Stay in the Country.

On Sunday afternoon Raw. Mr..
Kinard preached to the colored
people, and during the course of
his remarks said many good things
which if put into practice by his
hearers will contribute to their
temporal and eternal welfare. His
tbame was, "six days thcu shalt
lab,.r." The speaker urged the
colored people to remain in the
country on the farms instead cf
moving to the towns, stating that
nine-tenths of those who move to
the town become idlers aud loaf.
ers. The most thoughtful colored
people realize the truth and time
illness of this admonition. The fact
is, the most prosperous colored
people do not flock to the towns
on Saturday afternoons to loaf
aud gossip, but remain al home
aud work as hard and as late Oh
Saturday as on Monday.
