$Capitolian Advocate Nothing has
zen said or done concerning our public
chOols for many months past. There
ppears to be no interest manifested
q this subject. 1t seems quite strange
hat a city of this size should permit a
ear to pass without an effort to estab-
sh public school, but snch is the case.
here is but little interest manifested
v the parish board from the fact there
ave been no funds TO work with. Will
OF some public spirited citizen under-
IKE to raise funds for this purpose or
Dggest some plan by which we can
I've the benefit of a good public
ehoOl There are hundreds of chill
rem both white and colored who stand
] woeful need of such privileges.

people in this parish waste. He has

ID own use and it did not cost pound
cotton either. When all our far
lers adopt the course pursued by this
Iodel citizen and farmer we shall have
etter times and we can and will be the
lost independent people in the State.
Re have the material resources to make
s rich and powerful the only trouble

! to raise COTTON with which IN hnv
yerything they eat and wear. It is q

lie the weight of fat Morehouse pork
.. We congratulate those who have
lem to kill.
