Is this the way nat the Freedmen had
School Houses built or them? We had sup

property; and SO fci as the property Of the
colored school Of Van Buron is concerned, we
do not think they have.

about midnight supper was served at the Cen

princess of Landladyi, Mrs, BAEBrR. We
have rarely seen \ better supper in our town.

their respective members. Money getting Is

the Counties, aud even the Towns, how ever
insignificant on the score Of population can
boast OF their petty rings of llliputian
schemes, who burn tic midnight oil, racking
their puny brains in the perfection OF plots
and plans, not to benefit the people. but to use
tlrcln for their own individual aggrandise-
ment. Oar Federal Constitution isa dead let
