H. H. JOHNSTON. tlSeS Is Sfea,Sily
going on, and an end has been put to the
atrocities Of those human vultures of At
rica-the Arab slave traaers and the na-
tive chiefs who are their plant tools
Commissioner Johnston WAS born in
London IS years ago received collegiate
education, studied painting at the Royal
academy and exhibited a few pictures. He
was far from well, however, and in 1850
bctook himself to Africa in search Of
health and adventure Since then he has
followed in the footsteps Of Explorers
Stanley and Thompson and has enriched
the worlds knowledge of Africa's anthro-
pology, zoology, botany and entomology,
besides giving to the press three interest
ing and instructing books-'The River
Congo, The kilima Njaro Expedition"
and The History of a Slave"
This last named work Is q romance ex-
posing the crueltics inflicted by the inhu-
man Moorish slave traders. In July,
1891, Mr. Johnston established his admin
istration in Nyassaland and at once dem
onstrated that he could fight as well as he
could write against the slave traffic With
q small force OF Sikhs and Zanzibaris and
two gunboats he gave the hostile slave
trading chiefs such a severe chastising
that the name slave is only q memory
in Nyassaland at the present time. There
are eight missionary societies in the coun-
try, and Mr.. Johnston is loud in their
praise.
There Is no better eolonizing influ-
ence, he says. The missionaries teach
the natives many useful trades and make
them bootmakers, carpenters and printers.
Even IL it were only for the colonizing and
civilizing influence they exert, every pen
ny subscribed To African missionary soci-
cites would be well expended
Several newspapers are printed, and the
type is set by the natives. Mr. Johnston
says that not long ago n notice in German
was handed to the Yao head printer, and IL
was set up with hardly a mistake, although
the native competitors had never seen
German before. One popularity Of the
climate is that it remains so temperate
that roses bloom the whole year round

GOODWIN TIM ES.

 R. Hart and Albert Singer, of Brinkley, were in Goodwin Tuesday. They were here for the purpose of buying timber.

 There is good attendance at the prayer meetings in Goodwin on Saturday night of each week, and it is a blessing which many appreciate.
 The Goodw in Sunday school is we'll at- tended. The superintendent and teach CTS as well as the scholars are manifesting considerable interest in its success.
 Heavy rains occurred in Goodwin on last Monday evening and Tuesday morn- ing, though not needed. yet they will do no material damage, as farmers are well up with their planting interest. The crops are promising. and an abundant harvest is expected. If the price of cot ton could be increased some during the coming season, together with an average crop of cotton. corn, etc.. this country would be placed in better financial con- dition than since the days before the late unpeasantness.
 The farmers of this section are really getting along better DOW than for many years. The hard times are beginning to to teach them the value of few head of good cows, good garden, few head of hogs, good poultry yard, and little at tention to the raising of little more corn and other provender. Instead of as in for mer years, making large accounts. they are buying sparingly. How is 1t that far less favored countries than ours have been so much more prosperous. Has their system of management been better than ours If so, let us get out of the old ruts. and see if we can't learn something. Where can we find country blessed with the adyan- tages we have here. We can plant and harvest almost continuously from Novem- Der 10 November again-the country as it is being cleared is growing more healthy every year, If we work under proper system how can it be otherwise in few years that instead of borrowing and ask ing for credit, we can extend it. For years this country should have bossomed and the farmers should have worn smiles.
