in the education of the Negro. He
says on this point;
1.-THE education of the Negro is a
sine qua non. Whatever may be said
to the contrary, statistics and facts
show that education Of the right kind
the kind we are giving in all our
church schools will lessen crimes
among us. Our criminals do not come
from the public schools, nor the
church schools of the various denomi-
nations. They come from the idle,
worthless and most illiterate classes
among us. AS the Negro advances in,
general intelligence he builds on the
moral law. he becomes a taxpayer and
valuable citizen, he will become a
more important part of the body poll
tic. and will necessarily rise higher in
everything that is grand and noble"
"The effort to put the educational
work of the church on a firm basis
viii not cease with this success.

GAINESVILLE NOTES.

cLARkSNILLE NOTES.
"Of again, on again, gone again Fin
negan.' This quotation aptly fits the
condition of the Montgomery County
Colored Fair Company, which sched-
uled for a stock show last Thursday.
Friday and Saturday at Dunbar's Cave.
For three years this company has adj
vertised the fair for the first week of
October, but on no occasion has the
weather been propitious to the promo
ters. Last Thursday with a brass
band hailing from one of the classic
villages, hard by the waters of the
Cumberland, the promoters pushed
forth their project with zeal only to
have damper put on by the downpour
of rain. The next day more rain was
in evidence but on Saturday the only
favorable day, in the three years eff
fort, came and quite a number of peo-
pie were in attendance
Rev. e. H. Smith, for three years
pastor Of Mt. Olive Baptist Church,
gave his farewell last Sunday night to
an audience that taxed the capacity, of
the church.
The retiring minister was at his best
and delivered a feeling goodbye. He
is booked to take up his new work at
Harrisburg, Pa, October 81.
A spirited piece of horse flesh came
to his death by unknown causes. Last
Sunday night the owner thought the
night-riders had made him a visit;
but it was just his own driver that
caused the catastrophe. The inven-
tory shows that the owner is minus a
horse, one runabout buggy and
driver.
Rev. Geo. w. Hampton has accepted
the call of the First Baptist Church at
Mound City, III. With Rev. e. H.
Smith going to Harrisburg, Pa and
Rev. w. H. c. Stokes prospecting in
Illinois, it seems that some of the
GAINESVILLE Baptist preachers desire a
change of location.
Mr.. J. T. Manner, after several years
in the blacksmith trade, has sold his
shop to J. G. Carver and will make ST.
Louis his home.
Mr.. William Diggs went to Louis
vile on business last week.
Mr.. Geo. w Berry, of Greensboro,
KY, spent several days in the city,
the guest of H. w Randals.
DR.. r. S. Randals and William Jen-
lyins, after an extended visit to Chica.
20, New York and the Jamestown Ex-
position, returned home Thursday
Mr. Joe Garnett, of Louisville. is in
the city.
Or. L. T. Williams went to Hickman,
KY Thursday.
Mrs. Georgia Keesee, of Princeton,
KY, is in the city.
Miss Lille Overton returned from
Erwin last Thursday.
Mr.. William Jenkins who for sew
eral years held the position as chief
butcher for Kleeman and Co., will in
the near future open to the public an
up-to-date meat market at 526 Frank
lin street.
