death of Mr. It. P. Joyce's two

Winston this week.
The mayor showed good judg
ment this week in releasing the
worthless negro, Will Moore. The
ne»ro was convicted of a violation
of one of the town ordinances. The
tine and costs amounted to SB.OO.
The first thought of the mayor was
to imprison him in the county jail,
but later he remitted the fine, re
leasing the prisoner on condition
that he never return to our city
without the SB.OO. As soon as our
city prison is completed we can
attend to prisoners in a manner
profitable to the city.

We had another little wind
storm here today, but no danger
resulted like the one of a lew
weeks ago.
Air. L>. B. Tuttle looks real sad
this week because Miss Daisy L.

think-he will soon get over all

mind is not settled. But Oh! he
seems so heart broken, we can't
get much work out him this week.
Guess Mr. Arthur Tuttle will
have to get him another rocking

GREAT VICTORY FOR JAPANESE.!
Nineteen Russian Warships Sunk
and Over 3.000 Prisoners Taken.
According to the latest informa
tion, the battle between the Rus
sian and Japanese naval forces for
the supremacy of the Oriental
seas, on which the outcome
of the far Eastern struggle, has be
gun, if it has not terminated de
cisively. All the dispatches re
ceived point to a Japanese victory,
though it is not yet known wheth
er the full force of Vice Admiral
Hojestvensky's tighing ships took
part in the contest, which, accord
ing to the dispatches, took place
in the comparatively narrow wa
ters of the Straits of Korea. The
first information came in a dis
patch from the American consul
at Nagasaki to the State Depart
ment at Washington, telling that
the Japanese had sunk one Rus
sian battleship, four other warships
and a repair ship in the Korean
Strait, and this was followed by a
dispatch received by the State
Department, the date of which
was not given, that the "Japanese
government had made the an
nouncement that its Heet had en
gaged the Russians in the Straits
of Korea Saturday and had held
them." The State Department
also received information that two
of the vessels reported to have
been sunk were the sister battle
ships Orel and Borodino, and that
three of the other ships were
cruisers. From Tsingtau, the j
German port on the Shantung J
peninsula, came a report that a
running naval engagement took
place near the Island of Oki, in
the Sea of Japan, 200 miles north
east of the Straits of Korea, and
that the whole Russian Heet did
not participate, the slow vessels"
having been sent around Japan.
Russian sources give no news of
the battle, while tlio Japanese
government, following its custom,
is »ilent as to either the battle or
its outcome.
LATER.
Later advices mag
nitude of the disaster suffered by
the Russian Heet. and jxiint to
the fact that Russia's hopes, so
fnr as this war is concerned, now
lie in whatever may be accom
plished by the oft-beaten army in
Manchuria. An official report re
ceived from Tokio by the Jap.
legation at Washington Monday
says that the Russian losses defi
nitely known include two battle
ships, a coast defense ship, five
cruisers, two special ships and
three destroyers sunk, and two
battleships, two coast defense
ships, one destroyer and one spec
ial service ship captured, while
over 2,000 Russians were killed
and !5,000 captured. The Japanese
are still pursuing the Russians.

GERMANTON ROUTE ONE.
Germaton Route 1, May 24—1
am not a subscriber to your paper
but a reader. I enjoy reading it
very much. Most especially Dog-
Killer's letters. And right here I
want to give you my decision. I
think Dog-Killer has made a clear
ease and has proved beyond a
reasonable doubt that the whiskey
business is condemned by the
Biblfe. 1 think I should forfeit
the five dollars as agreed upon,
and cheerfully send his name to
the Reporter along with many
others which we hope to see.
Friends of temperance, let us in
this simple way show the world
that we are not in sympathy with
this monstrous evil that is wreck
ing the lives of so many and bring
j ing to want so many precious
I mothers and helpless children,
iThis is my first attempt to write
for publication.
Hope to see a long list.

DYING OF FAMINE
is, in its torments, like dying of
consumption. The progress of
consumption, from the beginning
to the very end, is a long torture,
both to victim and friends. "When

Ceorfoss, Md., 'after trying dif
ferent and a good, in
