FRANKLIN'S PAPER THE STATESMAN State Historian & Natural History Society TWENTIETH YEAR DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY SEPTEMBER 11, 1909 FIVE CENTS A COPY BIG-HEARTED WOMAN WORKS FOR THE RACE THE FOREIGN SCHOLARSHIP. A rare character indeed is our own E. Azalia Hackley. Formerly of our own city, and now recognized as an artist of world-wide fame, she still finds time to do for others what she had to struggle to win for herself. Having been an observer of her early efforts and knowing at what dear cost she has bought success it is natural for us to expect her to be chary of her advice and material aid. Yet she is not. No words of comment from us would say so much as can be deduced from her own statement in her "Foreign Scholarship Bulletin," which she has issued. She says: In June I finished the last payment of the five hundred dollars. I had promised to Mr. Clarence Cameron White, to assist him in his studies abroad for one year. Mr. White sailed for London in June. 1908. It has been a difficult task to collect this amount, but it has been accomplished, and the scholarship establishes a precedent. I am highly gratified with all results. If those who have contributed could understand how arduously Mr. White has worked, and how much he has improved in his playing, they would be as pleased as I am. If he had to return at this date, he will have profited to a remarkable extent, and the money has been well spent. If the colored people could only realize what a chance Mr. White has to take a place among the artists of the musical world, they certainly would help him to stay abroad as long as necessary. It seems so strange that while people will put up money for a pugilist, or to bury pumpers, they will not help a person to a career—something that is bound to benefit others in turn. This race of seven millions can be advertised for good through Mr. White's success, as it could not be advertised in any other way. Every musical journal and every newspaper, North or South, will publish foreign musical matters, when American musical events of larger proportions only receive local notices. To have one colored artist presented abroad every five years would cost less than $5,000, an average of $1,000 a year. What a pittance this is if it scores one point in favor of seven millions of people. One department store in any large city expends that much in less than a week for advertising, because the results of advertisement are evident. How can the race expect the world "With re White, I w my pupil and that h grees.

Among them she numbers Mrs. Eliza Dishman and gives a lengthy biographic sketch. to believe that it has rare musical talent, the one line in which it can excel if given opportunity, if the fact is not continually advertised and evidence produced? Must there be no change of opinion because or a few dollars, which might be easily given? If white teachers throughout the country believed that talented colored students might go to Europe and become great, thereby reflecting credit upon teachers, fewer of them would refuse to accept colored pupils (where colored students are dependent upon them), and more would double their efforts. I am so grateful to all those who have believed in, and helped the Scholarship Fund. I will always treasure the kind letters assuring me of loyal support, which have seemed to come at discouraging periods. Night after night I have been unable to sleep, wondering whether I had done the right thing in presenting the scholarship to Mr. White. Upon reaching London I found that, in order to follow out his teacher's plan of study, Mr. White would need to practice seven hours a day, and could spare neither time nor strength for employment. My anxiety increased. I thought of possible illness, although a healthier little family would be hard to find. I comforted myself with the fact, that at least, they were receiving "home cooking," a most valuable aid to health while in a foreign land. Then Mrs. White was a rare musical help, and the little family had no three thousand miles of ocean between them. I became afraid to spend my money lest it might be needed for an emergency. I walked miles, saving "bus" fare, and practiced the various 'curious' economies in which women delight, waiting for the bridges to appear. When I became ill myself, I was completely discouraged for a time. However, everything has worked out for good, as I felt it would, and I do not regret a "bad moment" I have had. If the colored people stand by Mr. White they will be very proud of him. I can do no more for him because I intend to send another student the coming year. If Mr. White can stay another year on his own efforts, I will endeavor to collect enough money to give him a debut. If Mr. White could receive proper financial support, he could enter the musical arena just as any white artist does. His color will not keep him back but the lack of money will. It is certainly time to begin presenting I hope to collect $300 to rl Diton for one year in if he, too, could stay cond year, I will pledge collect for his debut two I believe in Mr. Diton's old his own witn white st as I believed that Mr. I be an exceptional stud- ending a letter from his has taken so great an in- m.

Washington, which has been in some measure depopulated because o fthe vacation season, is rapidly nilling with residents returning to the city. Departmental officials, employees, teachers and others who had gone to the mountains, sea shore and lakes, have returned to find the weather of Washington delightfully refreshing. Register Vernon has returned from Berkeley Springs, West Virginia. His trip to the mountains there was very beneficial, and he returns fully recovered from malaria, and is busy at his desk again. Mr. Maurice Clifford, son of Hon. William H. Clifford, who has been doing special work in Columbia University, has returned to the city. Mr. J. W. Randolph, ex-member of the Mississippi legislature, father of Oliver Randolph, editor of the "Washington American," has been visiting his son. Register and Mrs. Vernon have had as their house guest two former students of Western University, Quindaro, Kansas. One of these, Miss Fannie Alexander, a teacher in El Paso, Texas, has been traveling through the East, and is spending several days in Washington. Miss Alexander was entertained at a dinner party by Register and Mrs. Vernon, who took great pleasure in making it pleasant for a former student of their institution. Mr. Warren Douglass, formerly of Western University and now of Chicago, who has been making a two weeks' trip through the East, spent several days with Register Vernon and Mrs. Vernon. The "Wilberforcians," an organization composed of graduates of Wilberforce University, will give an excursion down the river on September 18th. A number of people prominent in official, professional and social life in Washington are members of this organization. Among these are Register and Mrs. Vernon, Professor William A. Joiner of Howard University, Professor James Wright of the Armstrong Manual Training School, and others. Dr. I. N. Ross, recently appointed pastor of the Metropolitan A. M. E. church to succeed the late Dr. John H. Welch, is proving a powerful and popular pulpiteer and pastor. Large crowds are attending his services. He is meeting with great success. Professor Wade H. Hammond, formerly bandmaster at Western University, Quindaro, Kansas, has been appointed regimental bandmaster in the Ninth Cavalry at Fort Russell. Register Vernon, while regretting to lose the services of such a valuable Continued on page twelve Women Enter Untried Field. The Moorman-Harper Stock Company, the Outgrowth of Women's Business Activity. Indorsed by Dr. Washington - Remarkable Business Career of Miss I. L. Moorman. By N. B. DODSON. In every good movement which has for its object the uplift of humanity, in whatever cause and for whatever purpose, Afro-American women may be depended upon to contribute their quota of moral courage, intellectual perceptibility and keen business foresight. One of the brightest luminaries in the business life among Afro-Americans in Greater New York today is a wo.nan. Miss I. L. Moorman, who has been officially connected with the Metropolitan Mercantile and Realty company for the past eight years, has turned her business knowledge and hard earned experience into plans and methods and opened up a new and untried field of business industry for the women of our race. She has amicably severed her relations with the company referred to, reorganized the Metropolitan Women's Business club into a stock company, chartered and incorporated under the laws of the state of New York, and opened offices in a fine suit of rooms in the Garfield building, on Court street, Brooklyn, N. Y. under the firm name of the Moorman-Harper company, where a general business in stocks and bonds and in real estate will be carried on. The primary object of the Metropolitan Women's Business club was to raise sufficient funds with which to erect an auditorium where the various secret and benevolent organizations might hold their meetings and where the various social and public functions which are so numerous among Afro-Americans could be conducted to better advantage than they can be under present rental conditions. The growth of the club has made it necessary to reorganize with a more composite realization of the possibilities of woman's work and achievements. The company has already invested some $3,600 in first mortgage bonds bearing 6 per cent interest. The feasibility of the project may be readily seen when it is known that Afro-Americans in Brooklyn spend more than $200,000 per annum in rentals alone. And also the fact that 97 per cent of all the money invested in Afro-American corporations in Greater New York is by women of the race ought to quicken the impulse and spur the ambition of every person who has any race pride. Since it is a fact that women have been the mainstay and backbone of most of the successful business conducted by men of the race, it is no more than reasonable that they should launch out now for themselves. Miss Moorman is right when she says that if the men will not put their money together and build a creditable hall the women will raise theirs by their own thrift and industry and erect an auditorium. Miss Moorman is the first and only woman president of a stock company that we know of in the north and is president of the Woman's Business league of Greater New York, of which Dr. Booker T. Washington is the na- THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO A. E. tional president. She has the good will and indorsement of the clergy of Greater New York as well as those of other persons of influence and means. The achievements of the company in its former state were phenomenal, and its present outlook is no less a revelation to persons who are conversant with conditions in the commercial world. Stock will be sold at $5 per share for ninety days, after which the price will be $10. The company will employ a large, competent force of women, and the business will be conducted upon strictly up to date methods. Dr. Booker T. Washington's indorsement of the company is a guarantee of its genuineness. The directors are Miss I. L. Moorman, president; Mrs. Jennie Stewart, Miss A. L. Harper, Mrs. Martha Bullock, Mr. H. W. Baxter, Mr. James Blackwell, Mrs. H. V. Poultry, Mr. L. B. Martin, Miss M. P. Felton, Mrs. Grace Rutler, Mr. Thomas Bullock, Mrs. Nellie Johnson, Mr. Alfred Nash, Miss Harriet Mitchell, Mrs. Alice W. Wiley, Miss S. Elizabeth Frazier and Mrs. Josephine Wellman. Both Kinds of Education Important. The advocates of higher education for Afro-Americans may find both consolation and encouragement in the following lines from the Boston Post: "The most successful administrators of the world have been through a classical course of education. The association with the classic minds of antiquity, men of whom Plutarch wrote, gives a breadth to the thought and a heroism to the heart that no merely technical training can impart. Let us teach our children to run a lathe and take an engine apart, but let us not ignore the clarion call of Cicero and Demosthenes. Our brain has two lobes. One is as important as the other." The Lynchburg (Va.) Herald, speaking of the recent meeting of the Niagara movement which was held at Sea Island City, N. J., says: "The scholarly and brave DuBois was there and other strong men. When its work is finished it will develop into something better and nobler. This organization realizes as no other body does, perhaps, the great responsibility resting upon Negro scholarship to state the black man's case clearly and strongly before a critical and not too friendly world. Every young man of the race should imbibe the spirit of this ethical movement."

Phlipper was entertained at dinner by ye correspondent. Mrs. Wm. Cochran entertained the Woman's Mite Missionary Club in royal style at her residence on Seventh street, a feature of the evenwas the short literary programme. Subject, "Woman Suffrage. Mrs. Black and Mrs. Montgomery seems to have convinced their hearers that the woman really had some grievance. The evening was pleasantly spent. Proceeds went to the proceeds of the A. M. E. church. Mrs. G. N. Reynolds, her three children and her mother, Mrs. H. E. Ellsworth, arrived Monday after a sojourn of several months visiting friends and relatives in Texas and Kansas. The Mt. Olive B. Y. P. U. is progressing nicely under the presidency of Mr. P. Williams. They have a splendid meeting every Sunday at 7:30 p. m. All are invited to attend these interesting services. There has been several efforts to organize a Ministerial Union in our city. There are about eight ministers in our city. We hope the effort will be pushed forward, as such an organization could accomplish much in the moral uplift of the race. Frank Fancett a few months ago bought the Henry clothes cleaning business. Mr. Fancett reports that his business is growing and ne is pleased with his bargain. Dr. G. H. Davis, D. D., of Washington, D. C., is a pleasant visitor for a few days. His sermons and lectures at the A. M. E. church were inspiring and full of thought. The race profits much of the wisdom of such eloquent divines. Call again, Rev. Davis; you are always welcome in Albuquerque. The reverend was the guest of Rev. Washington and wife while in our city. Rev. Davis leaves Sunday night for California, where he expects to reside The Daily Tribune of our city made its appearance last Thursday afternoon. It is the only paper Democratic in politics in our city. It was formerly an El Paso, Texas, enterprise, and coming from Texas, it is causing the Negro citizens to seriously wonder how the little stranger is going to conduct itself in the new neighborhood. The Negro has fared nicely under the management of the old newspaper and we trust the Tribune will give us a square deal. The local political pot is beginning to simmer as the election grows near. There are several prospective candidates prominently mentioned for high positions of honor. Julius Staab is being quietly groomed by the machine for a seat in the legislature. A few days before election when the slate is complete we will give a history of the past record of each candi- date on the political tickets so the Negro voters may know who has been fair to him in honorable dealing and who he may expect to protect his interest in the event that the chosen candidates are successful at the polls.

No danger from THORNS, CACTUS, PINS, NAILS, TACKS or GLASS. Serious punctures like intentional knife cuts, can be vulcanized like any other tire. Two Hundred Thousand pairs now in actual use. Over Seventy-five Thousand pairs sold last year. DESCRIPTION. Made in all sizes. It is lively and easy riding, very durable and lined inside with a special quality of rubber, which never becomes porous and which closes up small punctures without allowing the air to escape. We have hundreds of letters from satisfied customers stating that their tires have only been pumped upon once or twice in a whole season. They weigh no more than an ordinary tire, the puncture resisting qualities being given by several layers of thin, specially prepared fabric on the tread. That "Holding Back" sensation commonly felt when riding on asphalt or soft roads is overcome by the patent "Basket Weave" tread which prevents all air from being squeezed cut between the tire and the road thus overcoming all suction. The regular price of these tires is $8.50 per pair, but for advertising purposes we are making a special factory price to the rider of only $4.50 per pair. All orders shipped same day letter is received. We ship C.D.D. on approval. You do not pay a cash until you have examined and found them strictly as represented. We will allow a cash discount of 5 per cent (thereby making the price $4.58 per pair) if you send FULL CASH WITH ORDER and enclose this advertisement. We will also send one nickel plated brass hand pump and two Sampson metal puncture closers on full paid orders (these metal puncture closers to be used in case of intentional knife cuts or heavy gashes). Tires to be returned at OUR expense if for any reason they are not satisfactory on examination. We are perfectly reliable and money sent to us is as safe as in a bank. Ask your Postmaster, Banker, Express or Freight Agent or the Editor of this paper about us. If you order a pair of these tires, you will find that they will ride easier, run faster, wear better, last longer and look finer than any tire you have ever used or seen at any price. We know that you will be so well pleased that when you wait a bicycle you will give us your order. We want you to send us a small trial order at once, hence this remarkable tire offer. OOASTER.

The color line is drawn sharply by lynchers in Kentucky. Several weeks ago a Frankfort Negro was lynched by a mob for having shot a circus man. In Trigg county a Negro boy charged with attempted assault was lynched. Between the dates of these two lynchings Dr. Nuttall, a physician in charge of patients at the Feeble Minded institute at Frankfort, was charged with having assaulted a woman under his care. He was allowed ample time to make preparations to avoid arrest, and after a good deal of delay that might easily have been avoided a reward was offered for him. There was no apparent interest upon the part of the authorities in bringing him to trial. The hoodlums at Frankfort and those in Trigg county committed murder merely for the pleasure there was in stringing up a defenseless victim. The three brothers of the girl in Trigg county to whom an improper proposal was made were guarding the Negro on his way to jail when the mob interfered. Their conduct under trying circumstances was creditable. The Negro would, of course, have been convicted if he had been put in jail and tried. A Negro charged with attempted criminal assault is not dealt tenderly with by a jury of white men. There is but one conclusion to be drawn from the three cases. Attempted criminal assault is punishable by death without trial if the accused is black. Shooting and wounding are punishable by death without trial if the accused is black. Criminal assault is to be winked at if the accused is white and prominent. It is difficult to decide which is more humiliating to decent citizens, the mob murders or the contemptible machinery of the law which admits of courtesy being shown to Dr. Nuttall.—Louisville Courier-Journal. EDUCATIONAL CAMPAIGN. Dr. Shepard's Brilliant Dash Through the North Yields Large Results. Distinguished white men in various sections of the country are manifesting a very encouraging amount of interest in the National Training school and Chautauqua for Afro-American ministers and missionaries. Bishop Robert Strange of Wilmington, N. C., and Rev. Dr. J. C. Massee of Richmond, Va., have been placed on the advisory board. Dr. James E. Shepard of Durham, creator of this great movement, recently returned home from a trip through the northern states. During his short campaign of a few days he raised $7,000, which indicates in a measure to what extent the institution may be assisted by going to those who are conversant with its objects and aims. The meeting of the advisory board which has been called for Oct. 14 in the city of Durham will bring together great reformers, ministers, educators, philanthropists and distinguished men of both races from various sections of the United States. Dr. Charles H. Parkhurst, a man of international reputation; Mr. D. A. Tompkins and others have promised to attend the meeting. The plans which have been in a tentative state heretofore will then be put in operation. Nov. 1 ground will be broken for the structure, which when finished will be a credit to the state and an honor to the race. The funds for the beginning of the work are ready. The leading dailles and peri- THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORAD odicats or the north and south will give illustrated stories of the efforts of Dr. Shepard, who now has the ear of the people who can give the race such needed assistance. Afro-Americans and Temperance. We are pleased to note the active interest which our people are taking in the temperance movement throughout the United States. If a few more pastors of Afro-American churches would lend their influence to the cause, backed up by the public school teachers, Sunday school teachers and our business and professional men, an effective blow could be hurled against saloon keepers which would make the liquor traffic quake for fear. This can be done. A million Afro-Americans could easily be got into line for an active temperance campaign if properly organized under good leadership. New Camp of Spanish War Veterans. Another camp of United Spanish War Veterans has been organized and mustered in at Washington. The new camp is composed of Afro-American soldiers and sailors of the Spanish war and will be known as Alfred C. Markley camp. As there are two camps of Afro-American Spanish war veterans now at Washington, it is said that they may be formed into a department. SUCCESSFUL YOUNG DENTIST. Dr. A. S. Hunter of Durham Working His Way Up to the Front. The state of North Carolina heretofore has sadly been in need of Afro-American dentists, and its Afro-American citizens are welcoming the young men who recently passed the state board examination. These young dentists are endeavoring to set a high standard. Dr. A. S. Hunter of Durham, N. C., is a graduate of Kittrell college and a lover of the works of the old masters of music. While a student of the dental department of Walden university he was first violinist in the orchestra. For his ability to do technical work he won a gold medal. Dr. Hunter has offices in the fine modern office building of the North Carolina Mutual and Provident association. These offices are equipped with electric appliances and are otherwise excellently furnished. His successful operations and fine mechanical work have given him a lucrative practice. KELLY MILLER ON CRIMES. Excess Among Both Races North Due to Greater City Population. Professor Kelly Miller of Howard university says that the increase in Negro crime has not been an actual one, but rather that Negro crime has not decreased as much as white crime and so its share of the whole has increased. While the Negroes constitute but 12 per cent of the population of the country, they furnish 32 per cent of its convicted criminals. This preponderance of crime is not due to any race trait, but grows out of conditions. Evidence that not race but condition produces crime is furnished by the fact that, while in the north the Negroes commit more crimes than they do in the south, whites in the north commit an even greater excess of convicted crime over southern whites, the evident reason for the preponderance of crime among both races in the north being the greater proportion of city people there.

EUREKA LITERARY HOLDS ONE GRAND SESSION—FINE AUDIENCE. Barring the disappointments offered by the Misses Ethel Minor, Jessie Andrews and Mr. Roy Handy, the program at the literary was the best that could possibly be had. It will be very hard to surpass it. The reading, "Plea of the Oppressed," by Kelly Miller, read by Mr. A. Wayman Ward, was quite timely and very appropriate for the literary. It served to inspire the young to take advantage of their many opportunities. The vocal solo, by Miss Jennie Hicks, and her encore, "I Love You," truly "was simply great." Miss Hicks has a lovely voice and the training she will get from Fisk will make her a peer of Miss Flora Batson of the East. The piano solo and encore by Miss Claire Gilmore certainly demonstrated the technique, the studious effort and the excellent musical poise possessed by Miss Gilmore. There is no question but that the world will hear HEI Your Last Chance to Att THE LAST Enterta OF THE We close the Park by giving the season.

Mr. Olden's tenor voice was well suited to his song and the audience refused to release until he sang an encore. Fish has every reason to be proud of the showing her students made, for they would honor any community. There will be no literary next Tuesday owing to various meetings of the church officials preliminary to the going to the annual conference at Boulder. The recently formed dramatic club will entertain the audience the following Tuesday night. Mrs. S. B.

Many Delegates and Visitors Were Present—Social Features. The thirteenth annual convention of the Northeastern Federation of Women's Clubs was held in the Third Baptist church, Springfield, Mass., from Aug. 31 to Sept. 3, inclusive. The federation was the guest of the Frances E. W. Harper club, the Mary H. Garnett club and the Elizabeth C. Carter club of Springfield. The executive board held afternoon and evening sessions Tuesday, which were private. Hundreds of delegates and visitors had arrived by Wednesday morning, when C MRS. ALICE W. WILEY. the convention proper was called to order by the president, Mrs. Alice W. Wiley, who has served in that capacity for four consecutive years. Following the roll call, seating of delegates and adoption of the minutes of the board was the address of welcome delivered by Mrs. H. Frances Ritter, which was responded to in behalf of the convention by Mrs. H. C. Smith, who is one of the ablest members of the federation. The report of the organizer, Miss Reberta J. Dunbar, showed that a large number of clubs had been organized and united with the federation during the year. The treasurer's report and the conference on philanthropic work closed the morning session. Important features of the afternoon session were the address on behalf of the city by Mayor W. E. Sanderson, conference on education led by Miss S. Ella Wilson, who is a well known educator, and a piano solo, "Variations of a German Theme" (Lerbach), by Miss Ruth Johnson. Great crowds flocked to the evening session, which opened with a chorus by the clubs of Springfield. The address in behalf of the clergy was delivered by Rev. W. N. De Berry. Mrs. Wiley in her annual address reviewed the work of the organization for the past four years and point- THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. ed out many or the helpful things which the clubs had done for the good of the respective communities in which they are located. The president had a word of commendation and encouragement for each head of the various departments. The social features of the convention were greatly enjoyed by the delegates and visitors. The thanks of the M. MRS. M. C. SIMPSON. convention were given to the clubs of Springfield, the citizens, the press and church in which the meetings were held. The federation is doing a helpful work for the women of our race as well as a large charitable work through individual clubs. In numbers the Northeastern is the second largest body of organized women in the United States, numbering more than 100 clubs with an aggregate membership of about 3,000. The principal business of the organization is done through the executive board, of which Mrs. M. C. Simpson is chairman. She is one of the busiest women of the convention and is interested in a large number of organizations for racial uplift. As the lady commander of the Mrs. Roger Wolcott auxiliary, Army and Navy union, Mrs. Simpson wields a wholesome influence. The motto of the federation is "For God and Humanity." Spanish War Veterans' Cowardly Act. Because of the presence of four Afro-American delegates at the sixth annual convention of the California department of the United Spanish War Veterans in session at Pasadena Aug. 31 a race war which threatened to disrupt the department and break up the convention was started among the delegates. The camps at Vallejo and Oakland withdrew their delegates, and the leading candidate for department commander withdrew from the race. And yet these same prejudiced men in case of war would gladly welcome the four men in question, multiplied a thousand times, to lead them to victory. "What fools ye mortals be!" This Driver Delivered the Goods. Afro-Americans are constantly showing their courage, ability and loyalty under trying circumstances. The attempt of ten alleged Italian highwaymen to hold up the pay wagon of the Pocahontas Consolidated Collier company between the Norfolk and Shamokin collieries was thwarted by the presence of mind of the driver, who was an Afro-American. Three of the number were captured, and a posse of trained marksmen was sent in pursuit of the seven who escaped. THE NEEDMORE CLUB CALEB ALLEN, Prop. & Mgr.

When we first began our wonderful work of growing all kinds, all qualities, all lengths, and all conditions of hair, even to the growing of hair on bald places of the head, many persons scorned the idea that such a thing was possible; but we have grown the hair for hundreds, rapidly achieving success. The proof of the value of our work is that we are being imitated and largely by persons whose own hair we have actually grown and the further fact that they have very frequently mentioned us when trying to sell their goods (saying that "theirs is the same" or "just as good") or referred to "PORO." We advise you to use only "PORO" Hair Grower, (the oldest and best of its kind). See that the name "PORO" is on every box, not genuine without it. Prepared only by MRS. A M. POPH.

The general class meeting was led by Mr. J. D. Rice. The following captains added to their reports: Mrs. Dora E. Wallace, Mrs. G. W. Anderson, Mr. W. S. Evans and the pastor. This brought the rally up to $306.00. The officials enjoyed one of the best meetings ever held in Scott's. Everything was harmonious from the beginning to the end. The mortgage was greatly reduced and some repairs ordered. The board planned another rally for the last Sunday in November. The mortgage must be paid off and the church painted. Mr. J. D. Rice has been granted license to exhort and recommend for license to preach. Mr. Rice will likely enter Gammon Theological Seminary this fall to prepare to enter the ministry. He is a brilliant young man of strong religious character and will reflect honor on the high calling of the ministry. Scott's sends him forth with her prayers and best wishes. We need more young men of this caller to enter the ministry. Mr. Rice is well prepared as he is a high school graduate. The Ladies' Aid fair will be given on Thanksgiving day. This promises to be a grand affair. They will have their election of officers Thursday and serve refreshments free. Mr. W. E. Tinker, the guest of the pastor, left for Pueblo and Colorado Springs, and he will return by the way of Denver en route to Birmingham, Alabama. He is much impressed with our thriving city. Class No. 3 held the banner last Wednesday night. Mrs. W. A. Bobo is the energetic leader. Mrs. Bobo is much improved in her health since her visit to the Springs. Scott had one addition last Sunday, Mr. Hapsea Smith, the father of Mrs. Anna Co. This brings the enrollment up to 83. One hundred before our conference is our slogan.
