Gently passed the Senate, and only
awaits the signature of our distin-
guished Chief Executive.
A meeting was held at Mt. Olive
to protest against the Bill. Rev. R.

denouncing the measure most vehe-
mently, which seems TO be direct
blow of the colored man. A stroug
petition was drafted and sent to the
Governor
A large two story dwelling in our
village which has been occupied by
Mrs. Sallie Gray and children was
totally destroyed by fire Friday. No
insurance. The fire had made such
headway before it was discovered
that only few things could be got
ten out.
On last third Sunday Rev. E. +.
Jefferson preached wonderful SER

alarm and cry aloud in no uncertain
tones in the defense of your people.

There was an honest fellow,
Called Jacob Brown, they say,
Who loved little maiden
Whose name was Annie Gray.
In all the loving accents,
That lovers tongue can speak;
He invited her te marry him,
Some seven times week.
AT laSt Sne mao g Lnls answer,
And shook her curly pate;
Indeed, cannot have you, Sir,
You are so out of date.
The most successful fellows,
What I tell you Sir, is true,
Are all true Pilot readers,
And it never comes to you.

When the agent comes around,
And follow its instruction;
Then will be "Mrs." Brown.
