authorized in behalf of Mrs. Bush
to thank the little unknown fingers
and generous unknown hearts (for
she believes it was the work of her
dear little friends) who placed this
little token of love there for her,

them as the emblems of their pur-

GREETED" BY A FULL HOUSE
Dixie Jubilee Singers Show to Well
Pleased Audience.

Notice of the Dixie Jubilee Con.
cert given here December was
omitted last week. We did this for
a purpose for we figured that some
who might have been intending to
attend the Canadian Concert OH the
18th and not knowing there were to
be two troupes here would read
the account of the Dixies and think
ing there were to be no more would
miss the Canadians.
The Dixies appeared at the NJ. E.
Church Thursday eve and gave Elk.
ira splendid entertainment, not
withdrawing the fact that Madam
Buckner the soprano, had been
belfast with a severe sickness only
three days before. The Dixies al
ways give an entertainment that
pleases and if Extra was an excep-
ton it is only in the matter of being
pleased than ORDINARILY. Encores
for every mem Der of the organiza-
ton were frequent and numerous,
and the almost unbrohen applause
of the hearers showed very we'll that
their efforts were being fully appre-
GATED. From their opening num-
Der which was rousing Jubilee
song to the close of the program the
house was filled to the very corners
with blending melodies that are
loved SO we'll by the human ear.
The concluding number was
beautiful anthem which rounded
out nicely one of the best jubilee
concerts Extra has ever had. The
DiXtes made good"-in fact they
made awful good and everyone
wentaway glad that they had been
there. The management was ex-
tremely we'll pleased with the house
that greeted this number and right
here wants to thank the friends as
well as all those in attendance for
the generous support accorded.

An Chic Town VIM Not Harbor a We
gro Over Night.

In Syracuse, Ohio. on the Ohio -iv-I
er, a town of about 1900 in~habitantsll
no negro is permitted to live, not event
TO stay ver night under any consii-l
GRAFTON. This IS an absolute ruie inl
this year 1905, and Ii has existed for
several generations. The enforce
ment of this unwritten law is in the
hands of the boys from u TO 20 years
Of age, while the attempt Of a negro
to become a resident Of the town Isl
resisted by the residents en- massc.
When a negro Is seen in town DUR
ing the day he is generally told OIL
these traditions, If he is so ignorant
as not to know OF them already. and
Is warned to leave before sundown.|
If he fails to take heed he is sur
rounded al about the time that dark
ness begins, and is addressed by the
leaders of the gang in about this an
guage:
mo niger is allowed to stay inl
this town over night. Get u of mere
now, aad get quick"
He sees from rs to 90 boys around
him talking iE subdued voices and
waiting to see whether he obeys. III
he hesitates little stones begin to|
reach him from unseen quarters, and
soon persuade him to begin his hegira
He is not allowed to walk, but is told
to get on his little dog trot." The
command is always effective, for it isl
backed by stores in the ready hands
Of boys none too friendly.
So long as he keeps up a good gait
the crowd, which follows just at his
heels and which keeps growing until
1t sometimes numbers 70 to 100 boys
is good natured and contents Itself
with yelling, laughing and hurting
gibes ct its victim. But let him stop
his "trot" for one moment, from any
whatever, and the stones imIne-
diately take effect as their chief per-
suader. Thus they follow him to the
farthest limits of the town. where they
send him on, while they return to the
city with triumph and tell their faith
ers all about the function-how fast
the victim ran, how scared he was,
how he pleaded and promised that he
would go and never return if they
would only leave him alone.
Then the fathers tell how they used
to do the same thing, and thus the
heroes of two wars spend the rest OF
the evening by the old campfire, re-
counting their several campaigns.
The cause of this extraordinary
rae prejudice is hard to discern. 'rhe
majority of the inhabitants are not
from the south. but, strange to say,
are of New England stock.
Since the town was founded, abuu.
1915, not a single negro family mas
lived in it. About the year 1855 two
negroes were employed as domestlcs
by a family in the extreme lower end
of the town, practically in the coun-
try, but they did not stay long. Since
the Civil war two attempts have been|
made by negro families to settle in the
town, but both families were summari
~ driven out.-Exchange.

IF your honor please, we have five
