Description

"A negro woman in Platte County, near Platte City, recently gave birth to 4 children. Mother and children are doing as well as could be expected." St. Joe Herald (St. Joseph Herald)" This will be news to the white citizens of Platte City, but as the Herald affects to keep thoroughly posted concerning all the Negroes of the state, we suppose the information is correct.
