the party and, shoes in hand, started
over the fields toward home.
And the lady and gentleman were
coming nearer. We could hear their
voices now: and there was little girl,

feet and skirts tucked up.

"Quick." whispered Laura. Let's
get in under the bridge and stand there
till they pass over. They can't see us
at all that way"
What a happy thought!
We only just gained the shelter of the
bridge as the party came out from the
trees. Kitty and Minnie, innocent Of
being grown up, and regarding bare
feet solely as delightful privilege,
were still trying to catch fish with will

they went. 1t was hard work to make
Freddie understand that he must be

change in gold for IA one-pound Bank of

piled that the Cavan bank only cashed
its own notes. "Then would We gle me
Gavan notes for these?" asked the

The Egyptian government recently
employed Prof. George Forbes to exam
inc the celebrated cataracts of the Nile

Prof. Forbes reports that during high

First Cataract is no less than 5OO,OaO

COLORED CIRCLES.
A Department Devoted to the
Doings of the
Race.
THE CHURCHES And SOCIETIES.
What is Transporting Among the COlOred
People in and Around
Brunswick.
THE CHURCHES AND SOCIETIES.

1t will be noticed that yesterday
morning there appeared on this page
of THE TIMES a department devoted
to the news of the colored people,
which from that date onward will ap-
pear daily for their especial benefit.
Now, this Is a concession not made
before in this CITY to the people of
color, which they VIII do we'll to ap-
preciate by giving to the paper thus
making the concession their hearty
and unbiased support and approval.
Where there are two races living in
a single civil community, the further
thus affordiDg an improper knowl-
edge by each of what the other is do
ing for the moral, economic and ma
rerial growth of that community, the
wider and deeper will be the gulf of
antipathy between them, which. as a
matter of fact, results in serious dis
advantage to the race which happens
to be the weaker in material and in
tellectual strength.
Therefore, this Is move on the part
of him who is in charge of this de-
partment, and who ever holds the in
terest of his people in serious thought,
to bring before the other race OF our
city and the world what the better
element of our people in Brunswick
are doing for themselves and the
progress Of the town of which they
are citizens, as proof that there are
those among US engaged in pursuits
other than figuring in the courts and
lounging upon the common ways, and
in this way secure for ourselves a bet
ter appreciation and friendlier feel
ing. 1t is earnestly hoped that the
people of color Will fully appreciate
the Importance of this movement and
give it their support.
We are fully assured that the man
agement of this psper is in full SYM
pathy with every right and immunity
of the colored people, and will at no
time fail to accord hem.
