to see the one abother in their common

Principally at the appointed time the
outraged upper current gathered al the
appointed place TO see the outrageous I'M

president.
BY three o'clock all the INDECENT bat re-

church, mile away, and the superlnten-
dent of its Sunday school, together with
dozen scholars, went by in a double
sleigh. And the ''tirsts" rustled their
silks and smiled in aristocratic contempt.
Before the Goldwaite party broke up,
however, a messenger from the Farms
bowed himself into their midst and out
again, leaving the hostess looking sus-
p.ciously al a message in her hand. with
the army coat b!azed onto the corner,
"a Mrs. Megs would have said she
glanced timidly around the expeciant
circle and finally drew forth a daintily
periumed note and read:

The ''firsts' looked soberly at each
other; the spirit of the note touched the
good in them and the new dinner dresses
were, Tor the time, forgotten.

An unusual effort is being made by the

and made into excellent farms. This
land can be purchased for 81 TO s. per

So prolific are the yields OF potatoes.

peaches and, IN fact, nearly every kind

The Cotton Belt is actively assisting
and otherwise aiding in securing a ready
market for the products. 1t Is a fact of
much Importance that wherever truck
growing has been entered into the prices

SITUATION ON THE ISTHMUS.
Gen. Herrera Has Decided Not to At
tack Panama.

A dispatch from Panama. Colombia. yes
terday says: Acting Superintendent Prescott
of the Panama railroad has obtained per
mission from the government that the en-
pioyes of the railroad who are liberals may
attend to their duties, notwithstanding the
decree issued by Gen. Salazar. governor of
Panama, prohibiting liberals from appear
ing on the streets under pain of imprison-
ment. This courtesy has also been extend
ed to the steamship companies in order to
prevent interruption of traffic.
As a result of international treaties al
most all foreign vessels coming to Colom-
of tonnage duties, which was extended to
ships under Colombian flag.
The decree recently issued revokes this
conce Ssion. and from now on the duties in
question must be paid by al vessels. 1t
is believed that the recent difficulty of the
government with the Pacific Steam Naviga-
ton Company of Liverpool, when the cCm-
pany refused to transport goVernme Mt
troops from Buena Ventura to the isthmus
on board the steamer Ecuador caused this
decree to be issued
Advices received here from Barranquilla
say the government cruiser Cartagena is at
that port awaiting the arrival of troops
down the Ma gdalena river from Honda. The
Cartagena may reach Colon tomorrow. A
dispatch has been received here from the
minister of at Bogota saving that
Gen. Perdomo and his army are coming to
Reinforce the isthmuS quickly as pos
sible; the war minister orders Gen. Salazar
to employ all the means in his power to
resist the insurgents pending the arrival of
Gen. Perdomo. Gen. Perdomo recently paci-
1led the province of Tolima, and the fact of
his now being sent to the isthmus is taken
as proof that the government of Bogota ap-
preciates the perilous situation of its forces
here.
The irsErgent Gen. Herrera is reported to
be strtnthening his positions at Bejuco and
Chame. 1t is believed in certain quarters
that he may have resolved not to attack
Panama or Colon, having heard how well
these ports are defended. Unless Gen Her
rera attacks within the next four days. he
may lose his chances Of capturing either
city, for with the arrival of re-enforcements
it is believed such an enterprise would be
too much for his army
