 ing sessiPn.

A pro-Boer mass meeting was c,nducted in Little Rock last night, about the first that has been held in the south, the initial step having been taken by Chicago several weeks 300 when thousands upon thousands assembled in an enthusiastic session to exhibit sympathy and friendlness for the South African warriors in their terrible struggle to release themselves frem the yoke of old England.
 The meeting was an interesting one and it was decided to raise funds for the relief Of the needy burobers. Another meeting has been called for April 20th and it is expected to be an exceptionally interesting affair, for in the south there is much sympathy for the Boers. A regular organization was perfected at the meeting and active work will begin at once to render whatever assistance they can. Every town in Arkansas should follow this step.
