EDITOR'e OBSERVATIONS,
By J IN L. ThomHs -

By y S.lI l.. HC'H 'is IT,.
The next place that VIC rcs"ad our
weary feet was in Brunsw:ch: wherH
". found about 500 people, most cf
whom are doing nicely, owning their
own homes. There are mFrv sue
cessful farmers living adjacent to
this town. While the crops this year
were very bad, yet, like most Of the
farmers, they were making the best
of the situation that they could.
There are two churches here, moving
along as usual The school is spresid-
ed over, by Professors S. W: Bigby
and r. H. Payne, who are very COM
petent young men, with a bright fu-
ture before them. They are we'll
liked and are doing fine. Messrs. Ben
Price, Spencer, Payne and John L.
Ford are some very successful men.
Mr.. S. R. Robinson and J. w. Morris
are living in town, but working out
in the country. Mr.. Blanton and Mr..
Griggs and S. w. Franklin are hus-
tiers and we'll respected. .@..,z. /.
r" Chillicothe was our next stop. Here
we find Mr.. E. C. Quinn hnilding an
addition to their beautiful home,
which when completed will be one
of the finest modern cottages owned
by colored people in this part Of Mis-
souri. They are very successful peo-
pie. Rev. B. s. Sawyers, pioneer
Baptist preacher of this part Of Mis-
souri, and we'll known throughout the
middle west, owns valuable property.
