are from both races in the commu-
nifty. His other holdings include a
large farm in the country and valua-
BILE realty in town. There are also q

Messrs. Radcliffe and Douglass on

On October 18th, another Negro
bank threw open its doors in Wayns-
boro, Va, known as the Peoples
Southern Cent Savings Bank. The
event created such inter-
est that excursions were run from all
nearby towns; and a general holiday
was planned, SO that the colored peo-
pie, far and near might have an op-
portunity to come and lend a helping
hand in starting off this new finan-
c1al venture, which is destined to
play such a vital part in the finan-
cial affairs Of the Negroes in that re-
glon and Whereabouts.

Of educational development will be

time and the support Of the agencies

The Brownsville Board is preparing
to go to Brownsville, Texas to look
over the scene Of the alleged riot in
which soldiers of the 25th Infantry
are said to have been engaged. les
timony covering 1000 pages has

accused soldiers will be taken up.
The 1877 men are scattered about the
country, but the court and the attor-

the proceeds are under way. Some
Of the men have engaged counsel to
represent them at the hearings, but
this will not be necessary, if the SOL

and while it is too early to judge
Of its merits, it is certain to re

whenever an employee outlives

are getting ready TO put in an

They feel confident that next

planning to build log or stone
bases or foundations in their
fields above high water mark on

wheat and oats next year just as
