Several Taibanites appeared before
the County Commissioners last Mon
day to protest against the Fort Sum-
ner-Yeso Highway. Strange to say,
w. R. McGill, the former arch-enemy
of Taiban, ESQ it is reported) took
his stand with "Mack" Wilson, the
Boss of Taiban, and threw his sym
pathies and talents with that delega-
ton. They say the Judge was at his
best with wonderful command of con-
vincing oratory; he even referred to
the Taibanites as "hyenas," which on
ly brought smiles form this delegation
Had this occurred several years ago
General "Mack" Wilson would never
have consented to an armistice.

AN INTERESTING LECTURE.

The lecture on Work in the Mis-
sionary Field in South Africa, by the
Rev. r. II. Evans, given last week,
was entertaining and instructive; no
one who had not actually passed thru
the many experiences related, could
so graphically depict life among this
remote, savage people. The lecturer
related many phases Of the life of a
white man among these pitifulIy igno-
rant and superstitious natives of the
Ozark Continent" also the hazard
GUS task of mingling with them in or
der to win their confidence and then
preparing their primitive minds to
receive the Gospel message. There
were stories of the customs, mode of
living and ceremonial rites, from the
manner of courtship of the young
"braves," to the heartless manner of
disposing of the sick and aged who
were abandoned to the hyenas and
other beasts of prey.
The speaker showed many trophies
of his sojourn, implements of warfare,
of the chase, domestic utensils and
ornaments, not the least interesting
of which was wedding "ring" weigh
ing three pounds, and to be worn in
the ear of the happy bride for life.
Also the poisoned arrows and huge
spear and war club of the ferocious
and blood-thirsry Nasal, a tribe living
only for plumber and massacre of their
weaker brothers.
In place of the modern idea in
lingerie" the African belle adorns
herself with iron wire, winding it
around her arms and neck ntil she
is ornamented CD with sometimes as
much as forty pounds of exthra
weight in her desire to be attractive
she then proceeds to perform all the
hard work of the family, it being be-
meath the dignity of the males to do
labor of any sort. Their life is spent
in eating, sleeping and preparation
for battling with their enemies, by
fashioning the implements of warfare
and as messengers to other distant
tribes.
Brother Evans has these interest
ing relics on view at the Parsonage,
ot we hope in the future to arrange
mother evening for this interesting
ecture, so that all may participate in
he unusual trat of last Wednesday

Everything was orderly, apparently
there was no drinking, or carousing in

cast their ballots for their fayorite

To the casual observer it appeared
that the Latta ticket had slight ad-
