Cape Town, March 27.—The prepa rations for the state funeral of Cecil Rhodes, which will take ’place here April 2. are alrea ly in progress. Flags are half-masted everywhere. Those who attended the sick bii say Mr. Fihodes continually sorrowed over the fact that he left so much un accomplished. “So little done; so much to do.“'was an expression which he used more than once.

Boxes of ice were let into the roof of the seaside cottage at Muizonberg, where he died yesterday; punkas were continually kept in motion and extra windows were cut in the walls.

TO REUNION VISiTORS. .Mr Smith l.ipKcump AiIvImcn km to t.m Beti Wav to Reach Dalian. (Correspondence ot The Ledger.) Bonham, Tex , March 27, 1902 — Attention f x-Confederates and friends of Gaffney and vicinity! I would ad vise after reaching Texarkana to, buy your tickets over the trans-conti nental of the Texas Pacific railroad i y way of Paris and Bonham to Sher man, down Texas Central by McKin ney to Dallas. This route will give you a fine view of some of Texas’ mo-t magnificent farming lands. It will be a prairie route. If you go over the main line of the Texas and Pacific railroad from Texarkana to Dallas by way of Marshall it will be timbered sandy land most of the way. Each of these roads belongs to the Texas and Pacific, one designated as the main line, the other trans-continental to F «rt Worth where they again be- come one line westward bound. Hop ing many of the old hoys may come to Dallas to the reunion and take a birds eye view of the Empire State of this union, b>r an opportunity lik - this wiil never ‘offer its'-if again to many of the old iron gray boys.
