We, your committee appointed
to draft in expression of the bar of
Grayson Connie with reference to
the late Judge Bledsoe, respectfully
submit the followings
The great Napoleon, when naked

“Then is • maw." This best de-
scribes Judge Bledsoe. The qual
•*y most admired -in a man is
strength, and this Judge Bledsoe
possessed. He wss strong in body,
strong in mind, strong in bis convic-
tions, strong in bis sense of right,
strong in everything.
This strength was displayed in
everything be undertook, and, of
course, achieved success. He
showed himself a gallant soldier, a
fine surveyor, an able lawyer and a
just judge.
Neglecting all arts of polish and
hating dap-trap and pretenses with
all his soul, his wonderful faculty
of presenting bis thoughts in a tew
terse strikingly original expressions,
often spoken somewhat in a broken
manner owing to a stoppage in his
speech, generally carried conviction
home to all who beard him. Always
fearless and outspoken in his con-
victions be was called affectionately
by the people “Hooest Old Joe.”
Like all strong men he had a
kindly heart. Misfortune never ap
pealed to him again, and never was
hi* power so fully displayed as
when he exerted it in defense of the
weak and oppressed.
He lived the full term allotted to
man in this world, but yet in his
death his family morn the loss of a
kind, devoted husband and father,
the bar, a lawyer of high character
and ability, aod the community at
large, a true man.
To the memory of such a man,
flowers are not appropriate. Rather

A dispatch from Madrid of yes-
terday says the ministers were es-
pecially summoned last evening to
hear read telegrams from Senor
Montero Rios, president of the
Spanish peace commission, stating
that the Americans demanded all
the Philippines, but would under-
take to assume the debt of the is-
lands, provided Spain pays tbe
Cuban d.bt.
The Spanish commissioners
strongly objected to this, and insist
that tbe United States should as-
sume the Cuban debt and allow
Spain to take the war material in
Cub* and Porto Rico. The govern-
ment fully expected that the Ameri-
cans would accept the Cuban debt.
T he complete evacuation of Porto
Rico is expected to take place by
October 15. The people are hope-
less of the result of the peace com-
missioners’ negotiations.

Some one passed the word along,
“Boys, we must retreat.”
“Hang It, no,” aaya ancient Joe,
“Never Uke to flight.”

He’s all right.

Fighting men got sick;

All began to kick.

and other powers to exert their I
influence to withdraw the final set-
tlement of the Philippine question
from the Paris commission to an
international conference in case tbe
United States should insist on any-
thing more in the archipelago than a
