Scots at Magersfontein. J
St. Louis Republic.
British pluck has never re-
ceived a finer illustration than
that furnished by the Scots regi-
ment constituting the Scottish
Brigade under General Wauchope
in the recent South African bat-
tle of Magersfontein.
Knowing that it was going to
disaster and death through the
folly or madness t)f Methuen,
this devoted body of Caledonians
nevertheless advanced witn a
cheer to the frontal attack for
which success was hopeless, the
bagpipes sounding the Scottish
marches famous in song and
story.
“For God’s sake, men!” cried
their stanch old General,- “don’t
blame me for this. I am only
obeying my orders!” And a little
later, when the deadliest stress
was on, he ct-’led again, “Rail}
on me, Black Watch! It is not
my fault!” With which he died,
and with him were lost <00 men
of the Scottish Brigade.
In all the glorious record of
Scotland’s service to the British
Empire there is no page so glor-
ious or so pathetic as this. It
thrills with the purest heroism.
It brings tears to the eye with its
meaning of superb sacrifice. A
world is not yet hopeless wherein
such deeds are possible. If Scot-
land has a son truly anointed in
poesy the charge of the sons of
Scotland at Magersfontein should
be immortally sung.
Supplies for the Transvsal.
Brussels, Jan. 15.—Dr. Leyds
has been interviewed on the pos-
sibility of the Transvaal going
short of ammunition and food,
owing to the strict blockade of
Delagoa Bay.
“Don’t worry,” he said. “Gen.
Joubert declared everything was
ready before hostilities began.
Every day proves that his words
are true. The harvest has not
suffered through the war. Every
farm in the Transvaal and Free
State is Equipped with American
agricultural machinery and the
Boer women are thoroughly
capable of working. The reason
England has removed the em-
bargo on foodstuffs is in the in-
terest of her prisoners in our
hands.”
When asked ha^sqthe Transvaal
would feed Gen. White’s army if
Ladysmith surrendered, he said:
“The solution of that difficulty
would be best met by sending the
English prisoners to work our
gold mines.”

LEONARD.
From The Graphic.
B. B. Braly and family arrived
last week from Indianola, Miss.
Mrs. Braly’s brother, Mr. Green,
accompanied them and will re-
side at Leonard. Mr. Braly vis-
ited Birmingham, Ala., while he
was gone and says that business
is booming in the iron city of the
South.
Dr. H. S. Pendergrass has sold
both his farm and town property.
J. S. Herndon bought the farm
and S. T. Owens the town prop-
erty. We have not learned the
Dr’s intentions, but understand
that he is thinking of settling
at Myra, in Cooke county. That
is a splendid location for a phys-
ician and the Dr. will be pleased^
with it as well as to reap the coins
of prosperity. Still, we- regret
to see him leave Leonard.
The Graphic folks enjoyed one
of the best plays witnessed in a
long time, during the holidays.
It was the “Deestrick -Skule” 40
years ago, played by home talent,
at Kingston. The play was ren-
dered in Irving Hall at the
college building. The house was
packed, and the play was a dis-
tinguished success from start to
finish.

HONEY GROVE.
From The Signal.
T. D. Ayers has sold his place
on East Main street to N. F. Mil-
ler. The deal was made by
Easterwood, the real estate man.
Mr. J. T. Holt snipped ten cars
of beef cattle to St. Louis Tues-
day.
The Buckner Orphan Hom£
gives annually a gold medal -to'
the person raising the largest
collection for the Home. This
medal was won last year by Miss
Ruby Wilson, of this city, and
she received-her prize a few days
since.
The devil, who by the way has
been an important factor in Honey
Grove affairs this week, entered
into Mr. Holt’s herd of cattle
Sunday morning and such a
stampede of cattle never before
took place in Honey Grove. One
steer was killed and several crip-
pled in the mad rush.
A primary election will be held
in Grayson county next week to
ascertain whether Hon. C. B.- Ran-
dell or Hon. Cecil Smith is~ the
choice of Grayson county Democ-
racy for congress, the candidate
receiving the smallest number of
votes agreeing to withdraw in
favor of his opponent. The pri-
mary is important from the fact
that it will show which of Gray-
son's sons is to be defeated by
Hon. Rosser Thomas.
Mr. W. -Hogan died Monday
night after an illness of nearly
one hundred days. It has been
our pleasure to know many good
men, but never have we known
one who came nearer the mark of
the perfect man than W. H. Ho-
gan. His life was simple and un-
ostentatious and he was satisfied
to tread the humbler walks, bjjt
few men enjoyed a larger circle
of friends. With him life's great
est opportunities were those
differed for doing good deeds,-
speaking kind words and cheer-
ing his fellow man along , life’s
thorny road, and he never al-
lowed such privileges to pass
unimproved. A good man has
gone, but the influence of his un
selfish, pure life remaius, and the
world is better for his having
lived in it. Peace to his ashes.

Some parties shooting rather
recklessly on Thursday night

Methodist parsonage. Brother
Pirtle heard it strike and found
the. ball next morning.
Some of our people have seen
parties prowlitig around their
premises two or three nights dur-
ing the week. Several of our
citizens are preparing for Mr.
Prowler, and if he rdoesn’t mind
he will run up against a welcome
some night that he will not ap-
