Howell, pistor of Blount Street Baptist Church, is earnestly en gaged raising funds for the indebtedness of the church. He is having good suc cess, and we bid him God speed. Mai. W. W. Vass, who was a distin guished and very highly respected citizen died last Monday morning about 9 o'clock at his residence on the corner or Halifax and Edenton Streets. His death came suddenly. Mr. W. II. Chamblee, one of our fusion County Commissioners had his name placed on our subscription list last Mon day. Mr. Chamblee is a man of good sound judgment and will make aeplendid officer for the county. Prof. Debnam left last Sunday, a m., on the Atlanta Special for Edenton to at tend the meeting of the Grand Lodge of Masons which convened there this week. Prof. Debnam is Di tsictand also W. M., of Widows' Sons' Lodge, No. 4. The Willing Worker's Club was organ ixad in the interest of the Blount Street Baptist Church, and is doini? good work for that purpose. Mrs. R. J. Lacy, who is President of the club, is due much plaise for the faithful work she is doing. The Biblical Recorder speaks about Judge Norwood's intemperance and says: " This is not the first time such digrace ful conduct has been reported of Judge Norwood. He seems to be a hopeless subject of strong drink. He ought to re sign for his own sake. If he does not, he ought to be impeached. The bench should be kept above reproach, above all other parts of the government." Terry Ilinton Killed by a Train. Mr. Perry Hinton, of Method, was run over and killed by the S. A. L. passenger train, No. 41, last Saturday afternoon in the vicinity of Boylan's bridge, or near the perjitestiary. Mr Hinton was walk ing leisurely along the track and the train was running at the rate of about ten miles an hour. Engineer Allen tegan blowing his wh'stle and Hinton, we learn, without locking around, began to run along the track, the engineer whistling loudly all the time. The train was stopped as soon as possible, but not until Ilinton was struck, the engine and ex press car wheels passing over him, cut ting both legs (II just above the ankles, the skull also being fractured. Hinton was taken to the hospital and rendered all medical aid possible. He died some time during the night and was buried in the country the next day. It is paid that no blame is attached to the railroad company ; that he met his death by taking too great a riek by re maining on the track too long. Mr. Hin ton is paid to have been a sober, industri ous and reliable roan. Strange to say, his father was killed about three years ago in the same manner, on the same railroad and near the same place. People are in the habit of walking too careless on the railroad tracks. Railroad companies are constantly warning peo ple of this very thing and its danger. The entertainment given t Mr. Jef. frejs' Hall, in the Fourth Ward, is de lightful. When you want to enjoy your self call down. Messrs. W. F. Debnam, C. H. Higga and James H. Young left this week to attend the meeting of the Grand Lodge of Masons at Edenton. Sheriff Jones' first official act was to appoint for his chief clerk Mr. R C. Riv ers, foreman of the Caucasian office. An excellent appointment. Mr. CM. Howe, of Leonard Medical School, subscribed for the Gazette and ordered it sent to his mother, Mrs. F. E. Howe, of Brooklyn, N. Y. Mr. and M'S. W. J. Claytor, of Method, had a very tine baby to torn them Friday of last week. At last accounts the mother was faring well we are glad to note. Meeting of County Public School Teachers. According to call the public Fcbool teachers of Wake county met at the Blount Strett Baptist Church, November 19, 1896, at 12.45 o'cLck, for the purpose of forming a County Teachers' Associa tion, in order that more efficient work may be done in the district schools of Wake. Having assembled, Mr. S. C. Dixon called the meeting to order, and aoked Revs. A. B. Vincent, A. M., of Raleigh, and W. M. Brown, of Apex, to conduct the devotional exercise with singing and prayer. 'After the meeting was opened Mr. Dixon stated, in well-chosen remarks, the object of the call, and the great need of doing something to improve the con dition of the public schools, as the times demand better organized plans to that end. The teachers prepent Veing highly pleased to have Rev. A. B. Vincent, (for merly a teacher at Shaw, but at present Missionary of the middle district of the State, under the auspices of the co-operative movement of the Baptists of Noith Carolina) to make a few remarks. Prof. Vincent highly commended the effort put forth by the teachers of Wake. Prof. Vincento-ia always alive to any effort for the betterment of the race. Having listened to the helpful remarks made by the different teachers, steps were put forward for the purpose of as certaining the necessary information concerning the present condition of af fairs pertaining more particularly to teachers themselves. Accordingly a committee of three was appointed: Messrs. S. C. Dixon, J. A. Bulla loe and W. H. Dowd, to meet the County Commissioners on their next sit ting. This committfe will also prepare a programme for the next meeting of the County Teachers' Association. The time for the next meeting of the teachers will be announced hereafter. The fallowing persons' names were en rolled: Messrs. S. C. Dixon, Rileigh: J. A. Buffaloe, Apex; W. H. Dowd, R-l-eigh; B. P. Peterson, West Raleigh; W. A. Jones, Raleigh; B M. Montague, Pett; Prof. A. B. Vincent. A. M., Ral eigh; J. Levi-ter, Shaw Univerbity; R. J. Lacy. Raleigh; Misses B. E. Bjokrum, Apex; Annie S. Lockhart, Raleigh; Mrs. E. A. Page; Messrs. Thos. Morrison, New Hill; M. F. Jones, Raleigh; R. E. Blake, Raleigh; A. Strowd, Cary; M. VV. Brown, Apex. It is hoped that the Association will re alize some very pleasant results in trying to do something for the cause of educa tion, which must advnnce with the times if our Commonwealth would be secure. J. L. m m m The New Board of County Commission- ers The Old Hoard Passes Out and the New One Takes Hold. On last Monday, according to law. the new Board of C.mnty C mmissioners Messrs. J. B. Hill, Rufus Barbee and W. H. Chamblee, the gentlemen who were elected last election to succeed the old Democratic Board appeared about 1 1 :30. Mr. W. C. Stronach, in putting the mo tion for the old B ard to adjourn, in a very pleasant speech said: '"1 hope that our successessors will meet their duties with promptness, success and much pleasute to themselves." Maj. Hill arose and in like manner thanked Mr. Scronach for his kind words and well wishes. The new Board then organized. Maj. J. B. H'H was unanimously elected chair man. Maj. Hill expressed his thanks for the honor conferred upon him, which came unexpectedly. The firtt business of the new Bjard was the election of Mr. J. C. L. Harris, county attorney, in the place of Mr. Jones. The bonds of Treas urer Knight, Register of Deeds Rogers. Clerk of the Court Young, and Sheriff Jones were accepted. The gent'emen who compose the new Bard Mjor J. B. Hill, Republican; Messrs. Rut us Barbee aud W. H. Cham blse, Populists bid fair to make Wake county three of the moat competent, re liable and respectful officers she has ever had. It seemed that dispatching the business as Chairman for toe new Bard was no new thing with Maj. Hill. Maj. Hill is possessed with that executive abil ity to move all business for the county and State successfully that may be placed in his care. The county officers gave good and sound bjnds as good as the State and county requires. Everything worked just like a top. The fusion Legislature of two years ago made it possible for officers in the S ate, when elected (I mean b Hided officers), to give their bonds, if necessary, bv trust companies. Treasurer Knight and Regi-tter of Derds Rogers' bonds were given by the Balti more Trust Company. Sherff J mis' bond was given by Mrs. E. A Carver, Mr. J. W. Jones and al. o a Btltim re Company. Clerk Young's bond was given by the Sitne partie s as before. No more, as long th Republican and Populibts remain in con -red of the affairs of this State, will Republicans, white or black, and al-:o Populists, when they are hones:Iy elected to serve the people of their different counties, Je prevented from giving their bond by Democratic Boards of County C min:ssiorie8. I nay : No more of it. W. S. M. Grand Banquet. The voung men of the Royal Pleasure Club, No. 1, gave their annual White and Green Barquet Thanksgiving night. Nov. 26th, 1896, attherefri Jer ce f Mr. II. C. Hent e. Promptly at 8:30 o'clock the guests arrived. The ladies looked charm, ing and the gentlemen were at their best- The introduction of the guests was given by Pres. E. II. Rogers at nine o'clock, followed promptly by a selection from Whittier by Miss Sarah E. Smith. Sele ton from Byron Mits Altertha McClain. Selection from Tennyson Mis Nita D. Rogers. Supper was announced at 1030 sharp, when the guests repaired to the dining room whre the following toasts were given: Welcome Mr. Wm. PJummer; Thanksgiving M1ss Eliza L. Rayner; The Ladies Mr. E. H. Rogers; Ti e Gen tlemen Miss Ula L. Rogers; R. P. C Mr. E. J. Parish. The Offices Not For New Converts. Scotland Neck, N. C, Nov. 30, 1896. Editor Gazette: Allow me space in your valuable papf r tp say a few words to the Republican party : I think we should be very careful about those who send in petition) for offices. I think they should be required to show that they are old Republicans and not new converts who have vo'ed the Republican ticket only once or twice, and have just- come into our party. They may be good men, but let it be required of them aleo to show that they are good Republicans, and at least no harm will be done. Your Republican Friend John S. Shields. . Rocky Mount Grits. The fnow, the beautiful enow, has come and gone, and at this writing we are having August weather. Mr. George M. Mitchell returned from Morristown, N. J., where he hsd been attending a trial of. the Safety and Loan Company, of Syracuse, N. Y., last Sat urday. M.S9 Lula Graham, formerly of i Kocky Mount, returned with him. Mrs. H. M. Parker returned from Rich mond, Va., last week, wusre the had been visiting Mr. and Mrs. Edward Bunn. Hon. Jas. H. Young stopped iu our city last Sunday, en route to E lent n, where the Grand Lodge of Masons con vened this week. , We are extremely sorry to have to note the death of Mr. Wiley BpJdie, formerly of Rocky Mount, but la e cf Pniladel phia. lie very receitly married Miss Mary Hines, near Pleasant Hill, Edge combe county, and made their future home in Pniladeiphia. We extend our our sympathies to the bereaved families. It certainly is a matter of indecency for colored men to hang around while bar-rooms and defame men of their race, especially when they themselves are not without fault. We would advise them to look for something to do, instead of throwing away what they have already earned for a little killing whiskey. The meanest enemv a colored man has is of hisown race. We can never succeed as a race until our colored people are taught to respecteachother'sinterett. We speak of this as a matter of conversation we overheard in passing a bar-room in this to vn one day last week. Tcere teems to be a bard fight on for the postmastership in this town. We give below the list of names of the whites who are applicants: Messrs. John N. Taylor, G. W. Rjbbirs, J. G. S lyder. On the part of co orrd applicants: Profeassors I. D. Bar geir, M. M. Hines, and Mrs. Rena J. Person, the wite of senator-elect and for mer postmaster, VV. Lte Person. Who will be the successful candidate cannot be foretold just now. But if the will of the people b recognized, then either Mr. Hargett or M. M. Hines will receive the appointment. Bat if the people's choice is not recognized (which we believe Con gressman White will, under no circum stances, ignore), some of the other can didates will receive the appointment. It is being charged that Professor Har gett is not competent; that he could not keep the tally sheet in making out the election returns. This kind of talk is tomfoolery, and falls flat wi.h jut notice. Everybody who is acquainted wiih Mr. Htrgett knows that he has an efficient education and is capable of attending to any business genially that could b of fered him. The s tine charge is teing made against Mr. Hints that le s not competent when it is fully known that Mr. H nes lemained in school for five years aud has his diploma. Mr. Hines and Mr. llargett boh ki ow that a ten tence begins with a capital letter and ends with a period, and that it is bad learning to use capital letters in the mid dle of sentences. This kit d of oprosi'ion is uncalled for. Make a manful fight if you oppose these gentlemen; do not mis represent, the people do not believe it. There are eome of the candidates we are deadly opposed to, and we endeavor to give a gentlemanly reason therefor. Mtssrs. Hrns and llargett have agreed to make a friendly fight for the position. They should be commended, and their many friends should rally to their sup port. Each of them is getting some strong endorsements already. We al ways thought it a poor way of doing business to underrate a-iy man becausj jou disagree with him. These gentle men, it is true, did not canvass, as some others, but should this debar them? The emancipation celebration, on the first of January, will be continued by celebrating the great victory won on No vember 3 by the Republican party of the State and nation. Ten thousand people will be in Rocky Mount that day. Let every one take hold and have a grand day a day that will excel all others ever held in the history of our freedom. Our country people should bestir themselves from now out. Let no friction exist. W. S. A. Cape Fear Happenings. A wet, disagreeable week opened up along the Cape Fear, and about the mid dle of the week sleet and snow vh-ited our city and gave everything the sombre appearar ce Qf midwinter, so unlike the balmy weather of week before lat. There were some very rotable Repub licans gathered in the metropolis last week, among them being Senator Pritch ard, Judge Ewart, Major Grant, Col. J. E. Boyd, the Hon. Chas. E. Price, and two others whom we did not meet. On Friday afternoon Senator Pritchard held an informal celebration in the mayor's private office, and was presented to the citizens by City Clerk and Treasurer F. B. Rice. Prof. Jas. B Dudley, of the A. & M. College at Greensboro, is in the city, on his way to the Masonic Grand Lodge, which convenes in Edenton this week. He speaks very encouragingly of the fu ture in his new field of labor. When my letter shall have reached you our new county officers elect will have taken charge of affairs at the new court house and our Democratic friends will be conspicuous by their absence. Mean while sp h ulation is rife as to who will rill the various appointive officers to be h Id under the new administration. We are not desirous of being clamorous, but shall make firm and reasonable demands, among which we want zealous advocates of race progress on the echoed board, men who will know their rights and dare maintain them, for the educated ar.d in telligent man always makes the best citi zen. Mr. Jno. Quince and MissRachael Hef lin werejiappily united in matrimony at tliH home of the bride's mother on South Seventh sweet last Wednesday right. Messs. J shua Greene, Sr.,E. Lan, D. W. II .ward, Robert MuD nald, G T. Dixon, Jno. T. Howe,R. L. Hmchiusand Prof. J. B. Dadl.y left the city Monday morning for Edenton. m m m A Negro Artist. The Eighteenth Annual Fair of the North Carolina Industrial Afsociation held in Raleigh, November, 1896, awarded to William H. Dowd, of Raleigh, a diploma and some ciflh for the best crayon portraits of hisown drawing. We t-hould be proud of one o' our race who has tuch an artistic brain. W. II. Dowd, out of a clafs of eleven, is the only one that has met with success. He guarantees a true copy or no pay. He has done more work for white than col ored, but he works for anybody. Below is only a few names as reference. Ciil at their houses, and see the work of W II. Diwd. Portrait Artist: Hon. Jas. H. Young, Rile'gh, N. C. Mrs. Jas. H. Young, Raleigh, N. C. Hon. C. W.

A Few Political Snaps from Wallace. Fusion w.,n in Duplin by from four to fwven hundred. We only expected to pull through t-y about six hundred. Ho! Bet ttr than we expected. Tha eUction is over. It certainly was sober, but it did not fail to turn the Dem ocrats over. Don't you hear? We told j ou so. McKinley by 1,000,000 majority, pop ular votes, by 25 States against 20; by 277 electoral votes against 170. What's the matter with Rover? To be sure there must be something rotten in Democratic At the Sand Hill School House, near Wallace, on Saturday night following the election, six rounds were shot by the boys, to-wit, one for McKinley, one for Russell, one for Pritchard, one for the Legislature, one for Duplin County, and one for the whole Republican party. Each round was followed by a hurrah for whom or what it was shot. You may imagine the glee. Democrats and Populists, as well as Republicans, seem to be looking for bet ter times under the administration of McKinley and Russell, from the way Rtrawberries are being set outand etored. You bet they have not forgotten the good times of the past from the hands ot the Grand Old Party. Let Pritchard be returned to the Uni ted State s Senate by the Legislature-elect. The whole South needs him there to ad vocate the protection of her raw mate rials. He has proven his'value in that direction. Therefore let him be returned. Hurrah! North Carolina's n-xt Gov ernor is a Republican, in the person of the Hon. D. L. Russell, of the Cape Fear s. ciion. What a favorable event in these days of needed reform! Well, the peo ple have decreed it. Tnen to let it be. Tne Populist party need not forget that the Democratic party ha3 no hopes of de stroying the Rpuulic.n party of the State unless they can get bold of the election law. It is the Populibt party they expect, by their chicanery and cry of Negro! Negro! Negro! to wipe out. It is earnestly hoped that this Legisla ture will give t he State sufficie nt revenue laws to afford four months school in each year in every school district in the S .me, as the Constitution directs. Perhaps the Dem crats would not kick agains that, as they so emphatically call their party the p-rty of the constitution. We thiiik that we can irutbfully that the new election law has stood the tet and proved the best for honest and fair ejections. We do not think it needs any change. Good men of all parties speak we 11 of it. It is a fact well understood that a large majority (at least three-fourths) of the fusion forces of North Carolina want Jeter C. Pritchard returned to the United States S. nate to succeed himself. Now the ques ion is. Shall the will of this vast majority of said forces be carried out by the incoming Legislature or that of the enemy (the Democrats), who would do almost anything, or vote for almost any body of a different political party to de feat Mr. Pi itchard not eo much from opposition to his monetary views, as becausa the word Rjpull.can" describes his political faith. We wid see. The Dtmjcratic party and papers want Marion Butler to make sure the defeat of Jeter Pritchard now. But two years ago they want d Pritchard & Co. to de feat Butler. Don't you hear and. can't you see? Some of the Democratic papers of the State are now howling themselves hoarse about the few Negro magistrates elected in several counties of the State. Well, we fully believe tbey want something of the kind to howl about. In Rocky Point township, Pender County, where all the magistrates elected are colored, one of the places was offered to Mr. Charley Sparkman (white), a well-to-do farmer, who accepted the nomination up to the morning of the election and then de clined, even after there had been twenty five or forty votes ca6t for him. We learn, also, that in 1894 W. W. Miller (a Democrat), of the same township, was appointed as magistrate by the Fusion Legislature, and that he refuted either to accept or qualify until he was re-appointed by the Governor Democrats and their papers deserve watching by the Populists and Republi cans, for they will iesort to almost any thing in order to defeat further Repuoli can -Populist fusion, and get in once more themselves. We have eiftimes heard Democrats say that they had rather see Negroes till tee offices than to see Marion Bntler and his crowd fill them. Demo crats need locating nowadays. Tbey are everywhere and nowhtre. They are everybody's friend and nobody's friend, politically. They are constantly after the Negroes about putting Populists in in office, and, on the other hand, after the Populists if a few Negroes happen to get in office about Negro dominion! Negro dominion! when they no more fear such a thing, nor see the possibility of it, than they do the President of Li beria ruling this country. They have made it a rule to ask all Democrats to decline, imd sometimes abuse them when they do not do it, in case Negroes nomi nated them for office, and then cursed the Negroes for electing one of their own number. They atked Judge Clark to come off the ticket of the Fusion party in 1891, yet if it had beed possible tbey would have got on ench a ticket them selves in 1896. Now where are they at? The whole truth of it s, they don't want anybody elected t) office but themselves, and they don't care how they get there either, and dont you forget it either. 1. M. Powers. Thanksgiving Exercises at the Washing ton Graded School. At three o'clock the teachers and pu pils, with a number of parents, gathered in the assembly room to listen to an at tractive programme, consisting of songs, recitations, solos and declamations that had I een arranged for the occ asion. The children did ciedit to themselves and teachers. Dr. Curtis delivered a very pracli al address to the children, at the close of which the little ones came forward with their offerings for the poor. Nearly every child gave something. The offerings consisted of provisions and clothing about two wagon loads- and $2.10 in cash. These exercises are really an advance step in practical education, for the pupil, about 425 in number, entered heartily into the spirit of the occasion, and seemed to be prompted by the divine injunction: "It is more blessed to give than to re ceive." ' The teachers are: L. B. Capehart, Prin cipal; Mrs. Hunter, Mrs. Richardson, Mrs. King, Mrs. Mitchell, Mrs. Branch and Misses Whitaker and Love. Bicycles. Mr. Editor: It is said that bicycle riding is one of the leading sports of the dy, but I venture to say that it is more than that: it is the leading and best exer cise of the day. And anyone desiring to acquaint himself with this fact, we wish to r commend for his choice one of the most durable and finest constructed wheels that is handled by any wheelman. viz.: " the Warwick." The writer spent the summer vacation in Philadelphia, and was an agent for the above-name i wheel under the titie cf Penn Bicjcle Co., and it is evident that during the time, and previous to the time the writer was an ageat, the Company eold 1,500 War wick wheels, and 5 per cent, has not been returned for repair. We mention tion this as one of the many facts that concern that wheel for the consideration of the present and future riders. O. B. Baldwin, Shaw University. MAJ. J. B. HILL FOR U. S. MARSHAL. His Same Old Place He Is the Man for - the Place) Xo Belter Man Can be Found iu the State. It would give us much pleasure, as well as it would his many friends of the en tire Eastern District, to see Maj. J. B. Hill appointed to his same old place as U S Marshal for the Eastern District, which be has held from time to time with highest credit to himself, the S ate and to the general government. He is a man (though a Btaunch Republican) of the very-highest qualities, and he so con ducted himself while in office, and all through his dealings as a business man in his community, as to command the re spect and esteem of everybody that know him at home, and throughout the State, regardless of party. - Major H ll's services in the Republican cause and interest makes him worthy of any appointment by the Government in the State. We hear that Major Hill will be ap pointed to his same eld place. We hope this will prove true, for It will give uni versal pleasure to the people of this city and the entire State. W. S. M. Silver Day. A Grand Silver Rally at Wake Chap pel, Wakefield. N. C, Dec. 6, 1890, for the benefit of Hickory Grove Academy. The people in every adjoining county is invited to attend this meeting, and con tribute liberally for the grand purpose. We want a general coming together of a 11 the people to the support of this noble object and causa. There will be several distinguished di vines to address you on this occasion an occesion that shou'd meet the approval of every right thinking man or woman. We hope the editor will try to meet us on that day, for we know as a represen tative of Wake county he is interested in their welfare. Once more 'allow me to repeat. Lt everybody come and give a noble push. Kespec fully, Rev. D. S. Saulter, Principal. SALE OF LAND TO MAKE ASSETS.

Tbe Uni versity is located in the village of Ooer lin, N. C.one and one-half miles west of the capitol building in the city. The lo cation is the very best for a school, being out of the busy city, but within eay reach by means of the electric streetcars. It is enough to say, that there has not been a single case of serious illness since the establishment of the school. Each dormitory is h ated by stoves and hearths, so every necessary comfort is pecured. The terms are very teasonable $7 50 per month. Those desiring to reduce their expenses by work will be taken at the lowest possible rates: young men f 6 40 per month ; young women $5.40 per month; day students $1 per month. A small incidental fee will be chaiged. The school will reopen on the 7th day of October, 1897. Our purpose is to make it one of the largest echo U in the South for the race. Law and Medicine will be added. The institution is wholly non sectarian in its religious instruction or influence. Yet earnest attention will be given to Bible study, applying its truths to daily life and conduct, that a thorough Christian character may be obtained. It is open to all s uients of either sex. None but competent teachers will be em ployed.' . x For further information, address the President, Rev. M. L. Latta. D. D. I will le tve for the North and Europe the Utter part of December or the first of January, and will return time enough to have building completed by the re opening of the school.

Recognized as a Great, Safe, Clean Family Paper A Force in Public Affairs and Potent for Entertainment and Cul ture of Every Member of the Family. A COLORED SUPPLEMENT WITH THE SEMI-WEEKLY. There Is a place Iu the United States for a weekly of reully high Intellectual quality, and the American people have given THE NKW" YORK TRIBUNE a lavish welcome. During tbe past year THE WEEKLY was token tn over v!45,000 families and read by about I 250.000 people. Every effort will be made to brighten and enrich tbe paper and make it necessary to thousauds of new friends. Patriotic, elf-res pectlDg, enterprising, THE TRIBUNE is fearless and scholarly In edito rial comment on public affairs, steadfast in principle, and not whirled about with every gust of passion; and it exhibits in every isfcue the truly American qualities of quickness, di rectness, brilliancy aud force. It has won from Democratic rivals, by its thoroughly Ameri can spirit, the admission that it "commands the respect of all parties." In directing atten tion, early and pointedly, to the availability of McKinley and Hobart for the Kepublican nominations in 189'i, THE TRIBUNE played a now well known and tmpnrttint part. THE WEEKLY TRIBUNE ministers to all the sweet and wholesome Interests of life: and it is distinctly a paper for families and for those who want the spirit and the editorials of the leading Republican taper of the United Slates. It has an excellent Agricultural page, a page of Science and Mechanics, a charming page especially for women, a strong array of market reports of unchallenged excellence, and book reviews, foreign letters, and bright miscellany, in addition to the Dewsofths week. It can usually be subscribed for with local county weeklies. Sample copies free. THE SEMI-WEEKLY Is printed on Tues day and Friday, and gives twice as much mat ter as The Weekly. Thecravlng for color on the part of (he young, and even of other members of a family, has now been recognized by THE SEMI-WEEKLY TRIBUNE In the publication of a colored tup- Flementof IS pages, with each Friday's paper, f not gratified in a proper way, the liking for pictures and innocent bright reading matter will incline many to seen in less desirable, pub lications that which they cannot find In their favorite paper. The jokes and quaint para graphs, and the fifty or more political car toons, humorous sketches and half-toues, and other amusing contents of the co ored supple ment will prove a welcome addition to the wither and weightier parts of the paper. It Is printed on superfine paper, and its 10 pages are themselves fully worth the price of the EM I WEEKLY. Sold separat ly, as a pictorial weekly, "Twinkles" readily brihgs 6 cents a copy, and In the course of a year the reader would receive more than he has paid for THE TRIBUNE Itself. The piquant comicalltlesof the supplement will lend new value to bound volumes and make each copy valuable long after the date of publication. This edition is not offered in combination with local weeklies. The colored supplement will be sent only to subscribers who forwaid the regular price of the SEMI-WEEKLY, 12.00 a year, to THE TRIBUNE direct. Sample copies of Friday's SEMI-WEEKLY free.
