AT the last regular Saturday night

AaL Brother Gardner announced
that the Hon. Antimony Johnson
was In the anteroom and would
deliver an address and would afterward
make application for membership.
The stranger, it was explained, was
called the colored philosopher of the
south, and many of his wise sayings
had been given to the world in print.
Two more kerosene lamps were or
derea ugniea, tue aogs unveu out
from behinu the stove, and Samuel
Shin was informed that his bronchial
cough must be suppressed or turned
| out of doors. . The reception committee
then proceeded to the anteroom and
escorted the stranger in.
