Editor Gazette:
We are now enjoying everything
Of the season, such as spring lamb
With mint sauce. broiled chicken,
cream sauce, and strawberries, and
sometimes wish for your presence to
look upon the humble pencil pusher
while he feasts. but alas! you are
not by my side.
By the way, l noticed in the Free
man few days 81 zee q letter from
the pen Of one Of Decatur's citizens,
Or. w. E. Sterrs, in reply to a let
ter from one Mr.. Toomes, of Farm
inpton, Iowa, on the Southern Me-
xro as to unity among them. Also
in reference to the Negro and white,
females marrying in the North, and
speaking of the class of females that
marry Negro men there. While l
am no advocate Of such marrying,
vet We must all admit that what
may be pleasant to one often is very
disagreeable to another, and | think
ii the Doctor does not fancy such re-
lations for himself, he should not
object in such hard terms to anoth-
er's carrying out their fancy be-
cause you will admit that one OF the
greatest boast we make for our
9 untry is that this is the Gland OF
the free and homes of the brave and
in such land We must let everyone
he free to act to suit themselves,
provided they do not interfere or
hurt another, and are brave enough
tc grin and endure it. Then in the
same letter l notice he makes much
reference to the tonsorial artist, ne
terms them a. the "Royal Knights
cf the Razor" and also one he rea
iers to the "Tray Chasing Associa-
tion," as leaving their sisters and
daughters to exc out their existence
ss best they can. | deny that all
the men OF either Of the above occu-
pations leave their sisters and daugh-
tels to do 30, as while few men of
those professions can boast Of COL
]ege education yet many OF them
lave proved themselves as worthy
citizens as many who have won the
M. G. or M. D. to their names. 1t
is true tho Negro South is not just
rs united As he might be. Yet time,
let US hope, will improve that fault,
ind if he by the Iowa gentleman
having said as much let us be true,
lknightly Southern gentlemen and
rot use harsh and improper Ian.
1 uage to express our feelings, re-
nembering that our sisters, daugh h
ters, and wives sometimes read the
freeman.
Iagree with the Doctor that we
ecnnot all be BARRIERS, bootblacks,
aud walters. But if such happen:
TO be ones calling in life, try to be.
come a perfect artist in either, and
promise you that no where North,
South, East or West, will the Irish
girl, white man, or boy supplant
you, as the demand for the Negro
gentleman and lady in all parts Of
the globe, is steadily and every day
creasing to take the places Of the
Irish and Dago help.
We are having . commencement
Of . revival at the old ship church,
and Rev. Rodgers is truly in earn
est.
We are looking forward for a
asweet marriage" very soon, and the
young lady lives on Plank street
near the Presbyterian Church. She
is great fayorite here and will
make one Of these lovely brides.
You know they all look lovely when
brides.
