We reached Singapore on the 25th
at 9 p. in., too late to go aslibre, so an
chored itrTIie harhor all night.
We were up bright ami early next
morning to catch our first glimpse of
a really tropical country. Singapore
is only ninety miles from the equator,
and has very nearly the same climate
the year round. The nights and days
are of equal length ami there is no
twilight. When the sun disappears
entirely darkness sets in at once. We
heard a great clamor of voices and
shoiits of laughter from the outside,
so hurried on deck as quickly as pos
sible to see what Hie fun was. We
found a myriad of quaint canoes and
and dugonts clustered near the
steamer, and the occupants (mostly
tiny Cingalese boys clad only in coats
of shiny brown skin) were diving for

The disease was very prevalent at tbai

Our doctors treated it as best they could,
but were very unsuccessful in the treat
ment of it. As soon as my family were
taken sick I went to the drugstore and
bought six bottles of Pe-ru-na, and w«
all took it according to the directions
given on the bottle; and although otll
cases seemed to be more than usually
violent in the outset, yet our recovery
was prompt, and we were all well much
sooner than those who were treated by
the regular physicians.

it was great fun to see them plunge

finally the round heads would appear

Batesville, Ark, March 28,1900.
Hon. W. C. Bcnn:—
fiMy_ Dear Sir:—A lady friend, who
says she heard me speak of your mother
some years ago. sent me yesterday a
copy of The Cedartown Standard of
March 22d., containing the announce
ment of her death on the Sabbath morn-
ing previons.^Far be it from me, a
total stranger, to thrnst myself into the
sacred precincts of the private sorrow
of the family of this sainted woman,
but I beg the privilege of mingling my
tears with yonr’s over the earthly rest
ing place of one whom I too loved and
honored, and to rejoice with you that
she has now entered into rest prepared
for her by the dear Savior whom she
loved so well and followed so faithfully.
With me it is literally true that “I was
a stranger and she took me in, I was
sick and she ministered unto me.” In
December, 1803, the command to which
I belonged was sent down near Cave
Spring and Cedartown to feed up and
recruit onr horses, and just as we ar
rived there I was taken sick and a man
was sent out by my Captain to secure
quarters at a private house, and your
mother and father kindly permitted
them to take me to their house, near
Cedartown, where I remained sick and
convalescing some three weeks. Your
mother cared for-and waited on me
with all the tenderness of a mother,
nursing me back to health. From tnat
day to this she has filled to the full my
highest ideal of a noble Christian wo
man, and as such has always occupied a
place in my deepest affections. Is it
askiDg too much then that you allow
me to say this much? I trust not.
As the years pass by I am more im
pressed with the exalted privilege of
being born of Christian parents and
reared in a Christian home. No man,

“There is talk of a combination be
tween the Seaboard and the Chatta
nooga, Rome and Southern, or the ab
sorption of the latter, which, with the
building of a few miles of additional
line, would enable the Seaboard to get
into Chattanooga over its own rails and
become a formidable rival of the South

point. At present the Seaboard is de
pendent upon a working arrangement
with the Nashville, Chattanooga and St.
