EXODUS OF TIE NEGRO,
Memphis CommerciaIl

Memphis Commercial
The steamer Alice made two trlps
TO Mound City yesterday, trans
porting the negro emigrants bound
lOr Oklahoma across the river.
mere left Yesterday for that dis.
tant land ffiy-fve wagons with $50
negroes, seventy-five horses and a
countless horde of dogs, ranging in
size from small bull pup to an
unSlghtly huge yellow cur.
mere Was a motley crowd on the
ieVee during the day, negroes from
lar and near coming to witness the
exodus. The ferryboat had been
chartered for the day, and on each
OF her trips she was we'll freighted.
Men, women and little children,
most OF them "totinn some article
OF household furniture, crowded on
10 the boat, while here and there a
cur yelped from under the feet of
the emigrants. Wagons, much
alter the pattern Of those used in
the days OF 40, were piled up on
the deck, while the dogs were sent
ait without any attempt at assort-
ment.
The exodus of the negroes from
Memphis Is under the supervision
OF Il. III. Waterford, general agent
of the Central Oklahoma Emigra-
ton society, and L. NJ. Harlln,
president Of the society. Waters
ford has been doing most of the
exhorting. He gets a commission
from the railroad company for
every emlgrant he sends by rail,
and probably receive about 81 per
successful exhort. Yesterday there
were 250 negroes, mostly women,
who started to the territory By rail.
The men go overland with the
horses and wagons.
The Memphis negroes set out
from Mound City for the west about
g O'Clock last night, waiting until
the entire party had crossed On the
boat. A high wind was blowing
during the day, making the river
choppy and delaying the start. At
wy Ark, a party of 400 more
is to join this crowd, and the march
to the promised land continue.
The roads are bad fifty miles back
from the river, but after that the
journey will not be so full of hard
ships. The emigrant train will
pass through Fort Smith, and the
leaders expect to reach Langston
City in about thirty days. About
May rs the Cheyenne and Arapa-
hoe reservations are to be opened
up by the government, and pros
pective farms in this region are
offered as emigration bats. There
is already large negro colony at
LaDgstOn City. but recent reports

MY IDEAL MAN.

He is physically strong, morally brave,
and possesses mental and spiritual as
pirations. He has the courage of his
convictions; is outspoken, straight-for-
ward, manly and noble in all the affairs
of life
He is firm and unyielding where con-
science counsels in that direction, but
"penetrable to kind entreaties" when
not called upon to uphold principal by
| rigid firmness. He is not stranger to
the sweet amenities of home and social
life; he is kind and forbearing, and does
not strive for selfish prominence orag-
grandizement among his fellow men.
There is largeness in his tolerance and
pity for the morally weak and incapa-
BILE, but his heart burns with fiery in
dignation against the tyrant hypocrite
and usurper who would trample under
foot the rights and privileges of his less
fortunate brother.
He never makes use of tobacco,
opium Or strong drink, nor does he con-
slider himself at liberty to practice any
other form of physical deflement. He
has pleasant, cheerful disposition,
never allowing himself to become fret
full, irritable or sullen. Although he
has temper, he is able to control it.
He can see the force of both sides of
a proposition, and takes time for the
just consideration Of each; but when
convinced of the superior logic of either,
his attitude to that which opposes is
like that of Fitz James to Roderick Dhu
and his followers:
"Come one Come all! This rock shall fly
From its firm base, as soon as | :"
He is active and energetic in business.
He does not undervalue the worth and
potency Of ''the almighty dollar" and
strives zealously to accumulate means,
believing that monetary competency
gives opportunity for great accomplish
ments, to be realized in no other way.
His heart is as tender as his mind is
clear. He can love
'To the depth and breadth and height
His soul can reach, when feeling out of sight
For the end of Being and ideal Grace"
Also
''To the level of every days
Most quiet need by sun and candle light"
His love is like staff for the heart
of his beloved to lean upon,
''The strongest, on the longest day
His goodness has no touch Of pusil-
lanimity, his fortitude is free from fool
hardness, and his benignity is utterly
devoid of weakness. Like Sir Galahad's,
"His strength is as the strength of ten,
Because his heart is pure"
He believes in God the Father AL
mighty, and is living, every day for the
life everlasting.

PROSPEROUS TWIN CITIES.
Two Cities at the Other End of Wood
County That Have Bright Future.

A representative of the News accom-
panied the merry excursionists to the
twin cities, last Sunday week, and
through the hospitality of Hon. Thos.
Z. Nash was afforded an opportunity,
for the first time, to visit the leading in
dustries, view the magnificent water
power and admire the beautiful homes
of those two cities.
To anyone who has never taken a
drive up and down the river and
through the residence portion of Grand
Rapids and Centralia, the towns leave
an impression decidedly misleading. In
point of fact here are two cities of al
most unlimited possibilities. The manu-
featuring industries are rapidly being
added to and there is an awakening of
latent enterprise and true American
push in everyone that will give en-
couragement and assistance to anything
that will add to it industries or better
the condition of the two towns.
Handsome homes adorn each city,
equal in elegance and size to those seen
in much larger places. The grounds
about the homes are large and spacious
and there are many we'll kept lawns
which are plentifully studded with far
reaching shade trees, impressing the
visitor with feeling of envy for such
ideal spots of comfort and unpre-
tentious elegance. A number of hand
some new residences are being built
along the high banks of the mighty
Wisconsin, and it is estimated that there
are fully eighty new dwellings under
process of construction in the two cities,
and that there will probably be $50
built this year.
The Wisconsin river furnishes water
power that it would be difficult to excel
anywhere. Manufacturing enterprises
will eventually line the banks for miles
up and down the river. The indus
tries already established in these cities
are varied, prominent among which are
paper and pulp mills, Touring mills of
large capacity, and two new furniture
factories. All are doing lucrative
business. There has been an awaken
ing from long state of lethargy and
there is no danger of relapse. The
News wishes the lusty twin at the other
end of the county continuation Of
deserving prosperity. --Marshfield News.

Too nuch Married.

Mr.. David Whitmorc, sheriff, of Fond
du Lac county, was in our city the fore
part of the week on a peculiar errand.
1t appears that one Eddie Nance 10
year old boy of Brandon, Wis, who
was forced to marry certain young
lady whom he got into trouble, twenty
four hours after married another girl
Miss May Cole, of the same place and
came to this city last Thursday. Hav-
ing an acquaintance in the town of
Grand Rapids the young people repaired
to that place where they were arrested.
The sheriff accompanied them back to
Brandon where the young man will
probably learn the penalty of having
too many wives.
