Ere another issue of our paper in
accordance with established custom
and pursuant to the proclamation of
the President of the United States
and the Governors of the various
states. the citizens of this great COM
monwealth will celebrate Thanksgiv-
ing according to their several ideas
and of some of the few things that
the Negro should be thankful CD we
will enumerate few:
First. We should be thankful CD
for Ben Tillman, Gov. Vardeman. Sen
ator Morgan and few others of their
ilk, together with their doctrines of
the determination of the Negro. the
formation of a white mans party. etc.
Second. We should be thankful (D
that our President believes that in
the case of the Negro, it is better that
ninety-nine innocent should suffer
rather than one guilty one should es-
cape.
Third. We should be thankful (D
that in the Southern state a Negro
accused or suspected of crime should
be lvnched without the semblance OF
a trial or chance to establish his in
nocence.
Fourth. While all these things are
so. we should really be thankful that
these are exceptions rather than the
rule and that the condition OF the Ne
gro in the United States is steadily
improving.

hive It," said the worthy minister in
concllintory strain: you shall have n
perfectly new sermon next Sunday"
Accordingly the church was fuller than
usual md n thrill of satisfaction ran
round when the text was announced
in these words:s And the cup was
