| The 1itb inst. was the 18th anniversary OF
the Emancipation Proela nation issued by
Coy. Fletcher of Missouri. This proclama.
ton freed the 900 negroes who at that
time were held as slaves in the state. Speak
ing of the material progress OF the race in
| the state, and especially in St. Louis, since
| that time, the Globe Democrat reporter says
''the history of no nation in the world can
present anything to equal the moral, mental
and social progress of the people, who
twenty-five years ago were in bonuage.'
For the special accommodation Of the chill
dren of the $4,000 negroes who live in the
city of st. Louis there are now being main
tanned one high school and twelve district
schools, there are ninety teachers employed
to teach the schools, whose salaries run from
y TO SO day. At jefferson City the state
supports Lincoln Institute for the special
training of those who wish to teach. In the
line of churches may be found organizations
of every denomination, from small chapel,
whose seating capacity is not more than
20, to the metropolitan church whose seating
capacity is over 1000. Societies of every de-
scrIptlon are organized and supported by
the negroes of the state. In ST. Louis there
are two successful dentists and several law
yers. Among the tradesmen are to be found
men of every trade. 1t is said by good
authority that at least one thousand negroes
own their homes in the city. The tax books
of the city show that the negroes pay $685.
900 taxes. Other people may boast of
greater ancestry, other people may boast of
a higher state of civilization and of greater
in war, but what nation under the
canopy of heaven can show such progres
made in twenty-five years? At this rate of
progress if dollars, cents and sense are to do
it it will not be long before the negro prob
lem will solve itself. Let the negro alone
and ere long he will solve his own problem
and demonstrate his own theorems.
Rev. Voolfolk was in Ironton for several
days last week and conducted series Of

Notice to the Taxpayers of Iron Co.

All persons whose taxes remain unpaid
for the year 1889 must come forward and
pay the same IMMEDIATELY. If not paid at
once, you will compel me TO collect the same
by seizure and sale of property, which will
be unpleasant for me and expensive for you.
And to all persons whose real estate is de-
linquent one year or more prior to January
Ist, 1890: If you wish to avoid cost will come
in and pay the same at once, as l am going
delinquent property. 1t is my duty as Col
lector of Iron County to collect the taxes On
all property assessed, (either Current or
Back Taxes) and to this end will make an
effort. Please give this your immediate at
tention. Yours, truly,
;. T.. BUFCRD, Col. of Iron Co.

Owing to the unusually warm weather,
farmers are somewhat apprehensive of los
ing their pork.
The people of Goodland have enjoyed a
glorious revival which closed on the 29th
ultimo. the results of which were fifteen ac-
cessiOns to the church. Following are the
names of those who were baptized on last
Sabbath: Miss +. r. Love, james Brooks,
Belle Brooks, Mary Henson, Myra Eaton,
Martha Stricklin, Carolina Stricklin, Rena
Sumpter, y. J. Stricklin, Irwin Adams,
Frank Adams, George Adams, Matthew
Schrum, Mr.. and Mrs. Love. The church
has, in the above new members, force
which will, no doubt, accomplish great
and lasting good for the Master.

with fairly good results. The day was spent
in spelling, declaiming, etc. Following are

are few persons who appear to think that
married man cannot teach a successful
term of school. Let them think.
\ correspondent for the Post Dispatch
says that the farmers throughout Kansas
are making great efforts to secure union
of the Farmers Alliance and the Grange.
Well may they unite if they can by so doing
accomplish any good, for it is apparent that
they, to-day, are greater oppressed than
any other class of men under the blue cam
opy of heaven. Not long ago | was in town,
and while there noticed quite a number Of
farmers drive in loaded with corn; and be-
ing inclined TO see how things "run" made
note of their sales, etc. One man came into
town at dark, having driven thirty miles,
loaded with corn for which he received %
cents in trade" Among other things that
he purchased was a hat for which he was
forced 10 pay 8 90 or ten bushels of corn.
The hat did not cost the merchant more than
SI.25. OF course, merchants cannot live and
sell at cost; but it looks hard to see them
paw farmers starvation prices, and in turn
sell them goods at 100 per cent. profit. The
trouble is not so much with the tariff, as
with the middle man. But the tariff should
be remodeled.
We have just learned the sad intelligence
of the death of Mrs. III. Alcorn, Goodwater.

walks showed to the world that there is a
