Dispatches from the English CORE
spondents at Warrenton represent the
Beers as again sacrificing their strong
and most skilfully prepared positions
to their dread of being surrounded.Gen.
Hunters rapid march after his success
at ROOF Dam seems to have surprised
them. Gen. Hunters force is stronger
than was estimated. He has, in addi-
ton to the troops already known to be
with him. half OF Gen. Hart's brigade
from Natal. these troops having pre-
sumably Joined him by way of Bethu-
lie. The future movements OF this large
body cannot be guessed at, but IL istn
no wise certain that M Is destined for
the relief of Mafekng. A report from
Pretoria states that It Is proceeding to
Nryburg. ff
The report recurs that British coli
umn has reached Taungs, thirty-six
miles north OF the Vaal river. IL this
report is true, the column cam
not be any part OF Gen. Hunters com-
mand. but is presumably the much -,
mored column from Kimberley.

The state board Of health has been
again overruled in the appellate court.
Today the court handed down a re-
script In the case OF DR.. Arthur w.
Stevenson, deciding that the board must
recognize the medical school of Bos-

The rescript handed down in this case
is as follows: THE respondent at
tempts to justify it's refusal to issue
a license TO the appellant to practice
medicine because 1t does not recognize
the medical school OF Boston Universl-
ty as a school requiring the four
years course OF study for graduation.
1t appears from the evidence that the
course of study in this school is four
years, and that the appellant has
taken the full four years course. 1t

of our trip.
First visited Sand Hill, and en-
joyed the lively jokes of George
Bell and Bile Dayis-latter was
just getting up from severe spell of
measles. Farmers around Sand
Hill are among the best in Miller
county-aIways prosperous.
Spent two days and three nights
at Bright star, and met large
number of old friends and patrons,
and made new ones. Judge Reeves
we found busy in his,shop; he has
long administered Justice between
litigants, and been a terror to evil
doers. Mr., Rolin Smith runs the
main store, and keeps the postofice
MIR. Tobe Eubanks is getting ready
to move to Texarkana within
the next few months. To him
and his good wife, we return
our best thanks, for kiudness-en-
tertained us handsomely. Sorry
that three of his six boys are quite
sick with measles, but glad to know
all as deing nicely, Prof G. L.
Perry was on hand from Kiblah,
getting up a good school-will
open at once, we learned. He
seems to be quite enterprising.
DR.. ]. N. McCasland has secured a
lucrative mill practice at Mira, La,
but his family will remain at Bright
Star for some time.
Friday we spent a few hours very
pleasantly among old friends at Era.
Yates Bros. now have the only
store here. Quite a caowd out to
meet the Collector. A fsticuff dur
ing the day caused some little ex-
citement for few moments. The
Messrs. Davis, R, H, Terry A. H.
McKeller and and H. M. Barnett all
good solid citizens treated us kindly
and for same we return thanks.
Yesterday we visited Ravana,
Some five or six stores here, and
town enjoys good trade. The
saw and grist mill of Hughes & Son
do big business.
