In Southern RhOdesia

According to DR.. Peters, Solomon's
Ophir and the Havilah of Genesis
were located where there are now
magnificent and enthralling old ruins
at Zimbabwe, Mashonaland, Southern
Rhodesia, Africa. If you will take a
map you will find that this lies in
the eastern part of upper South At
RIGA, about $50 miles due west of the
port of Sofala, on the Indian Ocean.
Ever since Africa was penetrated
by Europeans, according to Dr. Pet
ers, there have been strange tales
told by the natives of a marvellous
country between the Zambesi and the
LimpOpo rivers, filled with extra
ordinary old monuments and ruins of
great cities, and peopled by race
that was lighter in color and more
delicate in structure than the pure
blood Africans, and one that was to
be found nowhere else on the whole
continent Strange legends have
been heard every now and then about
a marvellous old people who toiled in
this enchanted region centuries ago
for gold.

Another Fish Story.
Frank Schieszer nj ST.

Frank Schieszer of st. Louis
Monday wrote US: ~ saw a
fish story in the Republican.
Well that is sol have seen
that before and know IL u be
the truth. We had a big rain
here not long ago and there
were frogs and w'ggle.tails in
the water-they we're no beer
wigglers ether for J saw
them"
This il the richest joke Of
the season. Mr.. Schieszer
vouclies for q fish story that
has turned out a fake. The
story that Mr.. Schieszer re
ferred to was that published
about Robert Aulgur finding
more than 100 ash in his yard
after the heavy rain Sunday,
week. 1t has turned out that
the big rain flooded u pond
some distance above the
, house, caused the dam to
break and the fish were scat
tered along the route of the
water, many Of them remain
ing in Mr.. Au'gur's yard TO
|, be picked up In the morning.
Now since we have Mr..
Schieszer's false statement In
writing I'VE think he ought to
"go up the road" a few years
for perjury, forgery or some
thing OF the kind, but since he
has told a bigger one we will
let him off IL he finds some.
one to vOuch for his story,
which we will also accept at
| the usual rates on fish stories.
We hope our fish story editors
will See that the cutters and
spouts on their houses are
cleaned before the rain so
that the frogs that come down
are not off the roof but nc.
tual'y out of the clouds, which
is a poss, bility, but something
that happens only once in u
life time.

of Jefferson City presented
the diplomas TO the two grad

which has been we'll repre-
scented in the state college for
tho colOred people. He said
that a Henderson had twice
carried of the highest honors
of Lincoln Institute, one Of
the boys being a graduate
this year. He also compli.
mented Miss Drake, of this
city,in being at the very front
in her classes. The Hender.
son family has made a like re.
cord in Marshall and it would
be hard TO find u finer lot OF
boys anywhere than those OF
Mr.. and Mrs. Henderson.
Pro-. Allen presents q fine APP.
~pearance and is the right man
we judge for the high posi-
ton he holds. Prof. Kenner
deserves great credit for hav'
ing secured so good "a speaker
for the occasion.

resolution in 1905 expressing
the belief that the time had
come when the Reformed
church and the Presbyterian
church in the United States.
which was In session In
Kansas City the past week
should come into closer rela.
tions. A similar resolution
was adopted in 1906 by the
Presbyterian church In the

lea The churches mentioned
adopted a resolution in 1907
that the principle OF co-opera.
ton as suggested should ap
ply with particular reference
to work among negroes, in
foreign missions, in the pub
fishing Of books, to reduce
cost of publication and that in
the future there should be no
unnecessary expenditure In

sections which would amount
only to useless duplication Of
