George Kendrick, Jr., of Philadel-

Mr.. Stein about twenty-five years
ago, who is now dead. He does not
know how Stein became in posses

he is willing to give it to the Mount

GUSTS Lee is no more entitled to it
than any other descendant of. Martha

suited an attorney, but it is not yet

cover the valuable relic. 1t should

The colored people OF Wilmington,

the Democrats to restrict their right
to vote. Rev. Montrose Thornton,
who claims to be divinely directed
to do so, has called meeting OF the
colored people at his church to enter
a solemn protest, and take stand
and, il necessary, to die for their

seem that il the colored people would
try to prepare themselves for the
ballot as vigorously as they talk OF
resisting the restriction, they would
find less trouble and less expense.

The wagon bridge across the Arkansas

by The high water. A number Of Tie
supports (piling) under the bridge were
washed out on Sunday and some sections
Of The bridge are sunken and bent out Of

condemned the bridge on Monday and
stopped travel over 1t until repairs can
be made. It Is understood that The

Sunday afternoon a large crowd Of
people were gathered at the wagon
bridge and the Rock Island railroad

bridge would be swept away. There
were eight feet Of water In the river and
the banks In places overfowed. A re.
