ErnDloyment of ColOred Clerks,

The members of the Union League lis
tened to a sermon Sunday night by Rev.
DR.. S. B. Wallace, the pastor of Israel NJ
E. Church. He spoke of the object of the
organization, which is endeavoring to Sc
ored people. He referred to the objec ZION
which, he said, was advanced by business
firms against the employment of coiored
clerks, which was that if they employed
colored clerks the colored people would
say that they were employed to wait on
them because the white clerks were too
good to perform that duty. lie said that
the colored people ought to answer this
at once by joining the league, and if then
Colored men We're not given employment
the next step would be to open stores of
their own and patronize merchants of their
race.

by devastating tornadoes. Billiards seem to
arise out OF the caves and canons Of the

rise above the barriers and sweep the Middle
