Sutton E. Griggs of Memphis,
Tenn, (colored) was here last
week, and the colored population
gave him a fine reception at the
court house. They reserved seats
for the white folks, and he made
a fine speech. This was his Sec
ond visit here, and his many
friends were glad to see him
again. He left a fine impression.
He specially cultivates the good
feeling between the races at all
times.
