There Is a story which is amply true,
that an Englishman shooting with
Boer, and having his cartridge belt full
up asked Dom Dante why be only took
three cartridges with him. The Boer
said he only meant to bring home three
buck. He got his three buck, sure
enough, and the Englishman got moth

Grafton. The shooting of the younger is
by no means SO good to-day, as is
shown by the wappen- schouWings, or
rifle contests, which are held in country
dorps, or villages, and at which Beers
and rooineks (Euglishmen) meet in
more or less friendly fashion. The old
Boer could unerringly hit buck, rum

young Boer is not much good at bot
tie at two or three hundred yards. or
course there are exceptions, but they
are few. n
Current news shows us that the Boef
retains his extraordinary power Of ra-

and sparsely populated district; but, on
the other dand it is certain that his
shooting has materially deteriorated,
and that his waste of ammunition is ri
diculous
His method of fighting, as is we'll
known is semi barbaric. The smallest
cover is taken advantage of with the
skill of the Zulu, ut there is not that
cohesion, battle formation, discipline or
pluck which that redoubtable nation
possesses. Every Boer fights on his
own account and although there is
nominal commandment of the commando
of each district, his authority Is by no
cans absolute.
A Boer camnlando will retreat in con-
fusion if two men are killed. They in
variably conceal the exact number of
their loss, and always underestimate it
in subsequent reports. Their policy is
to appear invincible. In their Male-
boch campaign they certainly lost over
two hundred men, yet their official re-
turns did not show one-tenth OF that
number The seriously wounded We're

BATTLE BETWEEN PAINTERS
ANTI A CEA-TJON

A battle royal occurred on Hog Is
land between two large panthers and
a gigantic sea-lion. A torn and bloody
panther-slin and ripper of the sea-
lion, which was torn off during the
struggle, bear evidence of the en-
counter.
Hog Island is situated near, the
mouth OF Tomales Bay, and its only
inhabitant is Lewis Johnson, whose
vocation is that of fisherman and
chicken-farmer. Yesterday Samuel
Short, a resident of Tomales, paid
Johnson a visit with the intention OF
buying some chickens The two men
were standing watching the antics of a
number of sea-lions on a reef where
their rockery is situated, when they
became aware that something unusual
was going on. The sea -lons began to
below, and all dived into the water ex-
cept one huge fellow, who stood his
ground and appeared to be watching
something. In a moment the cause of
the alarm became manifest, when two
large panthers, which had swum from
the mainland, crawled upon the reef
and made for the sea-lion.
They pounched upon the big fellow,
and a struggle Immediately ensued
that made the two human witnesses
of the battle gaze with bated breath.
The fight progressed for nearly thirty
minutes, during which the edge Of the
reef was lined with crimson foam by
the blood flowing from the three COM
batants. Finally, one of the panthers
succeeded in tearing flipper off the
sea lion when, with a hoarse below
of anger, the wounded bull grasped
one of the panthers by the throat and
dragged it into the water. The sea-
and would have succeeded If he had
not become weakened from the loss of
blood. AS he released his adversary
Lewis, who had previously been two
fascinated to move ran to his house
for rifle and returned in time to kill
one Of the panthers as they made an
other attack upon the sea-lion. The
other panther sprang into the water
and swan for the mainland at the
crack of the gun, while the sea-lion
struggled out towards the ocean to die.
Where the battle occurred hole
was torn in the soft mud broad and
deep enough in which to bury a horse.
Both men assert that twice the sea-
lion succeeded in striking a panther
with his tail knocking it ten feet
away.-San Francisco Call.

For six years, Mr.. G. G. James filled
the Office Of county assessor, prior to
1895, and discharged its responsible.
ties with dutiful regard to the obli'
gations devolviug upon him. His in-
oumbency Of the Office was marked by
diligent application to his duties, by
correct habits Of industry and by the
uniform courtesy which Is 20 winning
. trait among public officials,and which
10 distinguished quality possessed,
we are glad to say, by the candidates
who are already mentioned in connec-
tion with the different Offices to be fill-
ed. Mr.. James is announced as a
for Sheriff. He is q young
man Of good abilities, and Is endorsed
by number Of friends, who have
long known him. He is an indus
trious farmer, and grew up to q ster-
ling manhood in Grenada county,
and has always been staunch and
working Democrat. II nominated, he
will acquit himself with credit and
with an Intelligent grasp Of the in.
terests conided to his charge.

The public square Of the city, is a
spot that deserves some attention, as 1t
is the general centre Of the local trade.
BY making it itattractive, the appearance
of the town would be improved and
would favorably Impress strangers, az
we'll as our own people. That corral
however, in the middle Of the square
is, to say the least Objectionable, as BE-
ing the hitchiug quarter for horses and
teams, permitting the accumulation Of
the refuse and litter, which are often
sive to the gaze, as we'll as exhaling
impurities that infect the air. Why
not tear 1t down and remove 1t to some
less conspicuous place, where a relay
would be found for teams, and put into
a circle Of verdue, with neat iron
fence or coping around 1t, If necessary.

A Weather Forecast.

The weather prophet 10 his forecast
gives warning Of severe cold from the
LIST to the 4th, to day, moderating on
the 5th and developing minor storms
Of considerable severity, Tomorrow
and Monday, and very cold, the 7th to
the 9th. The first regular storm
period, 10th to 18th will be aggravated
BY the combined activity OF the new
moon on the 10th, with the planets
vulcan and venus. Judging from the
predictions of the weather sages, this
month will be one Of great and violent
meteorological disturbance. Violent
gales and heavy rains will prevail In
the northern states, about the 10th
and thunder gusts In the south. The
rest Of the month promises to be as un
propitious.

Bishop Turner'S Address.

The address Of Bishop Turner at
Mullin Hall, Friday night Of last week
was listened to by large number Of
attentive people, including consider
able contingent Of white citizens. He
referred to the important work of the
missionaries In Africa, saying that 1t
was a promising field for our colord
people, who might desire to seek q home
in other lands. Personally, he Is in
favor Of the suggestion Of emigration,
differing in this respect from bishop
Derrick. The college for colored stu
dents In the South offers many oppor-
tunities for the education Of the color
ed young men. But the field is limited
in America, while Africa presents
chances that are productive of rich
results. More timely remarks were
made on these and other lines which
ELECTED favorable comments.

ON RI0HT SIDE OF LEDGER.

The close Of January brought with
1t the end Of the fiscal month, and oul
business men found their ledgers post
ed up. with u satisfactory sheet balance
on the rigEt side. The first month ol
the year 10 usually dull. # is an ad.
mitted axiom In trade, that after holi.
davs business stag gnstes. The reaction
10 general. But, in spite Of the vaca-
tions and the bad weather, our trades
men In all lines are we'll con,ented
with the months operations. A nota.
Bile fact, as at:ested by the promptuess
with which obligations have been can
celed, is that no scarcity Of currency
has been in evidence. Money appeared
to be sufficiently abundant not only for
the liquidation of liabilities, but for
all purposes. January a. a rule Is not
favorable to dealings in dry or fancy
goods, still the dry goods stores de-
clare, that their business has been
more than fair, giving promise Of an
active spring season, which is the busy
time In their specially.
The grocery stores show for the
month excellent returns, the demands
for family supplies especially, having
been brisk. Iu the line OF fancy gro
ceries, the sales have been good and for.
tunately our grocery stores were we'll
supplied. In fact, at no time before,
have the shelves and counters been so
plentifully stocked. In other specialties
like hardware, harness and saddlery,
and the like, though at this time Of the
year, the demand is not active, dealers
are we'll satisfied with the months
operations. The banks make fine &C.
counting and their business in the ag-
gregate bespeaks their stanch cnarac>
ter among monetary institutions, while
at the same time, they reflect the
dourishiug condition Of Grenada and

BISHOP DERRICK


At the request OF the pastor, Bishop
Derrick, Of the A. M. E. Church, made
an address TO the Sunday school and
Epworth League Sunday afternoon, in
the basement Of the Methodist Church.
There was large number Of the citi-
sens Of our city present to hear the dis
tinguished divine ir addition to the
force ofcollege students. The audience
was more than pleased with the Bish-
op. His theme-''The growth and
value Of Missions''- handled in q
captivating sort Of way-snd, despite
his hoarseness-the effect Of q severe
cold-the speaker created and held in.
terest for his theme by eloquent
speech, apt illustration and, a mastery
array Of historical facts, which gave
tue subject beautiful setting and won
for Bishop Derrick place on the plat
form Of public speakers.
The Bishop, with deep feeling re-
ferred to himself as a convert to Chris
tianity by means Of devoted missionary
effort In one of the far off islands in the
Caribbean sea. He gloriiied God and
rejolced in the gospel Of his salvation,
the gospel Of missions. 1t was indeed
an object lesson Of striking force, OF
gospel power; this man, once a ''heath-
en- in his blindness" now, with eyes
opened-mental and spiritual vision
unimpaired-standing before acultured
audieuce Of white people telling in
words Of melting tenderness the won-
derful works Of God-'whereas I was
blind now I see."
Bishop Derrick was deeply touched
by the generous treatment he had met
at the hands Of the Southern white
people, and said: "You have honored
me; and shall tell to the Northern
people, as I 60 among them, how little
they know Of you and how much you
have been misrepresented to Them"
At the conclusion Of the address,
Rev. T. W. Dye supplemented the re.
marks with q few strong words OF COM
mendation OF the Bishops useful
career and gave expression to the hope
and belief that his lsbors would re-
dound to the advancement Of the race.
