A MISSISSIPPI LEADER.

Hon. Isaiah T. Montgomery, Missis-
sippi's foremost citizen of color, until
recently Receiver of Public Moneys for
the State of Mississippi, is busily en-
gagged at his home, Mound Bayou, the
prosperous town founded by him some
fifteen years ago, where he is person
ally conducting his private business,
perhaps the largest operated by any
colored man in the South. Besides this
work, which taxes Mr.. Montgomery to
the utmost, although reinforced by his
secretary and his brother, VIM. T.
Montgomery, and three heads of de-
partments, he carries on a large CORES
pondence. Those who seek real
knowledge of the race in Mississippi
never fail to approach Mr.. Montgom-
cry who is equally anxious to give
them truthful data of the race.-Ex.

WHY IS NEWSPAPER LIKE
WOMAN.

One bright friend came in the other
day with what he thought was a conun-
drum. why is a newspaper like a
woman?"
The various answers were:
Because both have to be known to
be appreciated
Because it has to have some one to
run it."
Because both are good advertising
mediums
Because both have to be pressed" !"
Because it sometimes changes it's
dress and tells tales"
The correct answer is: Because
every man should have one of his own
and not be running around after his
neighbors. Asher Alturist-

COL. JOHN R. MARSHALL HON
ORED.

One of the most prominent fetes held
during the past week was the preser-
tation of picture of Col. Marshall to
him by Col. Frank o. Lowden last
Saturday night at the Appomattox
Club. The presentation speech made
by Col. Lowden was one of the most
unique and mastery efforts. Major F.
a. Dennison responded in a most befit-
ting speech.
The audience was composed of most
of the officers of the Eighth Regiment
in full uniform and some Of Chicago's
best citizens. We can say this of Col.
Marshall, that being the only man Of
his race in this country who holds the
great honor of Colonel of an out and
out colored regiment, who went to
Cuba and did duty, he is one of the
most unassuming men in this country.
The affair was equal to any state af-
fair, long to be remembered.-Ex.

WORK; DO SOMETHING!

''How dear to my heart is the good
of my people" Sung to an old tune
these words should be much more pop
ular to-day than they are. What a
grand thing it is to be able to sing such
words with sincerity and truth But
the mere words are not enough even
though conscientiously uttered. AS
Brother e. E. Cooper of The Colored
American puts it, There is but one
royal path to the great highway
work Do somethingi" If those who
are in the ranks of the people who
are competent to engage in the great
work of a second Emancipation Of the
Negro, would utilize their talents in
stead of burying them or hiding their
light under a bushel, and work for
their people in a higher and better
way than an endeavor for the enrich
ment of self, the progress of the black
race towards such an emancipation
would be even more pronounced than
it has been during the past forty years.
We do not mean that every person of
average intelligence should jump up
on a pedestal of his own construction
and proclaim himself race leader"
Leadership should be something won
by work instead of something appro-
priated because of condition. And
who does not believe the old struism
that labor conquers all things-Colum-
bus Standard.
