MACOMB, I'LL.

The Leap Year festival given by
the ladies Of the A. nj. E. church
on Jan. % capped the climax Of
anything that was ever given III
Macomb. The tables were stretch
ed the entire length Of the church,
covered with snow white table
cloths. The silverware and fine
china dishes cleaned and glittered
in the lamp light, and the min
Cling Of flowers in pots strewn
along the tables, sending out their
fragrance, made an impression
that was simply overwhelming.
The ladies came out in their best
attire and the variegated colors Of
their costumes intermingling with
each other made a bouquet that
beggars description. Hamilton
Mayo was in his glory, and he and
his bearer pranced like a filly.
Rev. Gordon wore his sweetest
smile and his lady escort paid him
strict attention. The ladies were
not short in the least, and treated
the gentlemen to cream until they
fairly beloved; in fact they held
their backs and actually refused.
r. Sloan has not been able to get
out to church since. James John
son said that If a dead man could
smell the odor Of the turkeys he
would rise up and go to eating.
Sister Pitts painted like a lizzard
in August, but she wouldn't give
up; she has got the grit and the
staying qualities. Mrs. Gordon
and Mrs, Mayo and several others
actually curled their hair. S24.35
was taken in at the door. Every
thing was a grand success and
will long be remembered.
Mrs. Hamilton Mayo received a
dispatch Monday calling her to
the bedside Of her sister at Mon
mouth, who is very i'll.
A protracted meeting is in pro-
gress at the Second Baptist
church. May God bless their ef-
forts. TATTLER.

CHARLES NOTES.

We are living in fast age; an
age of steam and electricity. In
America, a country of very mixed
population, with the best govern
ment in the world; government
for, Of and by the people. We are
a race, black, not because we made
ourselves so. We are despised,
rejected, classed and almost dis
franchised and not because Of some
thing we did, but because we were
captured, enslaved, degraded and
humiliated by others. From slav-
cry we have been released, and the
right Of franchise given us; but the
humiliation in which $50 years of
slavery and degrading morals have
placed us, seems prone in us, and
for which to-day we are stumb-
ling block to civilization and a
troublesome burden to the govern
ment to which we belong.
In % years Of freedom and fran
chise, we have made rapid strides
Of progress; such strides that have
made the world marvel and for
which history gives no parallel.
But who should wonder, when we
have had 50 many white-faced, good
patterns to copy after, that we had
made double the progress.
All admit that we are capable of
a very high civilization, as high in
deed as our white brethren; but
some say that being a different peo-
pie we must therefore cultivate a
different civilization; that we can
not advance along III the same
groove with the white man. But
to me it appears that after $50
years Of constant association and
am lgamationwith the white peo-
pie, scarcely any traces Of the ma
tive African can be seen in the
NegrO-American, whose ancestors
for three or four generations back
were Of American birth. Truly we
are more like white people than we
are like Africans. Certainly there
is no other method, no other way
to advance, except along in the
same groove with those whom we
have been so long allied and so
closely related. Why, then, should
white men envy us and withhold
the protection Of the law from US;
the law is intended to reach the
remotest citizen, why not the black
est one, too?

Mr.. Hardie Williams, whose fine
team was killed by an Q. \ nj
engine few weeks ago, has secured
another team, which is conceded
by all to be the finest in the city
They are full brothers, 4 and ]
years Of age, being part French
Percheron and Clydesdale. Mr
Williams has not yet received 4
cent from the 0. & M railway,
but it is hoped that the company
will soon settle with him for the
killing Of his valuable team, be-
cause it was clearly proven it was
their fault.
