the Twin Cities in particular. No one
| is COMPELLED to patronize THE
| APPEAL unless he sees fit, but it ap-
pears very strange that race and civic
pride should not prevent it from be-
ing ignored when the colored public
is to be called upon to support some
local enterprise.
THE APPEAL had a very pleasant
call on last Thursday from Mr.. Fred
