Washington, May 9 Extraordinary
measures have been adopted by- the
administration to moblize fifty thou
sand volunteers at Chieamaugo imme
diately. The cabinet this morning dis
cussed the proposition for the imme
diate invasion of Cuba with the vol
unteers at Chick amauga, augmented
with sixteen thousand United States
regulars.
The determination to land troops in
Cuba is a result of Admiral Dewey's
overwhelming victory at Manila. The
government believes that the Army of
Invasion will be backed by Admiral
Sampson's fleet and that the Cubans
will be liberated by midsummer.
Transports sufficient to land sixty
thousand troops in Cuba have been
chartered by the government and are
awaiting orders. The government in
tends to land the regulars this week
and the volunteers next week.

During the meeting between the ves
sels one of the crew of the Yale said

THE WEBSTERIAN SOCIETY
Olves a Delightful Entertainment at
Old Guilford.
Correspondence Telegram.
Guilford College, May 8th.
The Websterian literary society, of
Guilford College, is held in high es
teem by all who know anything about
what it has done, what it is doing,
what it will do.
Not very long ago the members hon
ored the young ladies society, the
Philagorean, with an invitation to
visit their regular meeting held on
Friday evening May 6th. .fter ac
cepting the invitation our hopes were
high and our anticipations bright for
an enjoyable time. At the appointed
hour we were all seated in their taste
fully furnished hall and the regular
business of the society was entered
upon.
" We could but be impressed with the
executive ability and consideration
for parliamentary rulings which was
manifested; and a quiet dignity char
acterized all that wae done.
A delightful program had been pre
pared. The hearty applause which
followed when the young men with the
stringed instruments gave appropriate
selections testified to the fact that it
was indeed a treat. We laughed
heartily at a paper containing many
local hits and witty illusions. A pa
per on the present aspect of war, was
up-to-date and full of facts which
showed that the speakers was acquaint
ed with this subject. We cannot tell
the genuine pleasure and .profit which
was afforded by an able debate on the
annexation of territory. The argu
ments were straight and as each orator
presented his side of the question it
seemed that by the magic of his power
we were compelled to see things in
just that light.
An opportunity was given for the
visitors to speak and each one was
glad for an opportunity to express
their appreciation for the pleasure of
the evening. When one young lady
expressed her sentiments that she had
always thought the Websterians did
up things about right but now she
knew it, her words were met with a
hearty response by every Philagorean.
After the regular exercises were over
we were invited into a room where de
lightful refreshments were temptingly
arranged. This was not on the pro
gram, but the pleasant surprise made
it only the more enjoyable.
All too soon this evening came to a
close and we all recognized that our
visit to this society would live in mem
ory of one of the charming occasions
of our study at Guilford College. We
congratulate the public that on May
20th an entertainment by the "Webs"
will be given to which all be cordially
invited and we are gladto know that
many will have the privilege to enjoy
what only a few enjoyed on last Fri
day evening. Three cheers for the
"Webs."
Warned of Spanish Agents.
San Francisco, Cal., May 8 It is
stated that the Government has been
warned that the Spanish are intending
to inflict great damage in San Fran
cisco and vicinity, even if they have
no fleets and armies here to do it
with.
The information is to the effect thatf
Spanish spies will be relied upon to
work havoc on this side of the conti
nent, audit is greatly worrying both
the Governme'nt officials and local au
thorities. Measures were taken today to guad
against such a contingency as far as
possible, and the first result is the
doubling of the guards at all places
particularly exposed to snch attacks,
especially where work for the Govern
ment is going on.
Resolutions of Gratitude.
At a meeting of the congregation of
St. Andrew's church, held May 8th,
the following resolutions were adopt
ed. Resolved, That we, the congrega
tion of St. Andrew's church, deeply
grateful to God that the judgment,
costs, &c, against our church have
been paid, do hereby extend our
hearty and sincere thanks to all those
who have so kindly aided us in this
matter.
Resolved, That we especially cher
ish the kindly and Christian feeling
manifested by such timely and mate
rial assistance.
Resolved, That these resolutions be
preserved in our records and also pub
lished in our daily papers.

Are Important
Customers, in our estimation, when they
are sent to us on a trading eizand, we
always remember that they are not dis
criminating buyers, and we take special
pains to see that they get what both you
and they want.
Then we always try to be prompt in
waiting on them, there is always a little
worry at home when they are sent upon
an errand and stay too long, often
though no fault of their own.
