people and they held forth. At one
O'Clock train from Atlanta brought
fourteen coaches of negroes, one negro
military company, and they imme-
diately marched to the National ceme-

Our people deeply sympathise with
Mr.. Walter l.. Sessions in his recent
failure in business. The people have
,, confidence in his honesty and integrity
and believe that he is willing to meet
every obligation if he had the means.
! He does not owe great deal and has
some assets. His misfortune is one
that is liable to overtake any man. We
trust that he will get on his feet again
in the business world. He is young
man and will no doubt retrieve his
losses. Pluck and energy and trust in
God will accomplish wonders.
