Transcriber's Note: In researching old newspapers, remember the time period that is being researched and the "norms" for that period.

While I do not want to offend anyone, I will transcribe articles EXACTLY as they are written for the historical/genealogical value that can be found in them. They do not express my values or opinions, or anyone with the TXGenWeb project.

"SCHOOL FOR COLORED CLOSED LAST FRIDAY"---Without ceremony or much-a-do, the school for colored children in Menard closed last Friday. This is the first year a school has been provided for the colored children. A six months term was had this year with between twenty and thirty pupils enrolled.

NOTE: While I strive for accuracy in all transcriptions, please be advised that typing errors may be present. I would suggest you always verify my online information with a copy of the actual record.
