Furthermore he saves four times the number of postrons assigned to Postmaster Fisher Prior to Mr. Sayres' appointment other Negroes held the postmasterhip at Nicodemus village settled in 1877. Doubtless there are other postoffices in Kansas that have been served by Negroes much earlier than Quindaro. Yours for Truth, OBLIUARY.

C. foot ball team played the Kansas City Y's at that place Saturday of last week, and as is customary for Kansas City, the boys were "ruffled out." They were not content with having a referee who oiled every point against their guests, but raided the "lockers" at the rooms and stole the clothing left therein by some of the young men. A Topeka lady visited the rooms and on taking her departure laid down her purse in order to put on her gloves, and in doing so happened to turn her head. It was all off, the same magic wand that operated in the "lockers" had been waved over it.

They were here to listen to the arguments in the school case which has been hanging fine in the Supreme court for some time. G. C. Benson of Erie and Judge W. J. Jamison of this city presented the colored man's side of the case. A decision is looked for in a few weeks. In speaking of the matter Mr. Williams said: "The colored people of Parsons are not satisfied with the dangerous location of the school, and if the court recies against us man's will move away before they will accept the present conditions. We also wish to brand the statement made by one of our kins of Rooka, who said that the colored people of Parsons were satisfied with the school as being an outfit. He further stated that Elder J. R. Rarwm and his brother were the only kicking. This is another relschool woven out of whole cloth. Every colored man and woman in Labette county is against it."
