Sencous and cOncordant.
Mrs. Gillespie had placed Miss
koepplc in charge as hostess, who
produced program new in its en-
tirety.
Miss Allie Spindle, in her artless
way, played an instrumental piece
which was truly artistic; while AL
verta Moss and Eta McWane, of
Miss Alhro's pupils, did them
selves much credit.
The first song was the "Snow
Flake" sung with grace and sweet
ness by Miss Mamie Fudge. Miss
Jessie O'KeefIc sang the "Maiden's
Song" while her instructress, Miss
Coe, made everybody happy by
her lovely singing "One Morning
so Early"

STICK TO YOUR BUSINESS.

A man in San Antonio undertook
to build a house a few days ago
without the cost ofan architect. The
floor loaded down with brick and
morter fell from the second story
on nine men that were working be-
low.
Such is life. 3Ien who undertake
something that they know nothing
about generally make a failure.
They may start off briskly, appear to
be going up all right, but the super
structure is not well fonded and
their work comes tumbling down
and as in this case to the injury of
those below. ThheJ do not build
wisely Or well. This would-be ar
chitect was timer and could no
doubt put the roof on his house in
substantial manner, but he would go
out of his line and without having
the experience of the architect tried
to usurp his business, but what a
failure. He has not only lost
money in the foolish effort, but en-,
tailed upon several families the r.
repailable loss of its provider II
you expect to follow any business
and make a success of it, it is better
to start at the bottom and learn it
thoroughly. Be content with little
things at first and work up at first,
and by the time you have worked
up to the state Of proficiency that
renders you capable of becoming
your own architect whether it is of
a house, fortune or character, you
will know too much to over load
your scaffolds or your second floor,
and to start your building except
upon a firm foundation.

THE POLITICAL SIGNIFICANCE OF
EMANCIPATION.


Friday was the 26th anniversary
of emancipation day and the colored
people ali over the South celebrated
as they usually do, and when the
returns are all in, they will show
that in great many instances, the
orator of the day worked in some
buncombe about being under obi
cations to the Republican party for
their freedom. This is an errone-
GUS impression, though entertained
by majority of the colored people
throughout the South who go on
voting against their friends and for
the Republican political tricksters
who preach this idea into them for
the sole purpose of gaining their
votes.
The emancipation proclamation
was military necessity, and was is
sued not so much to help the col
ored people as to hurt the enemy.
You were made free by the exigen-
cies of the war, and your freedom a
part of the strategy by which the
South was disabled and forced re-
luctantly to terms against which
she rebelled. Mr.. Lincoln is &C.
credited with saying distinctly that
if he could end the rebellion with
out emancipating the slaves he
would do it. He delayed proclaim
ing your freedom for months, hop
ing he might not be compelled to
grant it, and when as a last resort
he saw that he could not end the
war or win the victory without it he
then issued the emancipation you
read with so much pride and pomp
of circumstances last Friday from
the rostrum in every village hamlet
in the South where there were as
any of your race. It is
well for the colored people to re-
ioice at their freedom discuss their
progress since they have had it, but
they are standing in their own
light with eyes turned from the
open pages of history when their
gratitude for freedom is expressed |
at the polls in votes for the republi-
can party They gladly accept the
votes and the Offices and with only
IN occasional political bone thrown
The colored man keep on deluding
hin with the idea that he is still
indebted to them for his freedom,
which if he ever had been-an adj
mission not borne out by history
lie has more than repaid them and
;hould begin to look around him for
light Oh the subject of which party
S most friendly to him.

THE JEFFERSON DAVIS MoNUo1Es

Thursday, June is, has been
fixed on by the Southern Press As.
ISOLATION and approved and indorsed
by Gen. J. B. Gordon, of the United
Confederate Veterans, as the day
for the people of the South to meet
at the most convenient places in
their respective towns and counties
to consider plans for raising money
for a suitable monument to Jeffer-
son Davis.
The proposition has been received
with favor throughout the South,
and steps have been taken in most
of the States and cities to hold these
meetings and make a general and
enthusiastic response to the efforts
to fifty commemorate the life and
deeds of the Confederacy's only
President.
Nothing so far, has been said or
done to indicate that Brennan is
making any preparations whatever
to respond to this call for aid 10

of the Southern Chieftain. Bren-
ham is usually very liberal and
should at least contribute some
