51,000 yearly out of the Pemberton
ates in Cambridgeshire. She was
rried to Mr. Pemberton in 18S0, af

moving to points iv Texas. Lieut.
Johnson has been on a leave of absence
of several months which time he spent

in the Cuban swamps with Gomez,
when he was sent on a scout and spe

one time his relatives here heard he
had been killed by his own men, but

in . orders requiring him to

ginally intended caused him to go at
once to his command. He has pretty
fully recovered his lost health.

It Is Seventy-five Years Old.
A subscriber writing from Craigs
ville, says: "Enclosed you will ffind $1
for which you will continue sending I
me the Weekly Spectator for thej
present-year. How old is the Specta
tor? I have known it ever since I
was a small boy, when it wore its first
swaddling clothes. My father was one
of the first subscribers to the dear old
Spectator, 86 or 75 years ago. It is
one of the best and most substantial
papers published in the State. Long
may it live to Jgive the general news
of the county."
