Mrs. Carl Stearles and little son Rudolph of Decatur, are here visiting their mother and grandmother, Mrs. Annie Young of E. Market street. Dr. Clanton's Truth. Dr. Clanton is right: Ministers of the gospel are the representatives of Jesus Christ, doing the work of Christ in His stead, and none but the true, intelligent, comprehensive, broad-guaged minister is fit to be an ambassador of Christ. They should be as lights, shining with effulgent brilliancy thus causing men and women to be constrained to follow their precepts and their teachings. Any other man misrepresents, instead of representing Jesus Christ. It is also intended that the people enmasse, shall read the scriptures and be able to vie with each other as to what are the interpretations therein. Mrs. J. M. Mosby was indisposed this week. "Be ye doers and not sayers only." The Unique Entertainment. The Unique Entertainment to be given at the St. Paul A.M.E church, Tuesday evening, under the personal direction of Mrs. Carrie Lee Hamilton, promises to be unique and entertaining.

PURPLE LILACS Like the first trembling glow of the morning Ere darkness has yielded to light Ere the rose-tinted glow of the dawning Has pierced through the veil of the night Like the tint of a cloud through a sunbeam Like the blush of a rose through a mist Like the faraway hills of a day dream Whose glory the sunlight has kist All a'tremble with exquisite gladness Half perceived through a passion of pain The purple tinged lilacs are telling Of the dawning of first love's sweet reign. -CORA J. BALL LIEUT. TILLMAN PRAISES THE 8TH REGIMENT. Lieut. Tillman, of the Regular Army, nephew of United States Senator Tillman, was at Camp Lincoln last week and inspected the soldiers and all the armament. Mr. Tillman speaks very highly of the Eighth Regiment and declares that it compares favorably with any regiment in the land. He is said to be a perfect gentleman and accords the colored boys with the greatest respect. Many favorable comments are made of the address Mr. Tillman delivered to the officers Thursday morning. He is spoken of as being the antithesis to his uncle. The time is fast drawing near when candidates for county offices must be named. The democrats now have control of nearly every office in the city and county and the Republicans should not fail to choose men for their respective fitness if they hope to regain any of their former power and prestige. The Negro vote is an uncertain quantity just now, but they will be very choice in whom they support for sheriff. The colored people must think more and talk less and give ear to the intelligent men and women who are striving assidiously to hold high the banner of good citizenship. Last Thursday evening, July 22, the Young Men's Progressive League, secured the casino or dance pavilion at Washington park to give a few hours out-of-doors dancing; the men securing the park being of good repute and respectable married men and tax payers. The casino had not been secured by colored people before simply because, no doubt, they had not spoken for it. Because these respectable colored people got this place and gave as respectable a dance as the best white people could possibly give; and because they could not find any other fault the newspapers, the very incubators of evil and perturbation, lowered their reputation as to truth and veracity and said that "plantation dances," etc., prevailed, such allegations being a malicious untruth or a real lie. A large crowd of the best white people were out and saw that the colored people deported themselves as ladies and gentlemen. The club is to be congratulated for its good conduct and excellent demeanor. A man who believes himself inferior to anybody else is usually just as inferior as he believes himself to be. If he is not at one time he will be at some other time. Colored men who go into business must learn to compete in prices with their white competitors or they must go to the wall. This is an age of competition. If we teach our children self respect and impress upon them the necessity of respecting others, both white and black, we will have done much to relieve the tension in existing conditions. We are doing our best to get on with some of these white folks down here but some of them make us mighty tired and make us feel like giving up our religion for just a little while and get to down right "cussing.' Richmond. (Va..) Planet. Greatness can only be rightly estimated when minuteness is justly reverenced. Greatness is the aggregation of minuteness, and its sublimity can not be truly felt, by any mind unaccustomed to the constant and faithful observance of that which is least. National Baptist Union. We advise parents to desist from so much harsh abuse to their children and teach them more ethics and why it is better to do right than wrong-teach them, not in words only, but in deeds and example. Let your own light shine from the hill tops and it will be a lamp unto your child's feet. He is a great man who inhabits a higher sphere of thought, into which other men rise with labor and difficulty. He has but to open his eyes to see things in a true light, and in large relations, while they must make painful corrections, and keep a vigilant eye on many sources of error. National Baptist Union.

We must have the nourishment affored by food and drink for physical growth. But we need nourishment for growth of the mind also and that is good reading. Reading is what opens the way into the various departments of science and literature. Among the civilized people today reading is the most important art. By knowing how to read we know ourselves and our fellow creatures. We know what others are doing, what is going on between the different nations, in short, what is passing on about us. Reading may be useful in different ways. Take a person who reads good sound reading. It will give useful subjects for conversations and take away some of the taste for talking scandal. The chief objects people should seek when reading are something instructive and also some for amusement. We should try to select good reading. In the best books great men talk and give their best thoughts. Each writer has his own way and manner of writing, therefore we ought to make a selection from a number of authors. Our reading should have some worthy aim in view; we should have some method to go by. Some make up their minds to read so much each year so they say: "I have read this many books." That person may remember the titles of the books he has read a short time before and he may not. Has the reading done him any good? His gain must be little, if any. The majority of our people have little taste for poetry, but poetry is the expression of a people's finest thoughts. Greek poetry has been likened unto the wonderful song of the nightingale. Surely it would pay us to read some of these fine thoughts and fancies. Novels are the books most commonly read; here the ideas are set forth in a tempting and fine way. The main thing is that they may be interesting and amusing. There are some good novels, but there is any number of these books that are published and read nowaday that does not develop a personal mental power, but robs one of time, money and principle. Another source of reading is the periodicals. There are a great number of these published annually. The cheap and worthless are, so to say, thrust upon our notice. Some of these periodicals are good and bring freshness and knowledge among the people. Why not found literary clubs and take in members who are really interested in the work and study the lives and works of standard authors? The literary societies in connection with church life is well enough, but it does not give the opportunity that a club would whose aim was to get acquainted with the best writers in each period of education up to the present time. The only way to become an intellectual people is to found libraries and not forget to use them.—Portland, (Ore.) Advocate.
