of manly pride; he looks upon his chill

1t sickness comes, and for while the
father, or mother, or child causes the
work to stop, or doctors bills are made,
still they have home, home which
the law protects for them; it can not be
sold for debt, and the mother and the
children can never be turned out. The
new constitution now being made bv the
Convention protects homestead from
sale provided it is not worth more than
two thousand dollars If it is worth
over two thousand dollars it can be sold
but the two thousand dollars are still
kept for the family. ....
The money put into home is money
in the safest place in the world.
God owns the world, He intended the
land should be titled, and he INTENDED
that every man should have as much as
he can cultivate. The greediness of men
make them want more than they reallv
need. This is free country and every
man is at liberty to buy himself a piece
of land and make him home.
When the colored people begin to make
home they will begin to be really free.
Treasure this in your heart and get a

A good way is to club together and buy
a piece of land and divide it up into lots
After the lot is bought put up house, no
matter how humble it is, it will save rent.
1t will be a home, and everything you do
about 1t, every dollar you spend upon it

In the eye Of the law it will be your

The time is come when every colored

A man who rents either house to
