Will Not Sell Lots.

Inquiries have been made recently
by some of our citizens as to the dis
position of the Mill street lots owned
by the d. l.. & w. Company on either
side of the canal calvert. The lot OF
ground taking up the canal bed from
Mill to Ferry streets is especially
valuable 1t is considered by many,
taking into consideration the very
good location, to be worth at least
s., 600 and in fact such an offer was
made some weeks ago by one of Dan
ville's prominent citizens.
At present the ID. l.. & w. Com
pany will not sell the lots which leads
many to believe that they intend us
ing it at some future time for purposes
of their own In answer to an inquiry
from a prospective purchaser the Com
panv stated "that there had been sev ?
eral offers made for the ground but
that it was not for sale at this time. "

Day.

as cordially received when he first
landed on the shores of America Az
years ago as he was last night by the
Savannah Council knights Of Column
bus, the cordiality and hospitality
would have forever kept the old ex-
plorer here and the pomp of splendor
of the Spanish court would have had
no further attractions for him.
The entertainment given at the
Catholic Library Hall was complete
success in every sense of the word
and the large audience testified to their
appreciation OF the efforts of the per-
formers by vigorous and well-deserved
applause.
The first number on the programme
was a pantomimic representation of
the landing of Columbus. Mr.. A.
Chapman as Columbus, and Messrs.
j. Frank Mccarthy and Walter p.
Powers as guards. approached the
shore In large boat. AS they stepped
upon the land they we're met by the
tribe OF Indians, under the leadership
Of Chief John M. Heagarty, and Of
fered the pipe of peace. This was ac-
cepted and then Columbus. uplifting
his sword. planted the banners OF Fer

new land for the Spanish monarch.

TIBET: A CROSS BETWEEN
SAHARA AND SIBERIA.

w. C. Jameson Reid in the Bookloyers.
Tibet is the least known region on
the habitable globe, though teeming
with features of interest for the scien-
fist, the ethnologist, and the student of
aboriginal mankind in general. For
many years this great CLOSED land"
has possessed extraordinary fascination
for travellers and explorers. but the
well-nigh insurmountable physical bar
riers and the barbarous hostility of
the Tibetans have often frustrated
the most indomitable ana perseverinS
explorers.
Forming a high tableland almost in
the very center of the Asiatic continent
thousands of feet above the sea level,
surrounded on all sides by mountain
ranges among the highest in the world
and covered throughout it's whole eX
tent with appalling deserts, vast salt
swamps, and immense ice-covered
plains, Tibet is not a land which
would attract the traveller in search
of beauties of landscape. When one
has travelled through its arid wilds the
impression left on memory is that of
a combined Saharan desert and An
tarctic ice-plain. Never a tree is seen,
and scarcely a flower, except for a
rev months IN the year. Mountains
covered with soil which by thrift and
industry might be made productive,
are left in their wild state for the
growth of coarse grasses, furnishing
scanty pasturage for the small herds Of
scrawny cattle. More favored regions
are inhabited by small herds of wild
asses, antelopes, and yak, affording
subsistence to a sinister and uncouth
population.
The sterllity of the landscape is
reflected I'm the natives. 1t would be
impossible to imagine a people more
unenlightened and barbarous No
spark Of civilization has yet made it,
