leveled my rifle at the chief who
headed the natives. He opened his
arms, bearing his shield on the left
and lifting his spear at full stretch
in his right hand, SO that his brawny,
glistening body was fully exposed.
His action meant: Il am friend"
I lowered my rifle, and our troop
was soon in friendly touch with the
natives. This chief asked what we
We're seeking in the swamps and we
told him that We were looking for the
missing Boer trekkers. He told me
that he had heard of their settlement
in the country to the northwest be-
yond the swamps and would put us OH
the way to them. After resting for a
few hours, the chief and his follow
| ers led us across the marshes by
paths which we travelled for little
more than a week until we came out
into an open country where the
kopjes were sticking up stifly like the
horns of young koodoo.
We had hardly reached firm land
when our soldiers fell sick. The only
one of the company of mistaken spirit
was the priest of the troop, a little
gray-headed man who was constantly
praying, with undimmed faith in Gods
, help, while the men groaned and raved
| in the delirium of fever. We made
| hammocks of grass and bamboo poles
and natives of the country agreed to
carry our sick men for few of our
cartridges.
From the day that we left the
swamps a string of graves stretched
behind us. One after another of the
little troopers fell out of the ranks.
At length We passed the ridge
which was pointed out to us as the
last to be crossed before reaching the
well-watered country called M'Wembi.
where the missing party was most
likely to be found.
With every passing day our troop
dwindled away. Colonel Andreas had
been Frustrated by fever in the course
of our march and was carried in a
hammock to our hating place, where
he lay for days too sick to take any
charge of the camp.
AS usual I left my tent about mid
night to relieve the watch which the
priest was keeping. He was praying
before the Pickering campfire and l
stood beside him for moment silent
ly. Suddenly a Notwithstanding sound
like the roar Of lions, but with strange
muffled tones, seemed to spring out
Of the earth beneath us. It rose and
fell in swells, now loud and hoarse,

Dam Being Reconstructed.

The wooden dam at the Cuulthard &
Honev mill, located about two miles
from Paris. will be torn away and re-
placed with modern concrete struc-
ture and the removal of the structure
marks the passing away of one of the
landmarks of Bourbon county.
The dam was built in IT'S, or 1877
years ago by Abraham McJoy, who
owned the mill. Since 1879 the mill
has been operated by CouIthard &

The Road Work.

Engineer Wheelock with some fifteen
assistants has been busy this week sur
surveying the roads in the Macon Dig
trict. So far the Columbus and the
Louisville roads from Macon to the
district lines have been surveyed. The
survey will determine the lines OF the
roads, the amount of excavation and
embankment, an estimate of the
amount Of dirt to be moved and cost
of material to be used. The estimates
are to be per mile. so that the approx
innate cost Of each mile of road will be
known. The surveyors are now on the
Fairfield road,
The Highway Commissioners will be
unable to decide what roads and how
much Of them will be built until the es-
Inmates are complete. If possible and
practical every main road in the dis.
trict will be reconstructed, with some
work Of the cross roads. The lines Of
some of the roads will be changed and
in this connection It is hoped that oil
landowners will be generous and giv<
rights of way and allow use Of al
earth needed.
This road work is a most hopeful
sign Of future growth to Macon and thu
district. It will be of essential prof
to the community and to each individ
ual in It. It puts Noxubee in a promi
mems and highly commended light be-
fore the world. We have the bes'
county in the state and we ought /,
have running through it the best road
