Today the GRAPHIC received letter from it's friend, Capt. J. H. Hawley. of Grady, which states that Mir. D. Bittenger, the we'll known druggist of that place, one morning this week killed a gobbler even larger than the one shot by Mir. Hellums. This fowl weighed 24 pounds after it was dressed. and is said to have been the largest of it's species ever killed in that vicinity. Capt. Hawley says that wild turkeys are very numerous in the vicinity of Grady.

Good Citizen.
The practical benefit OF the estab lish-
ment Of m Arbor Day Is recognized by
every Intelligent man and woman who
realizes TINT our forests are not by my
means ns they appear. inexhaustiblc.
Gov. Pattison In one of those who fore
see the end which IL 40 rapidly mp
preaching, and I'm his official capacity
he has given voice and effect to the
general feeling by setting apart April
10 and 20 Ak days to be observed by the
citizens Of Pennsylvania In planting
trees. At least. this IL the manifest In
tention, and though IL IL likely that
only a comparatively small proportion
or the population OF the State will ear
ry out fully the spirit of the day and
actually add something to our forest
growth by setting out one or more sap
lings, the occasion by no means loses its
value on that account. Arbor Day is
not to be looked upon as temporary
institution. Its purpose Is to prevent
the denudatiOn OF the country by max
ing up, as far as possible, for the cut
ting down OF old trees by planting sap
lings Like every plan which is in
tended to be broad and lasting in its
character and accomplishment, 1t has
to be thoroughly explained to the peO-
pie and its aim and the need for 1t
made clear. In this way, and in this
way only, can it secure general support
and be carried out effectively. The
people OF PENNSYLVANIA, as those Of
every State, must be taught that the
Office of the forests is something more
than to serve as building material or
fire wood. that they are absolutely es-
sential to the genality and continued
pUductivcness of the soil in that they
catch. retain and properly distribute
moisture by means of their foliage and
wide extending roots; the people must
be taught that for every tree they re-
move, another should be put in its
place as n sapling. This lesson learned,
the observance of ArbOr Day will be
immediate in it's benefit to the country.
AS it is now the effect of the Governors
official notice that these two days,
April u for the southern portion and
April 30 for the northern portion of
the State. are set apart as Arbor Days
Is rather to attract notice to the reason
for that notice and the intended pur-
pose of the occasion than to secure the
planting of many young trees. All the
same the plan is slowly but surely
working out its own accomplishment.
Each year more and more people are
setting out saplings on Arbor Day, and
that the example is contagious cannot
be doubted. Every influence should be
employed to secure further extension
of this observance. Public sentiment
has undergone n most decided and de-
sirable change upon the subject. 1t
should be considered by every citizen
that it is his duty to further strengthen
this sentiment and direct ii in the right
way.

one of the assailants crawled from
shelter to shelter being the only marks
for the British rifles, while all the time
the puffs Of smoke indicated the where
abouts Of the assailants. On favorable
ground, they operate as dismounted
cavalry, their horses being held In re-
serve In the rear; IL defeated, to mount
and scurry away Is but the work Of
moment, so that infantry operating
against them Is at a serious, not to say
fatal disadvantage. The British army
will have no easy task before 1t when
1t attempts the subjugation Of the
Transvaal, and 1t Is altogether probable
that the question will ultimately be
deferred rather than solved by driving
the whole Boer nation little further
into Africa and waiting until the
growth Of the British colonies renders
definite solution imperative.
In their home life the Beers are ex-
tremely primitive. They are frontiers
men. and occupy the country only in
the sense that they live on it, hunt over
it and pasture their herds on its grassy
plains. AS already intimated, they do
not take kindly to agricultural pursuits,
and although the highlands Of South
Africa contain some of the richest land
in the world. it receives from them
comparatively little attention. A Boer
home In the South African Republic is
as rude shelter as the log hut of the
American frontiersman. The climate
is salubrious and the heat of the sum-
mcr and mildness Of the winter com
bine to render elaborate houses unnec-
cssary; so long as the rain is kept out,
little more is needed; and the Boer, in
his fiimsy hut. is as well contented as
though in palace. He has never had
luxury and does not miss it, while
most of the conveniences of civilization
are to him unknown even by name. In
his quickly built home, with plenty of
native servants to do his work, and
with horses and ostriches stalking
about the premises, he drinks his home
made beer, smokes tobacco raised in
his own patch and is happy. His only
drawback to perfect contentment is
the dread of English supremacy; his
only hatred is of the Cape Colony au-
thorities.
His long separation from his Holland
home has not tended to modify his
traits of character; to all intents and
purposes he is Just as much of Dutch
