Main street from east ard west and
Springer street from north to
south, direct to the city boundary
lines to be the dividing lines. It
is believed this division of the town
will meet the hearty pproval Of

show the party the mines, explain

A Correctiou.


1t last Thursdays ARDMoRErTE
we Inadvertently gave the. name
of Marshal Hammer in connection
with an interview which appeared
in the Kansas City Journal, regard
ing the importing of liquer into
the Indian Territory and the South
ern district being a rendezvous
for gam 5lers. We desire to thor
orghly exonerate Captain Hammer
from having any connection with
the article, which should have been
credited to Deputy Marshal Harper.
In connection with this, it might
be interesting to know that Deputy
Harper denounces the article as
spurious and affims that he gave
no such interview. All tie other
members of the guard assert their
innocence in the premises, there
fore we infer it was dream the
reporter to the Kansas City Jour
nal had and wrote the article as q
stern reality.

OF THE NEGRO IS ONE OF THE PROBLEMS OF
 THE AGE.
THE COLORED INDUSTRIAL
Institute is Doing Much in Edueat- ing the Negro.-Fine Teachers
 Employed.

The proper education of the regrU is one of the problems of the age. That no citizen of the United States should be left to the darkness Of mental ignorance is no longer de- bated. While knowledge of itself is not panieea for all evils, an educa- tlon adapted to the circumstances of people is certainly the most prom isiEg remedy that can be used mong rational beings. An industrial edu- cation under the guidance of worthy teachers and directed by men who have the confidence of the commun- ity in which they live will do more than anything else to impress the negro with right ideas of life. The- negro race has been left too much to themselves in the matter of school and church and the result is any thing but satisfactory.
 The Colored Itdustrial Institute which made it's entry into the world in q small way about ten years ago, is destined to do an important work in the elevation of the colored race. 1t is proceeding on the lines above indicated and year by year Is demon strating the correctness of it's course
 A eolored girl who becomes a pupib at the Institute is expected to do what a white girl of similar age would do i'll respect to morality and study. The standard of morality recognized ooghont the world i& placed pefore her eyes Owing to

When Frank Reeves, the smooth first-baseman for the Pine City team, stepped up to the plate to bat in the third inning Thursday afternoon. he knocked a vicious '9inern through the foul line and hit Chester, the smal1 son of Mr. Ben Beard, squarely in the mouth. The little fellow soon regained himself and was carried to another part of the field, where his wound was bathed with ice-water and everything done to ease the pain. His mouth was badly cut and swollen and lied profusely. The little fellow bore his mishap with much courage.

the home life of many eolored peIpIe and their lax religious ideas, 1t is hot always an easy task to insist on such standard. We have been assured by the directors of this school that the moral training of the pupils is an essential ature.
 Next to morality comes industry The nepro does not know how to work Many negro women are em ployed as cooks, but how many are considered to be worth to th6sks- employer ten dollars u month? Cooking and housekeeping are care fully taught. The equipments in this department are not equalled in the, State
 Sewing and dressmaking are inn portant fea lures in home life. We are informed that colored girls who went to the Institute without know itg the use of needle and thread are now doing the family sewing.
 Music, instrumental and vocal, are taught. In the literary branches, besides those usual to schools, are forehand drawing and bookkeeping.
 The teachers of the school are Sisters of Charity. the best teachers in the world. The Board of Direc tors is composed of the most promi- nent citizens of the eOunty-W. B. Alexander. Mayor of Pine Bluff: w. D. Jones, County and Probate Judge; J. Nj. Lucey, J M. Oracle, s. VI. Taylor. Wiley Jones and FerG Havis. It is to be remembered tbA9 a school of this character cannot ba maintained except at 8 large outlay of money. It needs and should re- ceive the sympathy and encourage ment of the best people of both races.
