NEGRO ARIsTocRAcY.
(Jack Thorne.)

The boast of the first families of
Virginia II of their noble and aris-
tocratic English lineage. A feeling
of pride and haughtiness permeates
the soul Of even the poorest white
Virginian who is ready to trace his
lineage to Washington or Jefferson,
Patrick Henry. Marshall, Randolph,
Harrison or Lee. The whole country
comedies this distinction to the great
old Commonwealth Of Virginia. In
days of old, no Roman citizen was
received and treated with greater
homage and Difference In other Sec
tions Of his country than the bonafide
citizen of Virginia. Historians and
writer's Of fiction, when they wish to
give to the world stories Of the
South's greatness, her chivalry. her
glory and her wealth, the part she
has played in the making Of q great
nation, invariably they take US into
Virginia, the mother of Presidents.
The boast Of the white Virginian
of his royal and aristocratic lineage
can also be the boast Of the Virginia
Negro, and justly so. The African
slaves landed at jamestown were
not all Of the thin skinned Hottentot
type, enticed into captivity by the
display Of red rag. There was a
sufficient percentage Of Akwuamus
and Kumaisi aristocrats and warlike
Zulus to Heaven the lump" and give
the Virginian Negro the distinction Of
being foremost in love of liberty,
foremost in the love Of race, foremost
in pride, in thrift, and independence.
Inspired by the eloquence Of Patrick
Henry and the teachings of Thomas
jefferson, the Virginia Negro was
among the first pioneers who in
quest Of freedom fought with blood
hounds as they trudged northward,
guided by the North Star. It is
claimed that the Virginian of color
is the only Afro-American that can
trace his lineage back through gen.
erations in an unbroken line. This
is due to the fact that there was less
selling Of slaves among the rich
shareholders of that State than was
the case in other States, and there
fore less breaking up of families dur
ing the slave regime. Thus this royal
and aristocratic blood flowed in one
uninterrupted stream from the land
ing Of the first cargo Of African
slaves at Jamestown in 1919 to the
Gabriel Insurrection in that State in
1900. So the Virginia Negro is the
only genuine blue blooded aristocrat
Of the race in America.-The Rich.

A GLIMPSE OF SOUTHLAND.

Maymie Geraldine Williams.
Tampa is situated on Tampa Bay,
which opens into the great Gulf OF
Mexico. It is a town of about $4,000
inhabitants of which the Afro-Amer-
leans constitute about 1-3 Of the pop
ulation.
The soil is very sandy, and there Is
sand, sand everywhere and hardly a
blade Of grass.
The Negro population consists OF
Negroes from all the West India and
Bahama Isles. There are about as
many foreign Negroes here as there
are Americans viz. Cubans, Jamacians,
Haytians and Nassaus.
The commercial life Of the Negroes
of Tampa is very active and one can
stop with his colored brother In al
most every avenue Of business.
Grocery stores, meat markets, ga
looms, fruit stands and restaurants
are quite numerous and are conducted
successfully.
Members Of the race find employ.
ment as brick layers, carpenters,
cigar makers, hack drivers, firemen.
and for almost all manual labor. Sew
eral are working for the government
as railway clerks, letter carriers, and
internal revenue inspectors.
There are three undertaking estab-
lishments, many livery stables. wood
yards, all operated by Negroes. While
a few are engaged. in raising oranges
and lemons. ..
Nearly all the Lodges own their
own buildings. The Odd Fellows
have a three story brick buildina
worth about $4,000 which is a credit
to the entire state.

ulation vastly cosmopolitan. there II

Why the Negroes were not repre-

swered-It was because they have no

that the working agreement with the road

With all the care taken by the United

ago bought two Chihuhuas, declared TO
be the two smallest dogs in the world.
They weigh five pounds in the aggregate
and they cost something over $1,000.

Mexican rebels. who just delight I'm costly

There are hopes that il may be, possible
TO get the two prize winners to this city
in time for the big Omaha Dog show, for
that was where Mr.. Brandels wished es-

he has the solemn promises Of all the
