A Mass Meeting. To The Editor of The Gazette: We desir to state through the me- dium of your paper, that through the kindness of the Speaker and House of Representatives, the colored citizens of Little Rock have been accorded the privilege of holding a public meeting in the hall of the House of Representatives tonight, Tuesday, January 27, at 7:30 p.m., for the purpose of stating their position (which has been somewhat misstated) upon the Separate Car bill, which is now pending before the Legislature of our state. The public generally are respect- fully invited to attend, and the mem- bers of both Houses of the Legisla- ture particularly. Good order will be maintained and the best sentiment expressed. Naught will be said to offend the most fas- tidious. Respectfully. THE COLORED CITIZENS.
