Colored Brother and RaiIroad

Walter Williams, OF the Columbia
Herald, has observed that the colored
friends and brethren in Missouri have
a strong preference for living near
railroad tracks. Houses, he says,
trent for more to negroes in small
towns when they are situated at OF
near the railroad station. The colored
man and brother likes to see the en-
gine wheels go round. In the number
OF the colored population Of the six
Wabash counties were judged by the
panoramic view presented from the
window it would be thought that the
blacks outnumbered the whites. This
fiction was once firmly believed re-
garding Columbia by mapy persons
in the State. 1t was doubtless cir
culated by some individual who only
saw the Wabash, Missouri, Kansas q
Texas stations and the regions Of
residences near thereunto."
