like tropical scene, so many and beau
tiful the floral tributes that hid the
grave from view. And as we turned
away, we said, another good citizen
gone! Who will take her place?
That was the central thought in my
mind during the impressive ceremony
at the house. 'Who shall take the
places of these good old colored citizens
that are passing to their homes be-
yond?" Such in life are a blessing to
our community, a bulwark of peace, Of
law, sobriety. decency, upward living
and hope beyondl These are they who
try to Undue their race with self-respect
and moral courage, to be industrious,
honest, law-abiding. And in all such
strivings they deserve to meet with
hearty cooperation from intelligent
white people, who are trying to place
both races upon the ascending steps Of
a good citizenship.
Those who would utter perveFse
things against the uplift of the cOlored
race, live upon the fierce and heated
bosom of prejudice where the cold
stream Of reason falls too frequently to
steam and kissing. and men who have
convictions Of right and wrong. definite
though unpopular, may thank God for
the clear and unbiased minds Of all men
seeking knowledge, truth and justice,
whether they be black or whitel How
dangerous is the opposite policy The
perils involved in the progress Of the
Negro are as nothing in comparison
with the perils invited by his failure.
And yet if any race is 10 live, it must
have something to live for. II will
hardly cling with pride to its race integ-
rity if its race world is a world wholly
synonymous with deprivation, and if the
world of the white man is the only
generous and honorable world of which
it knows. 1t will hardly hold with ten
acity to its racial standpoint, it will
hardly give any deep spiritual or con-
scious allegiance to its racial future, if
its race-life is to be forever burdened
with contempt, and denied the larger

their best efforts to conduct a baseball
club during the coming season, if an
amount sufficient, in their opinion, was
raised by others. After a careful study
of the whole matter we have come to
the conclusion that it is absolutely
necessary to secure 81. 900 to finance a
baseball team for the season. II the
citizens Of Madison county wish to con-
tinue a team in the Bluegrass League,
we are willing to do the best we can and
we ask them 70 contribute literally. Il
