GAINESVILLE, TEXAS, March 1.-The
continued rains which have been falling Tor
the past two months have ceased, ana we
are supremely happy. The people are
swarming about like. bees on a warm day
after continued cold weather. Everybody
wears a smiling face, and the farm work, so
long delayed, will be resumed.
Ii has been muddy. Yes; don't think
that sufficiently emphatic. 1t has been
awfully, outrageously, abomlnably, essen,
tially and ~emphatically muddy, beyond
any and al doubt. The like has never been
seen before, even in this black wax. Riders
~dismounted and took IL on foot, and wag-
oners whipped and yelled, and used the
most emphatic adjectives known in the
English language. To make a long matter
short. an embargo was laid on travel OF all
sorts. The merchants here now have
freight In Mckinney depot, which las been
there seven weeks. Everything except
Whiskey and garden seed nearly have been
let Law there as the,wagoner e.domanded
from si.25 TO 500 per 100 pounds for
wagonage from Mckinney here. The dis
lance is only 10 miles. This seems out.
rageOus, but considering the ccndilon Of
tie roads il is worth every cent OF the
money 10 haul the freight. The saloon
men have had whiskey brought, and the
merchants have had garden seed and some
Little coffee and sugar. Only such necessa-
ries can be freighted al such exor Ditant
rates.

"odd Fellows Parade"

The Odd Fellows made fine ap.
pearance on the streets last We'd
nesday afternoon. Several visiting
members were in the city beside
delegates, but no Lodge in a body,
we think, from abroad. A brass
band from Greensboro, and the
Sharon band furnished the music
for the occasion. They marched
through some of the principal
streets TO Zion Church, but owing
to some misunderstanding OF the
Sexton, he had not opened the
church and the procession marched
on to the M. E. Church, the doors
of which were thrown open to
them, and were then addressed by
P. N. F., J. A. Tyler. The address
waspointed and interesting. Though
quite short it was highly apprecia-
ted by all who heard it. s. P. West
acted as Master of ceremonies.

North Carolina, G.. U. o. of o. F.,
met in Odd Fellows Hall, this city,
on Friday last, at IL m, and was
duly opened by Grand Master I. B.
Abbott. A large number of lodges
was represented by delegates. After
going through the usual prelimina-
ries, questions of great Importance
were discussed, among which was
discussed with great interest, edu-
cation and care of the orphans, and
relief of widows of deceased BROTH
ers of the order. From the spirit
exhibited, the future prospect of this
branch of the order is brighter than
over. The bringing to the front
such men as G. G. Scurlock, ]. A.
Tyler, W. e. Holly, and others, is
bound to have a telling effect upon
the Order. Geo. G. Sourlock is quite
a young man, the most respected
and industrious in his section.
While he has spent much time for
the good Of his people, he has stood
by the forge and anvilin his own shop
and brought himself up to a mate
rial standpoint that makes him in.
dependent. honest, outspoken upon
all the topics of the day, and always
looking out for the general good of
his people. Being of the highest
moral standing, he has done more
for the moral elevation of his peo-
pie than any young man in the
State. He is a consistent member
of the church, and strictly temper
ate in his habits. We congratulate
the Lodge upon the election Of Bro.
Scurl0ck az its chief officer.
After harmonious session of two
days, the Grand Lodge ended its
labors. The next session will be
held in Goldsboro the first Tuesday
in August, 1883. Past Grand Mas
tor l. B. Abbott was elected to rep
resent the District Lodge at the q.

sAMso's CHANCE IN MEckLENBvRe
POLITICS.

The celored people now have a
grand opportunity to have some re-
cognition on the Republican ticket
this fall here that they never have
had, or will have for many years to
come. This is caused by the fact
that this County was carried by
500 majority for the Antiprohibi-
ton ticket; aid d thus making victory
possible this fall. In scoring this
victory the colored people cast, prac-
tically, a solid vote for Anti-prohibi-
ton, and from this issue we have a
combining of different elements of
both parties into a coalition party,
whose solo object is the defeat of
the Bourbon Democracy. Now this
party claims the negro veter as its
faithful ally, because of his vote on
Anti-prohibition, and relies on his
vote to carry this County against
the organized Democracy this fall,
for without the negro votes the
party would not elect single man.
Now, this being true, the colored
voter must demand a colored repre-
sentative on the ticket. He is in
majority in the Republican party,
and should demand a just recogni-
ton Of his rights. The so-called
leaders Of the Republican party
have pledged the negro votes to the
new party without his consent, and
have practically dropped the Re-
publican party and have taken hold
Of the Liberal or Coalition party.
This being the case, there being
no Republican party to fight for,
what is the negro voter to dor Vote
on which side he may he will vete
a Democratic ticket. The only diff.
ference between the two parties
now is simply what they promise,
not what they have done. Such
being the case, tho Democracy be-
ing demoralized, a new. party being
formed, then the negro should de-
mand that his representative be one
of his own color, or that the elective
Offices be divided with him,
The colored people here have
never had an Intelligent conception
Of their power as voters. For in
stance, in the election in 1880 in the
Ord Ward in Charlotte, W. r..
Myers, for Congress, received a ma
iority Of 100 votes over Major Dowd.
Buxton $50 over Jones, and Gar
field 148 over Hancock. There were
not 80 white Republican cast, and
all the colored men voted straight
Republican, We mow, as we kept
the name Of every Republican who
voted, and can show how every man
