LONDON. May 4--There is an un-
happy story connected with one of the
canvases hanging on the line in the
Royal Academy which will probably
within a few days, make it the most
talked about in the exhibition. 1t is
from the brush of one of the most IA
NOUS members of the Academy and
represents the face and figure of an ex-
ceedingly beautiful young woman.
There is a certain ambiguity about
it. even TO the casual observer, but
there is evidence of the artists devo-
ton to accuracy in the features and
pose and every outline and of the lack
of the symbolic usually seen in sub
iect of this kind in paintings. Who is
she? comes as a natural question and
one expects that 1t is the likeness of
lady of rank, perhaps. NO" is the an
swer Of the catalogue: it is nothing
more than the artists impressions OF a
beautiful woman-figure with a sym
bolic title.
1t is a likeness after all, however. and

features but are not acquainted with

the name of the young woman it rep
resents. It must suffice at the present
moment to say that the painter has
been entrusted with not few royal
and imperial commissions, and the sub
ject of the painting is an American
lady whose beauty has won the admi-

in a tissure in the ice, descending a dis
tance of IS feet, where he became w~lged
between walls of ice. He remained con-
scious, and gave final instructions to his
companions, who were pnwerless to assist
him. The next misadventurc was Oh 4
raft, which tossed over laundering rapids
and was broken to pieces against the
Jagged rocks. The five men made des-
perate fight for life, but three of them
were never again seen. Two reached
shore, one of whom was severely injured
internally, and the other with 4 fractured
arm. They were hireft ni all provisions
and hundreds 0f miles from civilization.
A. ter days of untold suffering, the spark
ui life in the man injured internally was
mercifully extinguished, His lone part
ner for IS days wandered without food
After that his life became blank for q
period of twelve months, and when his
senses returned he found himself among

GOvan News.

GovAN, April 90, 19O1.-At special
called meeting of the patrons Of the
Govan graded school last Monday after
noon at 3 o'clock, for the purpose Of call
ing teacher for another year, Prof. j
F. Carter unanimously received the call
at fifty dollars per month, school to open
the first Monday in October next. A
committee was appointed to notify him
of his election and what had been done,
and while he appreciated the action of the
meeting said that he could not give them
definite answer before five or six weeks
and should he not take the school he
would let US know in ample time to get
another teacher. An election was then
held for trustees, which resulted in the
nomination of the following gentlemen
to serve the next two years: Messrs. j.
A. Kennedy, W. L. Kennedy, and DR.. j.
r. Mccormack. These gentlemen are
not appointed or commissioned until 1st
July. Of course the old board will hold
over until the expiration of their term,
except Mr. H. NJ. Kennedy one of the
board who resigned at once or as soon as
the new board was declared. We have
purchased the present school building
from Mr.. H. NJ Kennedy at one hundred
and thirty dollars with the privilege of
buying the old building at twenty-five
dollars, which if annexed we can have a
house 24x4S feet, twice the size of the
present one.
Our teacher, Mr.. j. F. Carter, left US
last Wednesday for Varnville, where he
goes on a visit to relatives and friends.
All regret to have him leave, but hope he
will return in the near future.

The recent cold snap has done up cot
ton and melons in this section. Our
farmers are having some trouble in
getting the seed to plant these two crops,
many of them paying from one to two
dollars bushel for cotton seed and a
dollar per pound for melon seed, and glad
to get 'em at that. Still Wall street has
sent cotton down an eighth OF cent on
account of few sunshiny days. The
forecast looks very gloomy for the farmer
at this time with provisions so high.

81 90 per bushel, hay 1925 to $1.50 per

in state of bankruptcy next fall. This
is the state of affairs as they now exist.
