GATED TO THE EDUCATION OF HIS PEOPLE
AN ACCREDITED HIGH SCHOOL is a major and
need of Negro citizens. The Pine Bluff Board of
Education is slowly attempting to hold back the on
slaught of the terrific advance toward integraton
in the field of education through its agents among
the Negro people who still preach from their vaunt-
ed positions JUST BE PATIENT WAIT I'M
PROVEMENTS ARE BEING MADE! In the field of

of Colored People and for the full emancipation of
American Negro'H You must know her name the
late MRS ELLA CLAYTON TINS Incidentally
while the heirs at law go into court and wrangle
over her small possession ii would be grand if the

OF recent deaths Of many of my fellow citizens in
their wills one does not find much charity and
most times not even charity in the home!
