NAYSL|CK COLORED
CITIZENS ASK AID IN
SCHOOL EQUIPMENT
Unassisted Progressive COlOred Citi-
zens Of Mayslick Have Erected
SchOOl-NOw They Ask Aid
For Equipment.

The colored citizens of Mayslick
have begun much needed thing-a
new school house. For the last five
years these thrifty people have denied
themselves every pleasure and luxury,
have remained on the farm, and saved
and sacrificed, so that their children
might have a comfortable school
building.
The Mayslick neighborhood supplies
two-thirds of the colored farm labor
ers for this county. But for the last
few years colored families have been
leaving this community and going to
Ohio for better school conditions.
These good colored folks wish to stop
this going North by the construction
of new school house in which shall
be taught the common school branches
principles of farming and domestic
science and manual training.
The relations between the white and
colored citizens of this progressive
little village have always been ideal.
Therefore it will be good investment
for the white farmers to have enough,
at reasonable wage, colored farm
laborers in their community, by COM
ing to the rescue of these colored peo-
pie in their struggle for better school
building.
These deserving colored folks have
raised enough money among them
selves to get the building under roof.
To do this they have not asked aid of
either white or colored friends; but
the building needs yet to be completed
inside and to be equipped with school
fixtures. To meet these two needs
they are asking their white and color
ed friends everywhere to come to
their help. These people have now
exhausted their efforts.
The following persons, all of Mays
lick, are authorized to receive or So
licit money through mail or in per-
son: Jas. H. Hicks, Jack W. Story, Eli
Bolden, Willie A. Taylor. v. B. Holtz,
W. H. Painter, Geo. W. Anderson, V.
A. Williams and the ladies Of the DIFF
ferent clubs.
