mons, Maggie Boyd. Cora AM
brister; Frank Hannum, Oscar
Kennedy and Paris Fagg, were
among those who made up the
party. They expressed themselves
as delighted with the trip and the
enhancing scenery, which they

The Freedman Normal Institute
will open August list. 1t is to be
hoped that every family will try
to fulfill their duty to their off
spring by insisting upon constant
attendance of their children to
their classes. The teachers, whose
time to them is money, must needs
be encouraged in their work. The
future of our race rest upon the
young; our children must, there
fore, be trained morally, spiritually
and Intellectually, because these
quantities are absolutely necessary
to insure success. We can help
solve the great race problem, which
is being agitated in the public
mind, by giving our children a
thorough, complete and practice
education; and there are no better
advantages offered to obtain such
an education than these which
we now enjoy in Maryville.

Mr.. Editur:-
Having been the
recipient of two or three copies oil
your very interesting paper, I wish
through its colnmns, to thank Mr.
J. ID. Paul most kindly for the pc
sition he takes against what il
known as a "cake walk" There il
nothing in such craze of an ele
waiting nature for race, which il
struggling against odds to STAND
erect like men and women in the
country in which we live. Youl
denunciation of all such vulgarity
has the right ring. hope you will bt
able to accomplish the end to which
you alluded; to train for a more
worthy and respectable citizenship
assisted by our many white friends
all over the South.
Old Virginia made q bold star,
last month by the apprehension and
conviction Of six men, leaders of a
mob, and sent them to The state
prison for a number of years, 8
very light sentance, but the first in
the history of the state and which
no doubt will have good effect or
others making the attempt.
Mr.. E. T. Butler returned home
