on the point OF riding back to Hoop
stad, l returned to suggest to the COL
onel the hope that he was keeping a
diary of his experiences, and that he
might embody these and his views Of
the military lessons OF the war in a
book when the campaign was over. He
smiled, and, opening his jacket, handed
me goodsizcd note book, closely writ
ten in many pages of jottings. He said
the matter thus written down would be
more or less unintelligible if the book
fell into the enemy's hands, but it would
enable him to memorize all the engage
ments he had witnessed and the opin-
ions which he had formed of the gen.
eralship, tactics, and fighting on both
sides throughout the campaign. His
death has, therefore, deprived the mill
tary world of book which would prob
ably be considered classic work of
this unique war.
"Commandant- General Botha has ex-
pressed to me the high admiration in
which he held Villebois- Mareuil, both
as man and soldier. They were to-
gether during the whole of the Tugela
fighting with Buffers forces, and the
English generals antagonist found in
the brave French officer a warm per-
sonal friend and the support OF an ex-
perienced soldier. :"

With this issue the RECORD enters up
on its twenty second year. While we
do not believe in everlastingly making
promises, we leave it to our readers
whether or no we have fulfilled those
made in the past Our aim is TO make
the RECORD, as a newspaper, second to
none IN this part of the state and we
wish TO thank the citizens of Alma who
are lending Us their aid in our endeavor
TO do so. Ii has always been our uni
form practice to be loyal to our local
merchants and every other interest of
the village. We have never believed in
building up the trade of any other city
or town IN this vicinity, or elsewhere,
at the expense Of our own dealers, who
have invested their capital here in bust
ness, pay taxes and have all their inter
ests identified with local prosperity.
Frequent and hatteriug offers have been
made to us within the past few months
for advertising space in our columns 10y
merchants of outside towns, but each
offer has been invaribly declined. We
do not propose in any way to use our
advertising space to the material injury
of our local trade This has meant con-
siderable loss on our part, ut the course
will be pursued in the future if our
local merchants are as loyal TO the
RECORD as they have been in the past
Oar space is for sale, Is our stock in
trade and but few papers in the state
do what we are constantly doing in this
regard We believe our efforts in this
direction are appreciated by the business
men of Alma, and a glance at our ad-
vertising columns is conclusive evidence.
