The Boundary Dispute Between Rus-
sia and China.
London, May 4.— Dispatches from
Shanghai state that the dispute between
China and Russia regarding the frontier
of Manchooria has become acute, owing
to the non-arriyal of Russian members of
the delimitation commission, and the con-
stant postponement of the date of their
arrival at the place of meeting to settle
the boundary question. The Chinese
commissioners have been ready for months
to begin the work of delimitation, and
the failure of the Russian commissioners
to meet them has caused the Chinese gov-
ernment to fear that the farce enacted re-
specting the Afghan frontier will be per-
formed in this case. Now that the diffi-
culty with France, in relation to Ton-
qfiin, has been settled, China has become
more courageous, and lias demanded that
Russia fulfill her part of the agreement
which led to the appointment of the com-
mission.
Relief From the First Application.
When a person has suffered the untold
agonies of rheumatism and neuralgia 22
years, where physicians have failed, and
when a liniment cures at one application,
the fact ought to cause thinking people to
pause and consider if a bottle ought not to
be in immediate readiness in every house-
hold for the instant cure of the aches and
pains that afflict mankind. Such was the
evidence of G. M. Sanders, of Madison. .
Ala., and there arc volumes of other testi-
monials of a like character to certify that
Mansfield’s Magic Arnica Liniment is the
best, the par excellence of all pain killers.

Davies and Mrs. J. C. Jarratt have joined

—An amusing incident occurred in con-
nection with the Sunday school celebra-
tion last Friday. A little girl who was
looking .on at the bear dance when the
large brute attacked its keeper, became
terribly frightened, and was excessively
nervous that afternoon, apprehending that
the bear might get loose again and take
in the town. To quiet the little one’s
■fears, her mother told her that bears
would not harm good little girls. “But,

—The Rev. Mr. Boone preached an ex-
edllent sermon last Sunday morning to
the cliijdren of his congregation, using as
his text the fifth .commandment of the
decalogue, which-enjains obedience and
■reverence to parents. <Lt was a good lec-
tture, and seemed to impress a large ma-
jority of that class to whom it was ad-
dressed. It is well to devote earnest and
special attention to the-rising generation.
We all realize that the ifeoys and girls of
ito-day will soon be tlie men and women
wielding the destinies of the land, and
they cannot be .too carefully trained and
instructed to fit them for the duties of
life, if we expect them te'become useful
.and honorable citizens.
—The organization of our business men
for the purpose of securing the recogni-
tion of their rights and protection of their
interests has begun to bear fruit, the par-
ticular evidence of which we will unfold
in due time. The committees are at
work, and will .be ready to report on
some of the matters entrusted to their
•care at the meeting to be held on the 11th
for perfecting permanent organization.’
Keep your own counsels, gentlemen ; be
•careful of what specific engagements you
enter into, and continue to stand shoulder

—A few minutes after the-big cinnamon
tear commenced caressing lias keeper dur-
ing the exhibition at the picnic grounds
last Friday, more than half the ladies and
children had placed a six-foot fence be-
tween themselves and this unexpected
part of the show. They did not stand
.upon the order of their going over that
fence, but just got right over. But some
of the “grown up” girls were very solicit-
ous, as soon as the flurry of excitement
subsided, to know how they got over the
fence, and whether the boys saw ihem
scaling it. Don’t trouble yourselves with
such reflections, dear girls; it would be a
very stupid girl who would not have
sense enough to get out of the way of a
cinnamon bear when he was on the war
path. As girls are not drilled iu such im-
promptu evolutions, it is not expected
that the grace and poetry of movement !
which characterizes their carriage upon
all proper occasions should be maintained
when they are escaping from infuriated ;
cinnamon bears, whose fondlings break ■
the bones of strong men as if they were ;

ville. It was the day dedicated by general | Laura Music, by her guardian, Angeline
consent to the Sunday schools of the McElroy, vs. B. P.Swindell; judgment as
town. The day was admirably adapted
to the occasion, being clear and cool.
The Sunday schools assembled at their
respective churches in the morning, and
when the Methodist Sunday school had
been formed into classes, they were
marched to the Cumberland Presbyterian
church, where the Sunday school of that
church were awaiting their arrival. After
the two schools bad been seated, there . . ...........
was not sitting room in. the church for all A. Stevenson and AVylie Pierce; judg-
who entered, and many had to stand.
After the rendering of some choice music
by the choir, Mr. Frank Newton was in-
troduced as orator of the day. He com-
menced his address in an easy, self-pos-
sessed manner, and spoke with happy
effect for about thirty minutes. Ilis ad-
dress was admirably adapted to the audi-
ence and the occasion, and was univer-
sally commended. It was well calculated
to entertain and please the older ones of
his audience, as well as to impart to the
younger ones the precepts of wholesome
advice. At the conclusion ot Mr. New-
ton’s address, the Sunday schools formed
in a column of twos, and marched away
in a beautiful parade to the picnic grounds
in a pleasant grove on the Ragsdale es-
tate, in the southern suburbs of town.
Here, under the spreading branches of the
trees, a long table stretched for more than
a hundred feet, and upon it was collated a
rich profusion of food.
AVhen the hour for dinner arrived, the
Sunday schools were marshaled at the
long table, and after Rev. Mr. Dinwiddie
had invoked divine blessing, a large per
centum of the sumptuous collation was
annihilated with animated good order.
Yet, after all had been satisfied, an abund-
ance remained on the tables.
Everything connected with the celebra-
tion thus far had transpired in a most sat-
isfactory manner. Just after dinner-had
been discussed, the major portion of the
crowd collected in a circle around a counle
of wandering Dagos, who had been ad-
mitted to the grounds with two large cin-
namon bears, So witness the performances
of the animals. The smaller one went
through his programme in a satisfactory
manner, but when the larger one was
brought into the ring he became refracto-
ry, and attacking his keeper, broke his
left arm and escaped fiom him, making
towards the woods behind a portion of
the spectators. Then there was a genuine
stampede of all the spectators. The other
Dago rushed ft® his partner’s rescue, but
after he got hold of the bear’s halter, it
seemed for a time that he would not be
able to manage .the infuriated beast, but
he luckily succeeded in getting^ tethered
to a tree, when the crowd became quieted.
This untoward event, however, had the
effect of.practically cutting short the pro-
gramme for the balance of the evening,
among (he features of which was the pa-
rade of the “Merry Bells,” and some
pretty songs by the small choristers of
Mi's. Miller’s academy. It was generally ,
regretted by all that these interesting fea-
tures of the evening’s exercises were omit-
ted, but the'flurry of excitement caused
by the bear’s viciousness caused many to
return home, 4ind practically ended the
general features of the celebration.
Altogether, the good people of Jackson-
ville are to be congratulated upon having
concerted and conducted a most happy
celebration, during all of which good or-
der and fraternity were conspicuous to a
most gratifying extent. It is good for the
people of .a community thus to assemble
and fraternize in promoting the pleasure
and happiness of their youth, and the fact
that they have been able to d<o so without
the slightest social or ethical friction is
much to their praise.
