Dounty Alliance Meets.
^Editor Enterprise?-The Conn
ty Alliance met in the courthouse
on the 13th instant at 10 o'clock.
Vice President Brother B. F.
Miller called the meeting to or
der, and alter prayer by Brother
T. S. Kiddle, the Alliance was
ready for business. Although
'.the attendance was not as full as
usual on account ol kotue mem
rbers attending other meetings,
yet we had an interesting and
profitable meeting. All seemed
to have the Alliance obligation
at heart.
? Now, brethren, we read in Thk
Entkkpkisk sometime ago an
article' from an Allianceman
which we enjoyed very much.
:Iri this article was set forth the
financial part of the Alliance.
Don't think that we mean to
criticise; we wish to carry the
Alliance principles a little far
ther. Man lias a mental and
moral as well as a physical exis
tence, and both should be equally
developed. Our aims are high;
our purpose noble. We aim to
elevate man by blending together,
thus dissolving prejudice and all
selfishness, to constantly strive to
secure entire harmony and good
Will among all mankind and
brotherly love among ourselves
We arc Allied together to ren
der the lives of farmers and labor
era more attractive and country
life less lonely. We aim, by cul
tivating the mind, to reach s
ibigher degree of intelligence. W?
do say that the Alliance organ
ization is one of the best educa
tors, both mental lv, morally
socially and financially, outside
of the church of God. if carried
out to the letter.
Kow, Brethren, donH all witl
Ope consent begin to make ex
coses, but lay aside all selfishness
and let us recognize every sub
/Uliance in the county, and sent

Boers Not Intruding.
London, Oct. 16.?So far as actual
news is concerned, very lit
tie change in the situation is to
be noticed. The state of affairs at
Mafeking can only be conjectur
ed. The occupation of New Oastle
by the Boers was prepared for
and expected, the fc>lace having
been abandoned by the British.
The Boers are reported to be menacing
Kimberley. ,
Very heavy rains ahd snow are
reported which hamper the Boer
movements and they are finding
that they began too late to gain
the initial successes they counted
ou. They evidently found the ad
vance upon Harrismith difficult,
either from the north and weBt,
' as Gen. Sir George Stewart
; White's reconnaissance seems to
i have autficed to deter them for
the present.
The peaks of the Drakensburg
| range are snow covered, and the
storms which have occurred must
i have caused the Boers great discomfort
which probably explains
their failure to attack Gen. White.
Masterly inactivity characterizes
the operations on both sides.
' PerBisten rumors are in circula
tion that .he Schreiner ministry
t to Cape Colonv has been dismiss)
ed and that Mr. ross Innes has
been asked to form a cabinet.
These rumors, however, are without
foundation.
sir Aitred Milner hag wired to
Mr. Chamberlain the text of an
' intlamatory circular which Field
Cornet Viljeoti circulated in Joi
hannesburg gome weeks ago with
a view of incensing the Afrikan
* ders on both sides of the Orange
river against England.
I DIAMOND TOWN BKBIKOBD BY CON
' SIDKRABLB FORCE.
^ London, Oct. 10.?The Daily
' Mail's Capetown correspondent,
telegraphing Sunday evening
^ says: Kimberly is besieged and
' the Boers are masking in force.
No details, however, are obtiina*
Ll?
UIO.
The Boers have cut the railway
at Belmont, have seized the Spyfontein
railway station and conatructed
fortified earthworks.
There are strong defending forces
at Madder Bridge and OraDge
I river bridge.
i "The object of these energetic
- opeiations is believed to be the
capture of Cecil Rhodes. Kimber
, ly is now isolated, both railway
r and telegraphic communication
, being cut."
, Capetown, Oct. 15.?The Mad-j
der river station master reports
that firing has beon heard in the
HO It OKI) TDK GRAVE.
A startling incident, of which Mr.
1 John Oliver of Philadelphia, was the
subject, is narrated by him as follows :
'I was in a most dreadful condition.
My skin was almost yellow, eyes sun|
ken, tongue coated, pain continually
in bark amd sides, noawaatite?irradu
ally growing weaker day by day.
Three physicians bad given ine up.
Fortunately, a friend advised trying
F.lectric Hitters; and to my great joy
and surprise, the first bottle made a
oecided improvement. I continued
their use for three weeks, and am now
a well man. I know they saved my
life, and robbed the grave of another
victim." No one dhould fail to try
them. Only 60c.. guaranteed, at Crawford

direction of Kimberly, end the
station at Belmont telegraphs
that a force of Boers is advancing
southward. *
Flowerdew, the engine driver
of Oftpt. Nisbitt's train, which was
derailed and bombarded by 'the
Boers, states that if the train had
returned when warning was re
ceived the Boers held the line, it
could easilv have made its way
back to Maribogo, but Oapt Nes
bitt insisted upon an endeavor
being made to reach Mafeking.
"When the pilot engine whs
derailed," said Flowerdew, \v.?
spent a half hour trying to ro
place it on the track. Then the
Boers commenced firing, and *ev
eral men were wounded. 9
"The lining was kept up all p
night, but without effect. The f
Boers were careful to concentrate
their fire upon the engine, so as ^
to save the armored carriage and
amuuition trucks. At dawn they
commenced to bombard the cars.
I escaped by crawling a mile and ^
a half on my belly in the sand. H
When both engines were destroy v
ed Capt. Nesbitt exhibited flags c
of truce, but the Boers continued r
their firing for another quarter of" w
an hour. M
''There is no doubt that all the H
others on the train are prisoners
and that the carriage and the am *
munition intact fell into the ^
hands of the Boers. 1
"Flnwerdew was fearfullv
bruised.
"There is au unconfirmed ru H
mor that the imperial forces 111 r
tercepted a body of Transvaal Bo B
ers who were attempting to join '
the Boer forces at Madder river
and that a heavy eng<gement or
curred at Spyfontein station,
south of Kiraberlev."
THE U08PITAL TRAIN HAD A NARROW
ESCAPE.
Nryburg, Cape Colony, Oct. 15.
?A hospital train that started
for Maribogo has just returned
after an adventurous journey. It
had reached a curve on a culvert
seven hundred yards south of
Maribogo and had iust. slackened .
? ? I
speed when it r.as observed that t
the rails ahead had been uptured. j
The brakes were applied, bur the (
engine passed on to one rail part- |
lv raised, and was derailed. 'Ihe (
occupants immediately righted ^
the engine. At the time it was (
observed that a party of Boers (
were galloping into the line east j
of the railway, but well on the Cape
Colony side of the border.
Some of the passengers declared f
that they saw a cannon poin * 11
at me train, i ne intention ot the
Boers was apparently hostile. The
train ran back to Vrybnrg at full
speed, the engine flying a white "
flag with a red cross. Picks and
shovels were seen lying about and
the Boers had apparently been
disbursed while removing the
rails.
Previous to the starting of the
train Maribogo telephoned Vrvburg
asking that the train be sent
up as all was quite safe. The operator
at Vrybnrg recognized the
voice of a European store clerk,
and it is believed the Boers compelled
him to speak through the
telephone.
The nearest Boer command to
Vrybnrg is Laagered, north of
