A. S. O'Connor who left Lawrence some weeks ago has been heard from. He told no one of his intended departure and nothing had been heard of him, till last Saturday when his father in Grenola received a despatch from Southampton, England. The despatch stated that he was about to start for Cape Town, South Africa, and that he expected to become interested in a gold mine there. He said nothing about returning and evidently expects to remain some time as he ordered his mail to be forwarded to Cape Town.
No reason is assigned for O'Connor's trip to Africa except that he has naturally a roving disposition and a dislike for staying long in any one place.
