agreement being that A. should take the
horses from b. at separate times. A.
came twice and took an animal each
time and then concluded he had enough
and so did not take the remaining two.
Now MIR. Is. is kicking because he has the

says A. will take the horses If he has to
go to law about it. The next thing we
expect to see will be some farmer sueinn

The Public Calls Them Out.

The Jubilee Songsters of Bethlehem
who have won such fame among the
lovers of spiritual singing Will open up
the season at the 9Th Mt. Zion Baptist
Church, Monday eve, Feb. %. They are
too well known to need any comment,
as it is known that they are the best
scriptural songsters in the South and
the best Scriptural rhymers that the
South has produced. We think that
the people Of Richmond should take
interest in these young men and pa
tronize them literally. We notice that
in the North and West when they find
that there is band of singers who are
trying TO make mark for themselves
and bring credit to the city from which
they came, the public tries TO help and
encourage them. We believe that If
the people of Richmond would do that
with these songsters it would be ben
eft 60 both parties. They are as fol-
lows: James H. Binford, leader David
c.. Cottren, Whit B. AIosby, James NJ.

FREDERICK DOUGLASS, the great color
ed orator and statesman, died suddenly
Wednesday, 10Th inst, at 7 P. NJ. of
heart disease. He was in excellent
health up to that time, and his sudden
demise was wholly unexpected. He
was unquestionably the best known
colored man in the world.
He was born in Tuckahoe, near Eas-
tern Talbot, Co. Nd, in February 1917,
and was accordingly 7s years Of age.
He was one Of the greatest Anti
slavery leaders, and it was due to his
fervid and unpassioned oratory that
the sentiment against the crowning in
fanny of the age was formed.
He had lectured in Europe and the
British Isles.
He often referred to the time he was
under indictment for participating in
the John Brown raid in 1859, a requisi-
ton being made by Gov. Wise upon
the Government of Michigan.
In.1s71, he was appointed assistant
Secretary TO the commission TO San
Domingo.
He was appointed on the Territorial
Council of the District of Columbia.
In 1872, he was elected presidential
elector-at-large for the state of New
York, and was appointed to carry the
ELECTORAL vote of the state to Washing
ton.
In 1875, he was appointed U. S. Mar
shall for the District of Columbia.
In 1881, he was appointed Recorder
of Deeds of the District of Columbia.
He was appointed by President Har-
rison, Minister Plenipotentiary to Haiti
AT the time of his death, he was liv-
ing in retirement at Cedar Hill Cot
tage, Anacostia, d. G.

15s Poor People Helped.

At meeting held at the residence
Of Mrs. A. Hill, Jan. oath, the Commit
tee of the Mission Room decided as
they had so little money in their treas
ury, they would not open the room as
formally, but would distribute supplies
each week in different parts of the city.
According to this plan, they met at
the Fourth Baptist Church, Feb 9th
when supplies were given to sixty
seven (67) sick and helpless ones of the
eastern part of the city, viz Rockets
and Church Hill Some families were
in a very destitute condition.
Last Wednesday committee met at
the Sixth Mt. Zion Baptist Church and
gave supplies to Sc poor and sick per-
sons in the central portion of the city.
Committee had name and number OF
street and those who could not send to
the church for the packages some
friends carried them to them. In this
way many were helped. Mrs. A. D.
Price sent % or 80 his. Of -four and Mr.
Price very kindly offered to do any
hauling the poor we're unable to pay
for, such as wood and coal. The com
mittee would be very glad of any do
nations of Hour, meat, sugar, etc. They
met on Thursday of this week at River
View Baptist Church and will help the
Western part of the city.
