Judging from Lord Robot is j
raseology the occupation of Prc

life. What has happened to the
ioer forces, which so insistently op
posed the British advance at Six

Dvesumably, they have got a\v.s) f,,r
present. at arty rate. I he latest
'press dispatches from a representative

saying:
"So-long as we can still count on our i

Thus though their efforts were piti
fully futile, it is evident that the faith
ful Boers worked desperately to resist
the overwhelming force of Lord Rob
?ePLs' army.
The War Office has information that j
one of the first things done by Lord j
Roberts after the occupation of Pre

relieve the British prisoners confined

have gladdened the heart of Mr. "Wil

have made him feel compensated for
all the trials he had encountered in

The party has been having on an aver
age of three banquets' a day and by
Saturday they were decidedly sutiateo
until the great Richmond finale occurr
ed. There were some good speeches at
j tho "Raleigh and Portsmouth func

Richmond showed in what high es
teem it holds a sturdy, during railroad
organizer, the S< 1 hoard system, and
financiers who put their money freely
in distinctly Southern enterprise.
Tho banquet wus stupendous. Three
hundred and fifty at a banquet may
not. be very many, but when the ele
gance of the appurtenances, the decor
ations, the souvenirs, the spoecbos, the
make-up of the party, the environ
ments, are all considered, it is realised
what a splendid affair it really was. No
expense was spared in the banquet and
it' is a record-making incident in tho
industrial history of the South.
The banquet hall was divided into
sections and tlie guests in tho. *>ue sec
tion were quite removed f#>in each
other. Each table seated 24 guests and
there were ten tables. 'I here was a
dais at the head of the table on which
were seated President Williams, the
distinguished speakers, and members
of tho directorate. Each table was ex
quisitely decorated with out flowers
and vines, and tho bill of fare ? experts
had been working 011 it for weeks, and
why should it not be elegant? The
toasts were brief and from prominent
speakers.
Governor J. Hoge Tyler acts jis toast

c l he. address of welcome on behalf of
the Seaboard Air Elne was made by

It may he, however, that IxmisviUe
has importuned and reached out her
generous hands so far and so wide and
been so lavish in her preparations to
receive them that they dropped every

J grimagc to Mecca to hear Nr. Palmer's
great address? great is the word-?
great and grand. I want every i^ou
and daughter of a confederate veteran
to read it and feel inspired with con
federate pride. The truth Is, we have
whlppo.1 this fight and th? victory is
olirs; after bo long a time We are slow

Sheridan never rodo at all ? or, if ho

Manning has settled th.it, arid even
the northern press admits it. He is
the braggart who said he would make
our land so desolate the crows would

Hut the crows didn't. The south is
all right ? no crows ? no buzzards and
no carpet baggers ? thank the good
