The Washington bee., 1886-11-13
SOUTH WASHINGTON.

1ne night schools at the Randall,
aud the colored Industrial School
OF trades at 4th ST., and Va. Ave.
s.w. are advances of progress in
South Washington.
Notwithstanding, the approach
OF winter, Third street improve
ment is being pushed to compile
ton.
There was never a time in the
history of South Washington,
when so many handsome two story,
flve'and six room houses were built
as are being built now for $40, S12,
and SIG monthly.
The debate at the Israel G. M. E.
Literary on Monday evening last,
was full Of lively interest. The dis
cussions were ably handled, and
each speaker, acted as though he
had come with fifty preparations
for the purpose.
While the BEE would suggest
that stubborn facts which are ir-
resistible were presented through
that truth which make men free,
both by the speaker on color line
under the head of observation, and
unsettled question, yet, it would
recommend all parties to look be-
yond complexion for character.
There is a general disappOint-
ment in this community on ac-
count Of the sudden change in the
arrangement for the free night
schools which were to have been
held in the Randall Building, in
, stead of the Lincoln.
The musical and Literary enter
tainment at the st. Paul A. M. e..
church Sth ST., in the interest of
the Cato Ward monument fund,
was grand success on Thursday
evening last. Among the most
, brilliant of the evening was Miss
Ella V. Campbell, who championed
all debates.
