Mrs. Trusty remarked that she belonged to several asso- ciations, in which the line had been broken down, and she believed if they had the word would do harm (a ght of Heaven. Had they struck out the word colored years ago we would bave been better off. Other organiza- tiops had struck out the word whi ored representatives in Congress and gov- errors of the states, and why should we re- tain the name. Mr. Boston said that the word colored was the highest feather in bis cap. Prof. A. M. Green said the word white Was the bar and not the word colored.

At this rural retreat is situated what is known as «The Laurel Cotton Mill.” Employing over two hundred hands, a large majority of whom are females, it contributes in nosmall measure to the commercial wealth of the State.
