A Tale Of Love.
One quiet night in leafy June, when bees
and birds were all in time, two lovers walked
beneath the moon. The night was fair-so was
the maid they walked and talked beneath the
shade, with none to harm or make afraid. Her
name was Sue and his name was jim, and he
was fat and she was slim; he took to her and
she to him Says Jim to Sue-"By all the
snakes that squirm among the brush and brakes,
like you better buckwheat ca es. y Says
Sue to Jim-sSince you We begun it, and been
and come and done it. like you next to a new

busted but have always gals mistrusted. y
SAYS Sue to JIM will be true; If you love
me as I love you no knife can cut our love in

RADICAL PROGRAMME There is no excuse
now for the native Union man who votes the
Wells ticket, and yet processes to desire a
white man S government. The negroes them
selves have fairly forced up the political issue of
at least the present equality Of the races, and
Wells endorsed them. And we'll might car
