District. held Tuesday evening, August
4th, committee which had been ap;
pointed for the purpose reported on the
condition of the school text book lib
rary and recommended the adoption OF
resolution whereby the books could

nished absolutely free and the system
has proven itself unsatisfactory.

lessness on the part of the children in
the use of books.
2. No means is provided for keeping
the text books in good condition.
8. There is no meaps whereby the
pupils may be camLl7ed to preserve

well.

Twenty-n,ne Years Old.

The CusrKR CHRoKIcLE is twenty
nine years old on this Saturday. Cast
ing a retrospective glance backward
through the dim vista Of the years that
have come and gone, We congratulate
ourselves that it is as well with us as
II is.
We have passed through all the vic
cissitudss that come to those who have
attempted TO publish paper in the Wild
west, but our flag was nailed to the mast
and has never been lowered. We have
endeavored to chronicle faithfully the
events that happened around us, some
that awakened smiles and laughter, some
that brought regret and some alas, with
their heavy burden of tears. "Haste
not, rest not" we have found the motto
best adopted to our environment, and
let the weather be fair or foul with
heavens blessing we propose to still pur-
sue the even tenor of our way.

before you, is depending upon you
as intelligent and thrifty men more
than it does upon your class of men
in the other race, because of the very
great need of such service existing
among our people.
I'm my judgment, it will be well for
this association to hold semi-annual
instead of annual meetings, for the
reason that your association should
have nj connection with it at some
time during it's session mass meet
ings in which there should be given
specific instructions in those things
in which the masses are interested. 1t
would make the banks feel that they
were akin to the people, and the peo-
pie would feel that the bank was their
institution, giving instruction as we'll
as receiving money. | mean to say
by this statement that the Bankers
Association should lead in having
meetings where discussions could be
had for the benefit of the people,
ut is the banks duty as we'll as it
is to its interest to encourage in all
cities and towns business organiza-
tions, such as grocery stores, drug
stores, lumber yards, hardware stores,
shoe companies, and anything which
offers to supply the people with the
commodities of life, provided they can
be sufficiently patronized by white and
colored to continue in existence. Thi:
will do three things:
|. 1t will teach the art of hand
ling business.
II. 1t will aggregate wealth under
the control of Negroes and give stand
ing TO the race
III. In these institutions the
thoughtful and wise element of the
race is brought in contact with the
thoughtless and careless of our peo
pie, which is the strongest appeal you
can make to them for their good. The
banker may feel that after he has
spent time and sometimes money to
get these business institutions organ
lied they may carry their money tc
other people. This may be so in the
commencement, but in the long run
the colored banks, if they are con
veniently located, will be the benefi
Charles of these businesses. BY all
means. you want to convince all class
es of your population that the banks
exist for all the business elements Of
our people
This association will find itself very
much helped if it will engage from

of owning lands. A great number Of

be city property, or farm and timber

You can appreciate more than the

their manufacture. and the result is
seen In the "Shrp Shavr" razor. which
is sent postpaid for tgenty-five cents
in stamps by the Lvok Publishing
House, 1874 Leonard street. New
York. It is superior to any razor
sold, being bought largely by those
already owning the highest priced
razors. Not every one knows that
the best results are obtained by hav-
ing two or three razors and alternat-

though none Of these quite equals

that 100000 worth OF precious
metals is taken every year out Of Sc

Peninsula Is only one OF the many
profitable mining districts Of the
