Four Hearts Beat as Two.

A remarkable court decision in
bigamy case has been handed down
at Perugia, italy, where Charles Bal
lioEi, a tailor, was acquitted of 4
charge of having two wives on the
ground that he has two hearts. Four
physicians testified that Balliori has
two hearts, and the court at once de-
cided that this was ample reason for
him to marry two women.

tors brought him here, he has been
a most valuable human adjunct TO
the material wealth of this repub-
lie.
"He felled the trees of the for
est. He cut out our great bitches
at the South. He has built our
railroads. He has perpetuated
our great cotton and peanut indus
try. He has by his physical dura-
bility worked to maintain the ag-
ricultural and mechanical honor of
the South. He has fought upon
every field of battle. Wherever
the American flag has gone in
time of war he has followed it, as
an American soldier. Wherever
the flag has been thrown to the
breeze in time of peace he has
been under it, faithful aw-abid-
ing citizen.
''The Negro is an American citi-
zen. He is not an anarchist. He
is a native lover of the rights of
men. Although denied many of
the human rights in his own ma
tive land he delights to see the
sons of other countries come to
his native shores aud enjoy
greater and more profound free
dom and citizenship.
"You have been told that to
free the Negro was great mis-
take; that under the circumstances
he could not take care of himself.
But this statement has been prov
en- false within its own limits.
Freed forty-two years ago; left
alone in the very worst human
conditions, in the face of human
prejudice, and political as well as
social and industrial misrepresen-
tation has accumulated over $500,
100000 taxable property. He has
produced United States senators
and congressman, of which the
nation has never been made
ashamed, and not one of whom was
ever tried for graft.
His own doctors, laboring un-
der great social and professional
embarrassments, have made their
way into some of the best families
of the nation as a sensible physi-
clan. He has ever under ostra-
cism and political prescription re-
sponded to the call of the nation.
Il see Gods hand at work in
my own state. The Negro is leav-
ing the large plantation life; he is
buying for himself 10, Is, 20 or
100 acre lots; he is shipping his
own truck, peanuts, Gotten or pork.
He is sending his child to school;
he is establishing for him the con-
fidence with the best white people.
He is letting politics alone and he
is gradually throwing off the awful
shame of the plantation life and is
a real factor in the commercial
world.
Il am establishing an institu-
tion upon the very spot where the
first Negro was sold after they had
landed at Old jamestown. The
Negro does not ask for social
equality He does not want to
marry white women. He only asks
for a fair chance in the new life.
Il appeal to the white men all
over this land to give the Negro

Atlanta, Ga, Dec. 4.-Bishop
FL. M. Turner, of the African
Methodist Episcopal church, was
married here last night to Miss
Laura P. Lemon. The bride was
formerly the Bishops secretary,
and had secured a divorce from
her husband. the Rev. MIR. Poell,
last May. At the time the divorce
was obtained it was reported Bish-
op Turner contemplated making
the divorcee his wife. Bishop
Gaines brought the matter to the
attention of the Council of Bishops
at their meeting i'll June. After
an investigation, Bishop Turner
was notified by the council that
such a marriage would not be
contenanced by the A. M. E.
church. Nothing further was
heard of the matter until the
announcement of marriage.

HAS it ever occurred to YOU"
says a Southern white exchange,
that the newspapers of this coun-
try owe something to the colored
race other than recording day after
day the crimes that Negroes COM
nit? What newspapers within
your range of reading gives any
space to the colored race to pro-
mote the best interests of these
people? You cannot name one.
We hold them up ridicule, we
show humoursly their dense ignor-
ance and quaint views to make
white folks laugh, and we tell with
unfailing regularity Of the worst
they are guilty of, not forgetting to
say big black brute and narrate
how he was lynched. Now all Ne
groes are not bad. There is many
a good man among them. 1t is
rare that we notice him. We owe
it to him to notice him, tell of the
good work he does not only to en-
courage him, ont to encourage
others of his people. The news
papers of the South has not given
the Negro a square deal. Possess
ed of all the prejudices incident to
white life in the South, we never
theless submit that we, as news
papers, treat the colored man bad
ly and we ought to do better than
we have done. By doing so we
will contribute to our own welfare"

Rev. z. G. Boaz is packing and
shipping his goods this week to Kan
sas city, where he, and his good
family, will reside in the future. His
time with the church at this place,
and also with the church at High
Point, will end with this month. He
has concluded to quit the active min
istry for awhile, and 60 into business
with his son and son-inlaw, who are
conducting a large and paying bust
ness in Kansas City. His children,
who live there, and also his daughter
and family that live rear Kansas City,
are all very anxious to have Rev.
Boaz and family CLOSER to them.
Since Mr.. Boaz took charge Of the
Presbyterian church in this city it has
made a large growth, and never has
been in as hourishing condition as
after he took charge. We understand
the people at High Point, where Mr..
Boaz breaches, in ction with
the church here, are well pleased
with his work and sorry to have him
leave them. Mr.. and Mrs. Boaz
have many friends in this city, who
who will regret to see them go away,
and they will have the assurance, as
they go, Of the best wishes of our
people. For some time neither Mr..
or Mrs. Boaz have had good health,
and they are in hopes that a rest will
do them both good. They have rented
a large fiat in Kansas City, and will
live in a most pleasant location, with
the rest of the family who are there
at this time.

The Bank OF Versailles.

We note. with pleasure, the extern
sive improvements made by The Bank
OF Versailles. This Bank, we are told,
is now about twenty-five years old.
1t has always enjoyed the confidence
of the people, and has grown until
it's surplus is now equal to it's Cap
ital Stock. The officers of the Bank
have recently put in new and up-to-
date fixtures, tile floor, hot water
heat, and replaced the old vault with
two new ones These new vaults are
built with two walls, an outer and
inner wall. which is known to be
specially adapted to resist the effects
Of fire. 1t is built Of fire brick and
cement, the most durable materials
that can be had. The lower vault
contains the money safe, the books Of
the Bank in present use, and the Safe
ty Deposit Boxes. recently installed
by the Bank. This is a new feature.
Prudent and careful business men
want a place where their valuable
papers, such as title deeds, notes,
mortgages, bonds, wills and other
valuable papers may be absolutely
safe from loss OF destruction by fire or
other cause. and where they know
they will be private. Recognizing
this need of the community The Bank
Of Versailles has been progressive
enough to provide them. The rem
Of these boxes is cheap for their USE
fitness.
In addition to the precautions o.
vaults and safes, this Bank carries In.
surance against robbery, the officers
believing TITO be their duty to take
every precaution to protect their
customers and themselves.
We observe too that the officers 0
this modern Bank have not been
unnipGful. Of the welfare and comfor,
Of their customers and friends, 70,
they. have fitted up the back room OF
