My Dear Friend: Sample copy of The Monitor, your new publication, received, and I wish to thank you very much for the same. It is bright and newsy, and it is worthy of the support of every citizen of Omaha who has the interest and welfare of the colored race at heart. I do not recognize the colored race as a part separate and distinct from any other race, but I do recognize it as a part of God’s great family of human beings, and I say this without any mental or other reservation. Being a southem-bom former dem ocrat (even what that means), and taught to intensely hate and despise the Negro, after traveling consider ably in this and foreign countries, and then becoming a student of econom ics (working class kind), I dismissed my prejudices and have become in tensely interested in the welfare ox' my brothers of whatever nationality, color or previous condition of servi tude. Wishing you and your co-workers every success which you so richly de serve, I will say in conclusion that you can number me as one of your subscribers. Fraternally, JESSE T. BRILLHART, 2703 Famam St. FUGITIVE “PERSONALS.” “Mrs. Vance has just had her ell shingled.” “Our fellow townsman, -, met with a double bereavement last week. His brother Cyrus died over in -and a fine yearling heifer of blooded stock passed away by fall ing into an old well.” “A. B., our genial postmaster, left for New York yesterday. Mrs. B. re mained at home as A. went simply for a little pleasure trip.” “Don’t nurse a Grouch. Knock it in the head and bury it.” PATRONIZE OUR ADVERTISERS.
