charges by bringing in witnesses from his home county, and we suppose that Ouzts could procure in that same county of Marion, a cart load of afli davits sustaining the charges against Hazelden. We have had some expe rience with Marion county; we well remember the Norton-Ellerbe fight, that Ellerbe ade horrible charges against Norton, backed up by affida vits from M1arion men, and, notwith standing all that, Norton whipped Ellerbe out of his boots in Marion county. It is therefore plain to us that Marion affiavits are not always conclusive proof for or against any hody charged. It is, however, con vincing to us that when a question arises the people in that county take sides, and stand by their respective friends. Ouzis, we have no doubt, is scattering his shot promiscuously, but there is no doubt about it, he has hit somewhere, and hit hard enough for the Legislature to follow up the yelpings of the hit dog. Some people are wondering why it is that Governor McSweeney does not take a hand in the dispensary muddle. We are satisfied that if he had the power, he would suspend the entire board and close down the in stitution until the Legislature ca~me to his relief and did something, but he is powerless to act--there is abso lutely nothing he canjo. The Board of Control is supreme'for the present and will remain so until the General Assembly can take the matter in hand. We therefore hope that the newspapers will let up with filling their columns with the "grinds" of the "devil rebuking sin," because all that can be, has already been accom plished in establishing the fact that corruption exists and no remedy can be had until the Legislature con venes.

The Verdict, the only illustrated Democratic weekly journal in the United States, is arousing an unusual interest not only in the East, but in the WVest. Its stalwart Democracy is unquestionable. Certainly it voices now the issues upon which the Dem ocratic party intends to go before the people in 1900. It is rallying the De mocracy to the support of this 1900 platform: An Income Tax. A graded Inheritance Tax. The destruction of the p~olitical ower of the Trusts. Public ownership of municipal franchises. its editorials, written by Alfred Henry Lewis,'are unusually frank ini statement. The Verdict's cartoons, printed in colors, sum up pictorially the editor's view of National and New York affairs. There are char acter and individuality in the car toons that are as refreshing as the vigor of the editorials. The Verdict gives promise of being the oracle of the advanced Democracv. Chamberlain's cough remedy has saved the lives of thousands of croupy childre'n. It is also without an equal for c'olds and whooping cough. For salo by Rt. B. Lor Plant Frut Trees. Editor TiE TiMEs: Some time ago I received from the Department of Agriculture at Wash ington the new catalogue of fruit trees, vines and plants adapted to this country. The United States is divided into different sections, nineteen in num ber. These sections are not made with reference to State boundaries, but according to temperatures and altitude. It is compiled by pomolo gists of national repute and is au thoritative. Among the compilers is Mr. Berckman of Augusta. Sec tion 5 takes in those portions of North Carolina, South Carolina, Geor gia and Florida that are under 500 feet above sea level, and we are in this section. By going over the lists laid down of every fruit, berry and nut, we can pick out those adapted, specially adapted, promising, un promising, not suited. This is a very important and valu able pamphlet to any one who is in terested in growing fruits, as it is a reliable guide in choosing varieties. If everybody would buy from such a house as Berckmans, and rely on their advice as to varieties suited to our own section, then they would be safe. We, however, buy mostly through travelling agents who some times know very little if anything about the adaptability of the different varieties, and so we lose money and time by buying trees, etc., that are not suited to our clitate. As this is the season to put out trees, it would be well for all intend ing purchasers to get copies of the catalogue and go over it as I have done and mark every apple, peach, plum, grape, strawberry, pear, etc., then in buying from the nursery direct or from an agent consult this list and buy nothing else. The present generation is doing little or nothing to leave orchards for posterity. Years ago could be seen the work of a former generation evi denced by an orchard near every farm house. Time and neglect have killed these old orchards and no new ones have been planted. Years ago, in the pioneer days, out on the frontier lived an eccentric Man who travelled about on foot, ap parently friendless and penniless, as much at home among the Indians as the whites. This old man was always planting apple seed as he wandered over the West. Years afterwards there rose up orchards of apple trees along his different pathways, which proved blessings to a new generation. It is a custom in a European coun try of planting the seed of fruit eaten at the place of eating. As a conse quence, the highways and byways are fringed with trees bearing different fruits of which the tiaveller is free to eat. No food is more healthy than na tive ripe fruit. We can have it on our own farms twelve months in the year if we apply ourselves, yet I doubt if there are a dozen men in Claren don county who are qualified to grow and take care of an orchard.

Now, I want to thank the good people of this county for their liberal patronage during the past two-and-a-half years. Friends, I have not words-to express my appreciation, and now I hope since you have done so much for me, yet I trust you can say I did something for you, that we were the one that brought prices down and held them down as long as we were open. Again we say, not boasting, that you have done lots for us, and we, in return, did the same for you. We are down now-have nothing in the world at all -but we hope to go to work and see what we can do for ourself again; and, should we never see you again in person, we will ever think of the pleasant transactious together and the pleasant stay of two and-a-half years in your county. We have heard of some of our competitors laughing at our downfall. May God pity the poor man who will laugh or rejoice at such a thing as that. Again and again we thank you for your kind nesss.during our stay here. We will not say that we will go in business here again, not just now, any way. Very truly, C. W. KENDALL, - The Racket Man.
