WE must combine our interests
and stand by each other. While
other nations are uniting and grow
ing stronger, we are dividing and
- short time will grow weaker.
Io succeed, the Negro must unite
his forces and become educated.
Our civilization, ideas, intellectual
abilities and our manly and woman
ly principles can only be passed
On to those who are to succeed us
by the means Of education. The
young men and women Of to day,
hold in their hands the destiny of
the Negroes Of the coming gener-
ations. We are now passing
through crisis but when this is
passed, we shall either fail or sue
ceed. And | firmly believe we
shall succeed. Our hopes, never
theless, is not 50 great as to blind
Us to the dangers BY which we are
now threatened. We should lay
aside our religious and political
prejudice and work for one aim in
life and that aim should be for the
promotion Of Justice and brother
hood. Inspire and elevate the
members Of our race into a know
ledge Of their duties and response
bilities as true men and true wo-
men; labor for true and honorable
principles; Inspire one another
with the aspirations Of true man
hood and pure womanhood; I'm
press upon our men their duty as
a son, husband, father and citizen:
womans duty as & daughter, wife
and mother.

 It is reported that the big dredger does not work well. as it is designed to do deep heavy work, but not to en- counter rocks or heavy gravel. The depth that the shovel is forced to is the cause, as gravel and such matter is en- countsred aud for which the machine is not intended. To the resistance of gravel also, it ia further stated, the power of the machine is not equal. This makes some think that the pom derous labor-saving steam monster will be failure, and that the hand of man and the beast of burden will have to be called in to complete the work. Both can he had in this section. The small dredger works like charm.
