The Colored Park
The colored people held a modern
park opening at their new park in
the eastern suburbs of the city on
Thursday evening and according to
reports they had a good time, music
and dancing being the prevailing fea
tares of the occasion. We are inform
ed that some of our young white
folks (well, moBtof them were young),
attracted by the music, entered and
D(-gan walking around to take a view
of the whole getup, when they were
politely informed that the park was
for the exclusive use of the colored
people Now, how could they be
more polite about it than that; it is
for them only, bo we would udvipe our
young people not to kick at the polite
invitation not to attend, but leave
them to enjoy the exclusive use of
their park, as they have a right to
do. '
Ask Your Friend)
Who have taken flood's Sarsaparilla
what they th nk of it, and the replies
will be positive in its fat or. One
has been cured of indig stion and
dyspepsia, and another floda it indis
pensable for sick headach, others re
port remarkable cures of scrofula
salt rheum and other blood diseases,
still others will tell you that it over
comes " that tired feeling," aud so on.
Truly,' the best advertising which
Hood's Sarsaparilla receives is the
hearty endorsement of the army of
friends it has woo by its positive
medicinal merit.
Th Con federate Veterans.
Next Tuesday there will be a large
number of Confederate Veterans In
camp at Wright Bville, and it becomes
the duty of all our people to look af
ter tbir comfort in the. best manner
possible. Although we feel sure that
the people of Wilmington will do all
that lies in their power to render
them comfortable, yet, it is not
reasonable that the entire burden
should be left upon our sister city.
So far as we bae heard, Raleigh has
made no contribution towards the oc
casion This Is not as it should be,
considering that the Soldier's Homo

the capital of the State. Let all who
can, give towards the noble purpose.
Our contemporary, the Chronicle has
generously consented to ' take charge
of, and forward all donations sent to
It Let oer people respond promptly.
