RELATING TO
THE Street OIL
To The Residents OF Marion Who
Paid For Having The
Streets Oiled.

Most of the residents were
very liberal. Some sat back and
let their neighbors pay for this
work. Even in the business part
Of the city there are five business
houses who did not pay one cent,
but got the benefit just the same.
In residence sections the sane
thing happened except in three
cases. Everyone paid on Elm
street, west from Main as far as
oiling went. Every one on South
Main street paid, ands,from Bap.
fist church vest everyone paid.
You will find a list Of all who
paid for this work anG the
amount they paid. The worst
trouble person has in job like
this is that the parties who pay
one or two dollars want the same
amount of oil as those that pay
ten or fifteen dollars. We did
the best that we could and feel
that il was what We agreed to
d.. aud more. Mr.. Canaan
saw to getting til e
oil into the wa gon tan K
and then turned il over 70 me to
distribute on the streets. was
a little disappointed in my calcu-
lations. expected when We
commenced. 10 get as many as
thirty cusslngs but | only got
twenty-three. so you see ! am
short seven. OF course they
may come in later. do not
know how many Mr.. Canaan got
because he wouldn't tell me.
You see he played me a trick by
getting me in the place he knew
most of them would come from.
But the oiling is done and We
are Doth living. We used Ii, 26C
gallons of oil. We paid for thi:
oil. a carload Of sand, all labor
and expense. and still have II
per cent. Of your money, which
we will pay back to those WHIT
contributed to oil fund. So nov
all that want their 10 per cent
call on us on or before the ten
IN. day of July. You must ge
il by then or not at all.

 The Thirteenth Amendment pos sesses the grandeur of simplicity and the virtue of brevity. It reads: ARTICLE XIII.
 Section 1.
 Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime, whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist with in the United States, or any place sub ject to their Jurisdiction.
 Section 2.
 Congress shall have power to en- force this article by appropriate legis- lation.
 By the emancipation proclamation of 1868 Lincoln offered the gift of freedom to 80 ,392 slaves in Arkan- sas, Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Mis- ississfppi, North Carolina South Caro- lima, Texas, and parts of Virginia and Louisiana This was the territory controlled by the Confederacy. The institution of slavery was not disturb ed by the proclamation in Delaware, Kentucky, Maryland, Missouri, Ten nessee, West Virginia, and parts of Virginia and Louisiana. There were l831. .78o slaves in these states who did not receive the gift of freedom until the Thirteenth Amendment was adopted. Practically speaking, how 1 ever, the surrender of Lee sounded the death knell of slavery. and the constitutional amendment only legal iized what had already been accom- plished.
 1 While the Thirteenth Amendment tended the institution of slavery, so far as the great powers were concern ed, the, institution continued to flour 1 ish for many years in the West Indies and Brazil. The Spanish government foo 4T1 1878, and in 1879 the Spanish parlia- rnent passed a bill providing for the gradual emancipation of the slaves in 1 Cuba. The first step toward the | overthrow of the institution In Brazil was taken in 1867, but it was not un- til 1888 that the last vestiges of slav- cry in the great South American coun- try were wiped out. Portugal abo1- l issed slavery in her colonies in 1876, aid in Egypt slavery was ended in I1Ss1.
 The British government led in the movement for the abolition of slavery, Slavery was terminated in the British possessions in 1894, when 770,2S0 slaves becamhe free, Parliament hav- ling granted nearly a hundred million dollars for the compensation of the owners of slaves.
 England also led in abolishine serfdom which was finally extin- guished in that country in 1860. The institution of .serfdon, which involved the practical enslavement of vast bod ies of white men hourished in a mum Der of the German states until the early part of the nineteenth century l although it was abolished by Joseph H., Emperor of Germany, in his he reditary states in 17S1.
