Clark university, Atlanta, Ca, says
Whittier Il. Wright Of Philadelphia.
DR.. Crogman is a great man as an
educator, and in Christian character
and scholarship 1t is safe to say he
stands among the first four, II not at
the very head, Of the colored race.
DR.. Crogman was born on the island
of st. Martins. May 8, 1S41. In 1856 he
went to sea- He visited many lands
and, observant and thoughtful. OBJ
tanned a wide knowledge Of various ma
tionalities and parts Of the world. His
visits included especially England. va
rious points on the continent of Eu
rope, Calcutta and Bombay In Asia
and various places in South America.
DR.. Crogman is an alumnus Of Pierce
college and Atlanta university. he
served as instructor in English branches
at Claflin university, Orangeburg, g.
c., for three years. He was called to
his present chair in 1880. For several
years Professor Crogman served as
president of Clark university.
Dr. Crogman is the author of several
pamphlets and also Of the book entitled
Talks For the Times"
Several years ago university Of
good standing conferred upon PROBES
sor Crogman the degree Of LII. D., but
in his modesty he insists on declining
the use Of the title, saying that he does
not consider himself worthy Of the
honor it implies.
The general conference Of the Meth
odist Episcopal church Of 1892 provided
for university senate, to be COM
posed Of fifteen practical educators
chosen by the bishops, to determine
the minimum requirements In our
church colleges and universities for the
baccalaureate degree. Professor Crog-
man has been q member Of this senate
for many years.
The projection Of the cotton states
and international exposition In Atlanta
for 1896 must be regarded as one Of
the boldest and most enterprising un-
dertakings of our wonderful American
history when we consider the size Of
the city. the financial condition Of the
south and the nation and the proximity

ture. Professor Crogman was sent
throughout the leading cities Of the
south to present the matter to the col
ored people and secure their co-opera-
ton.
He spent a considerable time in each
of the twenty largest cities. Many Of
the leaders and educators Of the col
Ored people said: I'VE have been de-
ceived and wrongly treated 20 many
times and in so many ways that we
are slow to take part in any enterprise
of this kind. But the fact that Pro
lessor Crogman, a representative edu-
:ator of our own race. presents this
subject shows that its purpose 10 for
the education and advancement of our
people, and we are ready to engage In

Archbishop John Ireland does not
plan any special celebration in honor
Of the golden anniversary of his or
dination to the priesthood which falls

Constructive Work of the Mississippi
State Business League.

The opening of the oil mill and manu-
featuring plant at Mound Bayou, Miss.
recently, will go down in history as the
most stupendous Industrial achieve
ment of the colored race during its
fifty years of freedom. The concern
will give employment to scores Of
young men and women Of the race who
are prepared by education and special
Industrial training to assist the manage
ment in the many details connected
with the successful operation Of this
magnificent business concern.
The enterprise In its entirety will
represent an investment Of 100000
and Is the fruit Of decision reached
by the Mississippi Negroes acting
through their State Negro Business

south a constructive industrial enter.

Negro architect. contractor and build
er, has been in entire charge Of fitting
the plant for operation. Mr.. Cook has
been wholly responsible for every de.
tail involved in the design and con-
struction of the plant.
The plant is admittedly one of the
best constructed In the state. A Corliss
engine, $50 horsepower, will drive the
machinery-a live shaft Of 200 feet
which in turn operates the transmits

double shakers. a FIVE roller crusher
stand, one cake former, an automatic

community easily markets each season
$4,000 worth Of raw or bulk cotton

will be alright.' Before next
time, however, cold weather had
set in, and they were badly in
need Of coal, to keep them warm.
81 guess I'll take ten dollars of
the money and send for some
coal. I can easily work and pay
that much back again, when I
get more washings,'' said Biddy
to herself. So matters went on
until at last twenty five dollars
had been spent The old gentle
man had gone away for the winter
50 she could not even pay the re-
naming seventy-five dollars back.
Biddy worried and worried till
she was getting thin, to think she
had taken something that did not
belong to her. And the worst Of
it was, the neighbors and her own
children seemed to know it; or at
any rate suspect it. Nearly every
day someone would remark, that
Biddy must be getting rich to be
buying so many new things.
At last she decided to save up
all the money she could before
spring came; and maybe by the
time the old man returned she
could pay back his money. BY
much careful saving, Biddy found
she could lay aside two dollars
every week; 50 by the month of
May there were twenty dollars
paid on the debt.
When the old gentleman return
ed, Biddy went to him and told
her whole story. She took him
ninety five dollars and promised to
pay the rest as soon as possible.
10 her great JOY, however, he for
gave her freely and said she
could keep the money. This she
did, and most certainly it was
with a thankful heart. she return
eel to her home.

Biddy's Troubles.
Written BY Lora Sly

Bridget Malone, or Biddy, as
she was more usually called lived
in the suburbs Of the city Of New
York. Her husband had been
dead for two years. and during
this time she had supported her
self and five children, by doing
washings for her we'll to- do neigh.
bors.
Now it happened that one Of her
customers was a rich old bachelor
who usually had little washing
and big pay.
One day in looking over the
clothes, she found in one of his
shirt pockets, crisp new, one
hundred dollar bill.
"Faith now, and he must be very
rich indade. to carry so much mon
ey round in his pocket. I'll lay
this up on tie shelf 50 it won't
get lost, until | can return it."
thought Biddy, as she looked with
eager eyes at the money.
'If | had that much money nov
| could pay up the rent and get
the children some warm clothes
for the winter" !"
The next day when the old man
called for his clothes, he remarked
that he had lost a large sum of
money. 1T must have slipped
out of my pocket though he
said, for / have looked through
all of my clothes. .
Biddy blushed but said nothing.
After he left she thought, "Oh I'll
give it to him next time and it

HomeSteaderS, Have Patience

There are many parties who
have filed their notice to prove up
and they all seem to want their
proofs published at once. Now
the Land Office is receiving hun
dreds of proofs every week and
they have no extra assistance SO
that it is impossible to keep pub
lications Of final proofs up to date.
The Land Office will do their best
to get the publications started as
soon as possible, SO in view of
this fact have patience and wait
and don't keep writing to them
about your proof. The Land
Office has assured us that all proofs
will be published at an early
date as possible.

The 7th grade are delighted to
rid themselves of Gordy's U. s.
History. 1t is much more difficult
than the new History Mace's.
In a History test given in the
oth grade, Miss Margaret Bush
man made grade of 90, leading
the class by eight points. Two
thirds of the class made passing
grades. The pupils are encourag-
ed as the test was very difficult.

The Democrats held their county
convention at Glendive on last

The Democrats are very enthus-
iastic this year and have put up
the best timber that is possible,
for they all figure that this year
is to be the one that the Demo-
Gratis |ill reign supreme SO they
are working a little harder than
usual. S. B. Chappell of this
city was nominated for the State
Senator which plainly shows that
Wibaux has the timber and is not
to be forgotten. Mr.. Chappell is
qualified for the office nominated
and even if he is Democrat we
desire to see Wibaux forge to the
front and wish him success crown
ed with glory at the polls next
November.
