A FUNERAL AND A LESSON.

Those who either ignorantly or
purposely nisinterpret the action o.
the South towards the negro might,
had they been present in Stafford
few days since at the funeral OF
Rev. DR.. John Moncure, have witness
sed scene which would have opened
their eyes to the true status OF the
true negro in the Southern States
says the Fredericksburg Star. Spots
wood Brown, the old and faithful
servant of the beloved minister,
whose tragic death shocked this en-
tire sectioS had gone to his last re-
ward while struggling manfully at
his masters side; he met his emf
along with the man he loved and
served, his fate linked with his mas
ter's in death as in life. At the fun
eral a few days later, the old Somer-
set home of the Moncures in Stafford
county witnessed gathering of sor-
rowful and distinguished men; eight
or ten ministers of the Episcopal
Church and bishop Of that church
were there, prominent members OF
the great knights Templar organiza-
tion, Masons of high degree and a
company of well-known Virglans all
gathered at the bier of the dead d.
vine, but not alone at his bier. The
same company saw the remains oil
the old colored man reposing meath
the same roof which sheltered the
remains of his master, the same
hands which scattered garlands and
a,tun,n flowers over the grave of the
Anglo Saxon gentleman with loving
remembrance placed them on the
funeral mound of his negro servant;
in the same family burying grounS
the dead minister sleeps not far re-
moved from the last resting place OF
his old retainer, while the Virginia
sunshine spreads its mantle of warm
tn DER the graves of both and the ai-
tumn winds sing a sweet requiem Tor
master and man. Such is the esteem
in which the true colored man is he"'
in the Old Dominion.

meetings to be held in the state this
year are those planned to be held at
Energy July 81 to Aug. 5th. For five
days specialists and experts will gather

purpose of calling attention to the de-
velopment of Mclean county. During

fences for camping are being arranged
for. The park, which is one Of the
most picturesque in the state, is be-
coming popular as resort. 1t is in
the center of region of the most val
liable resources yet found in the state.
the development of which means much
to the entire Missouri Slope. Special
Days including League Day, Better
Farming Day, Industrial Day, and Pio-
neers Day each with plenty of amuse-
ments, along with lectures, music and
talent of various kinds, will draw great
crowds from all over the surrounding

Martin Wittrup, one of our most
progressive farmers. brought to this
Office this week some samples of his
clover and alfalfa which were as good
as can be raised anywhere. He also
brought in ripe tomato which be
picked from his own garden on the
tenth day of July. This is very early

and as we'll arranged as you will often
see. He has fine prospects for a big
crop this year. One field of bearded

looks extra good. He has a Is acre

corn and plows them two ways.

Shown At Three
Big Land Shows
President Klein has Secured Floor
Space at Bismarck, Minneapo-
lis and Chicago

North Dakota will be advertised
right this year. President Klein of the
Missouri Slope Development League
has secured floor space at the Industrial
Exposition at Bismarck in October, at
the Northwest Product Exposition at
Minneapolis in November and at the
United States Land Show at Chicago
in December where the Slope exhibits
will be displayed during each exposition.
This matter was taken up at the
meeting of the league in Mandan last
week. The expense of this exhibit
will be met by each county in the
league. The Boards Of Commissioners
in nearly every county passed the levy
requested to carry on this work.
It is estimated that half a million
people will see these exhibits and have
proof that this state is the land of op-
portunity. -.
During the exposition at Minneapolis
prize of 1000 will be given for five
bushels of wheat. If you wish to enter
your grain for this prize write the Sec
eetary of the Washburn Commercial
club and he will give you the rulings of
the contest.

every state compelling promoters to
submit their prospectus and plans to
the Insurance Department and autho-
rizing the department to supervise all
promotions. Stock sold under misre-
presentation, expressed or implied,
not only separates the innocent investor
from his money, but is almost certain
to lead to dissensions or other trouble
in the future. In this connection it is
gratifying to note that the committee
on laws and legislation Of the National
Convention of Insurance Commissioners
has been directed to report to the con-
vention a recommendation for uniform
legislation to regulate the promotion of
insurance companies.
