Rued the Bargain.

Belleville, ILL.,, Feb. 3.-A very strange
matrimonial alliance was brought to
light through testimony in the divorce
case of Mary Jackson against William
Jackson, tried in the Circuit Court here
yesterday. The plaintiff was but four
teen years of age when she was married
to defendant, who is past thirty, in East
St. Louis two years ago.
She is white and the man is black.
Her mother forced her to marry Jackson.
the latter Offering to pay off mort
gage of $500 on house the woman
owned She was literally sold for
cash, and Jackson evidently looked upon
her as an investment, as he took her to
St. Louis and forced her into life of
shame in the lowest dives.
This was shown in evidence given be-
fore Judge Vail, who tried the case with
out jury. The divorce was granted.

Jones, in reply to an article in the State
capital:
''Surely something must be wrong
when in town like Pine Bluff, Ark,
there is no teacher bearing other than a
third grade certificate except the princi-
pal of the school,"
The wrong is that the above statement
is a whopper. Pine Bluff prides herself
on being an educational center with a
corps of teachers not surpassed in the
South. Her educational institutions for
Colored youth are.
I. The Branch Normal College
with many acres of ground, three
brick buildings, 1000 volumes in
the library and fine outfit of apparatus.
All of the teachers are graduates and
have held first class and life certificates
for years.
II. Richard Allen Institute (Pres-
byterian) has fine building and
grounds and corps of te achers, graduate
of Ann Arbor and other Northern institu-
lions.
