Herbert Wright and wife were in the city
Sunday. Herbert is an old time fayorlte IN
this city. He is young, ambition ana
hard student; he practices law in Mar
shall county and will, in all probability,
be elected justice of the peace very soon.
His wife is charming young lady AND IS
member Of the highly esteemed Conner

the Corners during our experience as
printers devil" on the Cedar Rapids Re
publican. ISIS Wright's sister is attend
ing Wherefore college and will graduate

S. l.. Mash is contemplating going to
Chicago for the purpose of practicing law
there, We have known Sam for the past
ten years. He was at the beginning o.
that time pupil in the public schools,
regular attendant at Sunday school ano
president of literary society When he
was admitted to the bar in this county
there was not white or black man who
had brighter future. His natural ability
merit higher place at the bar than the
every day lawyer occupied.
A strange thing has happened IN tht
state Of Kentucky. That state now has
Republican governor and he has recently
offered reward of $500 for the convic
ton of the parties who shot man ant
burned up house in which there was
| woman. The woman's charred remains
| were found in the debris. We desire t.
call the attention OF Negro Democrats t.
the fact of reward being offered in {
state which has been the home OF lyncheri
and where they have more than ones
burned human beings at the stake withou
let or hindrances.
