KlTCHENER's TASK.
uaable Yet to Drive Bosrs from Cape Col.
ony Disturbed Area GROWING.

-
London, Dec 2S.-The paucity and
obscurity of the dispatches from South
Africa give rise to renewed anxiety.
Apparently the disturbed area of Cape
Colony extends further south than il
did last December. and Lord Kitch-
ener does not appear to have much
success as yet in driving back the in
vaders.
The war Office had received no news
last evening of the reported capture OF
yoemanry near Bristown.
A Burghesdorp dispatch had a mys-
terious reference to an "unfortunate
mistaking of the enemy for Brabant' q
Horse. which resulted in the sounding
of cease firing and enabled the Beers
to occupy the commanding positions,
the British retiring from . Difficult,
predicament."
General Clements success against
the Beers in the Magalies Berg region
is also doubtful, the last dispatch re-
porting that 'sit was considered advis-
able not to force the Beers from their
position.
The British press continues in the
main optimistic, but the condition OF
affairs brings home tho enormous diff
culties that will face Lord Kitchener
in patrolling and policing such i'm.
mense tracts of country. even when
the Beers shall be finally subdued.
The Daily Mail, which makes strong
appeal to the government to ''face the
facts and send Lord Kitchener more
troops" says: stThere is real risk
in being lulled to sleep by carefully
censored messages.
Lord Kitchener, according to dis
patch from johannesburg, has issued a
proclamation. dated Pretoria, Decem-
Der 20, announcing that burghers who
voluntarily surrender will be allowed
to live with their families in the gov
eminent laagers until such time as
guerilla warfare has sufficiently abated
to admit of their returning in safety to
their homes. The proclamation also
promises that all property and stock
brought in at the time of surrender
will he respected and paid for, il requi-
sitioned by the military authoritiee-

county an invitation, or in stronger
language, cha llenge, to meet the
Washington school in a debate, under
parliamentary rules, the subject to be
selected by the contestants, and the
place and time at some future date.
This plan is adopted by the afore-
said school, in order that this par
ticular line of school work will be
more considered by the teachers OF
the county also, for the reason that
the students &f today may become
more familiarized in speaking in pub
lie; and that our young boys and
girls may have the privilege Of rest.

monotony of their every day tasks in

This subject, I hope will be at once
looked into by the teachers of the
county and at the earliest possible
date direct your aoceptation of these

This is a matter of paramount i'm
portance, and the sooner the plan
adopted by our schools, the better
schools will we have o, higher stan d.

OBITUARY.

Departed this life at home in
Greene county, after protraoted ILL
ness, Littleton Eubanks, in the 5Sth
year of his age.
1t is seldom we are called to record
and mourn the demise of so estimable
and excellent a man.
In all the varied relations of life as
husband, father, friend and citizen,
he was a worthy example and de-
serves the emulation of all living
men.
Without the advantages of liberal
education, yet by force of his sterling
integrity Of character his conserva-
tism and his large fund Of natural in
tuitive commonsense, he raised him
self far above the humble and unim-
portant level of his early environ.
ments.
He was genial, humorous and hos
pitable in disposition, and sympa.
thetic and charitable to the needy
and deserving. A large circle of sor-
rowing friends and relatives lament
his death.
He was consigned to his last rest
ing place with Masonic rites, OF
which ancient order he was an hon.
ored member.
He is survived by a widow and
even children, nearly all of adult
age.
