STATE CAPITAL

Little Rock, August 27.-Sudden
sickness attacked several of the ne
groes who came to Little Rock Thurs
day to take the examination for teach
err or instructor in the Pine Bluff
branch Normal, after the questions
were presented to them. The malady
seemed to have locked horns good and
tight with the patients, for they did
not return to take up the examination
when it was continued over Friday.
Letters received Friday morning
from r. f. Bassett, former advertis-
ing agent of the Cotton Belt, written
from Silver City, N. NJ, where he is
now located in an effort to regain his
health. Mr.. Bassett has been in bed
the most of the time since he reached
the New Mexico resort, but writes a
cheerful letter, saying he hopes to be
up and about again as soon as he can
get used to the change of climate.

office with another happy little family
of four wee little babies. They are

Well, these did; and they can actually
eat whole grains of wheat and drink

This makes two little families she has
