MORTON
(CONTINUED PROM OTHER SIDE.)
We had the pleasure of listen
ing to an able discourse by the
Rev. Bailey of Wynne, last Sun
day on the subject, “Prepare to
meet thy God. ”
Our Sunday School failed to
materialize for want of a super
intendent. However, we had
some good music, led by Messrs.
Jas. Cain and Jas. Trobaugli,
ably assisted by Miss Tora Cain
and Mr. Desha.
The general assembly should
have passed some law to make
the rail-road men pay for stock
killed by the cars. Nearly §500
worth of stock have been killed
at Morton within tw > or three
months and not a dollar has been
paid to the owners.
The old minstrel gag points a 1
excellent moral. It is this: A
colored man comes into the
group on the stage with a bill in
his hands and says: "Any of
you lest a two dollar bill? T just
picked one up here outside the
door.” No one has los: it, but

the end man reminds the tinder
that he owes him S2, and that
now will be a good time to pay.
The debt is paid, and the note is
passed on. Thus the bill goes
from one to another untilitcom.es
to a colored man who owes £2 to
the original finder of the bill, and
then it returns to the man it
started with. Just after he re
ceives it a white man rushes in
and calls out, ‘'any of you picked
up a two-dollar bill? f dropped
one a few minutes ago outside
this door.” ‘‘Here’s your two
doliar bill, boss,” says the tinder;
“you can have it, but we've all
done paid our debts.”—Little
Rock Times.
