Predicts Bright Future.

DR.. E. w. hampton Of Greenville, Miss,
the newly elected secretary of the financial
department, made a short address, in which
he predicted a bright future for the negro
in the south. He said that while the negro
is passing through a critical period in his
life, he sees light ahead. He spoke of the
negroes in Mississippi who were buying
the land, raising cotton and corn and edu-
eating their children and opening bank ac
counts. All this to him means something for
the future of the race.
Rev. w. f. Dangerfield also made an adj
dress He comes from Vicksburg, Miss.
Bishop Levi ]. Coppin spoke Of Bethel In
stitute in South Africa, which was not
large enough to accommodate the students
who are striving to become enlightened and
do something for the uplifting and better
ment of mankind.

BUSINESS CONCLUDED
FINANCIAL BOARD OF A. n. E.
CHURCH ADJoURNs SINE DIE.
Closing Address by Bishop Arnett and
Others-Notes Of Race
Progress.

The financial board Of the African Metho-
dist Episcopal Church held only short
| session, routine business only being trans
! acted. and the board adjourned sine die.
Bishop w. B. Arnett, in calling the board
to order in the financial department at 9
| o'clock this morning delivered a short ad-
dress. He spoke Of the time when he was
elected financial secretary in 1880, the in
come Of the department being then about
$4,000 annually, and because it is now more
than $4,000 per annum he regarded the
exhibit as the evidence Of commercial prog
ress Of the race, and said the negro wants
it understood by all that he was striving
to do for himself.
1T is wonderful what we are doing with
the nickels and dimes which come in to US
from our people every week. We are going
to lift our people to higher standard by
giving them religion for the heart, educa-
ton for the head and money for the
pocket" he continued, land when we do
that you will find change in our condi-
ton. do not believe that the negro's color
is against him. but it is ignorance-either
he is ignorant himself or the ether man is
too ignorant to appreciate him.
Elevation of Women.
Another important thing we must teach
our people to do, and that is to respect the
women of the race. No race can rise above
ltS women. we must protect our HotneTS,
our wives, our daughters and our sisters
make them equal to all women in point of
character and intellect and instead of hav-
ing them answer advertisements of nos
trums to bleach the face or straighten the
hair. let them devote their whole time and
energy under our protection in bleaching
their character and keeping it straight AS
a race We are in need of men and women"
Bishop Arnett concluded his address by
speaking in words of praise of America,
saying it was the home Of the negro and
here he must stay if he expects to be any
thing in this world. He paid high COM
plment to the President of the United
States.

!. The German emperor wears this in
strument for about twenty minutes each
morning, after the hair has been carefully
washed, oiled, and combed. When it is
time to remove the binder the hairs are
found spread out fiat against the imperial
face, ready to be curle d by the irons.
Almost every hair Is curled separately to
obtain that bushy effect which is revealed
in the kaiser's photos, and this lengthy
process has often to be carried out, two
or three times a day, according to the
particular functions which his majesty has
to attend.
OF course, Herr IIaby accompanies the
emperor wherever he goes, and not only
has obtained for him the lasting friend
ship Of the most versatile Of monarchs.
and there are few men in the German
court who are more sought after by off,
Gals Of every description, for the nature
of his employment gives him more oppor-
tunities of mentioning his friends to the
emperor than any other court official.
To-day Herr Haby Is a wealthy man,
and proudly wears the German Cross Of
Jerusalem, the Russian st. Stanislaus
Order, thu Knights Cross Of the Hessian
Philips Order, the Bavarian Silver Medal
Of Merit, and the Turkish Nisham Med

Richland county is rightfully named. I

hCHld1lO county is rlSnT1ully named. Ii
is the veritable garden spot Of the north
West--rich fertile and productive. No bet
ter farming land is to be found in the
world and no land, so productive as this,
is so cheap and easy to care for. ~,
While North Dakota has never been
regarded as a corn growing state, official
statistics show that for the past ten years
the corn crop of the state has been even
more profitable, acre for acre, than the
wheat crop has been. This assertion ap-
plying to the state at, large, is peculiarly
applicable to Richland county, for this is
the best corn county n the state.
Along with a constant increase in the
area OF corn is a corresponding growth In
the stock and dairy industries. Hundreds
of new settlers have been coming in dur
ms the past two years. and most of them
are from regions where stock raising Is
the basis of prosperity. They are bring
ing their methods with them, and the re-
suit will be a system of farming like that
OF Iowa, Illinois and southern Minnesota.
There is no possibility Of any permanent
decline in the value Of farming land in this
region. In the first place there is no bet
ter soil. In the second place Richland
county lies in a moist belt. In the third
place the prosperity of this region is such
that 1t Is becoming a great money center
These conditions insure a dense and grow
ing population. The proximity torDuluth
and Minneapolis make Rich1and county a
splendid market. There are good railroad
facilities, splendid invigorating climate
plenty of schoolhouses and places of wor-
ship. In fact. more ideal farming and
business country cannot be found.
