Marines are fighting a little two by four war In Nicaragua. Where is Nicaragua and what la all the dlaturbanceubout anyway? A good many people know the approximate location of Nicaragua on the Old globe and a few ok them think, 'think is right)* they know what_ it's all abont. It is not surpris ing that so few know much about it, for who gives a. Tinkers ? But it is surprising, omft^ng even, to reflect that so few people know about the war that raged In the very heart of this fair city of ours last week. There were more casualties In this one battle than there have been .in the whole Nicaraguan cam. paign. I The engagement lasted from 9:30 p. m. until 11:00 p. m. last Thursday night, February 2nd. Battery B, 113th Field Artillery N. C. National Guard made a brilliant and successful attack on three barrels of oysters,, covering themselves with glory ahdi : oyster Battery B, led by that doughty sol. dier, Capt. E. F. Griffin, were making a gallant but losing fight against the oyster shock troops, when Generals B. T. Holden and A. H. Fleming, aid ed by Colonels R. F. Yarborough and H. G- Perry of the "Medjcoa," Colonel Hugh Perry of the "Legalitea" and Majors Tracy Stockard and Cheatham Alston of the Reserves, hurled them, selves into the thickest of the fray. Battery B. encouraged by the mighty deeds of arms of these heroic war. riors, rallied So strongly to the at tack that in a short while the lost of the enemy was slaughtered. It Is said that after the Jast oyster fell, fighting bravely, Sgt. Fred Frailer had to hiiie th? cooking utensils, for fear some of the warriors would slay them. We regret very much to have to 1 state that Major Beasley of the U. S. Army, who is the National Guard In. ; Structor, and of whom we expected to ! see so much In the way of valor, vain, gloriously retired soon after the en gagement started. We state this as proof of what we have always con. tended, that the National Guard la more valiant, (especially at the ta. ble), than 'the Regular Army. The oyster army was entirely an nihilated. There were no casualties among the members of the Battery but Major Boddle reports an unprece. ! dented sale of C C pills and a slight increase in the sale pf bromide and spirits of ammonia. The occasion of this battle was when the Non Commissioned Officers of Battery B, assisted by a few privates, {were hosts to the remainder of the | outfit Messrs. B.T. Holden, Cheat | ham Alston, Hugh Perry, and Tracy Stockard, Drs. Yarborough, Perry and : Fleming, and Major Beasley of the U. S. Army were guests of the Mattery. BUYS MACHINERY FOB CREAMEBY Dr. W. R.
