This island Is second in size of the Philippine group, and at present the 31st U. S, V. Inf..are the only American soldiers on island We landed at Zwhboangn, December 7, and found quite a nice little city, I t was formerly garrisoned by the Spanish, who .bearing of American victories evacuated, burning the town as they went. The buildings left standing are quite substantial and used by Chinamen ns stores, ‘aud by United .State! ris headquarters, etc, Quito a large "fort on bay, interior badly damaged by fire, is being used by Americans as corral for mules and wagons. I t is certainly a fine site for a city'-—the mountains in background, about 10 niiles and town on nice level plain on bay. A fine place to con­ struct docks. Quito a good ‘deal of shipping from- here, principally vice, hemp and cocoanut. Fresh water is supplied for town front a small sti earn coming from the mountains. It flows through principal street and about hail a bloCk interval are steps down to waters edge, where natives go down to r waifcr/ Ourcsmp while at Zam-, bohnga Was at edge of city nlong this, stream. ’ - The natives in this section are known as Moros and uot so intelli­ gent as the Filipinos.' There are quite a good many Filipinos and Chimuueu here, most of the business done by the latter. The Moras are g semi civilized face and rather indo: lent; a few work, but the majority will not work when opportunity Is offered. They wear very little clothing and their food grows wild* and all they do is gather it in and fish. Bice, bana­ nas, cocoanuts and fish ia their food. I t ought to be a good plaice for a papermill here. You nev.er see any wrapping paper, the *natives don\ know what it Is to wrap up purchases. They go to market and buy fish, meat, or fiults, carrying it borne in the suu and free for flies. Meat or fish is gen­ erally tied with a string for a hand­ hold. We were permitted passes here to go beyond guard-lines to country, without arms. I was out toward the mountains about five miles oue day. I found the soil rich and covered with vegetation, mostly rice-fields, which with proper drainage will make fine farming land. This Island is covered with much valuable timber including mahogany and ebony. There are valuable min* ersls, but a* there is no roadway* to mountains and the resourses at min­ ing etc. are limited, the mineral pro­ duct* have not been but little devel­ oped. Prospect* of gold very good, some of the boys now have small nug­ gets they have panued out of river. Our Christmas was spent here in field-day sports, Bo/* of regiment and from- gunboat Yorkiowtt, par­ taking. The honor* were about equally divided between the two. I t seemed more like our Fourth of .July at home than Christmas— weather so .warm I was contestant in foot race 100 yd. da*h, but a little too slaw, coming in third, time IS seconds, The day’*event*closed with greased pig chore lor native* only.

We arrived there Tuesday morning, Jan, 2nd. Cotta Bato ia 150 miles east of ' Zamboanga, and six .miles inland on Bio Grande Del Da Mindanao river. Companies E and H are stationed a t Parang Parang and Poiiok sub-post to this place and IQ to 12 miles distance. This place-is superior to Zamboanga there bsing mpre building and, the sidewalk and streets are better. Here there are good, wide pavements of cement and brick with cement curbing nud gutters,, The pavement at Zam­ boanga was of brick and not over two and u half ?foot wide. • The natives here are same iis Zamboanga, but not So many Filipinos or Chinamen. There is lots otj ice shipped from here more than at Zamboanga. Every boat taking out a large cargo. Datto Pinna is fn chiirge or was, of this section, and raised the American flag of his own accord. After the Spaniards left, the natives went to warring among themselves. Tomas Torres, a Spaniard with about twenty insui rectos and n few Morros at­ tempted to attack Pollok. .Torres had formerly lived at Pollok, but owiug to bis trying to incite tile natives to rebellion against the Americans, he was set upon by u'ntivt s awf with his followers driven to the Vnpnntalri*.,' It was learued by Silvia,' a ‘Ufcfive. of Pollock, tbat he (Torres) was prepar­ ing to attack Pollok on Dec. 17. Silvia immediately came to Cotta Bato, to see Major Brett and ask^for a force ofAmericans to protect him. Major Brett called Datto Pinuii and Captain Tr. Celestine Alonzo, the lending Chinaman, together, for con­ ference. ' Nothing would do Piana but to send his warriors at once to bat­ tle with Torres. Said Americans did not know language or country and would be at a disadvantage- This was agreed upon. He immediately dispatched a large flotilla to do battle with Torres, the leading boat Hying the American flag. They engaged the enemy on Dec. 17th, driving them to the mountains h r confusion, cap­ turing their insurgent flag, which was turned over to Maj, Brett. Feuritigthe insurrectoe would attack the town on bearing of their departure, they re­ turned, and engaged the enemy nt 5 a, m. Dec. 18, taking fifteen pris­ oners. This is the cfaly fighting done and a* near to fighting as the 31st has b«en so far. On visiting Parang Parang later, Major Brett found Torres on liest of terms with Datto Paqui, of Parang Parang, b >th claiming friendship with Americans and asking for troops. Torre* denied having anything to do with the insurgents. Said his visit to Pollok about this time was for sup­ plies and that be went armed for bis own protection. Peace term* were agreed upon «nd troops afe tiow sta­ tioned a t Parang Parang, and at present ncr prospect of fighting. Our sfecond day here was marred by a sad accident. Sergeant Williams of my company was drownod. He was boat riding in a native canoe when it overturned, aud in attempting to awitn ashore was drowned. His body Was recovered by a native after forty- five minutes search and was interred in an old Spanish cemetery here. This is the first death here in regi­ ment. The river here is quite a large stream, swift and full of suck-holes I t ia navigable for river steamer* 100 mile inland and i* effected thus far up by the tice from ocean. There are crocodile* to the river.

After the recent death of Senator Morris, John was selected, by Hon. John Little as partner in the wool business. It is very, evident that had it not been for the excellent business qualification evinced by Mr. Smith, he would not have been accepted as partner to a man of Mr. Little’s an­ alytical and businessjudgement. This is a short history of the John W. Smith who is in the race for nom­ ination for commissioner, subject to the Bepubiicau primary. To say that there is uo better man in the field would be putting it in mild' terms. The same business qualifica­ tions add hustling which-he has used in his business enterprises will be used in his work us commissioner, if he receives the nomination and ‘elec­ tion. The people of Jamestown and viciuity where he lived so many years and is. so favorably known, are pre­ preparing to give- him a large ma­ jority. The people of Cedarville township can do no better than to give him their unanimous support, and can feel assured, with him in the office of commissioner, that their in­ terests and funda'nre In safe keeping. JOHN W. SMITH, on East Main street, and for several yean he was a veritable “ town boy” and learned to hustle nnd mix with the human elements that go to make up this great Bepublic of ours, and was one of “ the hoys.” His parents then took John to the country, on the farm now occupied by Mrs. B. T. Bailey, aud John learned how to plow and sow, to reap and to mow, to be a veritable “ Man with a hoe.” When hut little more than eighteen years of age, he heard the sound of “The mastering dram,** hi* young soul was filled with patriotic fire, and love for his country, and he enlisted in the service of his country, under “Old Fogy,” B, E« Shiekh v, in Jamestown, February 1801 la the 74th O. V. I. and went hulk with his comrades to do hnt .le against the cn ctnies of the fl g nnd nntion. He bore himerif with manly courage through all the residue of tbat bloody conflict, marching with Bjiermau from Chattanooga to the sea, and was mustered out only when the last shot was fired at the flag and the war was declared to be “ over,” He Was in the “Grand review” at Washington, D. C.« and returned to take up the duties of civil life, as man among men, In 1866 he was married to Miss Barah E, Patterson, of Wilmington, O. For almost twenty years he was associated with Mr, A, G. Carpenter, of Jamestown, iu the busiuess of buy­ ing and shipping stock from around this locality. The firm was, and has always been known a* one of the most satisfactory to the farmer* of this country dealing squarely, honestly and justly. For two term* John was almost unanimously elected to the office of township Trustee of Bilver- creek tottnehip, and- ten years ago, without opposition, he was selected as “Land appraiser” for Bilvercreek township. Hi* official duties were said to have given less dissatisfaction and trouble than those of any other Ilka officar in this county Ona year ago he was elected In* firtfarv director, a very rcspoftribte bwtaat a lucrative office, |a this aawkty Tinas ewnstituts Many Greene county people will rcncinOer Rev.

The style is simple and Unique, the word “ power” forming the unit and ent-h letter of the word consecutively being the nucleus for a new word. The niauner is indeed novel. It has copious enumeration of scripture texts bearing on the subject, Under the special guidance of Him whom it purposed to honor it cannot fall of doing great good.
