COLORED SCHOOLS.
Rev. F T Logan, principal.
Owing to the very irregular en
trance of pupi3 in the colored
ichool, it ha3 been almost impossible
'to keep a fair and accurate record ;
therefore,thcre is no . tabulated re
port.for this school th;3 month. In
order that the Echool may aecorn.-
plish it3 aim 3 it is necessary that
pupils enter as early as possible.
During the three week3 sinco the
opening of tne school only 92 pupils
have been enrolled, although over
240 children hold tickets of ad
mission. I trust that during this
month those who are holding: back
will enter, bo that we may accom
plis Jfte most good possible.
The schools, both white arid coh
ored, are much better organized this
term than last, and better work is
being done by both . teachers ' and
pupilsh. The aboye report of the
white school shows the attendance
to be the best we haTe ever had, and
I earnestly hope it will continue so.
The roll of honor will be resumed
this month, find punctual 1md resrus
lar attendance 13 necessary to secure
a place thereon.'
again incite parents and all
citizens to visit the schools
at any
time. lou will not be nr tne way,
but m.iy be a great help to ns.
Respectfully,
E, P. Man gum, Sup't.

Mr, o Corrects a Statement of the
Observer's Correspondent.
I notice in yesterday's Observer a
"special" from Concord nvhich con
talr. several falsehoods in regard to
myeelf and the burning of my cots
ton house. "" The fire took place on
Monday mcrning, instead of Sunday
as stated, This error'is admissible
and hardly worthy of notice, but
when the writer of that special says
that I am a "red hot" Third party
man he prevaricates shamefully. 1
he always been a Democrat The
statement that I am disposed to
think the Cre of Democratic incen
diary origin, is an unqualified falses
hood, and I have never entertained
for a iroioent the idea that . Demo
crats, or members of any other party
hud anything to.do with starting the
fire. Some negroes are under strong
suspicion and I think I will have
complete proof in a day or two.
Trusting you will give this a
place in your wit issue, I nm,
Very respectfully, .

Icfj.Tt.iJe by Natural Gas.
An inventor in Buffalo has de
jriscd a process for making Ice by
utilizing the intense cold created by the
expansion of natural gas when liberat
ed from the high pressure at which it
issues from the wells. In the experi
mental plant the gas is used at its ini
tial pressure of from 150 to 200 pounds
to drive a small engine. After use in
the eng.'na the gas eihausts into a
closed box, and the expansion gener
ates sufficient cold to form slabs of ioe
three inches thick to the amount of
three-quarters of a ?on in a day.
It Is claimed that the principle can

A PuMlo Prescription.
The celebrated physician, Dr. Jacoby,
was walking along Broadway one day
when he met an old gentleman who wac
rery rich, but who was at the same tin
coted for his extreme stinginess. The okl
man, who was somewhat at a hypochon
driac, imagined that he could get soma
medical advice from Jacoby without pay
ing for it. "Doctor, I am feeling very
poorly." "Where do you suffer most?"
In my stomach, docto?' "Ah, that's
bad. Please shut your eyes. That's
right. Now put out your tongue, so that I
can examine it closely. H The Invalid did
as he was told. After he had waited pa
tiently for about ten minutes he opened
Jiia eyes-and feund himself surrounded by
a crowd who supposed that he was crazy.
