Marriage Coming, Personals. Ho
Shad Yet
March 11 Goad weather and the peo
pie all busy, nothing happening,
This, 10 far, hae been a very calm
month and fairly good weather, only
very cool.
But for the constant whhtlng of the
steamer we would have the bines bat
they keep us alive, day and night. The
timber business is a big thing on this
river just now.
There seems to be some badly handled
togs that pass through the bridge draw
at thU place. Only last week the county
bridge was badly damaged by a barge
in -tow of a tug bot, and very olten the
logs or rafts are very badly piled np
around the bridge here. It does seem
that a more skillful management might
avoid lots of this trouble and confusion
at the draw and bridge.
The following young folk were .vlnlt
ors In this place last week. Hisses Izora
Jones, Emma Weeks, Ada Barry, Julia
Sanderson, Bessie Holland, Mary
Koonco and Carrie Simmons, Messrs. J.
T. Mood, E. I. Haughton, Orayham
Eoonce, Clyde Sanderson, Sheriff Matt
Harriett and Silas Beaman.

This Is time for the shad to ran, but I
have not heard of a single one being

seems to be a small run so far as heard

Methnen.Wounded and a Prisoner.
Officers and 38 Men Killed.
Lohdox, March 10 It was announced
today that General Lord Methaen and
four gnna had been captured by the
Boers commanded by General Delarey.
The news came like a thunderbolt to
London. The extra editions of the even
ing papers, giving an account of the
disaster, were eagerly bought np and
their readers hurried through the streets
with anxious faces, and bitter remarks
were passed on the subject of the govern
meat's declaration that the war in South
Afrloa was over.
The news came too late to affect busi
ness on the stock exchange, but excited
curb dealings quickly followed the clos
ing, In which South Africans slumped
heavily. The news caused much excite
ment in the mine market. Throckmor
ton street was thronged with Souih Af
rican operators anxiously looking for
details and watching the effect of the
announcement. Shares were offered
freely at first; by 6 o'clock the excite
ment had abated and the curb tone hard
ened.
The news was received in the House
of Commons amid groat excitement.
The reading of Lord Kitchener's tele
gram by the War Secretary, Mr. Brod
rlck, was listened to In deep silence,
which was broken by loud Irish cheers.
Instantly there were cries of "Shame t"
'Shame I" from the government benches.
Then the Irish members seemed to think
better of their outbreak and suddenly
subsided. The subsequent eulogistic
references to General Methuen were re
ceived with cheers. In brief, Lord
Kitchener announced that when Gen
eral Methuen was captured, three Brit
ish officers and 88 men were killed and
five officers and 78 men wounded. In
addition one officer and 800 men were
reported missing.

Ing four or five times a week and slips

were around his board.
