BoeTs Are Not Hampered With
 Their Transports,
CENSOR STOPPING THE NEWS
The Burghers Leave Little Trace of the Direction in Which They Have Gone and Many Get
 Safely Away.

London, April %, 3:3O a. m.-The total ab- sence of news from the seat of war in South Africa during the last twenty-four hours, it is presumed indicares that opera tions are progressing which 1t is deemed prudent to keep secret.
 So far as the situation in the southeast ern part of the Free State can be worked out from the latest dispatches, the main body of the Boers composed of the forces recently holding Thaba NChu, Lieuw Kop and Dewetsdorp, is retiring probably with view of joining in the neighborhood of Ladybrand the commandos from the vicinity of Wepener, who according to a dispatch from Aliwanorth, dated April 2S, made good their retreat to Ladybrand The main body of the Boers is being followed by sGenerals Hamilton, French, Brabant and Hart, while General Rundle also is on the spot
 The British thus far have an overwhelm- ingly superior force, and ought to wipe out the Boers if they succeed in overtaking them and bringing them to bay.
 It may be assumed that the Boers are to the eastward of line down from Tha- ba N'chu to Wepener. The retreat, 1t seems, is being carried out without fight ing, which indicates that the Boers have a good start, and the dispatches say they are not hampered much by transport, and leave no visible wheel tracks behind them on the veldt.
 This initiates against the probability of their being overtaken and forced to a de- cisive action.
 May Get Away Safely
 While 1t is possible that such a battle may come at any moment, the chance seems even that the retreating com manaoes. may get away without being forced to turn and fight.
 It is within the range of possibility that Lord Roberts, without waiting for the out come of the maneuvers, may begin his advance northward. This may be the se- cret that the censor has been so jealously guarding. The outcome of this interesting situation cannot be now long delayed.
 The news from other points is unimpor- tant and uninterestng. Shipping and she'll ing continue about Warrenton, apparently Intellectually, as no casualties have been reported on either side.
 A special dispatch from Beira, dated April 27, states that the dispatch of Gen. eral Carrington's division to Rhodesia is proceeding as rapidly as circumstances will permit. Seven transports have al- ready landed troops and stores.

 In the reports of the matter wired from New York yesterday 1t was intimAted that the departure of Gates and Lambert and the rest of the steel and wire aggregation from the east was accelerated by the fear that if they remained longer these writs would be served.

Mrs. Nancy Bane Higginbotham

Among the many old citizens of Taze-
we'll who have recently died, more will
be more missed or lamented than the
subject of this sketch. who was buried
on last Wednesday,. Mrs Nancy Hig-
ginbotham died last Monday at the
home of her daughter, Mrs. A. p. Giles
pie She was born in Giles County
more than 81 years ago, and had lived
in Tazewell more than so years, where
she was widely known and highly es-
teemed for her womanly and christian
virtues.
Her husband, the late Maj. Thos J..
Higgiubotham, who died in 1879, was
for many years one of Tazewell's g
wealthy and most prominent citizens,
to whom she was married in the year
1S45, at her home in Giles County, near
White Gate. There were five children
three daughters and two sons, viz:
Mrs. A. P. and j. S. Gillespie. Mrs. ].

Higginbotham, of Cedar Bluff, and J..
b. Higginbotham, deceased, the father
of A. S. and A. j. Higginbotham,
prominent Young men of our county.
Mrs. Higginbotham was aunt to Mrs.
j. w. Chapman and Mrs. NJ. N. Higgin-
botham, and was directly or indirectly
connected with the most prominent fam
lilies in the county.
Her death will be widely mourued
and lamented. This sketch will be read
by people scattered over many distant
parts Of the country, WHO will feel that
they have been personally bereft in the
death of this good woman.
Since her girlhood Mrs Higginbotham
had been a Jealous member of the Pres
by tsrian church. Her membership was
with the Presby terian church at liLer-
ty at the time of her death, from VIII irh

Not unlikely-although matters
