pears to be more plentiful than ever before.
Its influence is felt by many and seen by
everybody. There is no means of accounting
for what it does 10 different people. There is
young man in this section on whom its
effects are both visable and audible every Sat-

they are slow to act.
A son and daughter of Mr.. John G. Hal

made is to bring up the race issue. An in

The colored people are aroused over it as they
deem their voting privilege great boon.
