J. lP Ross Farquhar Too FanSH,-In last week's issue of the Mitchell Recorder we noticed the following-" Cromarty invaded by the Boers. Upon reading the item we recognized that this ignominious re- mark referred to the boysof this vil- lage. They were accused of attending a dance held in tbe public hall with- out an invitation. We are told. that Constable Etty ordered them home, 'as their company was not requested, Having a small proportion of their gentlemanly accomplishments left, .and thinking that the above official bad the hall engaged as a private in- dividual, they quietly retired. Now we ask the constable why he did not use all alike, for he knows that many others attended the same affair with- out, as he says, an invitation, and were allowed to remain. "But oh," he says, "they would not dance with the fairest of Cromarty's daughters." If he and his staff of officers think their society so much better than that of our boys they had better dis- pose of their uniforms, subject their troops to the severest discipline and improve their fortifications, or "their Cromarty" will some night be taken by storm, as we Boers are sharp shooters.
