Marshall) Is it not with a sense o f deepest re­ gret that we watch the passing o f the OLD-FASHIONED DARKY. Like with everything else, though perhaps with little more noticable designs, Father Time works his strange evolu­ tions on man. We have watched it’s effect' upon the red race, the yellow, the brown, the white. We have mar­ veled at the change in the American Ind'an, The awakening o f China has given the world cause fo r alarm and vast fields fo r enterprise and con­ quest. Enughtment has reached far into the snow fields o f the polar circle and deep into the jungles o f the tropics. We liavd stood amazed at the strides,' leaps and bounds,of the white man,-and m the turmoil o f advance­ ment,'invention, mystery and discov­ ery we have all but forgotten the colored man o f .America until we sud­ denly come to realize that he has un­ dergone a very startling change.' Why—rwhere is the "Old Uncle Tfcnri,” the lovable “ tender . hearted, "Old Aunt Dina.’’ Those dear meek, simple natured. colored folks that seem to stand as a halo o f Heaven's own blessing about the reccollections of childhood. Is it possible that they have d is a p ­ peared with the days that can be brought back only in memory? The hospitable cabin home, the pathetic southern songs, the gloomy ghost stories, the corn-pone, the coon houn’, the knarly hand ^Vrirn with years of toil, black, yet white ill Heaven's eye which is all that matters. Gone, all gone save a relic here and there, like the one I call to mind in the little poem. OHIONEWS CUT TOTHEQUICK PO’ OLE MOSE D (By FVF, M.)
