After weeks of effort they succeeded- in getting an op portunity, and on Wednesday hight of last week appeared be fore tne board and presented the memorial. Those appearing be, fore the board were:- Reverends N. C. Cleaves, J. J. Durham. C. C. Scott, Messrs Joseph Pelot, Issac S. Levy, N. H Collins, G. W. Pegues, N. S. Shelton. The memorial is a strong and convin cing paper, and will doubtless have effect. The members oi the school board who were pres ent, some of them were absent expressed themselves as being ir sympathy with us, and is willinj todo all that is possible for thc colored people; but said they dk not see their way clear to ac just at present upon any of th? requests made, but would consid er them carefully and take actioi just as soon as possible. Whil there is a desire on the part o some persons to have the mern orial published ir. The Souther] Indicator, the memorial commit tee as well as The Indicate believes it is not expedient to d so; at any rate not expedient jus now. The Indicator will keep il readers advised from time to tim of what is being done in regard to the matter. Mrs. Ben. Williams' 82n< Birthday. [4: ih iSt ith int tne or, int tia 3rs :en ?et ily.

K[e too had been hoaxed. On our way back we found the grave digger in chief, seated in the of fice of one of these undertakers, looking like the chief mourner at his own funeral; he too it ap pears had been April fooled. And these three firms of under takers at their respective places of business, picked un a copy of The Southern Indicator and read from it the following lines. - Alas! Alas! O'Lackaday! What three mocked fools these mortals be!" Speaking of Aprils Fool's Day, reminds us of an incident thal happened some years ago. Ole man Sizer kept a hotel in i little country town in Westen North Carolina. He had a ne'ei do well son named Dennis, wh< loafed around the hotel and ren dered but little service. Denni; had a habit of looking over th? shoulders of the guests whil they sat at the desk writing thei letters. One young fellow re cently arrived and of a poeti frame of mind, whil? writing t his best girl, happened to fe( some one brushing up benin him. He had heard of Denni* propensity, and without apparer stop or hesitancy continued h writing and penned these lines "I've seen some men who wei very wise, And then again some wiser; But the biggest fool I've ev seen His name is Dennis Sizer."
