The programme was Splendldly
rendered and while We wish to make
no invidious distinctions we cannot
refrain from mentioning the splendid
paper of Mrs. Sistrunk and the ele-
giant manner in which it was read and
the magnificent Grafton OF Mr..
Weathers. He has asplendid voice, he
was completely at himself, and from
start to finish his delivery was as i'm
pressive as his line of reasoning was
in keeping with the lofty character
of the subject of his eulogy. He
quoted from Waterson and Grady and
his Grafton is worthy to take its place
alongside of the best efforts of those
famous men.
The music, vocal and instrumental,
was much appreciated and applauded.

RESCUE SHIP DOCKS
SILENT CROWDS SEE SURVIVORS
LAND IN NEW YORK.
Tens of Thousands Gather TO Witness
Arrival of Funeral Vessel With It's
Grief-Stricken Passengers.

New York, April 1S.-The Cunard
liner Carpathia, ship of gloom and
succor, came into New York last night
with the first news direct from the
great White Star liner Titanic, which
sank off the Grand banks of New
foundland early Monday morning last.
The scene at the pier as the Car
pathia came up the harbor and warped
into its dock was one of perfect order
and an awe-like air of wailing. The
crowds had steadily augmented and
along the shores of the bay from the
battery on, where tens of thousands
were gathered to witness the passing
of the funeral ship, all conversation
was conducted in whisper.
AS the Carpathia was passing into
its slip 1t was surrounded by newspa-
per boats and frequent flashes from
cameras taking pictures of the rescue
ship punctuated the silence like a
series of bombs.
An air of solemnity was added to
the scene by the presence of scores
of white-clad hospital attendants, with
stretchers, while. prepared for the
worst, there mingled in the throng
attaches from the coroner's staff
Many invalid chairs also were rolled
up to the pier entrance and placed
in waiting for those unable to walk
For twenty minutes there was an
agonized wait while the boat was be-
ing slowly warped into its berth.
When the ship locked the gang plank
was quietly lowered and the doctors
and nurses went aboard AS the first
survivors began to leave the ship
dead silence fell over the crowd and
even the fashlight battery for mo-
ment ceased it's commandment

125, 900 AMERICANS GO
TO CANADA IN 1911.
THE YEAR 1912 WILL SHOW A
GREAT INCREASE.

In report of the House Committee
Washington appears the following:
Canada offers three-year home
stead upon good land, easily reclaimed
and cultivated, with six months leave
OF absence each year and most Ienient
regulations"
All of which is true and it is now
the part of the careful reader to con-
slider the opportunities that exist in
Western Canada which, in addition to
the above, are attractive features.
The evidence of these is found in the
letters contributed by some of the
settlers. For instance: A former Min
nesotan, writing from Warner, South
ern Alberta, speaks of that district,
but what he says, applies generally to
all OF Southern Alberta. He says:
i have seen six crops, four of them
were first class, one of them a very
good crop, and the other a poor crop.
Government statistics for the last fif-
teen years show that this country has
averaged about fifteen or sixteen
inches of moisture. In 1910 there was
only seven inches, and in 1911 twenty
two inches. The 1909 crop was about
as good as have seen in this coun-
try and we had about twelve inches of
moisture, SO that am thoroughly con-
WINGED that with normal conditions,
that is, from twelve to fifteen inches
of moisture, and with the natural in
crease of population and immigration,
that Southern Alberta will be one of
the very best mixed farming districts
in the world. We have good soil, good
water, and a good climate, and alto
gether just as desirable a country to
live in as Dakota, Minnesota, Iowa, or
Wisconsin,
Hundreds of letters are on file from
former American settlers, which give
good reasons why the Western Can
ada lands are being settled so rapidly
Full particulars can be had of any Ca
madam Government Agent, who will
furnish literature and give low rate
certificates. Excursions are being run
daily.
