The Sabbath schools are equally deserted^ The once busy plants of small industries are dead and the people farm <«dy for the bare necessities of life. Houses, barns, and fences are going to decay and the little mills that were on the creeks have tumbled down and the dams have washed away. Here and there you will sec a stately mansion sheltering some'degenerate family In the back w<M>ds while the vacant front greets you with the silence of the tomb. Sometimes you will find an old man and woman alon ; in an old ances tral home.

And now let me tell you, my dear wife, I am reading from The Hartford Times and this is only a short portion _of the report read in New Haven re cently by Rev. Mr. Hutching, a Bible colporteur, of Connecticut This report is fully accredited to true amFthe editor of The Times tries to tone it down by saying, “The same D+e causes th.it contributed to .their adyancament or their decay: 'IMie latter part deals gently and fairly with,, the negro and our efforts ■ to elevate and refine him by education.

But the editor of The Times is mistaken when he says the same condition* are common to all the older. States. We have oo4 such people of in Georgia. Jn some our mountain counties the people are Illiterate, but tney are honest and moral and attend church and observe the marriage relation and ol»ey the laws of the land and make the best soldiers the world ever saw.

Now, I was thinklng'that as Bos ton and Hartford and New Haven had stent a Gig lot of money down here to educate and reform our negrtfcs it would be nothing but fairfor / usto send a lot of the graduates up therp to do missionary work in Connecticut and Massachusetts. These negro graduates couldn't'teach them the lost art of making wixxlen nutmegs, but they could teach school and preach and the New England people could pay them for it and keep their money at borne. Something must he done and done quick, or the old Puritan race will become extinct. 1 reckon these colored graduates would make good missionaries. They have never tried anything else.

Several days ago a blind run by R. M.

The following daV an even more sensation al placard was exhibited ip the win dow, reading as follbWs: “Why don't this drunken Chid of Police l>e as active in closing other places as he hatvlhis.
