Mrs. George Truss has Just opened an ice
cream iioon and boarding house, near the

There seems to be growing desire among
the intelligent, thinking classes of the colored
people everywhere, for the publication of col
| ored newspapers which shall take high van
| tage ground in behalf of the real interests of
the race, namely: Its intellectual, moral and
material advancement and which papers
| shall be conducted by able minds upon broad
and catholic principles, and which shall in
| point of erudition and scholastic ability, as
! displayed through them by their publishers,
compare favorably with most of the newspa-
pers published by representatives of the other
| nationalities of our country.
We believe The Leader to be such a paper:
and that it is ably supplying the long-felt
want. Its able editorials upon the leading
questions of State and National policy, and
| administration, as affecting various and some
times conflicting interests; its fund of news on
weighty and important subjects of a miscel-
laneous character it's close Identification with
the interests of the races as represented at the
National Capitol through its able Washington
| correspondent; and its items from various
| points of social and society news, place 1T in
the front ranks of the colored journalism OF
this country, and makes 1t worthy the patron
age of every one in favor of IAN equal chance
and fair play" The Leader in the future will
be welcome visitor to many Dayton readers
