SLOWLY COMING TO THE LIGHT
 Now and then there are some in the North who get a new thought concern ing the South and it's great problem how to deal with the negro of to-day They make discovery and are sur prised The New York Evangelist, in the discussion in the General Assembly about the colored people and how to reach them with the Gospel came upon a fact never seen before. It says:
 "In estimating the relations of the colored race to our natural Well-being one fact has yet been hardly noticed. It is of vital importance, and is this: The generation now coming to manhood has never had the uplifting, humanizing and enlightening, Christ ianizing of master and mistress and the old planta- tion life. That, in spite of their un fortunate possibilities these influences were general and to a very high degree beneficent admits of no question What the negroes have lost in losing them is clear to everyone who knew the South before emancipation. It is clear to everyone who contrasts the elder negroes with the younger ones to-day.
 LII SldNeTy llilltS lIlt llGSlOCS clo h body were protected, instructed, uplift- ed and Christanized. In many sections i've we'll know the great change. Who wrought that change? Now that we are dealing with difficulties and perils that we feel most sorely, why not have patience with us in the South and give us sympathy and confidence! The people of the South are as just and generous and Christian toward the colored people as they were in slavery times. There are ruffians, and men who under the most terrific provocation lose their self-control and commit 1ynching atrocities which are criminal and vastly injurious to themselves, their homes and their own people. But these are the exception. And the great body of the white people wish to be Kindly and helpful to the colored race. The intelligent people of the North are slowly coming to the light as to all this n1atter-The Central Presbyterian Richmond, Va

BUSINESS OR HOME GIRL,
ONE HAS 4 LARGER CIRCLE OF
 FRIENDS
And the Other is Apt to be Easier to
 PIense-schooI Incident.


 PIense-schooI Incident.
 As a rule the business girl has far larger circle of acquaintances, and in consequence makes many more friends than her stay-at-home sister. Seven marriages out of ten are the result of propinquity, and many a lifelong part nership has resulted from two people meeting continually in business It may be some months before they realize all that these meetings mean, for Cupid is sometimes very chary in his love- making It is seldom the man girl sees only occasionally that she marries but the man whom she sees continually day by day. Love steals into her heart unawares, and one day she wakes up to the fact that the man whom she has looked upon for so long as a friend has become part of her life, and that she cannot live without him. But this, of course, applies both to the stay-at- home and to the business girl The knowledge that she had her own work to do in the world gives to the business girl feeling of independence, which makes her better able to hold her own than the stay-at-hone girl, who, in the majority of cases, is entirely dependent upon her parents.
 But although independence is good thing in itself, it is sometimes just a little apt to make business girl shade too particular in her choice, Of husband. The possession of little money of her own makes her ambitious for more, and instead of being content to commence at the bottom of the lad- der, as her parents did before her, she wants to start life at the top. Among the men with whom her daily life brings her in contact there may per haps be one who is anxious to win her for his wife, but he is only just begin ming life, so she turns deaf ear to his protestations of affections, confident in knowledge that she is independent and can afford to wait Her life is full Of interest and the world is before her, so why should she be in a hurry? The stay-at-home sister, on the other hand, finds her days very empty, and time hangs heavily on her hands. If lover comes her way she is only too glad to welcome him. Even if he is not exactly her ideal he will at least be able to re- lieve the monotony and give her some thing to think about.
 X Whether she be in business or wheth- CT her duties and responsibilities be at home, it is the sympathetic, sweet-na- tured girl that man generally chooses for his wife. And although the busl- ness girl may perhaps have more op- portunities of meeting men than her stay-at- home sister, it rests with woman herself to make or mar her own happiness.- Inquirer.

W. P. GEENE HURT.
Sustained Painful Injuries by Fall
From A Bridge.

From A Bridge.
W. F. Greene, one of the editors
OF The Fulton Commercial, was
painfully and probably seriously
hurt by a fall Saturday night. He
was on his way home about $50
o'clock and went by the rear of
Farmers buggy store, near cut
home. AS he assembled the bridge
across Harris Fork creek, it being
dark, he ventured too near the
edge and fell off, about 10 feet. He
was badly shaken up and several
gashes cut on his face. 1t was
necessary to take several stitches
in cash over his eye. He is re-
ported to be resting we'll to-
day.-Fulton Leader.

PASSENGER COLLISION.
Bad Wreck at Fulton last saturda

Bad Wreck at Fulton last Saturday
One man was badly bruised an6
an engine and two coaches demol
ished in wreck in Fulton at 5.3'
o'clock Saturday morning.
The accident occurred just NORTH
of the passenger station and was
caused by the switch being thrown
to a spur that leads to Knights de-
pot restaurant.
Engineer Nourse was in charge
of engine No. 935 pulling the fast
passenger train No. 1O3 into Full.
ton from Chicago. The train was
running at moderate rate of speed
and entered the spur before de-
tected by the engineer, and it was
too late to stop his engine. The
engine collided with a switch en-
CINE No. 74S which was with sew
eral coaches in the siding awaiting
the arrival of the passenger. The
switch engine is complete wreck
and how the engineer and fireman
who were on duty escaped alive is
nothing less than miracle. Jim
Boaz was the engineer and Her
man Walker the fireman, both of
Fulton. Mr.. Walker was the only
one severely hurt. His ankle was
sprained and several cuts were
made on his face. He was badly
shaken up and had to be driven
home in a carriage. Mr.. Boaz
was slightly bruised and it is said
that an express messenger was hurt
but no report of his injury was
made.
Conductor Hugh Palmer was in
charge of train No. 1O3 and he was
thrown fiat on his back in his car,
but only sustained few bruises.
The passengers were severely
shaken but not hurt. Many were
thrown from their seats and confu-
sion reigned. Engine No. 935 at
tached to the passenger escaped
injury with the exception of dis
abled "cowcatcher." The head
light was not even broken. Engi-
neer Nourse remained with his en-
CINE and was not hurt. A mail
car was overturned and badly
wrecked. Several cars were on
the spur near Knights restaurant
and the collision showed a mail car
through the north end of the res
taurant, smashing in the entire
side causing much damage to the
building. A stove was in the
north end and it was hurled over
to the far end of the building and
fire strewn everywhere. The
building caught fire but officer
Eaker and Mr.. Lewis, one of the
clerks, extinguished it before it
made any Roadway. 1t is said that
Ed Roach, one of Knights clerks,
was standing near the north end
when the car was showed in and he
jumped over two counters and es-
capped miraculously from serious
injury. The wreck being on a
siding did not delay traffic but a
short while.

and said bright idea be not al
lowed to expand and flouris
meath the genial rays that a littl
encouragement, or a few cheerful
and sympathetic smiles from th
older heads SO easily throw aroun'
them, then who can wonder if thos,
radiant faces begin to wear /,
"Lost Cause" expression; or |
little pout begins to show itself
when the dimples were won't te

Thus it was last Thanksgiving
that, the idea having been
originated among the Senior Glass
to organize Basket Ball Team,
and having convinced their parents
that it was necessary to the COM
plete success of their ''last year
at school," they then charged on
Supt. Darrah to convince him of
the legality of their claim, and
secure himself and wife for chap
erones. So at half past seven
o'clock they had all gathered at
the New Public School, where
they found everything to their
perfect satisfaction. The gymna-
SUM was as warm as summer, and
lighted by two large swinging
lamps. The baskets were up in
place, and the team was organized
without an incident worth men.
tioning; but twas suddenly dis
covered that we had no coach,
and not knowing exactly which
one of the boys was best &C
quainted with the game, we in
vited eleven to come up and help
start the ball to rolling.
We knew it required eleven
girls to fill all the positions in
Basket Ball, and as we knew very
little else about it, we invited the
same number of boys, thinking
that perhaps each girl might
need special coach"
The Janitor, thinking that
Basket Ball had to be played by
tune, (maybe rag time) had rolled
the piano back to the little bal
cony in the gymnasium, SO in
order not to disregard SO oblig-
ing a spirit, we INDUCED in a

rapid rate, until some one, in
up, espied the jolly face

meant something good to eat.
Then, quite miraculously, every

Well, the beautiful ices and
