kindly influences, preach of the love, /
and sympathy of the Creator Savior
J Jesus, for those whom be brought into

them, and hang them up fol a jump

but he Overcame them all.
CONCERT The Kent Co. Jubilee
Singers (cOlOred) will give a concert

he singing of the colored people, as it
mas an originality and pathos about it
which is far superior to the simulated
Efforts of our white people in their so
,alled negro minstrelsy.

Tribbit's school (cOlored) will give
chOOl entertainment at the Town
Hall; whereat recitatiOns and the usu
j programme of such occasions will
,e carried out. Encourage them by p
our presence, white folk, in the edu- !
alton of the cOlOred people largely
ays the satisfactory solution of the la
'or problem on this peninsula.
Mr.. WARREN DARBY is somewhat
n the dumps because handling ship 1
lmber has no money in it. The oak c,
rees have got past their prime, and IT
many of them have become dOzy or G
1orse than that, and so the labor of ia
utting and saving them is nearly all v
brown away. III former times this dI
abor was not lost, as the government D
ontractors in ship building could ,,
Ianage to work up such material; a.
nd old merchant vessels whose time q
nd fn ho wrvron1-aA - IL.
lOroughly repaired with dozy timber, Ia
nd good insurance had upon them, p1tc
efore they sailed for Davy's locker. b
Nevertheless Mr.. Darby has courage, p
nd does not cry over spilled milk. He co
as lately hauled 1900 loads ofearth, a.
a cost of ST cents load, to fill in a..
'ipple. Has saw mill working full I'll
me; has put in planer, and is pre-
airing to manufacture flooring. Pret- Sc
plucky for grumbling man. Pa
