agriculture and its kindred pursuits
offer the supreme opportunity TO the
Negro. His past training a1d enSir-

successful occupation and cultivation
of mother earth. This is truly the
live of least resistance; God and the

them; they harbOr no prejudice; they
are the Negro'S best friends.
We believe that it is to the best in
tsrest of the commonwealth that the
white people secure 10 the Negro IN
the country, especially, such protect

excuse for Negroes f1OCklng to the cl -

negroes to remain in the woods and

Mountain Lake, n. j., has been the

The cause of the trouble was an old
violin in the hands of a young man,
who fiddled himself into the heart of a
16-year-old girl and charmed her away
from home.
When Mrs. Emma Almond. a widow
of Mountain Lake, .awoke on Saturday
