Longs Sons, which appears in this
issue. Their great annual clearing
sale, the biggest event of the year, is
now in progress and many rare bar,
gains are offered. These events are
annually looked forward to by many
who wish to obtain a supply of frs.
class merchandise for future events.
The price cutter has done his work to
perfection, and it may truthfuly be
said that dollar will now go further
than two dollars on ordinary occasions.
Their stock is massive one, COM
posed of high grade merchandise, and
the firm intends to move it quickly to
make room for their Spring stocks.
All goods will be delivered free Of

burg, which has heretofore telt very
little of the hard times is now getting
its share of it. But if people who know
the least about the running OF things

Chauncey Depew, in speech at a
meeting of railroad men, said if our
own Sunny South was across the
ocean, inhabited by the same people
that live in it now, steamship COM
panies would have to build additional
ships to carry people, who from curl
osity would travel across an ocean to
view the interesting sights to be seen.
The South is too close to our homes
to interest us. No more truthful
words were ever spoken. Thousands
of Americans know nothing of the
home life, the industrial pursuits, the
lives of the sable sons OF southland,
who as slaves and freedmen form
large part of the population of the
former slave states. the happiest and
most improvident race of people in
the world. Their cheerfulness and
good humor has carried them through
all the vlcissitudes of changing for
tunes; their tractibility and kindness
Of disposition has endeared them to
all people that have lived among them;
their history has not been written-all
that is known of them is the carica-
lures that have been palmed off as
truth. Darkest America, the attrac-
ton at'the Grand Opera House, Fri
day evening, Jan. IS, is the title of a
stage spectacle that aims to present
the home life of the negro as it was in
slavery and is in freedom, from plan
tation to palace. A large company of
genuine southern negroes enact the
different characters. Mr.. and Mrs.
Sam Lucas head the company; many
interesting specialtes are introduced.
The whole entertainment is refined
and elevating, See the Big Parade
