although neither party now up

glad you wrote your editorial.

assure you that if you, or some
more of the Negro editors will

selves, they will do more for the
race than what they are now do.

cussing, then acting. Hence re

asleep as we appear, and tha
now we are getting our eye
open again.
So, dear sir. let us hear from
you. Let those who approve o
disapprove, express themselve
through your paper, and l ais
assure you that your paper wi

Yours for the good of the rae
and all.
