The negro novel on Wilmington by
Charles w. Chestnut. and published by
Houghton. Mifflin & Co, IF Boston. is
briefly reviewed in The Bookman for
January. 1t is not particularly latter-
ing to the vanity of the author. Ches-
mutt is a negro who loves to hate the
whites in the south and to malign them.
The Bookman a. in part:
HE loves h race which is in part
his own. and he idealizes 1t whenever
he can. There is much to criticise in
The Marrow of Tradition, but somehow
the pathos of it all makes one a little
blind to its faults. There is an i'm
mense amount of dramatic material IN
the book. but Mr.. Chestnut has not
moulded it as effectively as he might
have done. Almost all the white per-
sonages of the book have very black
SOULS. They destroy wills, thereby de-
priving the blacks of their rights. They
hamper them in their progress. The!
do not give them any chance at all
The book is undoubtedly an e~xaggera-
ton. as Uncle Toms Cabin was an ex-
~aggeration."
1t does not stop at ex~aggeration. as
we showed from extracts from a notice
of the Charlotte Presbyterian stand
ard. 1t is a book of false
hood and SANDER and malice. "The
Bookman" is too candid to "laud AMI

While some negroes write novels

We read a long notice of the death
of Hon. James w. Reid, eldest son of
the late eloquent gifted and most
worth Rev. DR.. Numa F. Reid, but we
knew nothing of the particulars. He
died at Lewiston, Idaho, on the LIST of
January. He was a gentleman of de-
cided ability, served one term in the
congress from North Corolina, became
much embarrassed and lost cast, re-
moved to his distant and new home,
recovered himself fully, we believe, led
a prominent influential, honorable life,
died in peace and went to theChristian's
home. The Lewiston Qdaho) Tribune
of the End instant had a column and a
half article upon the departed North
Carolinian. We can make room but
for a few sentences: James w. Reid is
dead. With the soft sweet repose of a
child entering the sleep of the
evening, the cultured gentleman, the
great lawyer and orator has passed
away. His death came yesterday
morning, n throughout Idaho friends |
will mourn today. 1t is good that men

One Of the greatest foes with which
every family has to contend is our
changeable climate. To protect the
family from colds and coughs is always
a serious problem, and often impossible.
Sooner or later it is the inevitable fate
of every one to catch cold. Care in
avoiding exposure and the use of proper
clothing will protect from the frequency
and perhaps the severity of colds, but
with the greatest of precautions they
will come. This is a settled fact of
human experience.
Especially is this true during the
stormy and unsettled weather of early
winter. Everybody must expect to be
caught somewhere or somehow.
