RACE PERSONNEL AT TUSKEGEE? Negro Postal Clerk Promoted BASE BALL! VOL. V. RACE Negr GETTING 'EM TOLD By C. F. RICHARDSON. "GOOD-LOOKING NEGROES." Hon. William Joseph Simmons, imperial "emperor" of the kluzers, according to press reports, paid the colored race a high compliment in his recent Deamont speech, when he uttered, the following statement: "Why, you even have the best-looking Negroes I have ever seen here." Not only have Beaumont and other Texas cities suchoodloving Negroes the right to vote, but they tentate to make public acknowledgment of this fact, but if he had vided his vote, the Lincoln or ideal theater or had stood for blood, he would have played in Plainview. He would have concluded that there was a place in Plainview. Peter had been carolled with the gats "Tech thun," Boer "Imperor," Texas state governor, for if it had not been for Toussaint, our great and noble order would not have imputed such a large and gulls battle. Texas Negroes are not only "good looking," but they are good citizens, which is more to be desired than more outward looks. They are, in the main, thrifty, honest, lawabiding (do not believe in superlegal methods and invisible governments to supersede and overthrow the visible government), home-owning, tax-paying, decent, respectable, educated, and represent the best that can be found anywhere in the confines of this great republic. They are educating their children and have no regrets for the pain and no regrets for the future, provided colored men can be the failure of all the children that they are somewhat tired, Brother Texan for colored children whose father had no colored antecedents, and while you were for colored children whose father had with might and main to make the white race "supremus," colored Texans were a little effort to help them keep their race "pure," and unspoiled from forbidden things. But when you said colored Texans were the best-looking Negroes you had, they were the best-colored "you," you certainly said that right." And there are many more within the church than can be explained exaltations that think as you do and many of these can speak with author- ship. This complaint, coming from such a church, is not a tribute or an indictive a tribute and exacuity, yet the half has not been told nor has the half been told. The next time you visit Texas, you must not wait upon you pay "harvest" on the land. You will chine in with the queen of the crown, "acclaim." The half has not been told. A FINE SUGGESTION. Mr. J. B. Griggs, member of the executive committee of the Houston Colored Commercial Club, makes the suggestion that the members of the local organization should choose a Pollinator and attend the annual meeting of the National Negro Business League, which meets in Hot Springs, Ark., about the third week in August. Since this national body of representative business and professional men and women meets no near to our native state, and since colored Hortonians have heretofore refused or All delegations and prospective delegates to the grand lodge of the Grand gates to grand lodge of Grand United Order of Old Fellows are asked to meet at the Old Fellows' Hall, Crosby and Hobson Streets, 4th Ward, Sunday, July 8, 2 p. m. Matter of vital importance will come before this junior body and all delegates, both Old Fellows and Ruthites, are urged to be present. Sam Cebrun is chairman, and William Wyndom is secretary of the junior failed to attend such gatherings and advertise our great city, it strikes us that Mr. Gripsey's suggestion is both fine and timely. Reduced rates will prevail and the Pollmap surcharge and railroad fare together will not amount to more than what many local business men are able to pay without embarrassing themselves. Aide from the publicity and favorable advertising such a trip will bring our organization and city, the main thing is the information and inspiration our business men will receive from some of the race's most successful and substantial business and professional people. Business men and women from all parts of the country attend and participate in these annual meetings of the league and it is worth much to hear them relate their experiences, observations and successes in the business world. Perhaps the National Negro Business League, which was founded by the late Dr. Booker T. Washington and has only had two presidents during its long career, is the most outstanding and representative body of HOUSTON, TEXAS, SATURDAY, JULY 7, 1923 MAIL CARRIERS VS.

"HOUSTON'S GOT 'EM" TUSKEGEE VETERANS' HOSPITAL STILL CENTER OF BITTER FIGHT; WILL GOVERNMENT "STAND PAT?" Washington, D. G.—Notwithstanding reports to the contrary, the Colored Veterans' Hospital at Tuskegee is to be manned from top to bottom with a corps of Negro officials, doctors, and nurses. The senators from Alabama have made a determined fight against this action being taken by the government authorities in charge of the work of providing the personnel of the hospital staff, but it is understood that President Harding has taken a decided stand in the matter on the side of the Negroes who have earnestly demanded that the hospital was theirs by every right and should be operated by members of their race. The senators have already and Negro applicants are in the course of compulsions for places on the medical staff. The president has made many friends by his action in this matter. Principal Moton is coming in for a big share of the praise for the intelligent and patient manner in which he has conducted himself during the heated controversy between the Negro and anti-Negro forces here and in Alabama where the whole state government's machinery was used to deprive the Negroes of their claim right to name of personnel of the hospital staff. TUSKEGEE HOSPITAL MUDDLE The informer, despite protests of white Alahamians, and hoped that the tension and excitement, incident with the government's avowed intention of placing a colored personnel in charge of the Tukuegee hospital for colored men, would enable them to take itself, and everything remain normally at Tukuegee. But when several hundred klauser staged a demonstration of protest there Tuesday night, this paper assumes another attitude. If such protests, demonstrations and intimidations are to be invoked by these Southern whites for a few minutes, they will not serve their own race in an institution built and dedicated for such a purpose, then the federal government should move this hospital to some Northern state—away from graffers and money-grabber. Besely, the informer is being daily led to believe that the United States Veteran's Hospital in the very heart of "Bum"—where more hell is raised every fifteen minutes than in the satanic empire in fifteen years. But when揭 figures invade the premises or pass a protest parade before the institution, it is time for the informer to warn the men, either go through with its announced policy of manning the hospital in its entirety with a race personel, or transfer the institution to a more civilized clan. Why are these Southern whites so insistent in their demands the colored professionals extend from the institution? Do these whites believe that they can render a better medical and scientific service to these black warriors than their own chony-hued brothers can perform? Is it the institute just for filthy luce, which these fat and injure federal posts will make possible? Or is it the customary Southern desire to boss and lord it over colored people? Since the "hooded patroltie" generally follow a parade with a demonstration of violence, the government will be able to deter such incidents. The hospital from Tuekenge; for past and present actions indicate that it is going to be a hot-bed of racial hatred, malignity and animosity and likely to precipitate inter-racial violence. The federal government must either clean out Tuekenge or clear out to some other community, preferably a Northern city. MEMPHIS ORATOR WILL SPEAK HERE WEDNESDAY NIGHT Hon. M. S. Stuart, President of the Memphis (Tenn.) Negro Business League and general manager of the Mississippi Life Insurance Company, Mr. Stuart, host of the Antioch Church, Wednesday night, July 11, #39;clock.

In connection with his address, mum number 115, Mr. Stuart, by Antioch Church, Mrs. M. B. Smith, guardian: Antioch orchestra, Prof. J. Haywood, leader; and the celebrated public. He is both a keen thinker, profound student, logical and pleasing speaker and Antioch Church should be a visitor. Mr. Stuart is under anglice of the Houston Colored Commercial Club, and there is no adduction charge. Let's pack Antoch next Wednesday night to greet and hear Mr. Stuart. LOCAL CARRIERS WILL PLAY C.C.C. IN BENEFIT GAME Flush with their recent victory over Prafie View's faculty team, the Colored Commercial Club baseball team will again tackle the local mali carriers at West End Park, Tuesday, 4:15 p.m. This is the second game between these two organizations this season and is a benefit game for the Dorcs School of Colored Girls, which is located on the Tomball road. The benefit game for Union Hospital which was played on the 6th uilt, net-to-net, was held on the 1st and 2nd of the first and if colored Houstonians will win their frappreciation for the efforts of these two teams, a monster crowd will witness next Tuesday's hectic struggle. If both teams live up to their previous records, the game itself will be worth twice the admission price; for example, the first-classer will win the classy article of the national pastime. Since these busy men are giving their time and talent to aid worthy and laudable racial causes, our people should show their sense of appreciation by buying the tickets and attending the event. Such benefit games should receive the support and endorsement even of our ministers; for they are simply means to the end of making possible and supporting our elemoesynary institutions. Do you remember E. McCoy will officiate? Some of the diamond stars will be: J. M. Burr, Willis Washington, Frank Gardner, Horatio Middleton, Brown, McNell, Brandon, Barclay, Courtney Waller, and others for the carriers; while the C. C. C's cause will be: John P. Pewell, John Smith, Sam (Ponzi!) Stevenson, Dr. W. J. Howard, Etihu Codwell, Dr. A. Allen, Dr. L. M. Mitchell, Leon Lee, C. P. Richardson, Hobart Thomas, Clarence Norris, McKinley Nelson, William L.

This is 15 less than the number 30 for the first six months of 1922, and 21 less than the number 36 for the first six months of 1921. Of those lynched, two were whites and 13 were Negroes. One of the latter was a woman. One of those put to death was charged with the crime of rape.

COLORED RAILWAY MAIL CLERK MADE ASSISTANT CHIEF CLERK BY DEPARTMENTAL CHIEFTAIN Chicago, Ill.—When Second Assistant Postmaster General Paul Henderson dramatized in the speech he was delivering to railway mail clerks, members of the National Alliance of Postal Employees, in the Appomattox Club last Sunday morning and without a single person in the room knowing what he planned doing, handed to John D. Gainey, a colored man, his appointment as assistant chief clerk, bedlam broke loose as cheer and congratulations poured forth on the two. For the first time in the history of the railway mail service a colored man has been appointed to a supervisory position and clerks all over the country can take an added pride in their work because of the outlet for promotion opened. Mr. Gainey was ordered by General for the station to return. He paid a Henderson to proceed to Washington, D.C. where he will be stationed and likewise was commissioned to visit the next annual convention of the National Alliance of Postal Employees which convenes in Fort Worth, July 11, as his official service and as his representative for the group. The assembly room of the Appomattox Club was crowded with railway mail clerks and members of other branches of the service. General Henderson, who is the son-in-law of Conquerant, who is the front-men of Conquerant, no colored man have been appointed from Washington to address the gathering—coming to several years due to discrimination on account of meeting from the train and leaving it.

President Alonso L. Olivares of the alliance, stationed at Atlanta, had to send a letter meeting who sent a strong letter which was read, urged abolition of the photographs. It is said that practically no colored men have been appointed to the K. M. S. for several years of discrimination on account of photographs. CIAL CLUB TEAM 10, 1923, 4. P. M.

REFERENCE MATERIAL -- Matt. PRIMARY TOPIC -- Mary, and the Baby, Jesus. JUNIOR TOPIC -- Mary and the Boy, INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOP-DISCIPSE Indicators in the life of MARY. The MOTHER AND ADULT TOP-DISCIPSE The MOTHER, the SCHOOL, I. Mary at Marseille (Lake 12, 98, 49, 58). Mary was a Jewish maid of the town of Marseille. When we have of her is that she was engaged to be married to Joseph, a carpenter, at the same village, that the town of Marseille was for betrothal to take place a year before marriage. During this time the woman remained with her parents. 1. Gabriel Sent from God to Mary (vv. 28-38). It was during this interval of betrothal before Joseph and Mary were married that God sent the angel Gabriel to announce unto Mary that she was to be the mother of Jesus. Isaiah, more than 700 years before, prophesied that a virgin should give birth to a son whose name should be called Immanuel (Isa. 7:14). Though at first perplexed, she accepted the annunciation with remarkable courage and devotion. To be told that she was to be a mother was nothing startling, for this was the normal desire of every married Jewish woman. Under the circumstances she accepted motherhood at a tremendous cost. She was conscious of her virgin purity. She knew that to become a mother under such circumstances would expose her to unutterable suspicion and shame. This was the view that certain Jews took of the matter, for they inculmated to Jesus that He was born of fornication (John 8:41). Her faith was such that she responded with noble courage. She said, "Behold the handheld of the Lord; be it unto me according to thy word" (Luke 1:38). her embarrassment she out named on a visit to an elderly knivonan named Blitheath. Having taught the sympause to her triumphant faith, carried her beheaded, and shame which awaited her, and shame which awaited her, and most wonderful song of grasps. 1. H. Mary of Bethlehem (Lake 2:1:30). What Gabriel announced to Mary was that Jesus would be consecrating a temple, freezing consecrating brought Joseph and Mary to Bethlehem at the opportunities for the fulfillment of the prophecy of the condition of the birth, the birth of the world's Saviour took place in a cave. 11. Mary in Jesus and Gaitan (Lake 2:41:32). Jesus, now at the age of twelve, went to the school where the child took his responsibility as a wizard. 1. Failure in Vigilant Care (v. 48). Jesus, now at the age of twelve, whole day's journey without where the child understood. 1. Failure in Worship. Jesus' Master understood Fully Jesus' Master and Word (v. 50). No particularensure should attach to this, as it inbound our ability now to understand all these things. 1. Failure in Jesus' Master with Jesus' Deepest Longings and Emotion. "How is it that you sought Jesus?" I must be about my Father's business. 4. Failure to Perceive Her Limit of Masterfulness. The time comes when duty to God takes precedence over duty to parents. All these limitations should be viewed with the background of her deep devotion to God. Her whole life was lived in a spiritual atmosphere. She was just the kind of woman to whom God would trust the upbringing of His Son. Jesus went back with them to Nannreth and was subject unto them. IV. Mary at the Cross (John 19:25-27). This was a great trial. For any mother to see her son die is a trial, but what must it have been for this mother in the face of all the sacred memories that clung to her soul? It is beautiful to note the tender care which Jesus in His dying hour manifested for His mother: He committed her to the care of John. John accepted the responsibility of a son and took her to his home. Our Mistakes.

Both colored and white Houstonians have slept on the job when it comes to presenting and boosting the claims of Houston as the premier convention city of Texas. No other Texas city offers these annual gatherings as much as "heavenly Houston," for we have the largest and most commodious city auditorium in Texas; and, while the whites have fine hotels for their visiting delegates, the colored citizens have splendid and well-appointed homes, and perhaps more of them than in any other Texas city. Yet both races fail to go out and try to land these annual meetings for our great and growing municipality, and as a result cities smaller than Houston are gaining statewide and national fame as convention cities. During the last ten or eleven years there have been about three grand lodges held in Houston, viz: Taborian, Pythian and Odd Fellows. Yet with the exception of the Masonic grand lodge, which meets annually at Fort Worth, all other Texas grand lodges are movable, that is, they meet in different cities each succeeding year. Already three grand lodges have met this year in other Texas cities, and, despite the fact that Houston has more members in all the various lodges than any other city in the Lone Star State (having the largest colored population), no concerted effort is ever made by the local lodges to bring these yearly gatherings to our great city. The Informer would suggest that the Colored Commercial Club's convention committee get busy and see that Houston's claims are put forward at the forthcoming grand lodge of the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows, which convenes in San Antonio, August 6, 1923, and the United Brothers of Friendship and Sisters of the Mysterious Ten, which holds forth in Fort Worth, July 23, 1923. The Odd Fellows, according to information received from Grand Master H. G. Gore, will more than likely have their temple erected and ready for occupancy by August, 1924 (as it is expected to award the contract immediately upon adjournment of the forthcoming grand lodge), and it will be very fitting and appropriate to hold the 1924 session in the Magnolia City. The Informer suggests that the local lodges of Odd Fellows and Ruths begin right now to lay plans for mabbing the 1924 grand lodge for Houston; for this order is one of the Texas fraternities that enjoys such a large attendance at its annual meetings that very few cities in Texas can really accommodate it. The United Brothers of Friendship and Sisters of the Mysterious Ten holdings in the heart of the city, have not held an annual session in Houston since the purchase of this property, years ago; and when the Houston delegation began to button-hole delegates at the 1922 grand lodge in Marshall, it was suggested that Houston accord her support to Fort Worth and that the 1924 grand lodge would be Houston's. But these grand lodges do not come to any city where the local lodges do not bestir themselves and make a spirited fight for the annual sessions; for other cities, which seem to know what such big gatherings mean to them and their interests, are always on the scene advancing their claims for the next session. Houston has had fewer grand lodges and conventions than any city in Texas, and this is really a reflection upon the civic pride of its colored and white citizenry—which is as good as any citizenry in any other Texas city, and a lot better than that in not a new Lone Star burge. But these other towns and cities sell themselves to these grand lodges and conventions, while the Houston delegations are generally divided and fighting among themselves for empty homes and spoils, and never think about boosting and advertising their city at such gatherings. When the Houston Advertising Club, at the recent international convention, presented and pushed the claims of our city far the 1924 world's convention against London, England, metwithstanding the fact that London won and Houston gave over to the Beatons' claims, it did more to advertise Houston nationally and internationally than anything in the city's history. Nothing beats advertising, unless it is more advertising; and we need to get on the job in this respect and put in our aid for every grand lodge and convention in Texas. We have the conveniences, the climate, the homes, the flood, the auditorium and all the trimming for holding a successful and pleasant grand session or convention; but unless the merchant advertises his wares, it matters not what merit they may possess, and the merchant can do it in ways whoops it up, often with a less meritorious stock, will garner in the sheckles and do a box-office business. Let's get busy, Brother Odd Fellows and United Brothers of Friendship, and bring the 1924 grand lodge of both of these great, famous men. "We are the United Brothers of America"—a city justly fanned for its beautiful homes, beautiful women, handsome men big-hearted citizens, rich of racial amity, "n everything." "Houston for 1924!" should and must be the slogan of the Houston Odd Fellows and United Brothers of Friendship at the fourth floor of the building. "Let's tell the world that "Houston's got 'em!" THE BIG AND LITTLE BULL FROGS. We once heard an anecdote about a big bull frog and a little bull frog that runs something like this: The big bull frog was floating or swimming up the stream, when he met a little bull frog and in their peculiar language asked the smaller brother to join him in the aquatic journey. The little bull frog "reneged" at first, but when his larger brother inquired about it, he cast a moustache at the small brother, up the stream he shot. After they had gone a few feet they saw a fisherman with a bait on the end of a dangerous hook, whereupon the big bull frog said to the little bull frog: "Bite at it!" The little bull frog rejoined: "You bite at it!" Again the big bull frog invoked his bluffing preemptives and with a basso profundo voice ejaculated: "Bite at it, I say!" Fearing bodily injury from the hands of his larger brother, the little bull frog aggrieved the hand and hook, opened his mouth and a healthy effort to do at he was commended. In trying to bite the bait, the hook landed in his mouth and he became a victim of the fisherman. Seeing the little bull frog's predicament and sad lot, Brother Big Bull Frog gave him this admonition: "Turn it loose!" The little bull frog, with difficulty, replied: "I can't turn it loose!" Once more the big bull frog tried his bluff and this time jumped in the direction of the little bull frog with a second "Turn it loose!" Again the little bull frog, completely at the mercy of the heart, weakly and sorrowfully replied: "I can't turn it loose!" The big bull frog, knowing that smaller brothers had been torn apart by the shark and fired this parting remark as he continued his journey up the stream, "Well, good-bye! Good-bye!" There are lots of people in the world who are exact counterparts of these two bull frogs: They will urge and encourage their friends to get their head in a crack and then when some has been done, they will dart away and leave their unfortunate friends at the mercy and peril of the enemy. Too many of us are like the little bull frog—we are always ready to help, and we quickly glibwallow that of some "friendly" adviser, and then when we "can't turn it loose," they give us the horse-laugh and the "good-bye." His friends raised the issue of denomination and made him the scape-goat and then when the smoke of battle had closed assays and the votes had been tabulated, he not only had failed to hurl the gun at the enemy but never lost the position that he had held in the order for many years. We admit that the bait may not tempt and appetize at times, but when the big bull frog advises and admonishes us to "bite at it," let us not only tell him to "bite at it," but let us refrain from getting the hook all tied up in our mouths and become the hungling stock of the big bull frog and his fratern. In other words, do not be the victim of designing politicians and the scape-goat, but be the victim of feather their own little nest; for in the end you will be the lion and will be left to your sad and bitter fate all by your "humanness." DALLAS TEAM CHALLENGED The Houston Colored Commercial team, which will play the local mail carriers at West End Park, Tuesday, July 10, has invited a challenge, per Editor John W. Rice of the Dallas Eagles, to the game. The team will play in the North Texas burg during the present season. We want to see Dra. Hamilton, Ward, Dynon, White, Williamson; Profie, Rice, Rhoads, Fox, Lockhart; Will Ewing, Chan, Brunckland, Adams, Coffeed, McMillan, Crawford, Lee, Jones and other celebrities cavorting on the diamond and trying to come back. If “it’s in Dallas,” as these residents of the North Texas burg so strongly and viscerally bonerize, then the Houston Colored Game will team still stands by The Informer’s slag, “Honeston’s got ‘em’. Can the Dallas Negro Business League get up a handball team to try their skill and diamond dexterity against the 3 C’s of Honeston, have the majority of their members fallen victims to Father Time? SOUTH'S GREATEST WEEKLY NEWSPAPER What The South Spends For Colored Education Statistics showing the part played by denial of educational opportunities to Southern Negroes in bringing about the northward migration, were published recently by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 70 Fifth Avenue, New York City. The statistics, taken from state educational reports, show that in some cases $8 to $10 is spent upon every white pupil in the Southern States for $1 spent upon the colored pupil; and that colored teachers are so underpaid as to make it impossible in some cases for them to live upon their salaries. The pupils in a number of states, taken from recent state reports, are as follows: In all of the Southern States, according to the report of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, small and inexpensive libraries among those supplied to Negro children. Furthermore, little or no provision is made for transporting children to and from school. Also, school terms are almost universally shorter for colored children than for white.

Jones of Arkansas. (By William Pickens, for A. N. P.) This Scipio is the REAL “Africanus,” not by the artificial vote of the Roman senate, but by actual ties of blood. He was the legal heart and brains of the “Arkansas cases,” and is not to be honored for destroying Africans but for saving them. The Romans had their artificial “Scipio Africans Minor” and their “Scipio Africanus Major.” To these we add the “Scipio Africanus Maximus,” of Arkansas, the present, the living, the relief. It was through the trained head and the devoted heart of this man that the N. A. A. C. P. was able to successfully prosecute the cases of Arkansas people during four years—at a minimum expense. Thirty-odd years ago, when we were a little child, we remember the young lawyer, “Scipio Jones,” who was fighting his way into the courts of Arkansas. He was an inspiration, even to the little children—and the sister, when he was 12 years old, used to take her position in the middle of the floor, raise her hands forensically, use big and solemn words, and conclude by exclaiming: “I’m Scipio Jones!” PUBLIUS CORNELIUS SCIPIO AFRICANUS MAJOR, of the fame of Cannae, defeated Hadrubal and Hannibal and conquered Carthage, in the third century, B.

But our SCIPIO AFRICANUS MAXIMUS, of the fame of Elaine, in Phillips County, Arkansas, in the twentieth century, A. D., has not destroyed but saved, and is not so much a conquerer as a defender of his king. Any Negro that can practice law for over thirty years in Arkansas, and not be jailed or disgraced or bribed or shot, has conquered in a harder fight than was ever faced by a free and civilized Roman.

TOO MUCH NORRIS BEAT ISLANDERS IN 4TH CONTEST TOO MUCH NORRIS BEAT ISLANDERS IN 4TH CONTEST Whifring 19 of the heavy-hitting Islanders, the majority of whom were pros and semi-pro, and permitting the teams of which were of the fluky variety), Clarence Norris, stellar slamman for the Houston mall carrier, sealed the doom of the Galveston carriers in a hamburger in the Island City, on July Fourth. This youthful hurler had everything and he made the heavy-artillery of the Galveston carriers look like a football team. The team took three healthy swats at the apple and returned to the dug-out. So exciting was the game that the Houston team had to run and permitted the game to go 19 innings. Yet the Houston carriers were sport editor being on the scene and keeping on eplay on every. This fifth inning was the fourth inning, Burr's dash to the plate in the fifth inning as the last batter was hitting the wicked work. Horrosel cleaned the macks with a smashing double and the team's roaring triple to deep right-center. Galveston scored two runs in their half of the first frame, due to a few bobbies and misplays by the Houston players and made their final marker when Middleton dropped a fly with a man on third and two babies retired. It was a pitching duel between C. Norris for Houston and C. Jackson for Galveston, with Norris carrying off the premier honor. Jackson had plenty of speed, but little baseball strategy, and the score should have been larger had not the Houston carriers thrown away several chances to score. For Galveston the outstanding stars were: Fitcher Jackson, First Sacker Preston ("Preacher"), Jones, Center Fielder L. Austin, and Catcher W. Russell. For Houston Norris was about the main works, excepting the bludgeons of Middleton, Washington and "Carrier" Mitchell; while the fielding of Washington and Nathan twice saved the day for the local cause. No better article of baseball has ever been witnessed in the Island City and the rooting and cheering would have done credit to a world's series; Houstonans outnumber Galveston's average. After the game the Houston carriers and the delegation were entertained by the Galveston carriers at Gulf View Park, Messars, Patrick, Bee and Antone covering themselves with glory with the seafood supper, and, the manner in which the Houstonians devoured the vials, seemed to indicate that it was indeed a grand and glorious Fourth.

Mr. Rich started in the insurance business there was not a single colored company in Texas writing insurance for our people and thus of his twenty years were spent with the company that specialized in colored insurance. Mr. Mutual was originally originated in 1968, he left his white company and joined forces with his former comrades to make a colored insurance company out of outstanding success. And thus after fifteen years of striving and efforts, he is rewarded, fed, dined and wished by his employers, policyholders and others. It was really an inspiring occasion and goes to show that flowers scattered one can smell their scents on a wall. It is more than floral contributions piled awkward up one corner at the terminal. It was a great night for George Robert Rich, as well as his better half and American Natural Benefit Association. "DON'T WAIT TILL HE DEAD." (By Mrs. Mildred Barnes Smith).

The sanitary sewer has already been laid over the greater portion of the property. Water lines have also been installed and, remember this—the water connection and sanitary connection is free. 3rd—You will not have to wait for improvements, because, as stated in the preceding paragraph, the sanitary sewer and the water lines are already practically completed, and work is now under way on the streets. At the time of this writing teams are digging a large drainage ditch to Brays Bayou, which will mean that Forest Home will be a well drained property. 4th—At the prices that we are offering Forest Home lots and with the manner in which it is being developed, there is no question but that there will be considerable increase in value on these lots as time passes. 5th—We are offering Forest Home Lots at prices and on terms that make them within reach of every ambitious man or woman who wants a location for a home, or who wants to make a profitable investment.

The writer has been authorized to tell the world that on their next trip a much different talk will be told, if the writer himself has to stage a "come back" in the pitcher's box. Notwithstanding the regular monthly exams were the main feature on last week's program, the hospital staff was not overworked. The summer normal teaching staff was augmented this week by the addition of Prof. P. Watkins, Houston, who will take charge of the classes in U.S. history and physiology. Mr. Watkins is vice principal of Langston School in his home town, and a teacher of history, and Prof. Posey, the summer normal conductor, is to be congratulated on his share.
