thing by the old vets. On the 9th
of Aug. an old fashion barbecue
will be given, and to every south
erner nothing else need be said.
We trust that every old soldier in
the county may find it convenient
to attend. The hospitality of old

An effort on the part of Armour
& Co., to place negroes in their
plant at Chicago to take the places
of the striking butchers, brought
about the usual result. The train
on which the negroes were carried
to city was attacted by the strik-
ers and the darkies sought safety
on the floor between the seats.
Every effort On the part of the
corporations of the north who an
ploy large numbers of men, to
substitute black for white labor
results in disorder and frequently
in rioting. The laboring class
will not tolerate the negro in CON-
petition and resort to force to pre-
vent him from engaging in similar
work. The only place in this coun-
try where the negroes rights are
respected is in the south where he
is permitted to engage unmolested
in honest toll and enjoy the fruits
of his labors. The boosted love
by the north for the darkey is but
that hypocricy which springs from
a selfish purpose. Aside from the
negroes vote in behalf Of the re-
publican party the north is not in
fterested in the negro.

soon as sufficient means can be
secured to begin work aud it is
the purpose of the management OF
the institution to erect q COM
modious brick building. In order
to do this 1t will be necessary to
ask contributions from the public
which should be liberal and forth
coming. The home has always
been open to both jew and Gen.
tile of every creed and contribu-
tons should come from every
source. No claim could come near
er the heart and prompt its gener-

the fatherless and motherless. Let
everybody lend a helping hand

soon again throw open its doors to
wider charities than ever before.
