Correspondence OF the Argus.
Mr.. Editor, we scat ourselves again in our
humble mood to give you some Of our hur.
ried tidings.
Miss Hannah Graham Is staying with her
sister, Mrs. Jessie Englehari, at Guseman.
We learn that the Rev. T.. r. Idleman is
going to commence n series of meetings at
the NJ. f. church at Harmony Grove.
Chas. II. Miehael's has five weeks more of
school. lie has so far taught successful
term as has ever been taught at Mt. Zion,
not saying anything against any of the other
teachers. lie is much liked by all except
one family.
We notice in THE ARGUS where the
editor was opposed to so much fooishness
about the boys and girls We are extremely
glad of your remarks and we will agree with
the editor on any case of that kind, and IL
we have wrote anything of the kind pardon
us, and hereafter we will suppress such
things.
Prolraeted meeting seems to be in good
progress at Beech Ill., and has the appear.
ance of a boun,iful success at their good
work, but We are very much afraid. some of
them amt doing much good for themselves,
and doing harm 10 Others horses, saddles,
etc, and If they call that good will give
them a share of my applause.
We have been having some final ex.
changes of late between Eb and Frank Lis
ton. Frank, who has been living with his
father, Abner Lis,on, got dissatisfied and
was going to leave his father, so Frank re-
moved on the farm on which his brother
Ebb was on, and Ebb he moved in with his
father that makes Frank some three or four
m wings in years time. lie will surely
get moving down fine after while.
Feed seems 10 be getting pretty well run
down in this vicinity. Suppose President
Mckinley would Of had some old buck.
wheat OF rye straw to set down to the 4lh of
March. Bill J. GRAY.

How London Could Be Defended.

If the Dutch ever sail up the Thames
again, or Norman force land, London
will not be unprepared. In the archives
of Pail Mall repose nlusty schemes for
the defense of the metropolis which it
was thought would be undisturbed I'M
til the war department commenced to
move into its new palace. But there
are busy men about and as result new
schemes will be forthcoming for the
defense of London. Something like 80
batteries of artillery will be allotted to
the defense, including guns of heavy
caliber, A. and 6 inches, which will be
mounted in commanding positions,
covering a wide, sweeping arc. The
mobile force for defense will include
nearly 100 15-pounder field guns, and
an army corps of three divisions Of
regular infantry and 100 Volunteers
London Express.

early on account of the distance we
have to co.
81 shall be ready" answered Mildred.
Accordingly, the next morning, true
to her word, she was down stairs
equipped, even to the dainty little whip
she carried in her hand, before any one
but Denzil had put in an appearance.
Lydon arriving shortly afterward in
time for breakfast, they hastily dis
patched that meal, and started direct
ly after for the meet, which was at
some considerable distance-Miss Ire
vanion and the acknowledged lover in
front, Sir George with the discarded
in the background.
On their way they fell in with
Frances Sylverton, attended only by a
groom-Charlie having gone to rejoin
his regiment some days before-who
called out gayly that she had come
ing them, and was therefore, for once
in her life, unfeignedly glad to see
them. -..
'And what has happened to you, 0
knight Of the rueful countenance?"
she asked, merrily, of Denzil, refining
in her horse beside his.
II had no idea I was looking so lu-
gubrious,' he said laughing, "and I
don't believe I am either. It is the

vice-president of the Egypt exploration
fund, says that in addition to the
papyri recently presented by the So
ciety to several universities there is
a valuable lot of forty-three papyri

Her plea, in word, is: "No crops,
no taxes"
