Dixon, the Enemy of Colored People, Advertises New Play So Infamous as to Leave the Notorious "Clansman" Way in the Shade. STOP AT NOTHING TO PREVENT PERFORMANCE. . The Greatest Sacrifice of Your Life Should Be Made to Head Off This Shameful and Disgraceful Lie Being Depicted on Local Stage. According to critics this play is even more harmful to Afro-American "life liberty and happiness" than the in famous Clansman. Think of it, this expreacher, Dixon, this apostate from the church and spreader of discord among a united people, dares to come here and profane the sacred Sabbath, by promulgating his hellish doctrine of the separation of the races. Will the city authorities allow this infamy? Not! a thousand times No! If the Afro-Americans of Chicago rise up in protest. We Must Unite. Do not permit this outrage upon our people to be perpetrated here! Demonise the unclean thing from your pulpits, Voters, protest to the Mayor and your representation to the Legislature,誓诵 to the Courts. Citizens in general, assemble in mass meetings and show the public of Chicago that you resent this despicable attack upon the Colored race. We can stop the Dixon play if we will. "TRUE REFORMERS" TAKE NEW LEASE ON LIFE. Assumes "Do or Die" Spirit and Bids Fair to Regain Former Status. The United Order of True Reformers, after an apparent slump in business, has now taken steps to have the Order and its honor, and have returned from the extra session which was held in Richmond, Va. At this session it was determined that all properties including small halls owned by subordinate fountains and paid for by them could be counted in the assets of the Order and will diminish the amount of their indebtedness. The outlook for the depositors of the Savings Bank is much brighter than formerly, and it is evident that under existing arrangements, they will receive more than they otherwise would have received. It will be at least a year before the affairs of the Savings Bank, Grand Fountain, United Order of True Reformers will be wound up. The delegates who attended the conference are as follows: Rev. A. L. Harris, Messrs. Hobert, Watson, J. T. N. Patterson, C. D. Trice, Mrs Tilliah, Miss Louella Young, Mr. M. T. Bailey. The outlook up to date is very good for the rejuvenation of the Order. THE BOY SCOUTS FORMED IN SCHOOLS. Some interesting matters were rearted at the last meeting of the Juice Protective League No. 4 at the upless Center by the secretary of the gue. Dr. Mary Waring.

After hearing of the movement of the Boy Scouts to be started in the Mosley School numbers of the citizens have been discussing freely the idea of bringing all the schools of the city under this organization, and the total generation begin there to build a more closer union and a deeper friendship toward each other than that which exists now between the present generation. We owe it to them and there should be no stone left unturned until the Boy Scouts organization is well perfected. IF YOU ARE A VOTER IN THE THIRD WARD, DO NOT FAIL TO READ THIS During all political contests it is to be expected that the party to which the respective candidate is affiliated with will make every possible effort to reach the voters in the interest of their candidate, either through their workers in the various precincts or by sending out political literature telling why their candidate should be elected. But in the present aldermanic contest in the fifth ward, between Alderman Milton J. Forrester and Alderman J. Forrester, there is this unquestionable difference. Alderman Forrester is, and always has been the representative of the silk stocking element in the cast end of the ward, and ignoring the colored voters as a whole. Having known Mr. Tearney personally for the last fifteen years and coming in contact with him almost daily during that time, I feel that a word from me to the colored voters of the ward concerning Mr. this time. Mr. Tearney's business and an executive ability is without a doubt him. He is a self-made man. If he is elected he no need for that the little follow cannot see him, as the door of his office will always be open to his constituents, let them come from the boulevards or from Armour avenue. Mr. Tearney does not believe in segregation, therefore, if there happens to be a large number of colored voters in his precinct he will not have the precinct in order to get the colored voters out of HIS aristocratic precinct, and incidentally get a colored man, who happened to be myself, off of the election board as clerk. Mr. Tearney stands for a square deal for all. Very truly yours, JULIUS N. AVENDORPH MAIE. PAITI SROWN AT TUSKEGEE. Tuskegee, March 17—Mune, Brown, Chicago's famous singer, with her Mrs. Majors, gave one of the grandest concerts we have ever had in school in years. Mune. Brown is easily a leader of all those we have ever heard here. The hall was crowded from end to end and the center of attraction was a box party given by Mr. Nonh Davis Thompson, late of Chicago, in honor of Mr. Geo. C. Hall and Mr. Alfred Anderson, Mr. Booker T. Washington in hostess. A vacant chair in the box with a red carnation tied to a blue ribbon. When a Defender correspondent asked its meaning he was told Mr. Thompson's dearest friend, Mr. J. N. Avendorph, was to have had it, but owing to the fact that he was trying to elect A. Tearney in his ward he could not come, but he sent his regrets, which were read at the banquet after the concert. MISS McFARLAND'S OPENING BIG SUCCESS. The many friends of Miss Madeline R. McFarland, 4732 State street, will be pleased to learn of the success she had at her opening, when she made her first attempt to enter into the business world. She being of the younger set and the only one of her set who has ever made the venture, her many friends are more proud to note the decided success and the great impression she made of flowers and features. March, 15. March, as we would say in Rome, will long be remembered in her life. Casar lost his life on that date, but this Roman entered into life. Friends from all parts of the city came, and to cap it all, her many young men friends contributed the music for the evening, nine in all up to 10:30 who played. Five hundred sightseers crowded her store from 12:30 to 10:30 p. m., and she sold them. From 10:30 to 11:30 from Grand boulevard bought her most, expensive hat for $25.50 and left it in the shop to help her display. What this young woman has done can be repeated by many other of our young women. There are hundreds here in Chicago with advantages that the young women in the south would almost give their right arm to get, but, strange to say, they all start in and only learn paris of what they attempt, and when the test comes they will girl and you hear that howl of rage prejudice. Let any of our business men call for a stenographer among our girls and he will get one who can run a machine but cannot take dictation, and if she can do both you will find that she did finish grammar school and is entirely unfit for the work she chooses later in life. Numbers great over the fact that they cannot wash a pocket handkerchief or not to scrub or cook an egg. Their mothers will say that she did finish grammar school and best in her race,[17] but when we consider the girl's many defects, she would be lucky to get married at all. Give us more such girls as Miss McFarland and I will show you a different and more progressive race of people in the space of twenty years. Mrs. Annie W. Fitts, wife of B. W.

DU BOIS The Call a (White) Socialist Paper Writes Great Editorial on Speech Delivered by Prof. Du Bols Before Republican. Where He Shows That the Courts of America and especially the U.S. Supreme Court With Its Southern Democratic and Republican Judges Will Never Decide the Mortal Question. NATIONAL GOVERNMENT AFRAID OF SOUTHERN SECESSIONIST The Editor Calls Attention To His Readers as to How the Rich Causes the Poor Whites to Organize a Feud against the Negro and How the Rich Uses the Negro to Break Strikes, as He Becomes Revengeful Because He Is Kept Down By the Unious. The Editor Pleads for a Co-operation of the Two Class To Unite Against Southern Visiousness and Northern Capi- THE COURTS AND THE NEGRO QUESTION. In an address which he delivered last Saturday before the Republican Club of this city, Professor W. E. Du Bois made two points of more than ordinary significance. Among the Socialists of this country there is as yet considerable difference of opinion as to the relative importance of the various problems pressing the nation, in an important indication which the yare confronted. In fact, it is only very recently that American Socialists have begun to discuss seriously the problems of a peculiar and specific American nature, in the solution of which the experience of the European Socialists can aid us only indirectly. But whatever the ultimate decision of the party as to the relative importance of these problems, no one will deny that the Negro question and the court question are of great importance. Now, in his remarks before the Republican Club Professor Du Bois on the basis of these problems in a very clear indication that a new light is breaking, and that even outside the Socialist movement the currents of thought are being profoundly modified. And we believe that the Socialist propaganda is a most important factor in bringing about this profound change. Our readers are sufficiently acquainted with the part of the courts have been playing in the subjugation of the American working class. But the courts have played an equally important role in the enforcement of the Negroes of the South. In regard to the working class, the courts have assumed an exceedingly ALDERMAN R.

They have prohibited and punished boycots. They have prohibited and punished strikes. But in regard to Negro disfranchisement, the institution of the courts has been a positive one. The Constitution plainly prohibits distinctions on account of color of previous condition of servitude, and the anti-Negro laws are plainly and unmistakably unconstitutional. But the courts, and particularly the United States Supreme Court, have evaded the issue whenever it was presented before them and have simply refused to pass upon it. The intelligent Negroes who are fighting the rights of their race are naturally indignant at this plainness of evasion, this shameful surrender by the courts of the constitutionality guaranteed rights of the Negroes. But Mr. Du Bois, judging from his remarks, is beginning to see that the ultimate solution of the Negro problem cannot possibly be left to the courts. He said: "Permit me to say in beginning that a great deal of the discontent felt by Americans in regard to the administration for the first time, the fact that the people are imposing the courts a task for which they are not designed. the Negro being persecuted because of on the ground of "unconstitutionality." In one sense, yes. His distinctive color makes it easy to single him out for persecution. But the cause underlying the entire persecution, is that racial or economic? Says Professor Du Bois: "You will often hear it said that the race prejudice in the South today is to be found among the poor whites and the Negroes. I emphatically object to that statement. It is true that the poor white people and the Negroes are the immediate instruments of the race prejudice existing there, but they are not in themselves the real cause for its existence. "Every day the Negro is improving in industrial skill and this brings him into sharp competition with the white working people. There at once arises the race prejudice in the two races, it is not in its origin racial. It is economic all becomes racial only because the poor white people know that they can oppose the negro on racial grounds and be backed up in their position by the rich classes and the courts. "The Negro never enters a court in the South as a man, but always as a Negro. He knows that individual virtues will not weigh in the court's decisions. The natural result of this is that the Negro has no faith in the courts. "If the Negroes and the poor, "The courts, theoretically, are intended to arbitrate difficulties arising between individuals, yet we have come to calling upon them to decide the conflict between classes. The courts will never satisfactorily determine what are to be the rights of the working class or the Negro until society at large has decided what those rights shall be. We have classes and we entertain ideas of what their respective privileges should be. And these ideas of the people as a whole regarding justice ar not uniform, yet we still insist that courts shall render decisions which will be appropriate to our appeal. "If the question before the court were simply one of justice between individuals the task would be an easy one, but a man enters court today to be tried and convicted according to the class he belongs to." In other words, the American courts are exercising powers such as no courts of any other country are intrusted with. They are exercising political powers. Not the people, nor the legislature, nor the executive, but the courts have become the final depositories of political power, the ultimate abdicators of the institutions of the nation. And the courts have finally accorded an orderance with the demands of the great majority of the American people until the people themselves resume the exercise of political power, until democracy is re-established in this country. It is most important that the workers, and particularly the Socialists, arrive at a clear understanding of this questions. And it is highly encouraging to find that an enlightened representative of the Colored population comprehends this question in all its greatness. The second point that Mr. Du Bois has made with unequal clarity and emphasis refers to the nature of the so-called race conflict in the South. Is AN WHO THE VOTERS OF THE 3rd LECT. HE REFUSED TO TURN REQUESTED BY THE UNIONS. the Negro being persecuted because of his color. In one sense, yes. His distinctive color makes it easy to single him out for persecution. But the cause underlying the entire persecution, is that racial or economic? Say Professor Du Bois: "You will often hear it said that the only race prejudice in the South today is to be found among the poor who are Negroes. It is emphatically object to the Negroes, who know true that the poor white people and the Negroes are the immediate instruments of the race prejudice existing there, but they are not in themselves the real cause for its existence. "Every day the Negro is improving in industrial skill and this brings him into sharp competition with the white working people. There at once arises a conflict between the two races, but it is not in its origin racial. It is not in its racial only because the poor white people that they can oppose the negro on racial grounds and be backed up in their position by the rich classes and the courts. "The Negro never enters a court in the South as a man, but always as a Negro. He knows that individual virtues will not weigh in the court's decision. The natural result of this is that the Negro has no faith in the court. "If the Negroes and the poor, white people of the South are the one and whom race prejudice seems most prevalent, it is only because the ignorant are always made the instruments of the prejudices and rivalries of the rich." --- --- That is to say, the rich exploiters of the Negro encourage and abet the persecution of the poor Negroes by the poor whites in order to keep the Negroes in a state of helpless fear and submission. And incidentally the white workers the And incidentally the white workers themselves are rendered helpless by bound of the races. The persecuted Negroes have their lives by playing the role of strobistrobe vide and conquer!" has ever been the maxim of the ruling classes. And the ruling classes of the South have certainly succeeded in their object. Let us hope that the white workers, and particularly the Socialists, will soon arrive at an understanding of the most important problems as clear as they are representative of the most enlightened elements of the Colored population SOMEBODY LIED, SAYS MERRIAM.

An attractive centerpiece was formed for the table of flowers, the bright blossoms in keeping with the beautiful spring-like day in which these pretty courtesies were extended, the guest of honor. The guests were all served in courses in chicken and which they partook most cheerfully. The costumes as worn by the guests were unusually unique and indicated great taste of fashion in their selection. Mrs. Joseph Wiggins (the bride) was beautifully gowned in white lingerie over lace. Miss Ovela Hamilton was gowned in a very attractive princess. Mrs. Mary Swane, the bride's loving mother, was gowned in a pretty shepherd's phild. Mrs. I. H. Parker was gowned dainty in a blue silk.

The Hye Park "Apache," who strangled and robbed over a score of women in vestibules and outside hallways leading to their homes, is now under arrest at the Cottage Grove Grove Police Station, according to the police. The prisoner gave the name of Elmer Ambretter. He is a mulatto. The first person to identify the prisoner were Mrs. Rose Ruppe and her young daughter, of 293 Third-second street, according to the Police. Mrs. Ruppe was the last to be attacked by the ambretter gave his age as eighteen years, and said he lived at 2829 State street. He was arrested early today by Policeman John Gietz in Thirty-eighth street, near Michigan avenue.

The policeman noticed the man loitering in the neighborhood and became suspicious. When the suspect's answer proved unsatisfactory, Gietz arrested him and hung him to the Cottage Grove Avenue Station in the policeman thought his prisoner bore to the description of the "Apache" police station, which had been sent to by the police stations in the city. It was decided to send for Mrs. Rupp and her daughter. According to the police, they identified Ambrette without hesitation. This caused notifications to be sent to all of the victims in that but they might see the prisoner and policeman in charge of him. The robber, the police disclosed the "Apache" because of his peculiar methods, was accused to select women as his victims. He either followed them to entrances of flat and apartment buildings, where, hidden from the sight of pedestrians on the street, strangled and robbed them, or he lay them rushed in a corner of the vestibules. His depredations during the last two weeks became so hold that detectives from several South Side stations were assigned to the special task of capturing him. The above means nothing, i.e. Negro the Police capture they would apply the term Apache, it is said that this young man has been put through the 1st and 4th degree to reveal his identity and that he has so far held out, we will be surprised if the police will not convict him on their own statement. We are sorry to say that the Chicago Police force instead of being a go-between is a real uncle Tom's character, a leagree. They are doing all in their power to place the Negro in the category of the slave, but it seems to the fair-minded and clear thinking all people would be careful how they prosecute, for instance they too have their troubles and even there they are treated better than the American Negro.

One of the most atrocious things happening in the hotel world, has recently called to utter cruelty, pernicious habit of some head waiter who aid to their own salaries, by compelling those under their charge to give to them a certain amount of money, each month, said fee is called, "protection money." Many are the poor waiters who are compelled by men of their own race to give to this unjust fee, when they may retain their positions. If a waiter is satisfied with his salary (which by way is usually double what those under him are getting), why does he not step down and out and allow son man (who is not a "blood suckin vampire"), to step in and give him on the side chance to use over penny he makes to protect his wif and perhaps little ones.

The boy was turned over to the juvenile Court. The boy shot Diggs with a Winchester rifle. Another daytime problem. The white firemen who went on a strike at Chattanooga, Tennessee, against Negro firemen, leaving their engines wherever they happened to be, only to be filled by Negro firemen, was not too much of the white firemen. The railroad company was also in the wrong in employing Negro firemen in the face of hostilities before arbitration was sought and a compromise guaranteed, if possible, before resorting to the more competent change. It is unfortunate for the Republican party that Secretary Dickinson spoke and that President Taft id to follow Colonel Roelove's visit. The appointment of William H. Lewis at the eleventh hour and on the horizon of the new political assembly, means that the Negro vote now bids fair to add to the defeat of either faction and the presidential destruction of the party. And what makes voters worse is that Secretary Diemer more than once demoralized the cause by attacking a Negro hater. We can see Dickinson by his weak logic as follows: "As an ultimate solution of the race problem in the South, Dickinson suggested the possibility of the voluntary removal of young Negroes to a country of their own, fostered and guarded by the United States."

The Association proposes to build a commodious Chapel with a rest room attached. It will also build a vault which is much needed. The beautiful gateways which are now under construction will be completed, and a substantial fence built in the near future. As all of these improvements will increase the value of the lots very fast, it will be to the interest of all who can to buy lots while they are cheap. 6 Grave lots $45 to $50 each, 8 grave lots $55 to $60, about what you would have to pay for a single grave in the older cemeteries. Terms are so easy, $2 cash and $2 per month. These lots will double and thrible in value before you get them paid for, on above easy terms. Call at the office for Free tickets to Cemetery and return any morning at 10:30 a.m. sharp, if you want to buy a lot. Delay is dangerous. Write for fine illustrated folder and price list to day. Some lots bought in Chicago cemeteries for $55, are now valued at $800. Mount Glenwood lots at present prices are first class investment and will rapidly advance in value. No Interest! No Taxes!

All Evanston mourns the loss of Mr. Nathan Branch, a veteran citizen of our college town and one of the most honored gentlemen of the North Shore. Nathan Branch, a veteran, citizen of our college town and one of the most honored gentlemen of the North Shore, Mr. Branch was born in Richmond, Va., about eighty-two years ago, in north and settler of Evanston-in 1860. He was made a member in Chicago, wife, whom he leaves behind, in 1872. They were blessed with five children, Messrs. Robert Branch, William Branch, Mrs. Idan Sherrod, Mrs. Mettie Brown and Miss Helen Branch. These children were given a good high school education and were reared under good Christian influence. For many years the Branch family was the only colored population in Evanston. For eighteen years Mr. Branch was connected with the Evanston post office. He was janitor, carrier of mails between the railroad and post office and also was special delivery messenger. He is best remembered by the young generation in the horse and buggy have made an everlasting impression on all Evanstonians, Mr. Branch retired from active service nine years ago, but during this time he has attended to the duties around his beautiful home, 1705 Lake Street. He has always been in good health, suffering, however, with a slight attack of rheumatism now and then. He was sa member of the Second Baptist church, and one of the first organizers of the same. He attended services Sunday, March 5, and in his testimony he said: "I may not be here next Sunday." Mr. Branch was a deacon and treasurer of the Ministers' and Deacons' Union. That splendid organization of fared the following resolution: "Where it has pleased the Almighty God in His mission to take away from our mistress the sins of our brother, Nathan Branch, one whom to know was to love, who was a kind and loving father, a Christian gentleman, a citizen whose integrity could not be impugned, therefore, be it Resolved, that we extend to the grit stricken family, a mourning church and a sorrowing community our deep and heartfelt condolence. Be it further resolved, that these resolutions be recorded in the minutes of the Preachers' and Deacons' Union, and published in the Chicago December and in the Chicago January and in the Preachers' and Deacons' Union of Evanston, Ill.

Mr. Branch was especially honored for his faithfulness, efficiency and absolute truthfulness in everything given to his charge. His whole life is filled with sunshine and duty and the family that survives him is a striking example of his influence as a husband and father. John Jule Dixon, the youngest child of Mr. and Mrs. H. H. Dixon, 702 Greenleaf street, died Wednesday morning at 1:45. This bright fellow of six years was taken on Friday, but only was confined to his bed since Sunday. Spinal meningitis caused his death.

E. Church. The services at Ebenenze Sunday were, as usual, full of interest. The "envelope system" used at the church works fine and Rev. Graves said that he has never seen this system work so well in any church as it is doing in Ebenenze. Not only have all the current expenses of the church been kept up since the system was introduced, but many of the floating debts of the church have been greatly reduced. And in order to further reduce some of the debt, the church other and God will be asked to increase his or her offering Sunday to $2.00 or more. Let us raise $250 or more dollars this Sunday. The Rever H. S. Graves will preach at both the services Sunday at Ebenezer. Sunday morning the subject will be "H a Prisoner and His Deliverance." Services begin promptly at 11 o'clock. At the evening services the subject will be "Supremacy of the Cross, or the World's Great Magnet." A large chorus choir will render music at each service. Every number is urged to be on time in order to avoid disturbance to others. Messrs. Chas. Breckenridge, James Matone, Clifford Starks, Wm. Kineaid, Wm. Cannon, Harry White, John Setter and Eugene Wilson, ushers of Ebenezer, mot Monday night and perfected plans whereby to better handle the crowded congregation at each service. The Busy Bee Club was on hand with another fine dinner last Thursday. The men were forced to lay down their stingers and prepare more food. Several different meetings were being held in Ebenezer at the same time. Mr. Adam Perry was heard to say, as he and the board of trustees waited for a place to hold their meeting, "I never saw such a busy church in all my life. Why, it's as busy as the Evanston Club." Ebenezer has spread its fame abroad, or other places, it has cast its bread upon the waters, for many from as far north as Lake Forest to join this moving church. Rev. Graves was forced to refuse membership to several persons who lived nearer other Methodist churches. Mt. Zion Baptist. The revival meetings are still in progress at the Mt. Zion Baptist church.

Has Colored Private Secretary. Does That Mean Anything to You and M in the Race of Life? TO THE COLLORED VOTERS OF THE THIRD WARD! LET'S HELP THE MAN THAT'S WILLING TO HELP US. Mr. Albert R. Tearney, who is the regular Democratic Candidate for Alderman of the third ward, was born in Chicago, and has always lived on the south side and his executive and business record is without a blemish. Mr. Tearney, is a self-made man which gives him the benefit of knowing how to deal with low men. He comes from a family that have always felt kindly towards the colored race and at present Mr. Tearney has in his employment 15 colored men. One of his brothers, who is located in Galveston, Texas, and holds the position of Director of Annual Training of Colored Schools, and he constantly has a fight on his hands on account of contending for the same training for the colored as are accorded the whites. Mr. A. R. Tearney is the appreciation of the existing condition of the people of the third ward, and he is determined, should he be honored by the voters of the third ward, to represent them in the City Council, he will see that each section of the ward is given the proper attention, let it be Armour avenue or Grand boulevard. His platform will be "Modern Street Cars on Cross Streets, Cleain Alleys and the Removal of Garbage and Ashes Regular Street. Mr. Tearney will deal with the voters of the third ward in a big family, thereby treating every one of the ward as a "Man", let him be the humbleest private in the rear ranks or the highest officer in the army. Mr. Tearney has been one of the leading promoters of amateur and semi-professional base ball for the last fifteen years, until last season, when he was elected president of the Three-Ileague, but with that elevation his awards did not deter him. I have not changed at all, the same AlM. If the colored voters of the third ward will unite their forces in this campaign for Mr. Tearney there is absolutely no doubt about his being the next alderman. Mr. Tearney is in this fight to stay, win or lose, and any rumor to the contrary is false. Alderman Foreman, the representative of the "Silk Stocking Poles," gives it out, that he cared the men and votes of the colored men of the word. Therefore, there will never come more opportunity time than now to show that we are capable of resenting an insult, by giving the solid colored vote of the ward to Mr. Tearney. LEXINGTON, MO, NEWS By J. H. Arnold. Lexington, Mo., March 17.—The home of John Marshall (Colored) was completely destroyed by fire at 3:00 o'clock a. m. Saturday, March 11th. It is not known just how the fire started, as the family were across the river at the time the fire broke out. The whole house in the house was destroyed and the building is to be sold. It is believed that the house was set on fire by some unknown person. The house belonging to Mr. John Carter was badly burned also. Mr. Carter's damage is covered by insurance, but it is not known whether Mr. Marshall carried any insurance on his property or not. Sheriff Peacecook took up a gang of bad Negroes last Wednesday night for shooting craps and disturbing the peace down in the slums of the town. It would be a good thing if he would take up a lot more of our good-for-nothing gamblers, as Lexington is full of them. Sheriff Peacecook is the right man in the right place and one that attends to his business. with any trust or company, but the one located at this given address, 1905-01 State Street, and as for the care and preservation of the dead our method cannot be excelled as to natural color and life like appearance of the body whether by white or Colored. If you should need me call and see for yourself. I have waited until my competitors and the trust have gotten down to the bottom rock and I am going as low as any of them and if possible a little lower try and see. E. JACKSON, 2959-61 State St. Daniel M. Jackson, Expert Embalmer Phone Douglas 727. The memorial services of our beloved Bishop, A. Grant were held Sunday night fro mthe Zion A. M. E. Church in charge of the commandery. The choir rendered some of its best music; also the papers read by Misses G. Hawkins, A. Webb, E. B. Conway and others were good. Miss E. M. Hunter and Mrs. G. Walker sang two beautiful solos. The mourning crepe was removed from the pulpit by our beloved pastor, Rev. J. H. Allen; the small boys and girls folded it up and laid it away nicely. There is not a young lady in Lexington, Mo, that is any better beloved by the people of our race than Miss Eva M. Hunter. She is one of the sweetest, kind-hearted Christian workers among our young people that we have in our city. Miss Hunter is always busy trying to do something for the uplift of the one she is not a street cloaker, as some people say, to you. Find her in the Sunday school, day school and church meetings and anything else that is of any interest to the race. Some of our good-for-nothing young girls have said that Miss Hunter was this, that and the other, but I want to say that it is all a —. Miss Hunter is just what she is and no more. She stands in line with the better class of people and not the low class, and all this slang talk about her life is not what I am. John H. Arnold, the reporter for this paper, have the grit to tell you. Miss Hunter is all right and she is the right person in the right place. Now, you that don't like what I have said about Miss Hunter can do as you please. I say Miss Hunter is a lady, only eighteen years of age, and stands high in the community in which she lives. I could say a good deal more about Miss Hunter, but time and space will not allow me to do so at present.
