Annistonian on Chinese Riots

Tho news of the destruction of the prop erty of a British mission station in Honan province, China, was received in this city with considerable interest by friends or Dr. T. w. Ayers, a medical missionary at Hwang- -hein, near that city, as rela- tives of pr. Ayers had just receive da letter Iii which he says that there IS a spirit of unrest in the country at present somewhat similar to that which ante dated the Boxer uprising.
 Dr. Ayers says that recently one of his patients who had become interested in Christianity was subjected to great perse- cution. All of his wheat was pulled up by the roots, his house was sacked during his absence and when he returned he and his wife were locked up in the house for several days without food. They came near starving and when their son went to their assistance he was driven out of the village. The old couple were finally rescued by the authorities.
 Dr. Ayers says that prices on almost every commodity are increasing in China, and the ignorant natives lay all the blame on the foreigners. pr. Ayers does not believe, however that the present unrest will develop into repetition of the Boxer outrages.

Two ''bachelor girls of my acquaintance who for years past have been collecting furniture preparatory to having an apart ment of their own, suddenly decided at the spring renting season, after burrow- Ing about in apartment houses here and there. that they had found just what they wanted and would install themselves forthwith.
 Accordingly, making arrangements with the landlord the little gem" which they l,seiected was put into the hands of scrub women, and paperers, and decorators, the while the storage warehouses which held their belongings were ransacked for the wonderful bits of mahogany which had duly impoverished them in days gone by.
