mines in Freiburg, Germany. He
came home and became a special
expert of the United States on the
Geological Survey and Mineral
Census, examining the gold fields
of his native state. The appetite
for larger pay and shorter hours
first manifested itself when he took
a job as Superintendent of Silver
Mines in Sonora, Mexico. Back
again in California, he was con-
Sulting engineer for large railroads
and iron works. In 1898 Mr.. Ham
mond went to South Africa as con-
sulting engineer for Barnato Bros.
1t is evident that his wages were
not yet satisfactory, for when he
met Cecil Rhodes at Cape Town
and the gold empire builder said
abruptly, "Mr. Hammond, should
like to have you make me propo-
sition,' the expert said he would
be willing to work for $1,000
month or $4,000 year, and chuck
the other job. Mr. Rhodes told him
to take of his coat and begin right
away. The work was to map out
all the gold in Africa south of the
equator. Rhodes guessed that he
and his fellow-empire builders
would get it if it was only mapped,
regardless of a grouchy individual
named Dom Paul.
Mr.. Hammond slightly over
stepped the bounds of wage earn
ling when he went to johannesburg,
and with four other men signed
letter asking Or. Jameson to in
vade'Boer territory and "come to
our aid should a disturbance arise
here" The Beers were vexed by
the Jameson raid and Mr.. Ham
mond was sentenced to death on
the charge of high treason. His
friends in this country made such a
fuss that the sentence was COM
muted to Is years imprisonment
later Mr.. Hammond was fined
s125, 900 of his wages and released.
He complained that it was a high
price to pay for ga little con-
spiracy."
After representing big syndicates
in this country 1and England Mr..
Hammond at last found a steady
Job with the Guggenheim interests,
It is said that he is employing his
spare time Sundays and half-holi-
days writing a book on the order of

We are not a minister, or even
the son of a minister, so pardon
us if 1--WE make a dismal failure
in our first attempt to preach a
sermon. You will find our text
in the Bible. 1t is not necessary
to give the chapter and verse,
but look for it. In brief it is
this: Spend some Of your even
ings at home with your wife and
children. If you have an ami
able, gentle wife, surely your
home must be a pleasant one, but
it, from increasing carer or other
reasons, she has grown fretful or
sullen, who knows but a little
more attention or kindness on
your part might do a great deal
towards the return of the ami
ability you SO much admired in
her girlhood. If you would stay
at home oftener evenings, treat
ing her with something of the
old tenderness, making her be-
lieve, at least, that you are not
wholly Indifferent to her happi-
ness, you would soon see a
change for the better in your
household.
She has not forgotten the time,
if you have, mot very long ago,
perhaps) when her society was
all you asked for to make the
long evenings pass delightfully."-
away. Loving you as she did,
she would have gone on through
life in the same quiet way, con-
tented and happy. But, alas,
you soon grew tired of the same
room evening after evening, the
same easy chair, and the saddest
of all, weary of tide society of
your wife impatient of the re-
straints of home, longing for a
change. So you spend your
evenings away, meeting many
gay, companionable fellows, who
entertain you with wit, song and
wine, and you fancy yourself de-
lighted and charmed. Perhaps
there are moments of reflection,
when conscience seem whisper
ing to you of the pure. holy in
fuences pf home which you have
SO recklessly and unfeelingly cast
away from you. Your lonely
wife sits by the Preside, watch
ing end waiting for your return
through the hours that drag
slowly along, listening eagerly
to every iootfall, starting at
every sound, fearing, she knows
not what, yet conscious always
of the weary heartache that
seems wearing her life away.
Evening after evening she
watches your preparations for
departure. hoping, meanwhile,
you will relent and stay at home
with her. But you hastily put
on your hat and coat, turning

Health of the community is very
good at present.
The farmers are taking adj
Vantage of the beautiful weather.
| The long melancholy days have
come to our little village at last.
The school has closed; the merry
yells of the school boys and silly
giggles of the school girls are no
longer to be heard. The side long
looks OF our merchants and the
chirps of the birds is all that can be
seen or heard. But as we pass the
school building, our minds are
turned away from the melancholy
surroundings and we can but re-
member with pleasure the COM
mencement exercises on May the
2sth and 29th. In order to let our
friends know about the commence
ment, we will give brief account
below. The contests for gold
medals in defamation and recita-
ton Thursday night were very
successful; three boys and nine
girls contested with all their might,
but only two could be successful.
After much consideration the judges
decided that Ned Donnell and Miss
Augusta Donnell were the most
successful ones.
Friday morning at ii o'clock Rev.
Bryan Simmons, of Brandon,
preached the commencement SER
Emon. The writer feels assured
that everyone enjoyed the sermon
to the very highest extent. At 1880
lip. m. Judge A. @. Norrell delivered
1.-THE medals in very interesting
manner. After which he delivered
the graduating address. The
Judge complimented the graduates
for having attained to a. standard
of distinction in their educational
career. He pictured to them the
| possibilities of the future and urged
them TO make the very best of life
possible. At a.15 p. m, DR.
ISwartz, of Millsaps College de-
|livered the address, of the year.
| The doctor is a very highly polished
gentleman, and his address was ap'
lpropriate and enjoyed by all.
! The concert Friday night was
well attended and everybody
seemed to have enjoyed the ex-
ercises very much. The writer
wishes to call attention to the
pantomime "Nearer Ny God To
| Thee" in the concert, which ap-
| peared to have been a celestial
affair.
i Prof. j. H. Donnell, principal Of
our school for the last three
| sessions, resigns to resume his
| work in college. He will be sue
ceeded by Prof G. R. Cook, who
!; will graduate at Millsaps College
| this session.
I Prof. Donnell is one Of our home
boys and we have ample ground tc
be proud of him. Three years age
he took charge Of this school, which
was in very poor condition ane
from that time on the school ha:
made wonderful progress. W.
give him the honor of building fol
us one of tile best school building:

At the close of one of the
recent Chapman-Alexander re-
vival services in Philadelphia,
the minister of a certain church
went down the aisle, according
to his custom, to greet the
strangers in his congregation.

one as he warmly shook his hand.

your back resolu tely towards her,
fearing to encounter that gaze of
wistful entreaty, for you know
she is watching you, with tears
silently rolling down her pale
cheeks. You know it, still you
do not think best to natice it, for
you dislike scene. Tears annoy
you exceedingly, SO you close the
door. yerhaps with a bang, try
ing hard to feel very indignant
towards her for daring to weep,
even behind your back. So the
lonely wife brushes away the
falling tears, and sits down with
bitterness in her heart, to COM
pare the last years Of her married
life to those first ones, made so
bright and happy by her hus-
bands love and presence. Some
times softer feelings fill her
heart, and she dreams of that
dear old home she left for this
one the home that sheltered her
childhood and youth; and as she
thinks of her beloved parents,
her brothers and sisters, the
light, the warmth and love in the
old homestead, no wonder she
bows her head and weeps by her
lonely freside, like a grieved,
homesick child. Of course no
husbands in this community act
in this manner; if they did we
would suggest that their wives
read to them this sermon.

he paid his college fees and kept him
self fairly respectable. On one occa-
