THE CoLoRED People AND LOCAL
OPTIONAL a meeting of the colored
people at Fort Prairie, in this county,
Thursday night last, quite number of
the leading white citizens of the COM
munity, by sp. cial invitation from the
colored men, were present. Isaac
Axe was called to the chair, and stated
IN an honest and sensible manner the
objects of the meeting, and urged upon
the colored people the importance of
their united efforts in attempting to
adopt local option IN this county. His
entire speech was characterized by is
earnestness and sound sense. Quite q
number of colored men who are re-
spected by all who know them, as
Woodworking, law-abiding citizens,
expressed themselves before anything
was said by any white person present,
and their sound arguments convinced
all present that those of that section
Of our county, at least, are in favor of
law and order. After good advice
from several of the white gentlemen
present, Newton Collins, Henry Har

THE Capital State Fair Association

THE Capital State Fair Association
received from various sources, during
the yea- closing with the last annual
exposition, #3,979.9O. The total
amount of orders drawn against this
sum up to January %, 1876, was
IS, coz. 30. The amount of stock taken
in the association, of character thss
will be paid up, is 574 shares, repre-
senting $l4, $50. The amount of stock
required to place the association on a
proper footing is G56 shares, all of
which should be paid up at an early
day, since this amount is necessary to
secure undIsputed title to the estate.
The parties from whom the ground was
purchased took paid up stock in the
association, amounting to SIT, 10G.2J,
in full payment, giving bond for title.
The necessity of stockholders making
good the G76 shares is therefore APP
parent, and the matter ought 90 be put
in shape at the earliest day. Let &C
tivity be infused into the association,
and let this year not close without its
affairs being placed on proper foot
ing. The stock is valuable, and will
command par whenever the subscrip-
ton books are full and all dues paid

RELICS. A correspondent writes
from Menardyille that Mr.. Matthew
Brown has found in the vicinity of the
old Spanish fort number of leaden

to raise excitement, and now it is ex-

and other coin. The excavations are
going on to the depth of ten feet below

MORE HONESTY AND LESS DOGMA NEEDED.
To the Editor Of the Nation.
ITHACA, n. T., Nov. 30.-S1R: The recent
article Of the Nation on 's The Church as an
Aid to Good Conduct" III which reference is
made to the number OF culprits in the late cases
Of fraud and defaleatiou who were pro{cssinr
Christians, and the question asked why religion
does not act more pow erfully as q rule OF CON
duct, is interesting as recognition Of some of
the facts OF the case and as the opening of a
subject which very much needs discussion: but
the answer it giyes-that it is because people
have lost faith in the fall, the atoncmcnt. the
resurrection, the supernatural authority OF
Jesus Christ, and generally in the dogmatic
part OF Christianity, and because they do not
believe with the assurance they once did

An exchange combats with consid.
cradle vigor the argument that the
city papers, are cheaper and better
than county papers. because they give
more columns Of reading matter for
the money. DO the city papers, il
asks, ever give you any thing in re.
gard to your county,. Nothing. DO
they contain notices Of your schools,
church-meeiings, Improvements, and
hundreds Of other local matters Of in.
terest, which your paper publishes
without payS Not an item. DO they
ever say a word calculated to draw
your attention to your county and its
numerous thriving towns and aid in
their progress aud enterprise? Not II
word. And yet there are men with
such contracted views of this matter,
that unless they are getting as many
square inches Of reading matter in
their own as they do in a city paper,
they think they are not getting the
worth Of their money. Ii reminds us
Of the person who took the largest
pair of boots in the box, simply be-
cause they cost the same as pair
much smaller that & tied him.
