Then let us have that bridge across Catawba river as soon as possible; let us no longer be strangers in one house, and let us be united by common ties, social and political. If the bridge is built we will have free * and agreeable intercourse among ourselves, besides all that desirable, transient trade now going down the east side of the river will at least be divided if not diverted. Give us the bridge immediately. GENERAL JOCBERT DEAD. Boer Commander-in-Chief Expired Last Wednesday. I General Piet Joubert, commanderin-chief of the armies of the South African Republics, died at Pretoria last Wednesday. Next to President < Kruger he was the most influential of ** the Boer leaders. Had it Dot been for , the capture of General Cronje, that i general would have been his successor 1 as commander-in-chief of the Boer ' armies ; but as matters stand it is likely that this responsibility will now fall upon General Lewiz Batba, at present commanding in Natal. It is possible, however, that President Kruger may j take command in person. General Pietruskobius Joubert, commandant general of the Transvaal forces, better known as Piet Joubert, ' or "'Slim Piet," (Slim Peter) was born I about 69 years ago. He was descended from an old French Huguenot family which settled in South Africa many years ago. He was born in Cape Col- ] ony; but was taken by bis parents, . when several years old, to the Orange i Free State, where he was taught from i early childhood to shoot straight and hate the British. He is described as having been ut- , terly fearless. Of schooling be had but little and he never saw a newspaper UDtil be was 19 years old. In spite of this, his ambition prompted him to read the few books he could ^ obtain and he succeeded in obtaining a fair knowledge of history and language. In consequence of the acquisition of Natal by the British his family moved iron) i>aiai aou beuieu 1U buc xiauaraai. Soon afterward he became a burgher of the South African Republic and a daring fighter. It was claimed in his be- ( half that he could lead a body of men more successfully against hostile na- 1 tives than any other man in the Trans" vaal. He came to be so feared by the Datives that the knowledge that he . was at the head of a punitive expedition usually resulted in their surren- i der. , It was during these wars with the natives that Joubert became acquain- ! ted with Paul Kruger and the two men became bosom friends. He was elec- . ted vice president of the Transvaal in 1 1896, defeated Sir George Colley at ( Majuba Hill in 1881, and acted as pres- i ideut of the republic in 1884 during President Kruger's absence in Europe. General Joubert was always in favor ; of the use of force instead of diploma- i cy, and President Kruger, on several ( occasions, had great difficulty in re pressing his hot-headed colleague, notably in 1879, wheu Joubert, with Kruger and Pretorious, was planning the rebelliou to overthrow British rule ] in the Transvaal. The result was Ma- , juba Hill and the practical independ- , * ence of the Transvaal. It was Jou- j bert who organized the army of the ' South African Republic, later on divid- . iug the country into 17 military departments and each of these departments into smaller divisions with commandants, field cornets and lieutenants of various ranks in charge. According to the general's plans i ovprv native heoame a trained soldier without leaving his farm, and has bis equipment always at hand. So near perfect was the system carried out that within 48 hours after the present war was declared the Boer nation was under arms. f It was also due to General Joubert that the South African Republic succeeded in amassing the munitions of war and provisions which have stood i them in such good stead during the conflict now in progress. When the Jameson raiders were locked up in the Pretoria jail, Joubert was strongly in favor of their immediate execution. It was not until Joubert and Kruger had been closeted together for a whole night that the mer- . ciful counsel of Kruger prevailed. 1 In spite of these characteristics, Joubert, on some occasions, showed considerable regard for the usages of i civilization. Wheu the Boers raided British territory, Becbuanaland, in 1884, Joubert, was probably the only prominent Boer who refused to support the movement and his opposition resulted in the withdrawal of the Boers from the territory seized as he threatened to resign unless he bad his way, saying : "I positively refuse to hold office under a government that deliberately breaks its covenants, and we have made covenants with Eugland." Iu November last it was reported that General Joubert had been killed iu action, and later reports said he was 1 daugerously wounded aud had to use . a cart iu order to follow the operations in the field. The circumstances of ; the death of General Joubert are not explaiued in the dispatch from Lorenzo | Marquez, which recalls the fact that ' "William Cox, a newspaper correspondent who was receutly released from I prisou at Pretoria, and who has arrived at Durban, said General Joubert was apparently suspected of* half heartedness, and that his life would be in danger at the hands of the burghers if Pretoria was besieged. ferial Notices.

New Goods Are Coming In a Continuous Stream! BRIGHT AND FRESH FROM THE NORTHERN MARKETS We Are Not Yet at Our Best; But Are Doing What We Can To Make Our Visitors Welcome! WE WILL BE GLAD TO SEE YOU AT ANY TIME Carload of Millinery Received Last Thursday. Opening' on Wednesday and Thursday. April 11th and 12th. While our clerks are busy opening boxes and marking Goods at the lowest reasonable per centage of profit, we want to say to the people of Yorkville and surrounding country, a few words in frank, open confidence. We have always heard that the people of this section could be suited with nothing but Goods of the best quality, rnrrprf- stvle and close nrices. We have fathered too. ? J x 0 / that there is plenty of good, hard sense here ; that the people know, of their own knowledge, when prices, qualities and styles are right, and as a rule they know what they want. It was with these impressions of the people of this locality that Mr. Heath ransacked the Northern Markets, and the tremendous stock he has purchased and selected with a view to meeting exactly these requirements. The prospect all round is one we like immensely. With such a public to cater to, our work is easier, more pleasant and satisfactory, and we have no doubt of our ability to meet all requirements. |Working Like Beavers! It was our hope that we would be able today to give a fairly comprehensive list of our New Goods, together with some specimen prices ; but we are sorry to say that we find this impracticable. You know how we are hurried. It was only a few days ago that our goods began to arrive. Then they began coming in a flood. Our entire force has been engaged day and night marking, assorting and arranging them. The printers have kindly given us until the last minute to prepare our story for today ; but after all we'll have to ask further indulgence. We feel confident that by the time this paper gets out among the people, we will be fairly ready for visitors, and so we say to one and all : Come ! We feel sure that we have what you want, and we know that our prices are right, and if you are disappointed, we'll be surprised. New Dress Goods! Ladies who have seen our Percales are delighted with their beauty and astonished at the low prices. They did not think such figures could be named. It is the same ---* *-1- TUrtmfn IXJlufA nurl Prvl Aro/1 AT O/lroCC Qlll'C Willi V^UllUU VV aiaiSj Willie anvt \_uj wi \_vx iTxctv.ii cvjj, wnivj| etc. But of that you had better see for yourself. Gentlemen's Clothing! Although we bought a big lot of Gentleman's Clothing with the Ganson stock, that does not count any more. Much of it has already been sold, and we are rapidly doing away with the balance at prices to suit. It is New Clothing of which we speak. Mr. Heath has bought a handsome line of splendid quality and right as to price. A great deal of the New Stock has arrived, and the balance is coming in rapidly. The chances are about 19 out of 20 that you can get what you want today, and if not, the chances are 20 out of 20 that you can get suited next week. Millinery! Millinery! Mrs. T. M. Dobson is in a better humor just now than any other lady in the country. While in New York she got just such Millinery as she wanted for her friends down here, and as much of it as she wanted. A big Millinery Opening was determined upon some weeks ago, and it was Mrs. Dobson's desire to mention the date last week ; but she was afraid. So few Goods had arrived that there was a chance of serious disappointment ; but on Thursday we received an ENTIRE CARLOAD OF MILLINERY, and are now reasonably safe in fixing Wednesday and Thursday, Ini'il 11 til sillfl 12til. as the days for our proposed Opening. The time is short ; but our ladies are plucky, and they will make a show that will be worth a trip of miles. Miss O'Keefe, of New York city, is our expert trimmer. We claim to be the kind of folks who do not talk very apologetically under any circumstances; but we cannot perform impossibilities. The public fully understands how we have been rushed, and all we have to say in conclusion is : Come and see what we have accomplished in the short time since our establishment here. J.
