The period for handing in arms and ammunition by burghers and residents of this town and district has been extended to March 26th.
After a notice that Major Hamilton, the Carabineers, would like to receive two £5 notes, a Mauser pistol, a pair of Zeiss glasses and a grey gelding, all lost by various persons in and near the town, we published our editorial announcement that the paper was established by and for Lord Roberts's army:—
EDITORIAL ANNOUNCEMENTS.
The events of the last few days have rendered it expedient that an official organ should be published in Bloemfontein during the period of Military Governorship. With that end in view, and also to provide for public requirements, a small committee formed from the corps of war correspondents with Lord Roberts's Field Force has been entrusted with the control and management of the long-established paper hitherto known as The Friend of the Free State.
In future this will be issued under the style and title of The Friend, and will be a daily publication, containing military intelligence and orders for the general information of the troops now quartered here, and other matter.
