Now that the chain gang force is

there is no probability of it being

time is opportune, as soon as the
crops are laid by for the road hands
to be called out and put our public
roads in good condition, lhe matter j
of good public roads is an important
one and too much time cannot be
given to their improvement.

Peace at Last.
London, June 2.? All England
rings today with the joyful tidings
that the Boer war is over. Flags
float in the breeze from every side ;
and the streets of London are jam- j
med with a constantly cheering mass i
of humanity that makes "Mafeking" j
dav of two years ago mild in com- 1
j r>
parison. In every mouth is the name
of Kitchener, who has succeeded in ;
bringing peace out of the muddled j
j:l: A
COUUiUULia 1U uuutu aiuua.
i
Above all comes the Dews that 1
peace so dearly bought may mean j
the downfall of the Chamberlain j
party and the uprising of the Liberal j
star after three years of warfare |
which has "staggered humanity,'' in |
the words of ex President Kroger.
The first news that the Boers had j
signed the "terms of surrender" be- j
came public late yesterday, when the ;
following bulletin was placed outside
the war office:
"Pretoria, Saturday, 11:15 p. m ?
The document containing the peace
term9 of surrender was signed here
this evening at 10:30 by all the Boer
rep'esentatives, as well as the British
high commissioner of South Africa,
Lord Milner and myself. Kitchener."
The king knew of the surrender at
noou and withheld the information
until the cabinet decided whether to
announce the fact Sunday or leave it
for Balfour in the house of commons
today.
Soon after Kitchener's message
was posted the war cffice issued the
following manifesto to the public:
"Toe Hog received the welcome
news of t je cessatioo of hoRtilirips in
South Africa with infinite 6utisfaclio3,
and trusts that peace may speedily
be followed by a restoration of prosperity
in his new dominions, and that
the feeliDgs mcssarily engenderel
by the war will give place to earnest j
co-cperation by all his majesty's
South African subjects thus promoting
the welfare of their common
country."
London, June 2 ?The terms of
peace in South Africa were announced
in the house of commons today by
Mr. Balfour as fellows: The Boers
^orma rjr./*l nplrnnwl
OUllCiiUCl lUCli U 1UJU UUVt xwwv
edge the sovereignty of the king.
The British agree to bring back the
Boer prisoners as speedily as possible,
without loss of liberty and property.
Bieakers of the laws of warfare must
throw themselves on the king's clemency.
Dutch shall be taught in the
schools if so desired by parents, and
used in the courts if necessary. Military
punishment is to end as soon as
possible and civil government shall
be substituted. There shall be no
taxation on the Transvaal to pay the
cost of the war. Three million
pounds is to be provided for stocking
the Boer farms. C.spe Colony rebels
are to be subi-ct to trial and may be
disfranchised for life, tut no death
penaly is to be Lfb.eted.
Great Britain practical-y }ie;os all
demands of the Boers except absolute
independence. The bouse of
commons was crowded to hear the
announcement. The feature of the
hour is the feeling toward the king,
which is one of extraordinary enthusiasm.

sleepy. Corn crops and gardens are
looking fine. Farmers are well up
with their work. Wheat hsrrest
will come in right and we stall soon

We welcome oui* Editor and the

the few moments we spent
with them. Hope they enjoyed their
trip.

Pish Story.
While in town last week ilr.
Walter F. Derrick, who i9 good company
any way, you know, told some
of his fishing experiences which we
enjoyed, one of which being: One day
he was fishing in Uncle Mike Ldwman's
pond, using as a bait a good
size minnow, directly he got a tremendous
"bite"' which nearly dragged
him from his feet and taxed the full
capacity of his well knit muscles to
manage, but by wrapping his line
around a big gum which grew nsar
the waters edge, he succeeded in
landing his fish wnich proved to
be a yearling bream about half
the size of his hand and not much
larger tban the bait Now we can
very well understand, by experience,
how a twelve pound trout can.
swallow a ten inch cat fish, but how
ft r>rmnrl t.rnnt can swallow a half
pound one, then a two pound trout
swallow them both we leave -Judge
Andrew Crawford to explain. But
how a smaller fish can swallow a
larger one is past our understanding,
and we give it up. Y>Te thought we
were good on "fish tales'" but this
takes the cake.
