VERMONT MERlNo SHEEP-BREEDERsJ
ASSOCIATION.
PROCEEDINGS AT THE ANNUAL MEETING
ON WEDNESDAY.


The annual meeting of the Vermont
Merino Sheep-Breeders' association was
held at the town hall on Wednesday. 1t
was called to order at IL o'clock by the
president. Lyman w. Peet of Cornwall.
The number in attendance was about 30
the comparative smallness of the num-
Der being due very largely to the condi-
ton of the roads.
Secretary Albert Chapman of Middle
bury read his report, which was accepted
and adopted. 1t was as follows:
REPORT OF SECRETARY.
Eleven new members have been added
to our rolls during 1889; l6 have with
drawn, 33 have been dropped by order of
the committee on pedigrees, III have
been suspended, leaving us about l65
members less than we had one year ago.
Four hundred and twenty-seven have
sent in their lambs for 1899; 4lS have
paid their membership fees for 1889,
while 1872 have not yet paid the same the
past year. being delinquent to the amount
of 1921. OF those delinquent in the sum
of $3.50 one year ago, the association has
realized S201, or something more than
one-half.
The report of the auditors will show
the receipts the past year have been near
ly 500 more than for 1883, while the
cash paid out has been less, leaving over
$50 to be added to the cash in the treas
ury, making the amount S409.42. This
amount should be materially increased
before we are safe in yenturing to pub
lish another volume, or the members
should be willing to purchase them when
published, instead of each taking a copy
free.
According to estimates furnished by
our former publishers thousand copies
would cost about $1,000. if the same size
as our third volume. Whether the pub
lie are ready for and will appreciate an
other volume yet, is for the association to
determine.
The executive board have amended rule
% relating to the pedigrees of stock rams,
which is made to read as follows: Any
member may have the pedigree of stock
ram that has been previously recorded in
this Register recorded in the list of stock
rams by the payment of d fee of % cents,
or the pedigree of one not already re-
corded, if eligible for record under the
other rules of the association. on the pay
ment of fee of So, subject in each case
to the approval of the committee on ped
igrees."
Samuel James, for the auditors, sub
mitted their report, which was also ac-
cepted and adopted. 1t was;

WHAT are cur girls to do?- ?-Er.
"Not to wear themselves out in
the school rooms, nor to try to
grow up old maids, nor to always
kitchenize. They are to marry
good men as God ordained them
to do; cheer their husbands, learn
to stay at home and be content

Yes, and respect, love and con-
tent themselves with the men of
their own race and thereby raise
the standard thereof. The future
Of the race will be what the women
thereof choose to make it.
This is the kind Of doctrine that
should be proclaimed from every
pulpit, taught by every mother
and father, and practlced by all Of
our young women. Our young
men have something to do on this
line, too. When you marry a girl
treat her right and make her a

This year the Legislature will
elect y. S. Senator. Should the
democrats be successful in getting
the representatives from the First
and Second Districts of Greene
county it means the reelection of
Senator Vest, the "nigger-hating
senator" from Missouri. We
should see to it that republican
representatives are elected from
this county, as much depends
upon their election. Since we
know that democratic legislation
is adverse to the negroes interest
we should try the harder to elect
that party whose history in legis-
lation has ever been in our favor.
Vote for that party who will not
ignore your interest, and who will
legislate for your good. The ne
gro must be republican.

Col. Wade was With the Negroes
During the "Late War;"

It is on record, and many are
aware Of the fact that Col. Wade
was with the negroes during the
'late war; and commanded a regi-
ment Of colored soldiers. He was
a brave and fearless Colonel and
treated his men as soldiers, and
not as slaves or "contrabands.
His history throughout is one Of
kindness and loyalty to the cause
and friendship to the colored man.
And not only during the 'war" is
this true Of him, but even when in
business in this city he was also
found to be a true and firm friend
to the black man; and after being
elected to congress he has more
fully demonstrated this fact, and
for these reasons the negroes will
support him again.
The American Negro., 1890-10-25

The colored voters Of Greene
county, together with the w-4ite's,
should understand that the cleo
tion Of a county court means the
election Of set of men whose duty
it is to manage the county's af-
fairs and disburse her money. And
the men who are elected as judges
should be men Of ability, expert
ence and Judgment. The duties
Of the county court are varied and
numerous. The republican nomi-
ness for this position are men who
we believe will make a good court
and deal out rounded justice to all,
both white and black. Let every
voter do his duty on the 4th Of
November and give the county a
new republican court that the citi-
zens will be proud Of.
