The Masons date back to times which are now considered hazy and dim. All faith is sprinkled with the members of that craft, and which has become another name for brotherhood and camaraderie among men. Age and honorable activity, together with the spirit of benevolence have made for a hovering hale to the bodies of that Order as a whole. King and peasant are fellows of that great society. The Odd Fellows are more of the mediaevalism, but also antedating all Lodges, perhaps, excepting the Masons. The great humanitarian principles also surcharge here, supplementing the great work of soothing and caring for the distressed. These great Lodges are also with us as they are with the white race, performing duties in kind, winning the blessings of mankind owing to their spirit of helplessness. We have many more orders, the U. B. F. and others, which are entitled to consideration for their great work. None of these, however, exceed the great modern Lodge of Knights of Pythias among our people. If we, in our imagination may say, God Himself, their antiquity, and in a comparative world, we have the world funimals no prettier story of the kind than the love Pythias had for Damon, and the love Damon had for Pythias. The love between Christ and Peter may have been as great and enduring, but never were it so greatly exhibited. On love—the faith of the one in the other—a great church was builted, and according to that church, the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. The great hearted Pythias was purely human, as the story goes. He had no divinity, no culture to "screw him up to the sticking point," when it came to the hour of sacrifice. Obstacles towered before him as mountains when he would be led to burgle; he rushed on to his destruction for all that he killed, as the Amazon rushes to the sea, unmindful of prayers and entreaties from the densest lips. His servant, who would detain him, destroying his horse out of love for him, was set down as the basest of human kind, and whom to destroy Pythias held it a joyful duty, and the world, strange enough, rejoiced out of love, and rejoices until this day. On the rock of such faithfulness is founded the great Pythian Order, including that adorable trinity of humanly virtues—Friendship, Benevolence, Charity. Their mutual faith were another cross, winning men as it is told in song and story. Well founded institutions, well grounded institutions grow and flourish. This Lodge has swept the country, gathering to it men of all classes, and especially the progressive younger men. With us it is pre-eminently the Lodge of possessed riches, blood, gaining by its activities, which the older Lodges gained by age. During the early part of the year 1854 the citizens of Chicago read with joy the happiness of the prisoners at Harris and Rosendale farm at Harris. Harris McCormick had given $25,000 to a farmer a Y. M. C. A. for the race on the Soil. Dr. George W. was elected chairman of the citizen committee and Mr. Charles Pierce secretary to carry on the work of securing the land. Mr. J. E. Moorland, internal secretary, was sent here to help raise money. A campaign was launched, but it was not several months there was in operation. CHICAGO HAS LEADING Y. M. C. A.

The campaign came to a close and more than enough money was pledged to start. M. H. T. Hughman, gave $1,000 for the new building. There was a banquet at Odd Fellows' hall and great joy was received that the required amount was raised. Then came the selection of the men of Thirty-eighth grade from Wabash avenue was select- ed. A high sign was put up on the lot but it did not remain long before it was announced that the foundation would be dug. Mr. Tilghman, the man who led the first spade of dirt. Then came the cornerstone laying in August, 1912. Over 8,000 people took part in the ceremonies. The Masons, Knights of Pythias, Odd Fellows and several other organizations were in the line march. Dr. George C. Hall had charge of the meeting. Brief addresses were delivered by Mr. Julius Rosenwald, Mr. W. P. Sidler, president of the Central Association: Mr. L. Wilber Messer and Karl A. Schumaker. Prince Hall Mason's Selections were given by the Umbriarem Glee club and the Eighth Regiment band. This was the most notable occasion in the history of the building. Dr. George C. Hall said: "The fallacy of the idea that this building is to be a 'Jim Crow' annex to the building has been proved time and time again during the campaign which we have waged in raising the money for its construction. Association have spared no effort to Automobile School. Mr. A. L. Jackson has just perfected plans for an automobile school to be connected with the Y. M. C. A.

Although a number of institutions for the betterment of the conditions of service have been founded, it is doubtful if any have accomplished as much good as Provident Hospital and Training School, which occupies an excellent and well equipped building at Thirty-sixth and Dearborn streets, Chicago, Ill. This institution has been in existence since 1861, and up to the time of the current year has cared for something over seventeen thousand patients, while the Dispensary or out department, has treated since its foun- dation 85,810 patients. In the war for better conditions for our babies, a cause it seems is maintained on the roof of the hospital during the summer months equipped with every modern convenience, while in the Diet Kitchen 8219食堂 have been prepared filling a total of 20,737 bottles just in the last year, which is but a fair sample of the work done in preceding years. From the Nurse Training School 124 young women have graduated and are to be found at the head of a majority of the race hospitals located in the different cities throughout this broad land, those who have kept to private education have been primarily successful. It was to give the young educated women of the race an opportunity to pursue their university and then Provident Hospital was established. To the young physician this institution has been of incalculable benefit. Within its doors dozens of them have found place as internes and on its staff can be found the names of men young enough to have access to themselves in the medical world. What is after all the deepest significance of Provident Hospital: the actual work of the hospital, which its scientific training places within the reach of our young men, through the association of the races? For be it known more than fifty per cent. of the patients are of other races than ours. Certainly with a record such as Provident Hospital has made is deserving the moral and financial support of the races. Endowment larges enough to meet the ever increasing demands for charity. 2 ————— . é a om) itt » BY rRusses HE, shoulter Braces, Big ssxeties Be PM tovald ottne Cute, oo WBEPR) catches, Bath Oabincin , J ‘We have installed new mashinory in cut Orth (ike Gepactavenh and are Sraparet to Go more etic JG Retry and better work aff thanorer s ey William H. 4 Armstrong Co., Je ‘MW.

Happy New Year to all! So you wanted some snow for Christmas. Well, you were very nicely accommodated. The Republicans are gathering thick in the city this week. There's some thing doing where the bees strong. Phil H. Brown, of Hopkinsville, Ky., was in the city this week, circulating among the Republicans who had gathered for a love feast. Mr. Brown is editor of "The Saturday News," a Hopkinsville sheet. He is of influence in his state with his party, having a fine chance to go to the National Republican convention as a delegate-at-large in the state of Kentucky. Mr. Brown has the publicity end of the forthcoming Kentucky exposition. He was honored with a smoker at the home of Gurley Brewer last Wednesday night. "THE BIRTH OF A NATION." (By Billy Lewis) (Something else) ago the very much advertised and the very much opposed, "The Birth of a Nation," opened up at the English opera house, a leading playhouse of this city, and of course this opposition has come mainly from our race, the colored people. It is true, however, that when the playwright strenuously opposed by a set of earnest, thoughtful white men, and who most forcibly expressed themselves in public print. These were by no means the only cases of rejection. Some lay stress on the characterization of Abraham Lincoln, viewing it as a sort of civil sacrilege to portray him and the incidents of his office, including the murder of his son, the call of the scenes of the South during reconstruction days as inflammatory, giving their views in disguise. The colonists, in their own production, clausing it with other iniquities which are meant to belittle the race. In fact, there is so much to say about the subject that it is difficult to give the subject proper treatment within limited space. Having read carefully what appeared in our own newspapers from time to time, we covered the production, the Birth of Coaching, which was primarily prepared for what was coming. But it was much like what Sheba had to say on behaloum of the world. The production is not a dead plane of Negro hatred, if it can thus be expressed, and as we do not mean that in advance the does not mean that in advance the does dorsed wholly as a good thing, for that would be an injustice to the judge, and as we do not mean that in advance the does who have severely condemned the show. Perhaps it will be best to say that the production is a medley of the production, the enactment, the viewpoint of sentiment creating, and a splendid thing educationally by way of reproducing the era, will say that the production is an enactment rests more in the fact that the era is reproduced than in the fact that the enactment is aggression is due to the necessities of stage craft which emboldens the character to better impress an idea. Legre in Uncle we get Cabbin' as the slave master; it is in the essence much too strong for one to be a slave. The deception of the slave master; it is in the essence much too strong for one to be a slave. The individual made up of the qualities of many—being at once false and true. This is one of the scenes which does not appeal to our people. And yet it is no more than what is being thrown at us in our country, Lynch being a Negro is what makes the difference. The idea of social equality, of course, is set out; it does not mean that we care much about; not enough about to make it a ruling feature in a picture play. But it would be very wrong to mention the notion of marrying a white woman. In opposing this scene the most that can be said is that it looks bad; it is not a bad idea, but ple stubbornly oppose. It revives agitation and tightens race lines all along. But it cannot be fought on the grounds of race, but the point of the novelist and playwright. Again, our race does not take kindly to the Negro legislative scenes. These scenes, according to the labels thrown over the screens, two actual reproductions, four actual statements, forth these statements there is reason to think that they are faithful enough. That is, they may be so that that time are seized for that early period when the Negro had no rightful place in legislative bodies. This statement, perhaps, should be modified to say that we are seized for a few Negroes, here and there, throughout the country, that were prepared by way of education and experience of legislators. Even at time we would find different lawmakers suitable selection of Negro lawmakers from a given locality. So we are not so much maligned by the reproduction of legislation, but we are ridiculated, held up to scorn, which we cannot like, and which out of charity should not be; but as for a libel us we would be non-suited in a court of justice. The assassination incident fits well in the picture play scheme, and not as a detached something as may be expected. The death of Lincoln was pictured as a heartending happening by the people of the South, and which said, "We have lost our best friend." This is meant as the announcement to the reign of carpet-bagism, which by presiding over the death of had Lincoln lived. There is no reason to believe that conditions would have been different had he lived, but the ex-spectator of the death of Lincoln, even if only a stage play. And one may believe that the sentiment concerning the death of Lincoln. Doubtless there was a fineness of blood among some of them that would not permit the thankening of Lincoln for his sacrifice. This is a fine mollyifying scene, and in the interest of the oneness of respect for Lincoln and for the concession of the nation as it came from his hands. The Ku Klux Klan incident is harrowing to the souls of colored folk and as the real thing was years ago, it has become an important documentation of a feature of that day. The scene of what gave rise to the Klan amusing because an amateur Amusing became an amateur Amusing by the gallant young man was witnessed by gallant young man was South who had lost his all in the war and who was at that time lamenting the ruin of the city, which from the pointpoint was prostrated on the heel of Negro domination. The young man had a vision, as it were; for he saw these white children in a great way, forcing through fear that erstwhile response and coercion would get his comrades together, the men of his community and other communities, who would become ghosts in appearance, and ride into the crowd, in mind, striking white terror to the soul. This review will be continued at another time, including a summary. Will endeavor to weigh carefully the possible good and harm, giving all from the blind view, as it is given me to see. THE SERPENT. Creeping to the fruitage spot, In the vineyard of the plot, Erstwhile 'till the setting sun, Darkens the deed is done. Cringing in the secret place, Time is dscaling on a-pace, With pharaoh's time, To elect atrocious crime. There he lay in wait and wait, Till his copper head was seen. All in beauty there to charm, Perchance to allay alarm. He is sneaking like a cat, Sneaks upon a babe muskrat, With a tremor and a shake To devour in the wake. Now the tortoises in the grass, Shining like kaleidic glass, Curls to heave and sets his eyes, Where his stinger's aim applies. But to conquer snakish crave There must be a hero brave, Who shall bruise the serpent's head, With his babe muskrat's dead. (The Universal News Co., 2933 Morgan Street, Clayborne Shelley) The campaign of the Y. M. C. A. to raise $5,000 for the construction of of Mr. Jones, secretary, have met with abundance of success. Everybody rallied and donated according to their wishes, and $1. Several of our business men gave openly and willingly. The boys over their victory of 1915 in raising $15,000 and adding many new members to their list. Last Sunday at the Tabernacle, they joyed a lively and soul-stirring Christian meeting. Some of the young lead-sponsors and told the slimmer back-slides, what they have to do to be saved. The boys, A. A. have benefited much in the city of St. Louis in bringing the lost home to Christ. They have made a good contribution. A. A. are not a member of the organization. All of our churches have made great preparations to serve the public Christmas service to all.

We are first class and high grade wines and liquors and the best of entertainers, who wish merry Xmas and happy New Year to all. Maxium. The Cafe Maxium at Shanning and Pine streets, under the management of the noted sportsman, Mr. Jones, is a great place to meet many of the many passers-by of West St. Louis. It is quite amazing to see Jones welcoming his noted and many friends he has met and they are served equally as good in his place as the whites are in the big hotels down town. The class of enterprising students at the campus will arrive this week to take up their work from Chicago and New York City. The Xmas holiday is a great time to visit the cabaret. The old Spanish style wall mirrors makes your mind reflect back on the day Bruster's Millions at Square for Xmas holidays can't take you boys can't say now that there is no place to go and enjoy yourselves. We all hope you a merry Christmas. All those are welcome to see our new place. MIDDLETOWN (OHIO) NEWS. (By Robert King.)

These four houses have excellent orchestras and what people sought for they go. That the theatre is the greatest factor in the amusement field is graciously acknowledged, and if managers will insist on maintaining the high standard mentioned against the unruly the venture will be permanently satisfactory. The four houses mentioned are already maintaining the high standard mentioned in the programs will be given on next week. Current Literature. The suit of Billy King against the Lafayette Theatre, argued in a New York court recently, showed that Morrison was guilty of objectionable play was less or objectionable. There was nothing objectionable and the held that the contract was good and that Mr. King was not bound to Mr. King. The development of the case prior to the court proceedings led to a court course matters called on Mr. King as a mediator to induce King to accept of a new engagement at the Lafayette, to which he had courses matters showed conclusively the Mr. King holds whatever interest his son-in-law, Lester A. Walton, has in the theatre, to which he objected. Mr. Moore his lawyer, which they objected to for safe reasons. However, Mr. Moore Morganstern and Walton are safely reported to be broke. Will Marton Cook, Sam Lucas and Bob Slater were wittily accused of Morganstern. Suit will also be instituted against the New York Age, of which Mr. Moore is editor. I look upon the suit as a blundering mistake for New Yorkers. Billy King is on his fourth week's run at the Standard, and has now made an eastern reputation.

Slaughter, Advertising Manager of the Indianapolis Freeman. The question of advertising has become a matter of grave importance, and despite the theory of the old fossil who refuses to pay for advertising, the principle that a bird in hand is worth two in the bush. It has been most satisfactorily demonstrated that a liberal use of printers' ink in constatation is more effective than the public is the only absolutely successful way to develop a small business and to assure continued success to a large concern, and the country who formerly organized their business by strong combinations and have for years sustained themselves by their tertinging are fast waking up to a sense of their duty only to realize that in the rush for prosperity their smaller companies are more likely to their liberal expenditure of money M John Rucker and Henry Winfred are two of the most entertaining performers of their race, who play the big time. They are at present playing over the Pantages circuit. The Variety speaks of their act as snappy and full of patter. The Vaudeville says they have a bright array of talk. In Detroit they captured the laughing honors and in Cleveland they aroused laughter. MR. GEORGE SLAUGHTER, Advertising Agent for The Freeman Goods that are to have a permanent sale must necessarily be advertised very differently from those which are advertised for a market or time only. Even a small advertisement appearing constantly is like the constant dropping of ice over upon the ice shelf to allow it to melt off in county papers and local papers of small towns it can often be arranged as reading matter among the local books. This is an exeptent method of advertising certain to be read at least once and recognized whenever the locals are sought by readers and devoured with the greatest interest. Mrs. Maggie Morgan, wife of like Morgan, died at her home on Bridge street about 9:30 Tuesday night. She had been ill for some time with dropsy.

Know what you want to do, then go about his accomplishment with a tenacity of that discouragement. We are master of our times. If we fail, ourselves must bear the blame. The will is supreme. Any one can succeed who will, if one will long enough and strong enough in the Bad habits are responsible for the majority of failures. Any bad habit that is written on one's progress should be eliminated. should be our utmost endeavor to live cleanly and think purely.

(By C. I. Taylor.) Legalized gambling in the republic of Cuba has been on the official call of players in the country. Only a few years back, the country called for a ban on gambling, but before that, a few were wont to go to the island during the off-season in this country and earn anywhere from one dollar to $100 a month. ABI Manager A. B. C. Baeaball Club, Indianapolis, Indiana, and Sole American Representative and Booking Agent of the Famous Cuban Stars of Havana, Cuba, for the Season 1916. month. But gambling not by the ball players, but by the natives of that country, we hear their (the) downfall. The conditions would prevail in this country with the nation's sport if gambling were tolerated the island. It came about in this way: Legalized gambling made it possible for large amounts of money to be wagered, result in the island's negotiation. It is an open secret in the city of Havana and entire republic that these heavy bets are negotiating, business" the Cuban said, with the colorful ball players from the States throw the games. And I must confess that I am not a count on the fingers of one hand the American colored baseball players who to Cuba prior to October, 1915, and that of that country that they would not know a game for from five dollars I can name many of the best colored ball players of America of whom men of standing in Cuba will make admirers and games but that they even double-crossed the gamblers—sold the games there. There can be no doubt about the charges as men of these ball players were caught hed-handed by the games of the little republic who were meant to mean their comand to fight down the river and thus keep the national sport on the name high level as it is in the States. The suit of this "doing business," throwing the balls of Cuba decided last summer that more colored ball players nor colored from the States would be permitted to play in Cuba or play in the Cuban League. It is a sad commentary that several of the ball players in the race would not be playing as a spectator in a ball park in Havana. them were driven from the island and it would be dangerous for them to re-enter. The ban had been put on the American colored ball players, notwithstanding, many of America's best colored teames had never been to the island—they all had had their ball games—but the conduct of a large percent of those who have been there has been to the island and those who have not been to the island have been denied the privilege of ever going. Information got to the writer that the captain had been rung down and the team had been sent to doors to colored ball players in his most lucrative field—for in Cuba organized baseball ball players. We were told the legitimate process of reasoning to prevent the ratification of the an edict so detrimental to the colored ball players that we were so prescribed in our country. Our efforts were crowned with success and the American colored ball player will be the willow and toss the "pill" on the Cuba. Lastly, permit me to add, that if interested among our people; if young college students to continue to draw salaries higher than those paid the average college professors, we must themselves must live cleaner lives, deport themselves as gentlemen on the halls and elsewhere; baseball must be run and elsewhere; baseball must agers and promoters of the national league; baseball must cease hostilities, let the lives of pro-fleps its wings over the camp of a game; introduce movement for the purpose of interest in organizing a colored baseball league.

LEO PATTERSON BEATS JOE THOMAS (WHITE). (By Ed. Rogers.) WEST BADEN, Ind., Dec. 20. Lee Patterson, the little fighting machine, was the winner of Baden Athletic Club December 14th by beating Joe Thomas (White). The fight which was to go ten rounds only lasted six. Thomas giving up at the beginning of the fight. Thomas showed qualities of a good fighter, but was unable to stand the constant pressure. The three rounds showed some classy fighting, but the fourth was quite a change, when Patterson floored Thomas for a count of eight: "Pat" (Patrick) scored three and sixth. Thomas showed quite a bit of gameness by coming back, and would have come back for the seventh if he hadn't been able by some one in the crowd to "kick" him. Thomas is one among the 'White fighters who has not drawn the color line, and to show appreciation the team can be well said that Thomas is about the best white fighter who has boxed at the Springs in recent years. A teammate of Thomas can be taken to Patterson under his management, with a backing of $1,000. I do not know if "Pat" got on with him or not. I don't know if "Pat" got away. Young (Creamo) Conn bested Billie McClure in the six preliminary. The next fight ought to make him look better. This is a bit of rivalry between these boys. EDW, H. ROGERS. GIDEON E.

EARL MURPHY SHADES BATTLEING BALL IN HARD EIGHT-ROUND BOUT AT FUTURE CITY ATHLETIC CLUB. ST. LOUIS, Mo.—Earl Murphy and Battling Hall put up one of the hardest fights in a long time. Murphy won by a small margin. Both boys started off fighting after the ball rang and sang and danced until the fighter sounded. Ball dropped Murphy three times and not score a knock down. Murphy did most of his fighting in close quarters, while Ball was better at long range. There was a large crowd and every one CRACK TENNIS TEAM West Baden's Crack Tennis Team—Rea A. W. Tutt, A. W. Tutt, Mrs. H. Beach Above is a cut of one of West Baden's crack tennis teams, who offered a challenge (during the summer) to some of the best players in Louisville and Chicago. There are quite a few who can use the racket well in West Baden and French Lick, and all amateurs in and out the Valley. The Waddy Court, on the lawn of the Waddy Court, is occupied by from twenty to thirty any afternoon that weather conditions permit. With the Waddy Hotel and court, West Baden offers something more than the exercise of tennis, and may have the convenience of the world's greatest mineral waters, along with the exercise of tennis playing. It is seemingly a town of leisure, as most of the boys are employed as waiters and bell boys, which allow them to be a host of the day. This again often keeps up a continuous play for the visiting tennis player, and affords lots of pleasure for the visitors to the Springs for the enjoyment of the waters. The tournament of 1914 was the best pulled off since the court has been in existence, and was won by Hal Beacham (boxing promoter), defeating Ed Rogers by a few points after seven hard sets. The game is yet defended at the Springs. Mrs. H. Beacham, the wife of the little champion, also won first prize as was well pleased with the hard fought bout. Both boys quit strong in the second round, but that Ball is the hardest hitting lightweight out since Joe Gans' days. Ball said, in his dressing room after the game, that he fans, that he will fight him again any time on the semi-final. Lawrence won over Billy Bailin in a fast eight round bout. Kid People kayed Kid Dutty in the first round and then boxed Kid Yellow a four round bout to win the bout of the cardinal, put out Inky Kid in the second round. John Moore won the good battle royal. Sport Sullivan was referee and match St. Louis is now the best place in the United States for colored boxers. They are now drawing big houses. We don't have Sam Dickson any more. Leo Patterson is in the city and will be there for sure. A good chance for all good boys. BLACK MANDOT GETS GOOD LACING. (By Chas Stewart.) MEMPHIS, TENN. Dec. 14—Son Rumpity, of Memphis, gives Black Mandot, of the First Ward, one of the best triumphes in the game. Rumpity was in the best of condition, and Mandot's left jabs and right crosses could do no damage, while Rumpity's right and left books were broken from heck to heck. Rumpity was reaching the mark with every blow, while Mandot missed as many as he could, and most going to go, but Mandot's judge of distance was awfully bad. In the first few rounds it looked as if it was only a matter of time that Mandot not only went down under Rumpity's stiff upruptions to the mid section. Mandot kept his left continually on his shoulder from bracing and taking all he could give. Mandot was only substituted for Mandot's hand and wasn't able to fight. Mandot came up on the court and the referee called Mandot's hand in token of a draw. JACKIE MOORE BEATS MEXICAN KID. KANSAS CITY.

Baseball fans will be glad to learn that Oscar Charleston, the famous colored pitcher who was in the islands when he was a child, CJs, and Charleston plays center field on the team. The aggregation is known as additionally the CJs and Charleston plays center field on the team. In a letter to Nimrod McKinney, the local broker, Charles wrote on October that his team was "very happy" to play a series of games, so he is surprised to the fans to know that Charleston has given up pitching and gone into the field, but everybody knows that he is the boy to make good in any position. The players in the islands than Charleston, and we believe we can speak for all the fans when we wish him luck.—From the Manilla Times. Charleston was a member of the Twenty-fourth Infantry, stationed at the New York Giants next season. BLACKBURN IS VICTOR OVER SYLVESTER IN OUT AT ST Special to The Freeman ST. LOUIS, Mo. Dec. 25—Jack Blackburn of Indianapolis, who a few weeks ago was among Negro puglers, easily defeated "One-Round" Sylvester, also a former Indianapolis player, but this afternoon, Sylvester had the advantage of youth, but Blackburn had the advantage of a longer reach, and he was able to weighed his opponent. The first but of the bout was slow, but in the fifth and sixth rounds Blackburn exert himself. Once aroused there was no stopping the Indianapolis boxer, and in the last three games Blackburn knocked a knockout at any moment. Sylvester saved himself by falling into clinches.

The competition in this city among white people on its size. This house when first opened, with its magnificent structure its prices and租金 from the same size. Negroes allowed in the Ruzsard roost. The Strand Theatre seems to be a failure among the white people segregated hole for the Negroes. An advertisement appeared through the Leader, stating that the balcony had been set apart for Negroes exclusively. It seems that some of the Negroes of this city had hundred feet long to get to some place where they would be Jim-Crowed. It is much regretted that some of our high school Chancellor's formal students truss of such houses. We assume that this accounts for so many of the high school Chancellor's formal students to segregated moving pictures. There is a high class moving picture house in this city conducted by colored men. This house among the whites that debar Negroes. This is the Universal an operator, a young man, to take up tickets, the proprietor's wife sells tickets and he helps to take him up. This we can draw a comparison. The Ada Meade, a Jim-Crow Negro house, has a Negro janitor. We hasn't a Negro janitor. The Strand hasn't a Negro janitor. These Jim-Crow houses are patronized by the teacher we assume that they carry out a large proportion of the prise a large proportion of the are "big Negroes" and many school teachers. We assume that they carry out a large proportion of the are some of them who taught the people to do as they say, not as they do. **Emancipation Celebration Jan. 2.** Eastington holidays, is the Emancipation of the Negroes.
