Athens Republique

The Athens Republique ATHENS POPULACE CELEBRATES EMAN- CIPATION Athens, Georgia, January 5, 1922 —Pursuant to the proclamation of the Athens Historical Society the people of Athens joyously and enthusiastically celebrated the fifty-ninth anniversary of their freedom January 2, 1922. The day was ideal for the occasion, with a blue "Mexican Sky" above us and a temperature of above 60 Fahreinheight at noon when the parade began. Mr. Charles Shepherd, marshal of the day, headed the procession at Morton Theatre, the starting point. The E. H. Harris Concert Band came next in order, and their conduct and efficiency were par-excellent. The U. R., K. of P. followed them; and with German precision, these organizations, under Captains Middlebrooks and Hunt, marched off down Hull street to Broad street, thence along Broad street to Rock Spring street; northward along Rock Spring street to Hancock avenue. Thence along Hancock avenue and Hull street to the starting point. Halting in front of the Harris' Drug Store, the band and battalion pulled off their very best and held the great crowd spell-bound for nearly an hour. Decorations Entering the theatre spectators beheld a beautifully decorated auditorium, the artistic designs of Mrs. Lizzie Smith, Mrs. A. B. Derricotte, Mrs. Nora M. Powell, Mrs. Hattie Grimes, Miss Katie Lee and Miss Anna Belle Allen, all of these representing the Social Artistique Club. These ladies showed the ability of French artists. Program The following program was rendered: Rev. W. C. Livingston, master of ceremonies. America, Audience. Invocation, Rev. G. B. Wilson. Reading, Miss L. J. Falls. Melody, Miss Ruth Murden. Reading of Emancipation Proclamation, Miss Agnes Heard. Reading, Mrs. Dorothy O. Jones. Presentation of Speaker, Rev. N. H. Gamble. The Orator of the Day was Dr. Ernest Hall, of Atlanta, Georgia. In the course of his speech Dr. Hall said that Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation was the greatest document that had been heard since Moses enunciated the ten commandments on Sinai's Heights. Likewise was his address the greatest and most celebrated exegesis of Negro emancipation and its attributes that had been heard in Athens since the promulgation of the great emancipator's proclamation fifty-nine years ago. There is no phase in the complicated lives of the American Negroes that Dr. Hall did not touch in a practical and constructive way, and in spite of the somewhat unpleasant room, the large audience sat patiently to the end. The statement that he could have been listened to an hour longer was heard by many as they came down the stairs. Finance The finance committee was headed by Capt. Thomas Garfield assisted by Deacon Joe Telfair, Prof. S. F. Harris, Dr. C. S. Haynes, W. P. Hopson, Treas., and Lieut. Brown; and a great success was experienced. The most of the general committee members, chiefly the pastors, principals of the schools and teachers paid their annual assessment of a dollar. In behalf of all the people we wish to thank all who contributed in any way toward the success of this celebration. "BOOKER T. WASHINGTON FIVE YEARS AFTER" Booker T. Washingtsn has been dead five years. Even now too short an interval has elapsed to disentangle his real work and worth from partism zeal and animosities, and to weigh calmly his genuine contribution to the welfare of his race and nation. For almost a generation the name of Booker T. Washington occupied a large share of the attention of his fellow-men. The nation delighted to mark the wisdom of his sayings and to write his speeches in their books. He occupied as large a place for as long a time in public esteem and favor as any man of his generation. He bore the stamp of natural greatness. His wisdom was intuitive. He possessed the genius of common sense and the philosophy of simple things. His was a universal mind. While he dealt with the most complex and distressing social particulars, his spirit always rose above the temporary intricacies of besetting conditions and lived in an atmosphere that was calm and serene THE ATHENS REPUBLIQUE 2 Booker T. Washington was, perhaps, the only man of eminence of his day who was free from race prejudice. He neither despised nor esteemed any man because of his race. Booker T. Washington's pacificatory doctrine of racial peace and good will, his sound, sober appraisement of the importance of practical education, his urgent insistence upon economic development instead of too confident reliance on political action, his commonsense gospel of industry, thrift and economy, his philosophy of accomplishing the possible rather than attempting the unattainable, must be at the basis of any future scheme of race reclamation and relationship. His place in history is secure. His contribution is permanent. His influence will abide. Booker Washington will be remembered by posterity, not only as a great Negro, but as a great American and as a great man. Ebenezer Baptist Church, of East Athens celebrated Xmas with a tree aud the following program was rendered: Song Joy to the world, the audience Prayer by Rev. F. A. White; Scripture Lesson, Rev. Z.

NORFLETT HONORED Athens, Ga., Dec. 28, —For a little more than a year Mrs. Elmira Norflett, Chairman of Blooming Rose Club, No. 10, has prosecuted her duties enthusiastically and zealously, but with even tenor and without ostentation. Twice her club won the prize, and at all times has given a good account of itself. The members of the club have always been mindful of Mrs. Norflett's unselfish character, and to show their appreciation of her, on the night above mentioned a great assemblage gathered before her door and entreated her to permit them to enter. Pretty soon a delicious menu was ushered in from the rear. At the end of this service, with an address from Miss Mattie Eberhardt, a beautiful sweater was presented to Mrs. Norflett in token of the the club" appreciation of her services. Lt. Julian L. Brown, Mrs. Evie Robinson and Mr. Smith also spoke. Mrs. Norflett was filled to overflowing with joy and gratefulness, and was therefore, unable to speak.

The Social Artistique Club had their first meeting in the New Year with Miss Katie Lee, of 652 Hull street. Tuesday evening, January 3, 1922.

The service was excellent, and here and there the members could not refrain from the temptation of hinting for more Miss Lee's home is a plendid place to meet. January 7, 1922 A MID-NIGHT CRY The wise and sainted pastor of Ebenezer Baptist Church, having brought his people through a very hard year in great triumph, retired on Christman Eve. night, and like a great general who had just achieved the victory, laid his war-stained garments aside with the hope of lying down until the next morning when he should rise and lead his people into the celebration of another anniversary ef our Lord. But as he slumbered and sleep 'behold a cry was made!'" It was not the bridegroom, but a great host of friends who came to show their pastor the magnitude of love for him, bringing along with them a miscellaneous shower of many practical gifts. The pastor admitted them and a joyous time was bad until their willing spirits gave way to the weak flesh, and then they withdrew to their several homes. Those participating in this infallible proof of love were: Sisters Annie Maynes, Ann Ebernardt, Sarah Billups, Lula Banks, Mary Christler, Hattie B Foster, Anna Lumpkin, Helen Harris, Easter Dean, Maria Pauline and Brother Bennie Billups. [heaven "Blessings bright as dew from Falls upon your way. Life's best gift to you be given This glad Christmas Day."

Horton, live to guide the character of the old "Ship of Zion" on toward its destiny. THE ATHENS REPUBLIQUE VENERABLE ATHENIAN DIES The passing of Mr. Samuel McQueen from our community will be sadly conspicuous to many people—white and colored, old and young. He was in his seventy-third year, having been born in Athens July 31, 1849. Exceptionally well-read was he for a colored man of his years. Indeed any man who is interested in the current issues of the day would seek his society, for he was well posted. He had been in business in Athens for nearly sixty years and had always exhibited business tact and integrity. Mr. McQueen was married to Emma Wynne at Washington, Ga. November 17, 1880. He was converted in Knox School House May 3, 1885, and later became a member of Pierce Chapel (Now The First A. M. E. Church) in whose fellowship he died. The funeral was attended at the First A. M. E. Church, the Rev. Mr. Fountain, pastor, with short eulogies by visiting pastors and friends. His remains were laid to rest in the Gospel Pilgrim Cemetery. Mr. McQueen is survived by his widow, Mrs. Emma McQueen, three daughters, Misses Julia and Lula McQueen, Mrs. Belle Lester, and one son, Samuel W. McQueen, four grand children, one sister, Mrs. Julia Whitehead, and a great cohort of relatives and friends. Mrs. Lill e Carter, of Chicago, is visiting her mother Mrs. Sandy Jerrell 287 Atlanta avenue. Mrs. Sandy Jarrell her aunt was greatly surprised to see her on the 25th of December.
