How the Trouble BEGAN.

Robert McCoulloch one of Gen. Pickes Captains in the
ST Louis Republic
One day, away back in the past CEN
turtles, Yankee skipper was sailing his
splendid brig-rigged craft up the African
Coast, attracted by a good harbor on the
shsres Of which there appeared settle
ment. He landed finding great gathering
of natives. He began bartering trinkets
with which he was supplied for peltry, and
wares of crude and curious design, his ves-
sci was curio to the natives. They indi-
Gated their desire to inspect it, which desire
he gratified and when he had perhaps a
couple of hundred of them in the hold the
matches were closed down, his anchor was
weighed and he sailed away to Boston.
Arriving there he sold these black people
into slavery to his brother Yankees, and he
sailed back to Africa. and he brought many
other loads of these same black people and
sold them all into slavery.
Later on, these shrewd Yankees denied
that in the years to come proclamation
would be made by the President of the
United States releasing from bondage all
these black people, and they proceeded to
sell their blacks to their Southern brethren,
when the money from these sales was
safely invested they made declaration that
it was wrong to hold black people in bond
age.
This doctrine of wrong was preached
from many pulpits and its echoes extended
to the legislative halls at Washington, and
with this beginning of difference, many
grievances, imaginary or real, were added
and the representatives of the North and
the representatives of the South quarreled
so bitterly that the people of the North and
the people of the South became aligned
against each other

chase Price of Scholarship

7 The proprietor of the Banner has for

Z If you are expecting to enter your son

why not buy this scholarship and thus

offered by the college.
