Miss Lugenia E. Bell, of
Forrest City, spent last week
at this place visiting friends.
We hope she will soon come
to see us again, as she is so
entertaining and bears such
high marks of intelligence.
p. E., J. Jones, held his
quarter at Goodwin on the
4th and Sunday night preach
ed at Wheatley. His text
was in Prov. w chap. and
portion of the 7th verse,
"Wisdom is the principle
thing" His sermon was log.
ical and full of the Holy
Ghost fire. The church was
crowded. After preaching,
he gave a short lecture on the
subject of Union. The
people were more than glad
to hear the new P. f. We
pray God that the day will
come when our pulpits every
where will be filled with such
men as Rev. j. Jones.

Our Affections.

Our once shackled limbs,

dued spirits, have all fed and

effects in dark regions of his
ruin gone, retreating before
a brighter dawn. He is grad.

line, and beginning to under
stand, think and act for him.
self. While quite a number
are making a successful liv.
ing, the idiotic idea advan.
ced by a few brainless num-
skulls, saying that the negro
race is inferior, is fading
away like mist before the
glowing sun. The negro may
be a mere pigmy now, but
just give him a fair showing,
an equal opportunity, and he
will prove a giant in the bat.

ing, sowing and reaping on
the grand highway of pro.
gress. Therefore, these con.
siderations bring along with
them new and trying respon.
sibilities, demanding greater
efforts to obtain education
and property, that we may
fall in the train of life's joy.
This is the age of farms and
machinery, not of who is the
whitest, blacklist, or who is
master by birth or color, but
who is the man that meets
the demands of the bour.
Notwithstanding, we have
made some headway in spite
of unfavorable circumstances
we must look up, aim higher
and save the earnings of our
labor. Ny advice is, widen
your fields, train your sons
and daughters up in school
and useful employments at
home, for remember the ne.

to solve and it must be solved
right here in the land of his
captivity. What remains for
us to do ia to struggle on, de.

battle of life, remembering
that every one of us that gets
up in the world makes it eas.

one that helped you. And
let us all, white and colored,
remember that our lots are
cast in one and the same
country and the same

flowing with Joy in every
vein, one faith, one hope, one

Thinking that you would
like to hear from us in this
part of the country, | thought
l would drop you a few items.
We are all highly pleased

you much success.

Mr.. Editor, l wish to give
you a little touch up as to one
of the main obstacles in the
way of the improvement of
the negro race-the use of
whiskey and other intoxicat.
ing liquor. Not that they
drink more than white peo.
pie, for they drink much less,
but owing to their condition,
it takes from their hard earn.
ings, which they need so
much for themselves and
their families. 1t is alarming
to think of the amount OF
money spent right here at
home for whiskey. And what
makes it so bad, Mr., Editor,
is. l venture to say, that
many of our ladies are
given to drinking intoxicat.
ing liquor, to say nothing of
the men. l desire to see all
of my race owning homes, no
matter how humble, and own.
ing sufficient property to
make them comfortable. This
is all that is needed to make
any reasonable man, white or
black, happy; for happiness
consists not in the abundance
of things we possess. Educa'
ton and all other improve.
ments will follow. There is
no man or boy who works
steadily, keeps away from
the dram shop and saves a
portion of their earnings
ever fails to do well, and to
be respected and to grow in
prosperity. Those who visit
dramshops, mingle with bad
associates and waste what
they make, will have a differ.
ent fate. Unfortunately,
there are some of us used in
election as instruments of
corruption and bribery, and
after the election Is over they
are left to the consequence
Of their own conduct, with.
out any sympathy or assist.
ance from those who employ.
ed them in this disreputable
business.
Now dear brother in black,
put shoes on your feet, girdle
up thy loins, helmet on your
head and let us rise in our
might and down the hydra
headed monster (liquor) in
the name of your wives,
daughters, sons and for
