On every mouth is the name of Lord Kitchiner, who has succeeded in bringing peace out of the muddled conditions in South Africa. Above all comes the news that the peace, so dearly bought, may mean the downfall of the Chamber lain party and the uprising of the. Liberal star after three years of war started to iail with Constable Bloomer. He had not advanced far before he was halted and relieved of his trouble. The negro was stripped and giv en 99 lasnes and told it seen m Halifax county in twenty-four hcurs he would be strung up by the neck.

Around the pavilion, over the grounds, beneath the spreading oaks everywhere, must have been seen many groups bedecked in holiday costumes. The indiscriminate intermingling or the, innocence of childhood the grace of youth, the strength of manhood,, the sturdiness of age was more sugges tive, perhaps, of the village fair of our English ancestors than of an or dinary picnic. It was at the bidding of one of Person countyjs best known abd best beloved citizens that theywere there. Ever careful of the happiness of those about him, Col 0. S. Winstead had called together a large' number oE his relatives and friends tor a day of pleasure. Nature appeared to be in co-operation with our friend in his generous plans. An ideal day it was.

" - ? ' - i about him, his countenance lighted by a smile, .the picture of content ment, be has a pleasant word for all. Col. Winstead has spent his life among the people of Person5 county in whose every home his name is a familiar word. His life has not been a leisurely walk along the smooth pathway across the meadows and ahmg the banks of the wending stream, but he has trod the rough and stony way that lead3 up the mountain-side to what men call such cess; his days h-ite not been spent among the flowers or beneath the shades of the yalley, but thy have been days of toil spent on the rugged hills of life; the history of his life is not a record of difficulties removed, but of obstacles overcome, Col. Wmstoad is ever charitable, ar- as well as by the British high com missioner of South Africa, Lord Milner, and myself." Soon after Lord Kitchiner's mes sage was posted the war office issu- It seems that people are advertis- ing themselves tor places in our County ofliccs and gome being nam ed by their respective friends.

THE TERMS Otf PEACE. The terms of peace for South Africa were announced in the House of Commons todav bv Balfour as follows: "The Boers surrender their arms Honor Roll. and recognize the King. The Brit ish agree, to bring back the Boer prisoners as , speedily as possible without loss of liberty or property. since their coming to our County will do no further suggesting. Your Demockat.

Military punishment will end as soon as possible and self-government will be substituted There will be no tax on the Trans vaal to pay the cost of the war. Three million pounds will be pro vided for stocking the Boer farms. Cape Colony Rebels -will be subject to trial and may be disfranchised for life, but no death penaity .will be inflicted.", ; - Great Britian practically yields to all the demands of the Boers ei cePt absolute independence.
