Houston Informer

ARE NOT LOCAL DEMOCRATS ILLEGALLY HOLDING COUNTY OFFICES LOYAL FRIENDS MEET IN HOUSTON HOME EDITION VOL. VIII We were glad to see our friends, Mr. McGruder, formerly of Victoria and Hickory, planer of Richmond, occupying high positions in this church. We also met with the church, which is the church, was kept very busy after the sermon selling The Informer. (This church sells 100 or more sermons a week.) Herald is true to every racial cause and appeal. Our ministers need to adopt the Hubbard policy of preaching to their members on the issues of the day, particularly in advance of such a crisis. The program is Houston, for unless the people are properly enlightened, they cannot be preached to pass out their program. Here hoping other ministers will help their members or talks to their congregations Sunday, July 18, and urge their members to go on polls at Santa Monica and exercise their franchise rights. In a republican democracy such as ours, the ballot is the greatest and most important tool to get their rights, and the man or woman who casts votes to whenever and where they want portunity, can not hope for much from those in office or those who aspire to be president. Rev. Hubbard, you are right; for "The fight is on, the trumpet sound is ringing out, The cry. To arma! is heard afar and near: The Lord of hosts is marching on to victory, the trump of the right will soon appear." **LIKING, LOQUAGIO LIAIS.** Running true-to-form, some of them recent editorial, Little Miss Pig, and that it was the result of a financial transaction and consideration. They are paying to pay attention to such baseless and malicious charges, but we merely mention that some of people in their favorite pastime of lying and rumor-mongering, for sale, neither does this paper place its stamp of approval upon vice and indiscretion or improper act. That one reason why this paper never gives people that reflect both upon the person or persons and the race. Immorality, idolessness, vice, hypocrisy and idolatry prevalent among our people, as well as other races need to return to the ancient landmarks of sobriety, honesty, morality, integrity and must begin our work at the family fireside, and cause being entrained to jazzmusic and fast, high age of jazzmusic and fast, high age. No person can violate the laws of justice, and cause being entrained to run contrarise to His divine statutes and run off after stranger we can, not when we must pay the price. THE HOUSTON INFORMER Apropos of the decision of Judge Moneithi of the Sixty-First District Court of Harris County, holding that the offices of county chairman and chairman of the county executive committee are distinct and separate offices, and that a person making application for his name to go on the official ballot of his party for election to said place in a primary election of his political party (operating under the Terrell election laws of Texas, which make it mandatory upon a political party polling 100,000 or more votes in the last gubernatorial election preceding the holding of said primary, to hold a primary election), has improperly filed for said office unless he specifically states on his application that he is a candidate for county chairman, presents a grave issue among local democrats and is calculated to precipitate or create an embarrassing situation among democratic office-holders and office-seekers in Harris County. In the convention system in Texas and the substitution of the primary election for nominating various candidates for district, state and county offices, the aspirants for titular head of the democratic party in Harris County have not only been filing as candidates for "chairman of the democratic executive committee of Harris County," but these candidates have not been nominated for the convention (see record in office of county clerk), and have been nominated and elected to office of "chairman of the democratic executive committee of Harris County" Though serving both as county chairman and chairman of the democratic executive committee (under the statutes of Texas the outgoing other and his election to either makes him occupy the other office—a dual office), the titular head of the democratic party in Harris County is never mentioned nor alluded to as "county chairman," but always as "chairman of the executive committee." If Judge Moneithi's ruling is correct and he is upheld by a higher court, then the legal status of the democratic "chairman of the Harris County executive committee" is of a very doubtful nature; and having improperly filed for said office (according to the district judge's decision), said democratic "chairman" has filed for and been elected to an office that is not elective. In the case of the damnous proceedings and have said "chairman" ousted from office on the recent ruling of Judge Walter E. Moneithi of the Sixty-First District Court. The Informer wonders if the able jurist knew the import and effect of his ruling, and that his decision in the Richardson cause trial was not a party chief in Harris County, as well as with all democratic county officials and candidates, even including the learned judge? Richardson Issues Voters Statement About Court Ruling C. F. Richardson, editor-publisher The Hon. Infonator and candidate their legal fight last Friday in the Sixty- Fifth District Court, presided over by the editor sought a mandatory injunction to compel the Harris County re- sponsibility on the official party ballot his name on the official party ballot July 24, 1982, for election of Saturday, to the county clerk as a candidate for county chairman or chairman of the county board, and to answer the following statement: "Since the adverse decision of Judge notwithin the Sixty-Fifth District Court represents a junction to force the Harris County republican executive committee to print my name on the official primary ballot of the party as a cando- 员 of the executive committee, to be voted on Saturday, 24, 1983, many of my supporters have inquired to the decision of the court does not hold that my name shall not or can not be used by the judge, the executive committee could not be forced to have same paper there- dered, the judge must not use the same executive committee of the county chairman and chairman of the county executive committee not one and the same of improperly filed for the office sought more legal technique which the judge must use to support, not only democratic customers, unages or precedents substantiate. in some form or manner, for our folly and sin. But when we hear something about our neighbor that is ... tary, and ... South's Greatest Weekly Newspaper HOUSTON, TEXAS, SATURDAY, JULY 17, 1926 "The election laws of Texas provide that the voters of any political party can write in the name of any person for any office within the gift of the voters, and those supporting me for county chairman of the Harris County election are to be elected by the employ their pencils on Saturday, July 24, and write in my name, after drawing a black line through the name of R. B. Morris, the 'Ily-white, Negro-hating' county chairman and a candidate to succeed himself. This procedure is legal and the ballots must be counted or we shall contest the legality of said election." "If any of these ballots are tampered with, the election or if any of the voters are interfered with, in any wise by the election officials, or if any test is imposed upon any voter other than the one the law provides to be printed on the official primary ballot, we shall resort to court proceedings for a fair and secure deal." "The voters and citizens have a right to exercise their elective franchise right, and to say who shall be their county chairman, despite auto-redemption of the election rules and edicts of political body. We have adopted as our slogan and battle-cry: 'Let's right a wrong with our pencils on election day, Saturday, July 24, 1928!' "As to the legality or illegality of my filing for the office, if the ruling of the judge is correct, then the democrats of Harris County have been filing improperly and illegally and have been filing in a manner which is依法受控的 to said office illegally and improperly; for the democratic ballot of Harris County, for the primary election of Saturday, July 24, 1928, shows that Henry M. Dudley, Guy C. Harris and W. R. Morin are the democratic candidates for 'chairman executive committee'.

IF WE ARE CORRECT IN OUR CONTENTION, THEN, SINCE HE HOLDS OFFICE ILLEGALLY (HAVING FILLED FOR AND BEEN ELECTED TO AN OFFICE THAT IS NOT ELECTIVE AND IS SEPARATE AND DISTINCT FROM THE OFFICE OF COUNTY CHAIRMAN, ALL CANDIDATES WHO HAVE FILED THEIR CANDIDACIES WITH HIM FOR THE SEVERAL COUNTY OFFICES, HAVE ILLEGALLY AND IMPROPERLY FILED; FOR THEY HAVE FILED THEIR CANDIDACIES WITH AN OFFICIAL WHOSE LEGAL STATUS DOES NOT EXIST FOR SUCH FUNCTIONS. IF THE COURT'S DECISION IN THE CAUSE OF RICH AND DISTINCT COUNTY CANDIDATES THERE ARE NO DEMOCRATIC COUNTY CANDIDATES FOR THE 1926 PRIMARY ELECTION; FOR ALL OF THESE CANDIDATES FILED APPLICATIONS TO GO ON THE OFFICIAL DEMOCRATIC PRIMARY BALLOT WITH THE "CHAIRMAN OF THE DEMOCRATIC EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE," WHO WAS ALSO, IN 1924 AND PRECEDING ELECTION YEARS, AN OFFICIAL FOR THE OFFICE "CHAIRMAN DEMOCRATIC EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE OF HARRIS COUNTY." GOING A BIT FURTHER, IF THE OFFICES OF COUNTY CHAIRMAN AND CHAIRMAN OF THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE ARE TWO SEPARATE AND DISTINCT OFFICES, AND THE LATTER IS NOT ELECTIVE AND, ANY PERSON APPLYING OR FILEING THE CANDIDACY FOR SAID OFFICE COMMITTEE, IS IMPROPERLY AND ILLEGALLY FILED FOR THE OFFICE OF "COUNTY CHAIRMAN." WE DOUBT VERY SERIOUSLY WHETHER ANY OF THE PRESENT HARRIS COUNTY OFFICIALS HAVE THE LEGAL RIGHT TO OCCUPY THEIR PRESENT OFFICES IN THE COUNTY GOVERNMENT. All of the present Harris County officials, as candidates for their respective office, filed their candidates with the "chairman executive committee," who in turn, with his executive committee and primary committee, certified their names to the county clerk. IF THE DEMOCRATIC "COUNTY CHAIRMAN" FILED FOR THE OFFICE OF "CHAIRMAN DEMOCRATIC EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE OF HARRIS COUNTY," AND WAS ELECTED TO A NON-ELECTIVE OFFICE, THEN ALL CAN- DIXIE'S NEGRO HIGH SCHOOLS ARE 166, SURVEY DISCLOSES Under the direction of the National Association of Teachers in Colored Schools, W. A. Robinson, supervisor of North Carolina Negro's high school education survey of high schools for Nevada, in January 1974, the state, as associated editor of The Bulletin, official organ of the National Association of Teachers in Colored Schools, representing the department of Nevada, was a member of the National Association of Teachers in the June issue of The Bulletin, The Nevada Edition, in January 1974. To serve a population of 10,000,000 Negroes, he finds that there are only 10,000 Nevada-based schools supported by the various public and private educational forces of the South. The state departments of education are beginning to take on increased interest in high school education. The Nevada Education Commission of Mr. Robinson's throws much light on what has been a dark situation. Along these lines if it takes all summer. While writing in my name my require a minute or two more of your time at the voting booth, let us make a note of the fact that the Nevada, a vantage, and march to the polls, both men and women, like we did in that memorable political battle in this city and county during 1920, and completing the election in 1921, the Nevada Regime in Houston and Harris County, the Nevada Regime in Houston and Harris County, the Nevada Regime in Houston and Harris County, which must be 300 feet from the democratic booths, and if no voting booth is provided in your pre-election, you will be required to be a “New” Richardson headquarters, 409-410 Odd Fellows Temple, phone Preston 1243. If we work together and push this cause as we did in 1920, we can be a wonderful victory on July 24, 1926. “We intend to see it to that Morris and his gang conduct the election according to the election laws of Texas, and ask that you watch for any one who is not a “New” Richardson headquarters, or any irregularity connected with holding this primary election. Go to polls, take your pencils, draw a black line through the name of R. B. Morris, president of the Nevada Republican candidate for county chairman, and write in the name of C. P. RICHARDSON.

THIS BINGE, ANY CITIZEN HAS THE CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHT TO RESORT TO COURT PROCEEDINGS AND ENJOIN BOTH THE PRESENT CHAIRMAN OF THE DEMOCRATIC EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE OF HARRIS COUNTY" AND ALL COUNTY OFFICIALS AND PRESENT DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATES FOR VARIOUS COUNTY OFFICES FROM SERVING OR RUNNING; FOR THEY HAVE FILED WITH THE WRONG OFFICIAL, AS FAR AS HIS LEGAL TITLE AND ELECTIVE STATUS ARE CONCERNED, ACCORDING TO JUDGE MONTEITH'S DECISION LAST FRIDAY MORNING. If a person filing for "chairman of the county executive committee" of any political party has no more right to be placed on the ballot for the party for "county chairman," than the name of any candidate for county office or the name of chairman of the commissioner's court, as the counsel for Morris contended and to which the court agreed in the Richardson cause, then the entire democratic machinery in Harris County is in immediate need of repairs, and the democratic party and the right (according to Judge Monteith's latest ruling) to function in the offices they occupy. This is as plain as the nose on one's face, for after all law is based largely and principally upon common sense and equity; and what is improper and illegal for members of one political party, is what is proper and legal for members of one political party; and what is proper and legal for members of one political organization, is also proper and legal for members of another political organization! As we stated in the original paragraph in this editorial—in view of democratic customs, usages, practices and precedents in the history of the United States—Judge Monteith Chronicle and Houston Post-Dispatch) of Sunday, June 20, 1926, three democratic candidates for "county chairman" (see Post-Dispatch, June 20, page 2, column 5) are on the official ballot of their party as candidates for "chairman executive committee;" being printed on the present ballots that way. Judge Monteith's recent decision presents a grave issue among local democrats, and candidates in the primary election of Saturday, July 24, 1926. In the meantime, voters, march to the polls like we did in 1920, draw a black line through the name of R. B. Morris, printed on the republican ballot as candidate for "County Chairman," to the president and write in this name: C. F. RICHARDSON. "That'll git it." Order Holds Annual Grand Lodge Here (By S. B. WILLIAMS.) Those not acquainted with what is going on in the city passing the Emancipation Park 4th week, and seeing the great tented city, encircled by improvised cafes, root beer stands, ice cream dispensers, and just plain hot fish vendors, and the vast concurrence of people promenading along the Mascara Road, the National Order of Mammoth oaks, while others intently listening to floods of oratory on the inside of the auditorium, would have thought that Houstonians were celebrating the second week in July as their Emancipation week. However, those persons who have kept up with the local news and the National Order stood that all this activity at the park was occasioned by the assembling of the delegates, grand officers and visitors to the seventh annual grand session of the Loyal Friends of America. The grand session opened Monday morning at the National Order of Master J. W. Hunt, Dallas, appointed the several committees on credentials, rules of order, necrology, etc. Rev. J. S. Henry, Waco, was made chairman of the committee on credentials. More than 300 delegates were present at the opening ceremony. Mayor Pro-Tem Delivered. Monday night the spacious auditorium was filled with visiting delegates. The meeting was held at the same time as the order to hear the addresses of welcome by the different persons assigned this duty. Hon. H. A. Halverton, mayor, of the City of Houston, in his usual pleasing style, assured the visitors that Houston extended to them all the presents and the mission a most cordial welcome. The address met with a hearty response from the audience. S. C. Counter, Colbert, Oklahoma, responded to the city official's words of welcome in a manner creditable to himself and the order he represents. R. W. Johnson, pastor, Bayton, of the City of Houston, at the head of ceremonies. Annual Reports Submitted.

Among the prominent visitors who addressed the assembly were the supervisors of the Wonderful Workers of the World, who brought fraternal visitors to the conference. In the afternoon the grand master, grand secretary, and other grand officers made their annual reports, affording visitors a glimpse of the officers was held, which resulted in practically the entire corps of officers. Some of the salient facts emphasized in the report were: 1919 the membership was 139, 1919 34 members, and at this session there are present representatives from over 20 countries; the state of Oklahoma and the space of seven years the membership has grown from 34 to 23,000, scattered the states of the United States; the claims that the Loyal Friends of America is the fastest growing multinational organization. Memorial Services Held. Tuesday afternoon, at 4 p. m., memorial services were held for the 100 or more deceased members who had died during the year. At 8 p. m. Rev. J. J. Hardeman, national grand bishop, delivered the annual sermon, and Thursday night the auditorium was packed to its utmost to listen to an address by Dr. Sutton E.

Your committee has completed the proposed survey of one hundred homes occupied by Negro homes, including the ten homes in the city. To carry out the prescribed plan, they were divided into ten groups of ten homes each, in almost every interior of the city. Each type of home was visited, that being a sufficient number in the opinion of the committee, twenty-two of the middle, and seventy-two of the upper.

Although a full report was made to your committee after each group survey, and the records on hand in the study, the method of the information, it is the outstanding problems in the lives of the women and children of the low type homes, as found in the records, we desire to stress. All three types have three problems in common: The absence of parks, playgrounds, or recreation spaces of any kind, if we except one public playground. Many of us do not know that this condition exists. 2. Too high rents. 3. Bad conditions of many of the streets which are impassable after heavy rains, and Glthy gutters. One neighborhood of middle type homes complained bitterly of a dumping ground in their midst to which dead animals were brought. Additional problems of the low type homes are: 4. The dependence in too many cases of the children upon the earnings of the mother where the father is a ne'er do well or a deserter. 5. Overcrowded conditions; a family of ten in one instance, living in two rooms. 6. The indifference of landlords to the proper housing of their tenants and to sanitary conditions, although, as indicated above, rents all out of a proportion are being paid. Homes poorly lighted, ventilated, (and in more than one case several families using the same toilet). 7. The great need for day nurseries where mothers who must work in the day care setting are very urgent. We do not mean to convey the importance of all these conditions exist in every home of our community in many cases we found happy mother relations, thrift, good management, your Committee having found the affordable unfavorable conditions to the success of our commissions; your Committee having been directed to the success of the bill providing for a hospital; 2. That the juvenile court be asked to cooperate with the full extent of its jurisdiction by the next legislature; 3. That fathers to provide for their children. 4. That a park be provided by the city authorities for the pleasure, and enjoyment of its fathers to provide for their children. 5. That the settlement sections of the city. 6. The establishment of day nurseries. 7. The department of public work be required to keep residents keep the gutters free of debris from becoming dumping ground.

You can learn a great deal from that slog, because many things you see advertised are the same. You can buy them in use in regular daily life. By reading the advertisements, you can learn the names and read descriptions of the things that are best and most useful. But advertising teachers more than that. All advertisers try to make their advertisements themselves valuable to you. A good many people have learned a whole lot about, good music, good books, good food, good clothes, ways to keep healthy, ways to live comfortably, ways to keep the house and grounds looking well—they've learned all these things. You can buy them. Read the advertisements right along, and you will learn a great deal that will be helpful and valuable to you as you go through life. PETER H.

HOUSTON, TEXAS, SATURDAY, JULY 17, 1926 E. P. SCOTT OUR CHOICE FOR GOVERNOR. The Informer is pleased to announce that it is supporting Judge E. P. Scott of Corpus Christi, one of the two republican candidates for governor in the primary election of Saturday, July 24, 1926; and this paper urges the genuine republicans of Texas to march to the polls on election day, scratch the name of H. H. Haines of Houston, and leave untouched and unmarked the name of E. P. Scott of Corpus Christi. Judge Scott is a life-long Lincoln republican, and still believes in the principles of the party as enunciated by Lincoln, Grant and Roosevelt; he is against the present picture-hunting brigade led by the Republican candidate, William P. Pleasant-Lee, "Rolling Bouncer" Morris, "Get Everything" Kepple and others of their ilk, and it is up to the Texas republicans to nominate Judge Scott as their gubernatorial candidate on Saturday, July 24, 1926. "His Honor" Haines of Houston, whose republicanism was vividly characterized by Creationism in the Tumblr-Pastelist community, conference, after finding it impossible to get a real republican to aspire for the office under the Creager standards, has always maintained a passive and compromising attitude towards the real republicans of Texas, and his nomination or selection was not done "according to Hoyle." The Houston candidate may be all right and he may ring true as a representative of the republican in republicanism, because he keeps; for a man is judged by the company he keeps rather than by the company that keeps him. Colonel Haines is the candidate of that fact of the republican party in Texas commonly known as "illly-white," its adherents, devotees and proponents hold to the views that the party should be strictly Nordic (white), and that only members of said party should be represented by the republican councils, affairs, conventions, primaries and deliberations in Texas. This is the same faction of self-styled republicans which has persistently opposed the black men and women exercising their prerogatives as American citizens and republican electors, and it is rumored this same gang plans to have a bill introduced at a subsequent session of the Texas legislature making the republican party the majority. The leaders of this republican clique and clan, in referring to members of the colored race, call our women vile names and dub the entire race as "niggers," "darkies," "coons," and such objectable designations. The titular leader of the "lily-white" republican party of Texas, Creager, has not only sought to control party affairs in the state and dispense all federal patronage, but he has publicly boasted that the republican party in Texas shall hereafter be a "white man" who never again will any black man appear on the Texas delegation as a delegate or alternate to the national republican conventions. He and his chenchmen persist in holding so-called republican confabs, conferences, caucuses and conventions in white hotels, white residences and at other places where the republican voters can not attend the same, despite the resolution against such procedure introduced and unanimously passed at the republican convention in August 1920, same being presented by Senator Warren of Michigan. Because of his growing strength and popularity, being the only republican congressman from Texas, the partisan firm of Creager, Nolte, Lee & Co., is doing everything within its might to defeat the renomination and re-election of Congressman Harry M. Wurzbach in the 14th congressional district of Texas; the fight on Wurzbach having been launched by Creager when the congressmen of the floor of Congress of the House conditions obtaining among the republican bosses in Texas. Judge Scott is the Wurzbach candidate for governor on the republican ticket, and, if we want to slap the "illy-white" regime and show to national party leaders that we are for building up a strong party in preference to a bureau for distributing federalaffirmative and vote for E. P. Scott of Corpus Christi, Saturday, July 24, 1926. Every qualified voter, whether male or female, can cast a ballot in this republican primary; the court of civil appeals at San Antonio handing down a recent decision that the voter's intention and not his past partisan record constituted the only determining factor in his or her right to vote. Let every genuine, rock-ribbed republican in Texas, particularly those of African descent, march to the polls on election day and vote for the "illy-white" republican, and leave untouched on the ballot of the name of E. P. Scott of Corpus Christi, a true Lincoln republican. The Houston Informer South's Greatest Weekly Newspaper Voters To Write C.F.Richardson (Continued from Page One.) As exemption certificate, can vote in this election. Several campaign speeches were made by Prof. Waldo Matthews, political ace; Hobart Taylor, sage of Wharton; N.

The South has been redeveloped by Pillow Plains of the Ancient Order of the Pilgrims of the erection of a modern office building in the city. The quarter of a million dollars, which will be located at the corner of our street, will serve as a home for the supreme of the order, as well as an office building for men and women of our race. In acquiring the Pythian Temple on Schwartz Street, King Solomon Grand Hospital, we kept within the race a valuable piece of property, but encumbered the name of the institutions having enough business to warrant the opportunity to invest their surplus money in a city, which is destined to be Local grand lodge officers of the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows, Endowment Secretary J. H. Riddle in particular, are wearing the "smile that won't come off," since the consummation of a deal of last week in which the Odd Fellows purchased the ప్రधान Temple on Schwartz Street, which they held a second lien mortgage for $4,700 for $20,000, and sold it to the Scottish Rite Masons for $50,000, making a net profit of about $10,000. We mention the fact, not that we are not tired of the whole affair, but because the race papers still consider it as news, that Mrs. Alice Rhinelander has booked passage for herself and family, on a vessel, sailing for Paris, France. It was reported some weeks ago, that Kip Rhinelander, the lょhombel of Alice, called for Paris, and it is the opinion that the two are to be re-united across the pond. Chicago papers were full this week of the recent arfest of "Prince Kojo," in his native home in Africa, on the charge of swindling. It will be recallable in the first-tested prince had the social elite of Chicago, and the race faces about him and the ladies of both races were fairly stepping on each other's toes in the attempt to gain his royal highness' winsome smile, and it is also remembered that when this prince charming sailed for his home he was accompanied by wealthy widow of the three full-lilability is not confined to race, color or creed, all falling for the royal blood line of "bull."

BRYAN VETERAN URGES RICHARDSON'S ELECTION FOR COUNTY CHAIRMAN Editor Houston Informer: Since it appears that Congressman Wurzbach will emerge victorious in his fight with the "lily-white" lord, R. B. Creager of Brownville, celebrated Northern carpet-bagger, in the 14th congressional district, and with his Wurzbach's candidate for governor Judge E. P. Scott of Corpus Christi, who was named the first president in Harris County and Houston to stand by C. F. Richardson, the fearless editor who has faced dangers, seen and unseen, for his race, and elect him county chairman of the republican party. Richardson was the only real republican in Harris County that had nerve enough to announce for office against the "lily-white" machine there, and no colored voter should prove himself or herself a slacker in this present campaign. Every colored voter should go to the voting places on the 24th of July, scratch the name of R. B. Morris, and on the official record, the vote has a candidate for county chairman, take their pencil and write in the name of C. F. Richardson. Let's stand by Congressman Harry M. Wurzbach, Judge E. P. Scott and Editor C. F. Richardson. If any Negroes vote against Richardson, please tell their national address; for we are getting rid of all the money who thus sell their race for more porridge. Go out, friends, and vote for C. F. Richardson for county chairman of Harris County on Saturday, July 24, 1936. Yours for a sweeping victory. R. B. GOOSIBY and Mr. R. M. T. Andrewa, and Mr. R. M. T. Andrewa and R. R. Jr., returned Wednesday to Brooklyn, N. Y, where they attended the National B. Y. P. U. and Sunday School Congress. En route home the students, they were taken to where, where they were royally entertained by the Texas colony. Write it: C. F. RICHARDSON. July 24. Geneva Fisher, Jefferson; Mrs. L. M.
