The low price
at which Arbuckles' famous
roasted coffee can be sold is made
possible by its enormous sale. It should
not be classed with the inferior imitations sold at
a cent a pound less than Arbuckles'. It has a
quality greatly superior to these imitations and
makes many more cupfuls to the pound. No other
firm in the world can buy coffee to so good advantage
the producers of Arbuckles' Coffee. No other coffee
is cleaned, roasted or blended with such great care and
skill. When you buy Arbuckles' you get better
quality and greater value than you can get in any
other coffee at anywhere near the same price
You also get with each package
definite part in some useful article.

Since our last communication
our town has been visited by a
fire, which for a time promised to
be one of the most destructive in
the history of the town. Th*
whole block was in great danger
of being destroyed. Our fire com-
pany did most excellent work, and
espec ial praise is due Mr. Thomp-
son, who runs the engine at the
water works, in that he hastene<
there and before anyone could
hardly guess what was up he had
the big force pump runniug.which
together with the stand pipe gave
a tremendous pressure to the
water. Dick Bond, druggist, and
Drs. Morrison are now in the Hen-
derson building. They were the
heaviest losers, and will reoccupy
their former quarters as soon as
the building can be repaired.
Jesse Collins and L. J. Reeves
have formed a partnership in the

inson, a Weston boy, are erecting

for the handling of implements.

Well, we have smallpox at last.
The quarantine was raised about
ten davs ago. A day or so ago a
fully developed case was located
here, and a number were exposed
before they knew it. The school
authorities have decided that all
children shall be vaccinated or
stop school.
There have been hundreds of
cases of the grippe in town. In
some instances whole families
were down at the same time.
Ex-Governor Bob Taylor will
lecture here Saturday night, his
subject being "Sentiment."
Ben Amonette, aged 4$, was
killed by the south bound 6o'clock
evening train last week. H* was
a farm laborer living with Mrs.
J. L. Kelley, of Mantna. It is
supposed that while on his way
home hi sat down on the cross-
ties and fell asleep, ' Everybody
had a good Word to eay jof Mr.
Amonette . It is regratable that
such accidents happen, yet they
are seemingly unavoidable.

Editors Democrat:
I have been silent so long that I
ain would remain so, but in look-
ing o*rer the columns of The Dem-
jci at there are so many mtere>fc-

solve anew" and attempt a com-
munication from this thriving sec-
tion of our county.
Smallpox is north of here two
or three miles, and as usual more

more of the sensational than the
real. To be frank, the quaran-

precluded.

surveys,"and scarcely a family is
exempt from his encroachment-.
A one has proved fatal so far, and

will soon be over.

Cotton is out of the way and

ua« a deep hold on the farmers,
and while the acreage of cotton
may be increased to some extent,
other crops will be planted, stock

the year, thus keeping our sturdj
yeomanry out of debt and at the
same time enabling them to la,}
up something for a rainy d^y.

Bangued, P. I., Nov, 28
McKinney Democrat: While
your readers are enjoying the
prospect of a thanksgiving on
tomorrow and maybe trying to
escape from the rigors of a nor-
ther, the boys here are expecting
bard tack and bacon and are
wishing for a Dakota blizzard.
The last few days have been the
waVme^t we have yet experienced.
We are fortunate in not having
to do much kicking. There are
two more battalions of soldiers in
tht i >vince which our battalion
has occupying. All the larger
"barr.ua " in the province are
now g^rr'oned, so the rebels, not
having any place to secure sup-
plies. I 'iving or disbanding,
lhet* not been an engage
ment h*tre Jor three weeks. Prob-
ably the f'ict of McKinley's re-
election h having something to
do with the recent lull in the ac-
tivity of the insurgents. The
rebels have relied much upon the
moral support and promises
made them by the Bryanites.
That class of political intriguers
cannot be brothers with the sol-
dier democrat. A soldier here
cannot help feeling bitter when
he reads some of the so-called an-
ti-unpevial papers. Many of the
volun&eers were democrats who
came here because they believed
our cation was iu the right and
needed their service. We still
think as we did the day we enlist-
ed and are ready go to wherever
«>ur flag may need our support.
May our country always De the
civilizing power she now is.
Should American influence be re-
moved fron these islands and no
governing power enter, the lives
of foreigners would not be
thought as much of as the lives
f dogs.
Americans who have never
oeen out of the country they
were raised in may be frightened
by the imperial bogy man. but
one cannot realize why educated,
observing people should allow
themselves to be deluded by the
people who see ruin in anything
not inaugurated by their own
party. That party which advo-
cates the extension of American
crude, of Americ# n influence, of
Vmerican principles will always
receive the support of true Amer-
icans.
While the political opinion of
soldiers is not regarded, they ail
expect sometimes to become civj
ilians and they keep as well and
perhaps better pt>sted than is the
average civilian in regard to the
action of the national servants
and national needs.
Among the few objectionable
things that have been donej by
the authorities, is the decision to
have all volunteersdischarged at
place of mobilization.
This means that the 33rd U. S.
V. will be mustered out at San
Antonio instead of at San Fran-
cisco. The government will pay
the railway to haul us from San
Francisco to San Antonio and
then be at as great expense in
discharging the regiment as at
San Francisco. The cost of
moving the regiment from San
Francisco to San Antonio is need-
less expense. The S. P. railway
will get some more patronage.
Many of the boys would like to
stay in California a short time
and many ot those whose homes
ire in Texas desire to come home
by some other route than the S.
P.
Another and graver injustice to
the volunteer soldier is the decis-
ion to not pay the volunteers the
extra two months that have
usually been given the U. S. V.
soldiers.
But so anxious are most of the
boys to be at home again that
they think little of these injust-
ices.
While I have been writing this
news has come of a brilliant lit-
tle fight twenty miles south of
here. Capt. Green 33rd U. S V.
in command of the Tagala scouts
strength 150 men, encountered a
force of 260 rebels.
Ihe fight lasted five hours.
Capt. Green's force held both
entrances to a mountain pass.
The rebels could not escape from
the place. Capt. Green had sev-
eral men wounded but none were
killed. The rebels lost about 60
killed and the remainder, aliout
900, were made prisoners. They
lott all their arms aqd about 22
horses which had been captured
by the 3rd cavalry about a month
since.
This is the only engagement of
any interest that has ©occurred in
province this month. Inter-
esting occurrences are becoming
exceedingly rare, but in my next
letter I hope to be able to tell
how the cities of Manilla^ Nagis-
ake9 Honolulu an*} §a« Francisco
impress a soldier.
