IN THE SUNNY SOUTH.
In December, 1885, a man registered at a
hotel in Charleston, w. Va, as S. o. Crawford,
with two women, who, he said, were his sis
ters. He ieased a fine estate and went into
retirement for few months because, he said,
his health was bad. Early in 1886 he began
to go out in society, and charmed all who met
him. An extensive coal operator named
Dana was interested in large tract of tim
Der land Crawford offered to sell the land,
and went 10 New York for that purpose
When he returned TO Charleston he showed a
contract for its sale. Dana gave him money
to so to Washington and buy Off a man who
had an option on this land. On his return he
showed a receipt, Dana then gave him S, 000
TO go to Nebraska md buy an undivided in
terest in the land of a Mr.. Miller. That was
the last that was heard from him for some
time. 1t is needless TO say that the receipts
and the contract for sale were forged and
that Crawford had gobbled the cash.
Mr.. Dana Investigated and found that
Crawford had sister living at Dorchester,

Closing Of the Oolored School

The public school for colored
pupils of this district and town was
closed on Friday night. The re-
suits of the final examination prov
ed the industry of both pupils and
teachers.
The school cosed with an en-
rollment of 223 pupils, all of whom
underwent the final examination
which was under the official direc-
ton Of Supt. L. Bib.
There were I31 promotions, and
the years work has been happy
success.
1t appeared as If the colored pop
ulation was out to a man. The
exercises OF the evening consisted
of such as is usual on occasions OF
that kind.
The board of Mayor and Alder
men, the board of Education, and
the city Supt. were represented.
A sound practical talk was Civ
en- the audience by Mr.. Ewing, and
thinking ones appreciated the SEN
timent of Mr.. Ewings remarks.
There were at the opening of the
past school year, only six grades in
the school. The laborers of the
year resulted in making a seventh
grade.
There is NJ organized expression
on the part of the patrons, still,
it should be well remembered that
the considerable colored man OF
Pulaski fully appreciates every ad
vantage offered for the education OF
the youth of the community; and
above all things he is alive to that
sensible demand. QUoNDAM.

A Cats Strange Fancy.

Some time ago Russell Rice,
brother of Sheriff Rice, of Scott
cou nty, Indiana, cut down a large
poplar tree. In it he found nest
OF five young squirrels, which he
concluded to raise, aud acco' dinghy
took them home with him. Mrs.
Rice owDs an unusually fac, in
telligent cat, which manifested
great concern in the motherless
strangers. Naturally The family
thought hat she would kill and eat
the young squirrels, but on being
permitted to have one Of them she
showed so much motherly solicit
tude that the whole of them were
turned over to her and she took
care of them until recently when
the squirrels were turned loose in
the Scottsburg Park. While the
little gray nutcrackers remained in
her charge, the cat would PERMIT
no one but members of the family
to fondle with her adopted CHI ldren.
Since they wsre removed to the
park the cat has also taken up her
quarters there.

The farmers of the country are
learning the value of organization.
The great trouble with the farmers
has always been this want of har-
mony of purpose and concerted &C
ton. They have been lambs for all
the wolves of the country. They
are the most patient under long
continued wrong of all men in the
world. A few men with a plentiful
supply of money, no conscience and
a thorough organization have been
at all times able to prey upon them
with mpunity for the reason that
they have never met their enemies
with organized resistance They
are learning their weakness now
and striving hard TO remedy it.
Every honest newspaper, every low
er of fair play and every hater OF
robbery and oppression should
stand with them and by them to aid
with wise counsel and encourage
with hearty approval.-American.
