END OF THE BOER VAR

All Christendom will rejoice to hear
that the war in South Africa is at an
end. Last Saturday the terms of
peace were agreed upon between Gen.
Kitchner and the Boer generals and
representatives. Very liberal terms
have been granted the Beers and the
peaceful settlement Of the devastated
country will speedily follow.
In England the news of the cessa-
ton of hosclities was received with
riotous applause and the streets were
crowded with all classes who quit
their homes to join in the general
rejoicing.
King Edward no doubt feels highly
gratified as it is stated hat he dicta-
ted the terms offered the Beers.

ENFORCEMENT OF Id " AND
ORDER.

Elsewhere in this paper will be
found a communication whichdeserV-
es the careful consideration OF every
good citizen of the community as
well as that of our jealous officials.
The evils complained Of are by no
means limited to the locality of
Perry's Bridge. "Tbere are Others"
Unfortunately there are several.
From all we a gather these out
breaks are due to the wanton spirit of
uncurbed youth. 1t arises from a
morbid and mistaken idea of what
constitutes "fun." We fully appre-
ciate the eager and natural desire of
the young for amusement. 1t is as
natural as the gambols Of the lamb in
the springtime or the padding of
ducklings in a pond. Young people
should have some form of amuse-
ment provided them and it is the
duty of the fathers of these hayward
young men to control them and see
to it that they act in a gentlemanly
manner. They should be taught that
drinking whisky, carrying concealed
weapons and disturbing the peace
and tranquility of orderly assemblies
and private households is not fun
that it is a crime punished by the
law. 1t is but proper that a young
man should look to his own family
for the approval or condemnation of
his conduct. Ii what he does is
upheld by his parents, out of any
false or mistaken idea, then that
young man is in the way that leads
to trouble. Excused or commended
for the first offense he soon seeks to
rival his associates in deeds of daring
deyiltry and when The law takes him
in hand as it does sooner or later he
feels that he is a very badly treated
individual. It is these petty offenses
against society which lead SO easily
to grayer ones.
