with strength to act out the wretched one sided comedy-he too gaining his equilibrium laughed at the idea of their marrying.
 Katherine, Nan, Rebecca. Marie and yes there was another who came before them all and whose memory he cherish ed as sacred heritage. It was long ago, yet he could see her now, with that calm smile on her child like face, with the soft light in her clear gray eyes and the halo of daffodil hair. Elizabeth! How he had loved her, his first love, This divine love-. He felt sure that she had loved him too. Her face would light up at his coming and her voice take to it's self a melody the like of which he had not heard since, nor hoped to near In this world. What a struggle 1t was to part with her without telling her of his love. But then he felt that he must achieve something, before he asked her to be his wife, and he sealed his lips and went to New York with thous- and new ambitions in his heart. His love was too strong to break so many years of uncertainty. He had never heard one word from her or about her since he had come away, He wildly realized the night he wrote that letter telling her all and begging that he might come and hear the glad answer from her own lips. Accompanying the letter he sent her a box of La France roses.
 Then had followed a feverish state of excitement, while he waited her answer. Three days each of which seemed year, and then came a letter-what could it mean? Tearing the seal he read: My Dear MT. Devon:-
 The roses came New Years night. Elizabeth, my wife. died just as the old year was dying. When I read your letter, I laid the roses in her hands. With best wishes.

A New lows Being QulETLY BuILr.

Messrs. Guy Burkett and Sam
Harper of Covington county, came
in yesterday to bny lot of horses
and vehicles.
A Progress reporter learning of
their extensive purchase, was curious
to know what was up, SO upon IN
quiry, was informed that they We're
going to put up livery, sale and
feed stable at the new town of Bass
field, on the Pearl & Leaf Rivers
railroad. Our informant seems coli
fdent Bassfietd will soon be one of tile
best towns in Covlngton county.
When asked why the matter had
been kept so quiet, was referred to
Thos. NJ. Ferguson, the representa-
tive of the land owners, some OF
whom are very wealthy, they select
ed this location on account of its
many natural advantages, it being
especially noted for its healthful-
ness, and his instructions have beer
to handle the matter quietly so as tC
sell mostly to those who expect to 60
there for a home or business, and by
keeping the matter quiet, he hopeC
to keep it out of the hands of specu
| IatOrs, as the owners had nO desire
to get up IA boom for they had plenty
of money to build a town without
| any boomish movements.
When asked about the report o
Hawkins & Co. going out there mex
Tuesday to locate large store, Mr.
Ferguson admitted that that wa
true and said he had promised t
meet few other gentlemen tina
day for the same purpose. We mere
~ mention this fact as We do no
want Mr.. Ferguson to keep our Iegu
lar subscribers in the dark, and whel
there is a good thing to be had, WI
are willing for our patrons as we'll a

ADVERSE RULING
IS EXPLAINED
King Oscar influenced in De.
cision by Former Samoan
Chief Justice.

WASHINGTON, October 29.-The
officials here find an ample explanation
of the adverse decision of King Oscar
in the matter of the Samoan claims in
the statement that comes from Stock
holm to the effect that the Kings de-
cision was influenced by three jurists.
one of whom was M. Cederkranz, one
time chief justice of Samoa. 1t is
stated that while filling that important
post Cederkranz came into frequent
collisions with Judge Chambers, the
American land commissioner, who af-
forwards succeeded Cederkranz as chief
Justice, and it is believed that the per-
sonal ill feeling that followed undoubt-
edIy influenced the character of the
advice given to King Oscar.
TUTUILA (Samoa), October 81

complaint thereat. Several Of the ben
e~iciaries from this fund being in strait
ened circumstances through the unex-
plainable delays in the payment of this
money.
A great deal of government money
is being spent for government lands
and in the establishing of a govern
ment telephone system, but there is
not a cent available for the improve
ment of public reads.

Kings VIII Discuss Afr,ca.'s Affairs

LONDON, Oct. 25.-Emperor William
will arrive in England November s, and
by that time it is expected that King
Carlos of Portugal also will be a guest
of King Edward.
There is every reason to believe that
the meetings of the three monarchs will
result in important international under
standings, especially as regards South
Africa, and more particularly Delagoa
Bay, which is SO vitality important to
Great Britain as an outlet for her new
ly acquired colonies.
The Portuguese Government appears
willing to transfer some portions of its
South African territory to British rule.
Germany, however, is understood to be
strenuously opposed to British trade Sc
curing such an advantage, at any rate.
