day morning The whole town has been
wiped out of existence. The houses

proved unavailing, Not a house is left
standing, and 400 people are left home-

There is no fire department, and no
provision was made for the sudden
coming of such calamity. How the
fire originated has not yet been ascer-

Home From Africa


Mr.. James NJ. Reid, son of Capt. o..
L. Reid, of this city, arrived home last
Saturday evening from st. Paul de Loan
do, Africa, where he has been for nearly
four years engaged in locating a line of
railroad for the Portuguese government
into the interior of the "dark con-
tinent.
For some months the family have been
anticipating the joy of again welcoming
home the son and brother, and Saturday
last they realized their anticipations and
their cup of joy was full to overlooking.
Capt. Reid and two of his daughters,
Miss Nora and Miss Fannie, met him at
Denison.
Many of our citizens, on hearing of
Mr.. Reid IS return, repaired to the family
residence to welcome him home with that
piece of music which always touches the
heart of the traveller, "Home, Sweet
Home, rendered by the Pilot Point
band. An elegant supper, which had
been prepared by the mother and sisters,
was awaiting his arrival, of which the
band boys and others were partakers.
Several hours were pleasantly spent in
looking at the many curiosities which
Mr.. Reid brought with him from the
clark continent. -
This writer had the pleasure of a few
hours visit on Thursday with Mr.. Reed
and was highly interested in his descrp-
ton of that country, its customs and
present and contemplated Improvements.
For fear of making errors, as we took no
notes during our visit, we will not at
tempt a report of the interesting account
of his four years sojourn in that far-of
land, but will say that we were agree
ably surprised to learn of the extent Of
the inroRds civilization has made into
Africa, although it may seem insignih-
cant when we learn that the Portuguese
have had possessions here for more than
a century.
MIR. Reed contemplates returning in
about six weeks at the request of the
company with whom he has established
confidence. He will hold the position of
superintendent of construction.

other hand, however, there is a duty
which each individual owes 10 society in
the matter of exerting an influence
against evil-doIng; and this he cannot
ignore with impunity. Every one, con-
soiously or unconsciously, is, in q greater
or less degree, led or restrained by public
opinion. AS an aggregate of individual
opinion this force is constantly at work
moulding the conduct of the community.
All law, to be effective, must follow this
force, since without its sanction no law is
fully executed. Besides, there Is much
in the way of vice that no law
can touch, but there is little that
would hold its head under the ban
of public opinion honestly and frankly
expressed. This is not the field of the
reformer, with his aggressive ideas and
distasteful oficiousness; it is rather that
of the Quiet, self-respecting citizen, who
is possessed of the moral courage Deces-
sary to make him refuse to smile upon
the social monster whom his conscience
condemns; to refuse to grasp in friend
ship the hand of one from whose prac-
tees of life all his best instincts recoll;
to welcome to his home one in whose in
tegrity he has no confidence. The sem
timent SO fatal to good government and
social welfare, which seeks to avert the
just penalty of crime regardless of the
danger to which such action exposes the
community, is only an extension of in
difference to wrong which is q menacing
power everywhere. In this connection
it is not too much to say that if evil
dong were the matter of intelligent con-
Germ that it ought TO be, no mere pity
or pain, or compassion for a criminal,
should induce an interference in the
just measures taken to suppress crime by
visiting just penalty upon wrong-doers
under sentence for violation of law.
