What Montgomery Is doing DEXTER AVENUE NOTES. BAPTIST The pastor and members of the Dexter Avenue Baptist Church congratulate The Emancipator upon its advent into Montgomery. We congratulate the race spirit that actuated men at its head to undertake such an enterprise, and we congratulate Montgomery upon its success in securing this much-needed possession. We bespeak for The Emancipator unbounded succes first, because its editorial staff is composed of upright, Christian gentlemen, well versed in journalism and, therefore, can be trusted to keep only those things before the public which will inspire and uplift the race. Secondly, because it is starting upon such a bread basis a paper by the people for the people.

Last, but greatest of all, The Emancipator has made the Church of Christ the keystone in its structure. Opening its columns to the churches of the city is a step in advance in the right direction.

As long as The Emancipator keeps this high moral standard, it will have our hearty support.
