a great many very prominent colored peo-
pie in the South, who have risen from
slavery to places of position and trust.
Among the more prominent is DR.. Il. a.
Scruggs of Raleigh, y. c. He is physi-
clan who has done a great deal for his
people. His chief effort was the establish
ment of a sanitat,um at Southern Pines,
n. c., where invalid colored people may
have comfortable quarters and proper
medical attention. The Doctor has re-
ceived considerable assistance from peo-
pie throughout the North especially in
connection with the Sanitarium. the Pick
fords of Massachusetts contributed large
~ to the establishment of the institution,
and it bears the name of that prominent
Massa chusetts family. We have very fav-
orabe reports about the institution and
DR.. Scruggs, from the many visitors from
this section who have gone to Southern
Pines during the past two winters. South
ern Pines is located on the Seaboard Air

ST., Boston. The s. A. L. makes close
connection with the Merchants and Miners
steamers and we advise you to go from
Boston via the Merchants and Miners
Steamers.
