WHITE FIGHTING BRAVELY,

E~tcourt, Natal, Nov. 4, noon.-A
reliable messenger has just arrived
from Ladysmith, passing the Bocl
lines in the night.
He reports that heavy fighting oc-
Cured Thursday and Friday around
Ladysmith. The hottest engage
ment was on George Tatham'S farm
on The Orange Free State side O
Bester's. The British drove The
Beers back 10 their camp. The
Beers, it is SAID, suffered great loss
and 80 of them were captured.
The fighting was resumed Friday
the, Boers firing from Nosdwathshan'
Hill, near Pepwortb's farm. Agar
it is said, they were driven back
with loss, on their camp.
A large Boer force, with artillery,
under John Vessels, has taken up
position on the left of Beacon, lOcat-
ing on the w dollhouse, Picciones anC
Langvaracht farms, facing Bester's
A small commando is now encampe'

COULDN'T HOLD coLENsO.

Estcourt, Natal, Nov. 4-Evenlng
-Colenso is now in the hands OF the
Beers.
Before the evacuation was decided
upon the Beers tried to cut off the
British outposts. The Durham Light
Infantry. under Lieutenant Molyneux
and force of Dublin fusileers were
sent to the relief of the ou'posts and
brisk fight ensued. The Beers
were repulsed, leaving - dead.
The chief motive for the British
withdrawal was that the lOng-range
guns of the Beers had made the
position untenable. No orders we've
received for retirement.
The Beers shelled Colenso camp at
dawn FridAy, being apparently un-
aware of the evacuation. They looted
the stores, but did not harm the
bridges, saying that they would
want the railways themselves.
The women and children here are
crowding the trains bound for
Pictermaritzburg and Durham.

TIE WAR IN AFRICA.

Communication with Ladysmitb,
Natal. which was broken at go
O'Clock Thursday afternoon, Is still
cut off. Belated messages that are
leaking through the British censor
shin show that on Wednesday a
strong party of Beers wa1 7een from
Ladysmilh, heading southwark. This
would put them in the rear OF Gene
raj Sir George Stewart Whites army,
and it lends color TO the subsequent
reports by way of Paris and Berlin
that the Beers seized Calenso, thus
cutting off the line of the British re-
treat.
Tic Beers, at ihe last accounts
were swarming all about the British
army at Ladysmith. General Jon
bert evidently knew that his great
chance had come, and was seeking to
take advantage Oft.

The War lakes Stay,

One year and two months after
the end of our war with Spain the
"temporary" war taxes voted to
support the effort to free Cuba are
still very much in force.
The internal rev enue taxes alone
are taking from the people $1,000
600 tor every business day, oil over
S9OO,OOO,OOO a year, which is equaI
to the highest eIactions from this
SOURCE during the great civil war
And instead ofplanning for re
auctions the Government officials are
casting about for more and highei
taxes. Imperialism and militalism
do indeed come high.

Their Business Booming.

Probably no one thing has caused
such general revival of trade at b.
Sclmilt's Drug Store as their giving
away to their many customers of SO
many free trial bottles of Dr. King

Their trade is simply enormous in
this very valuable remedy, from the
fact that it always cures and never
disappoints. Coughs, Colds, Asthma,
Bronchitis, Group, and all throat and
lung diseases are quickly cured. You
can test it before buying by getting

LoNeFELCoW's ADVICE.
Kindness Was the Keynote of the
Poets Character.

Kindness Was ire hce uotc VI INV
Poets Character.
Nine. de Navarro gives some charm
ing pictures Of Longfellow In "A Few
Memories" She says that every con-
yersatlon with him led to some good
result. His first advice to her was
"See some good picture-in nature II
possible. or on canvas-hear a page OF
the hest music or read a great poem
daily. You will always find free half
hour for one or the other, and at the
end of the year your mind will SHINE
with such an accumulation Of jewels
as to astonizh even yourself
The poet was fond-of good, anus
ing story and had many to tell out Oh
his own experience. He was parucu-
larlv delighted at the ingenuity OF an
enterprising vender Of patent medicine
who. Wanting the marvellous effects
of his drug. no doubt in the hope OF III
spiring the poet. invited him to write
verse for the label, promising nm q
percentage on each bottle and free
usr Of the medicine for himself and
family.
On one of his birthdays he was as
tonished at seeing n wagon containing
piano drive up to his house, followed
by n strange young lady in carriage
The Young lady informed the house
l,eoner that she wished is, piano to be
mt In n room where it would sound
we'll" as she had composed n piece OF
music in honor of the poets birthday
and meant to play it to him on her own
instrument.
Longfellow was n great lover OF mu-
sic. and Wagner appealed to MN
strongly. We heard several operas to-
pether in Boston after my engagement
there. He generally arrived before u.s.
armed with flowers and full Of delight
full anticipations. On one of these occa'
sions some one sent n magnificent bou-
met TO our box. Not knowing the do

on my doing so.

"and take up these beautiful flowers

WHITE FIGHTS on.

The most important development
in such ofthc war news from Natal
As the British censors permit to be-
come public is that the british, wi @
were driven from Colcnse, have
probably rc'rcate Ito ES'cout, about
13milcs iuti,er south. E>tcoult is
naturally well suited to defense, and
better stand can probably he made
there than at Colenso.
The latest news from Ladysmitl
received Monday refers to Friday
events. General White had made
two brave dashcs against tie Beers
in both of which he is reported &c
have heen successful. The garrison
was holding out well.
There are fears of a Boer attack Oh
Pietermaritzburg. a volunteer corps
will be organized for the defense OF
that town.
Trains have stopped running on
the Natal Railway north Of PETER
lnaritzburg.
Renewed fears are expressed that
the Basuto natives will rise and take
part in the war. The English allege
that the Basutos can scarcely be re-
strained from helping them, and that
should General White have another
reverse. they would almost surely
rise.
Prince Christian Victor, OF
Schleswig.Holstein, grandson OF
Queen Victoria and captain IN the
Kings Royal Rifles, has left Cape
Town for Ladysmith.
President Steyn, of the Orange
Free State, in a proclamation calling
on the burgbers to fight for their in

Robbed the Grave.

A startling incident, of which Mr..
John Oliver, of Philadelphia, was
the subject, is narrated by him as
follows: Il was in most dreadful
condition. My skin was almost yell
low, eyes sunken, tongue coated
pain continually in back and sides,
no appetite-gradualIy growing
weaker day by day Three ply
sicians had given me up Fortunate

Bitters:' and to my great joy and
surprise, the first bottle made de

FOR THE FARMER.


Even when only few of each
kind of plants are wanted it is
usually better to make hotbed and
raise them than to depend upon
buying One decided advantage in
growing them is that they will I've
on hand ready for planting when
ever the conditions are most favor
able.
When only small bed is needed
it is less trouble to make it above
ground than to dig out trench or
hole and make it in the ground.
Good results may be secured by
either plan. II made above ground
set boards on edge around the space
to be inclosed, and drive stout
stakes to hold the boards in place.
The boards should be at least IS
inches high on the lower side and
"a inches on the upper side, so as
to give Sufficient slant to turn water.
When possible an exposure to the
south shorld always be selected in
order to get the full benefit of the
sun. Put layer of forest leaves or
straw in the bottom and then fill
nearly full with coarse, fresh ma
nure from the horse stable, taking
care to spread itevenly and to tramp
it well, SO that it will settle we'll
together.
Over the top of the manure spread
a layer of fine, sandy loan. Let it
stand about three days before SOW
ing the seed. To economize space to
the best advantage it is best TO SOW
the seed in drills, taking care not to
sow the seed too thick. In order to
make vigorous, stocky plants they
must have room to grow, while if
the seed is sown thick the plants
will grow tall and spindling. GEN
orally it will be best to press the
soil down well upon the seed after
sowing in order that the soil aud
seed may be in close contact. Cab
bage, tomato, caulifiower and pepper
plants may be grown in this way,
and, later on, celery plants. If de-
