This is not as it should be. It should be more respected. Well the Negro minstrel has "come and went." There were 12 of them, they were quite proficient, in a way. There old jokes were the same old things that we heard when negro minstrels were the rage 20 years ago, but their music both instrumental and vocal, was up to date and very good by the majority of their audience if they had left out their "quibs" and stuck to their music. They had a large crowd at both evenings entertainments.

J. W. Black fine stock sale, last Wednesday. I just had a short visit with Geo. Stone,
the famous left fielder of the St. Louis base ball

he returns to Coleridge and assists
regularly in the Commercial State Bank.

who saves his money he is now fast approaching
the position where he can be independent.
