HAS THE COURAGE OF HIS CONVICTIONS

Mr.. Ct. G. Hinton wss appointed
by the republican county central
committee as one of tie ward
workers for the 9th ward at the
past election, but on receiving the
instructions of the committee, he
refused TO serve. The instructions
were that no man would be paid
for the days work unless he voted
the straight republican, ticket, and
here Mr.. Hinton took exception.
He was against Henry q. Hertz, for
State Treasurer, and had the manly
courage to so inform the secretary
of the committee, and willingly de-
clined to work. A number OF other
colored men were present at the
time, but because few dollars
were at st ke, not one OF them
would admit that they were going
to scratch their ticket. We mus'
congratulate Mr.. Hinton for being
n man who has the interest OF the
race at heart, and will not sacrifice
his principle for few dollars

LINES TO THE wANDERER

'Tis sad indeed so far away
From those so loved, from those SO dear,
With dark forbodings who can say
How things unspoken breed thee fear
Yelled is thy neart as is a face,
Pressed back, the briny drops that start,
Struggling to show accustomed grace
While strained to bursting is the heart
But be thou brave, be strong and show
That all is centered not in now;
That like Roman thou the blow
Canst calmly take with placid brow.
The tear drops start, the heart gives way
The nerves and oil the frame unstrung;
These show us under feshy sway,
Some christians other songs have sung.
If dark and drear the way doth seem
There yet is hope, the night must end.
Then hope Wanderer, catch some CLEAN, :
One thinks thee good thy God and friend
Dark, dark indeed may seem the way,
, But all he doth shall prove him right,
He'll turn thy darkness into day;
Yes, make thy gloomiest hours light.
Then be thou strong, confde in Him,
And what is best will come to pass
Rise thou above the common din,
Nor weep, nof grieve. nor cry alas
