Decatur News Letter.

Decatur I'll. Aug. l On Tues
day evening of last week class
no. 3, of Antioch Baptist Church
gave an entertainment at. True
Reformers Hall. A very good
program was prepared with a
lecture by Rev. E. Hall of
Bloomington as the principal.
Owing, however, to the late
gathering and the length of the
lecture four numbers were of
necessity omitted. The lecture
was radical, Rev. Hall went into
the South, searched fer the true
condition of the Negro South and
gave it as he found it-unpolish-
ed for every bad state of Negro
both north and south he gave
plausible reasons, but some we're
too much so. The one we wish
to speak of specially is the why
our northern Negro does not
reach higher planes along the
line of education. To this We
take an almost entire opposition.
Poverty cannot be said to be the
cause of so many of our people
not going further, yet it may be
more so in colleges, but what are
we to say of our grammer school
and High school people? These
are absolutely, and in most of our
towus the poorer class can find
families in which they may work
to earn their rooming and board,
the rest is easy.
The lecture was specially dis
pleasing to some of our southern
friends who were present who
were present. These alta k d
Hall on all sides on the point mat
he had over charged the south.
This may have been we'll enough,
but we felt that it was carried to
too great an extent. We show
our ignorance by going too far.
The Union picnic was go.
Thursday Of last week saw The
biggest crowd Of coored people
in Decaur ever yet. Fairvlew
Park was thickly spread from
noon till late hour in the night,
and surely we had a good time.
Twice during the day a big din
ner was served absolutely free to
every one. This in itself was
sufficient to satisfy the efforts of
Jamea Ware and his assistants,
but we had more than that. The
base ball game was witnessed
with the greatest enthusiasm be
tween the married and unmarried
men. For a while the case of
the married men seemed hope
less; for indeed it was; but two
wild balls thrown by Stranger of
the single men side brought two
scores each time and tied the
game on the last inning, another
inning made ascore for the mar
ried men, and hence the game
The two dashes on foot follow
ed next, Stranger got first in

mount of interest.

Sorry, NY Umbrella!

got thru the morning somehow, and at

that I had to pass the shop where lay

and I popped in.
I bought an umbrella for Aunt Mary

Then, in flash, I saw what had hap

swept off.
In the afternoon the umbrellas were
sent round, and I kept a watchful eye
