COlORED PEOPLE HAVE
SUCCESSFUL BOX SUPPER
(Bv Steve Ross

We are glad to say that the good
people of Carthage are wide-awake
and are still working in behalf of
their children. The colored people
of Carthage were entertained by the
coIored school board Saturday night,
April II, with y box supper. The
boxes were given by the young la
dies of the city and sold to the high
est bidder by Prof. s. J. Ross, auc-
TONER. Interesting papers were read
by the most charming ladies of the
town. But the feature of it all was
the race for the prize to the lady who
raised the most money, the first
prize being awarded to Miss Lucy
Fite King, and the second prize to
Miss Lucy Allen. The reports show
ed that Lucy Fife King had raised
81 O5, and Lucy King So 20. The re-
ports of Ella Mcdonald and Sadie
King combined showed $3.50.
