The geography but few decades
back spoke OF Africa as vast continent
OF negroes, and malaria, impossible
deserts and unexplored jungles, fierce
wild beasts and snakes innumerable, a
good place to avoid. To-day it is about
the most interesting continent on the
face of the globe. From the shores Of
the Mediterranean to the rocks of Good
Hope it is teeming with vast projects
Of improvement. Every government in
Europe is striving to- expand its in
fluence there, and the white man,
though not in the majority by good
deal, is master of all. Cecil Rhodes,
whom history will some day crown with
laurels of glory, set on foot the project
of building railroad of fabulous length
from Egyp. to the Cape, through the
widest and most unknown part of
Africa. While its construction was
going on, one of the most notable of
historic events took place there, when
a whole people were subjugated and
the nation OF the Transvaal ceased to
be. In the desert OF Sahara, least
romantic OF places, one of the most
romantic comedies of the ages is now
being played. A young French million
aire, with money to burn, has gone to
the shores of the ocean and desert and
crowned himself the king Of all he
surveys. Jacques the First he styles
himself, and his daring is drawing many
followers to his semi-barbarous court,
On the other side of this same desert
rules Menelik, he whom the United
States recently made treaty with,
and calls himself literal descendant OF
the biblical Solomon, wisest of men.
What America was to the sixteenth
century, Africa will be to the twentieth.

The farmers of not only Jefferson
county but all counties in the State are
deeply interested in the work oi the
Legislature. Some legislation has
already been done in their interests but
still there is much yet to be done. It's
not always that they have a represen-
tative in the Legislature who can under
stand their needs as we'll as the farmer
himself can. Tho man who has titled
the soil from his youth up, who owns
the land he tills, who knows the hard
ships as well rs the pleasures Of farm
life, who is intelligent, and withal a
successful farmer. can appreciate the
farmers attitude toward legislation that
is detrimental to the farmers interest
and he can then quite intelligently
understand what is good legislation for
the farmer better than man who has
never followed the plow or reaped the
grain. The attention OF the farmers in
jefferson county is called to the fact
that Mr.. S. T. North, cadidate for
Assembly, has been raised on farm
and he knows the ins and outs OF farm
life--its hardships and struggles to
subdue the soil and make it profitable
to the owner. Notwithstanding the
fact that he is "horny handed son OF
toll" he has acquired general public
school education and has spent many
months in the school room as teacher.
He has the qualification and good
common sense so essential in the max
ing OF representative for the people
that none need hesitate about casting
his vote for him on February 16.-Punx-

Valuable Church Property.

Last Sunday Rev. Father McGivney

by the fair. This sum will be devoted

soon as spring opens. When the con-
vent is completed, Father McGivney

When the United States Leather
Company first wrote to Mr.. Mcdonald
about doing some contract numbering

wrote them jokingly that he might go
and "look at 1t II 1t was not brush

they would pay all expenses OF the trip,

that from Mr.. McDonalds way of doing
things, that means no small amount (;
but he says the deep snow is greatly
hampering them in their work, IL being

this immense tract all goes to Laquin,
