There was an old negro woman
in town Saturday named Dolly

best he has ever seen after being in
a majority of the states, and that
their lands are worth 5000 per acre
and are not to be compared to ours
in fertility. Socially and morally
he Ecomplimented US highly. He

surplus lands would be sold at re-
munerative prices and our prosper
ity increased 100 fold. We extend
to Mr. Kast a very hearty welcome.

At the south 90 per cent. of the
colored and 80 per cent. of the
white population are unable to
read and write. Surely this is a
state of things that ought to be
remedied. As a remedy let the
constitution be amended so ''that
on and after the year 1890 no per-
son not before eligible shall be per-
mitted to vote at any election in
any state or territory in the United
States who shall be unable, when
asked to do so by the officers
of the polling place, to
write his name and read the laws
of his country in English, or his
own native tongue"
