The corner stone ot the George R.
Smith college, Scdalif, was laid on
the 1st of, Mine. The college is named
in honor of n Virgiian bybirlb.who
grew to manhood ia Kentucky and
settled Petttt county. Mo., in 1833.
General Smith wAa a slsvtholder by
inheritance, bnt he became, when the
lines were drawn.'an enemy of slavery
and a believer in the devclopemout of
the freed people. He sold lots in Se
dalla (of whtch city bo wns the found
er) on easy terms to the colored people,
nnd designed to devote Bovcrnl lots to
the creotion for their ubo of a High
school building but died before bis
plan wns coMunrnatod. The duugn'
teia of General Smith, with n view to
commemorating their father's name
and principles, donated in 1888 twenty
five ncrcs of bind to the futinding of u
college fur the colored people. The
cuterprieo waa prosecuted under tbo
auspices of the Freeman's Aid and
Southern Educilionul escrety, and
now the corner stone has Icon luid.
It is expected the $50,000 college bud
ding will be fiuisbed ia November aud
the COO students which tho college
hTiifor with whichwillacc-mmudate will iu due time bo

The history of the George R. Smith
college bo fur illustrates that, in re
gard to tbo colored people ot this
country, it in tbo unexpected that
happens. Thero was n timo when no
body could huvo oxpected n man of
General Smith's birth, breeding aud
antecedents to consider the possibili

timo when ho white community ouuhl
