L Trigg and wife at dinner New Year's day MUSCATINE NOTES Muscatine has been very unfortunate in the last three or four years, the colored people especially, in their ministers. There is but a handful of them and the have allowed the "pastors" full sway. It seems to bad when a man of God will smack around and deceive the public, making debts and get money. We know that he is not a pastor. I speak of this is because we have a pastor now who forgets itself in his work for God. There has been bills after bills come into the church for debts contracted by the former pastor that no honest man would have left unpaid, until they have amounted to $100,000. We collect enough articles and bribe-a-brace by donation to hold a fair and by this means raise enough money to clean the interior of our church. The two ladies who were soliciting were told by some of the most influential business men they never intended helping the African church again as the last of the three ladies who got advertisements from them claiming he was going to edit a paper and would advertise them through its columns for $1.50 a year that he sent his wife around to collect the money and renew his promises which were not kept. One or two of them sent a letter statement of it to Bishop Shuffer to meet him at conference. Claiming that such rogues ought not to hold a place among an honorable body of men. But what can the people do. They think a man must be a rogues indeed in order to be a church man who has been buried for two or three years in this way becomes careless in their duties and the man who is deserving the brunt.
