brate the poets of the Ohio valley, namely
Kinney, Cutter, Gallagher and others The
colored patrons of the school are expected to
be present that day as the occasion will be
made interesting.
Pursuant to call issued by Fountain
Lewis, jr., number of persons assembled
at the Union Baptist Church last Wednes-
day evening to discuss and agree upon some
plan of raising money for the Orphan Asy-
lum. After some consideration it was de-
termined to render the cantstas of Esther
and Daniel during the holidays. When
these cantatas were played some time ago,
large audiences were attracted, and hence
we judge these cantatas will be treat to all
lovers of good singing.
A few of the patriarchs of this city spent
last Friday evening as the guests of Col
Robert Harlan, rather an enjoyable evening
was spent, and all departed with kindest re.
collections of their host.
Mr.. Thomas Triplett, the popular princi-
pal of Third Street School, last Sunday had
seven degrees added to his masonic record.

Mr.. G. w. Reynolds, teacher in Whining
ton, o., and boon companion of "Wraign,"
visited this city on Thanksgiving day From
him we CLEANED several points concerning
"Wraign" One of which is when several
of the teachers remained in Springfield after
a Teachers Institute and under "Wraign's"
leadership were going to organize Coloreed
Teachers Association but lol and beholdl
Wraign commenced to speak of "mixed
schools" A sudden transitioal But Mr..
Reynolds is very pleasant young man, who
likes to let everybody know with what la
dies he corresponds.
Last week we spoke of the departure of
Hon. Geo. w. Williams for New Mexico on
business trip. A party of New York cap
italists are planning to purchase land and
establish colony of colored people out
there, and George has gone out to see after
the possibilities.
The building of the Colored Orphan Asy-
lum seems to have a very unfortunate site.
First street on one side took off a strip of
their land, and soon after street on the
other side did likewise. Now the Great
Northern Railroad comes to the front and
wants to go bang through almost. We next
expect to hear of tunnel from China COM
ing through from below. Can't the colored
people get up big boom for new build
ing and lot somewhere else2
The desire of office under the new admin
istration has not commenced to boom among
the colored folks, yet there are several prom
inent politicians about town who would Just
as soon hold a foreign mission as not Ohio
was the great center of the late political
contest, and it is we'll known that the ''col-
ored troops fought nobly," so we shall look
for few Offices handed around in town
here.
