ARTHUR H. FINLEY, Clerk. Massac County Illinois, March 8th 1915. NOTICE. To the Baptist women of the State of Illinois, after extending to yo my congratulations and greetings for tee New Year 1915, this little note tomes to you from the General Missionary Baptist State Association of Illinois, through her corresponding secretary, informing you, that we feel very keenly the mistake we made last October by not notifying and organizing the Women's department of our State Association. But, since the mill never grinds with water that is passed, we will forget those things are passed, and press forward to the mark of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus. Since the organization of the General Missionary Baptist State Association at M. Vernon, Illinois, October 1914 it has been my pleasure to travel from one end of the state to other, and we find that the women of our Baptist Zion are getting their eyes open to the fact, that we need a real sure enough Woman's General Missionary Baptist State Association. And since it is, and always has been my disposition to give honor to whom honor is due, I wish to take time and space enough right_here, to dash one bouquet if no more, at our original president of Women's State Convention in the person of sister K. L. Cosby. She gave me her word while I was in Chicago, November last, that she was a Baptist, not in name only, but in reality, and cast her lot with them who proved that they were earnestly contending for: the Faith, first delivered to the saints. Now, that sister Cosby, and her like-minded Baptist sisters may have an opportunity to help us to earnestly tontend for the Faith; at our State meeting when convened next May 1915, at Centralia; when we will organize a Women's General Missionary Baptist State Association. Great preparation is being made for that great coming meeting next May, at ConTRAILia Illinois. We are looking for our Baptist women from the North, from the West and from the East, our Baptist women in (this) the Southern part of the state, are wateeing the possession of our Baptist Zion, while the ministers and deacons and laymen are fighting and contending for the Faith once delivered to the saints, and instead of this host of Baptist women fainting at the clouds that have been darkening the havens since last June, in the hottest battle, and the darkest hour, these women have been heard sining to Dr's. Phillips, Dorsey, McWilliams, Starks, Allison, Knowles, Parrish, Armstead, and others who are taking care of, and cultivating this Baptist (State) field, and their song is Hod the fort for we are coming, and John F. Thomas will be in the chair, and all of us Baptist women, sisters? Cosby, Anderson, Bates, Phillips, Bledsoe, O'Connor and others will be there in May. By the grace of God we will there. I am yours for the Women's General Missionary Baptist State Association of the state of Illinois. W, P. Washington, Correspnding Secretary of the Genr'l. Missionary Baptist State Association of the State of Illinois. LIBRARY OF THE UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS 2/7 MAR 1915 VOLUME XVIII W. McHenry Wintes, a so-called Cuban evangelist, who is operating among the churches in Illinois, first as a Baptist, then at other times as a Methodist minister, when in fact he is a wolf with a record as black as the hinges of eternal night. He was recently arrested in Brookport, Ill., while conducting a meeting for the pastor of the A. M. E. church, hand cuffed, carried to Md City, and lodged in jail where he was charged with stealing a pair of gold rimmed eye glasses, one lady's gold watch and chain, two school text books to the value of $20 co from the home of Mary Watts, a widow with whom he boarded, the property of Be-sie Gaiven, a teacher. He was given a preliminary hearing before Judge C M Thompson, and was held over to await the action of the grand jury at the April term of Circuit court and in default of his bond was sent to jail, upon this action he sent for States Attorney C. S. Miller and desired to enter a plea of guilt. The attorney filed an information against him and the following is a part of the records of the County court docket of Pulaski County, Ill., on the 27, day of Feb. 1915: Def't. was arraigned and after being admonished by the court as to the consequences of a p'ea of guilty he persists in such plea. The court after hearing evidence and being fully advised in the premises orders that Def't. pay a fine Ten dollars and that he be confined in county jail of county for one day and that he pay the costs of this prorsecution and stand committed until fine and costs are fully paid or he is discharged according to law. 2-27, 1915. The cost was secured by Nathan Kay, which will be about $35 00. The glasses were all of the stolen property found in his possession and thus he only escaped the penitentiary. He left Md. City and went back to Brookport, where he finished conducting his meeting notwithstanding the charge and plea of guilt, and he is now at large to continue to play his confidence games upon the churches and families with whom he stops. The Mt. Olive Baptist Executive Board in regular session warns all of the churches of Illinois to be aware of this well in the attire of a minister's garb. It would be well before accepting a stranger into your full confidence to write and find out about him, though he be a preacher, it may save the church and your home from being broken up. See? Rolla Finney for Clerk. In this issue will be found the name of Rolla Finney, as a candidate for City Clerk at the ensuing April election He has no oposition and as he has made a splendid clerk he is likely to have no trouble to land the position. He should be returned back to the office. Golconda, Ill., 3-17, 1915. Executive Board Meeting, When convened with Shiloh Baptist church, Future City, Ill. MOTTO : "HEW TO THE LINE.

Dorgan, "Tad," the cartoonist, was dining alone in a restaurant in Fulton street the other night, says Cartoons Magazine. A stranger dropped into the seat opposite and fell to discussing cartoons. "Now take my old friend Tad," said the stranger. "I like him personally. In fact we are the best of friends, but as an artist he is punk." "You know Tad, then?" Tad asked. "Know him! I should say I do." "I'll bet you $5 you don't know him," said Tad, reaching for his wallet. The $10 was deposited on the table. "Now," said the cartoonist, "how are you going to prove that you would know Tad if you saw him?" "That's a cinch," chuckled the stranger as he gathered in the money. "You are Tad." It Pays to Pray, and Advertise. "Do you believe in the efficacy of prayer?" asked the new minister. "You bet!" triumphantly replied Sam Stinger, the enterprising real estate dealer. "Why, at the prayer meeting last Thursday night, I prayed loud and long for blessings on our progressive little city, incidentally mentioning a few of the advantages it possesses for profitable investments, and next morning I sold four lots in my new Sky High addition to a stranger who had happened to drop in at the services!" —Kansas City Star.

CHILDREN SHOWED IT "A year ago I was a wreck from coffee drinking and was on the point of giving up my position in the school room because of nervousness. "I was telling a friend about it and she said, 'We drink nothing at meal time but Postum, and it is such a comfort to have something we can enjoy drinking with the children.' "I was astonished that she would allow the children to drink any kind of coffee, but she said Postum was not coffee, but a most healthful drink for children as well as for older ones, and that the condition of both the children and adults showed that to be a fact. "I was in despair and determined to give Postum a trial, following the directions carefully. It was a decided success and I was completely won by its rich delicious flavor. "In a short time I noticed a decided improvement in my condition and kept growing better month after month, until now I am healthy, and do my work in the school room with ease and pleasure. I would not return to nerve-festroying coffee for any money." Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich. Read "The Road to Wellville," in pkgs. Postum comes in two forms: Regular.

In Her Wanderings She Meets Cupid, Well Disguised but Efficient. By DAN LA GRANGE. was on a spring morning that Katherine Beloit suddenly went off. She had reached the age of nineteen without anybody having suspected her of a weak brain. On the contrary, those who knew her best said she would make her mark in the world, girl though she was. Her parents had planned to go away for a week, and Miss Katherine was to boss the manor house during their absence. A good-by and then the folks were gone. The girl dumped down into the hammock and did some thinking and musing preparatory to going crazy. "They get ready and go right off as if I didn't count for shucks!" she pouted. "Then go and be hanged, but I shan't always be here to be snubbed. Everybody has a good time but me. Does any one call except on mother? Has ever a young man driving past in an auto stopped and asked what time it was? Of course not! I don't amount to pumpkins, I don't!" It is generally believed that people go crazy with a whoopee, and make a bee line for the kitchen and the butcher knife, but there are exceptions to the rule. Miss Katherine raised up on her elbow and gave the hammock pillow a swat with her fist. "I'll run away—that's what I will do!" And she didn't put the matter off until next Christmas, but walked right upstairs and looked for the oldest things in her wardrobe. She hadn't planned where she was to go nor what she should do, but a sort of instinct told her that she should have old clothes on when she did it. The cook was singing in the kitchen and the gardener loafing, and neither one of them saw the crazy girl as she passed out of the gate into the road and down the highway forty rods until she got the shelter of a bit of woods. There was an auto coming, but it was yet a quarter of a mile away when she was sheltered. So far so good. She had gone crazy and had made a fair start toward running away and having adventures galore. Where should she run to? With no money in her purse and a very simple role. Suppose it was that of a hired girl? She'd hire for a week and then skip back home, and there would be incidents enough to keep her relating for a month. Miss Katherine was about to approach the highway and sit down. This cut her off from the road, and she went farther into the woods. She thought there was another highway back of the woodland, but she did not come across it in half a mile's walk. She was wondering if she should not suddenly regain her senses and return to the house when a man stepped from behind a tree and gave her an awful fright. He was a bent and withered old man, with hands more like claws, and he eyed her in a malevolent way as they stood for a moment. "I'm looking for the road over here," she almost whispered. "You are a liar!" he croaked. "But there—there is a road?" "You have come to spy on old John!" he shouted. "I didn't know you were here." "You are lying to me. There's a reward of a hundred dollars for me, dead or alive." "But I don't want it," said the girl in a voice she tried to make wheedling. "All I want is to find the road and go home." "You can't go!" She sprang away from him and ran at her best pace, but he had her before she had gone 100 feet. She screamed once, but he raised his fist to strike her, and she was silent. When he took her by the arm to lead her along she realized that he had a fierce grip, and though she tried her hardest to break away he could easily handle her. A few rods from where she encountered him was a brush shanty with a small fire smoldering near by. "Sit down!" exclaimed the old man. Miss Katherine drew in her breath to scream. "If you do, I'll hit you!" warned the old man. The girl had always heard that insane people must be humored, and finding herself in his power and in danger of violence if she provoked him, she forced a smile and a half-laugh and said: "Oh, well, I don't want to go home yet anyway, so we won't care about the road." "Isn't that a pretty good house for an old man to build?" he asked after a grumpy silence. "Indeed, but it is real cute," was answered. "And I built it in a day." "Then you are smarter than most men half your age." "Do you know my name?" "No, I never heard it." "It's Cupid!" The words came out so pat, and the situation was so incongruous, that Miss Katherine burst into a laugh. "I've brung about over a hundred matches between couples, and that's why they call me Cupid." "Are you out in the woods to hunt up a match for someone?" "No. I came out here to sleep and dream and listen to the whispers, but as soon as I saw you I knew who I should marry you to." "Well, who is it?" "It's Will Irwin. Nicest man in this state. He comes to my son David's, where I live, and he brings me candy. I told him I'd find him a wife, and I have." It looked as if the old man was going to be easy to get away from, and Miss Katherine also lost her fear of him. She saw that flattery was the thing to use, and she said: "Mr. Cupid, I think you have a good voice for singing." "I know I have," he replied. "I was singing a song just before you came. It is called the 'Seven Black Crows.' It goes like this." And in a voice that was cracked and bent and twisted and full of shingle nails he sang two lines of verse over and over again about seven crows, each with a nose. Then his drawl was stopped by a fit of coughing. "That was surely a beautiful song, and as a reward if you will come down to the house with me, I will hunt you a better suit of clothes than that," said the girl. "I knew you'd like the song, and I will go with you. Come." How easy. They headed for the highway, chattering as they went, but were not yet half-way there when the old man clutched her arm with a grip of iron and dragged her back. "You can't fool Cupid! You are trying to run away from Mr. Irwin. Don't you scream! Don't you dare do it!" As he pulled her back to the hut he seized a long strip of bark he had been using as a rope, and passed it around under her arms, and then forced her to sit down and made her fast to a small tree. The girl neither struggled nor protested. The old man's mood had changed once and might again. "I don't mean to burn you at the stake," he said as he stood back and looked at her, "but I mean to keep you from running away. Suppose I tell Mr. Irwin that I have a wife for him here, and he comes here to see and you are gone! Oh, no, you won't get away! I shall be back in about an hour." With that he started off at a brisk pace, and was soon lost to sight and hearing. Miss Katherine waited ten minutes and then set out to release herself. She couldn't accomplish it. The bark strip was as strong as a rope, and being made fast behind her the knot was too much for her. Would the old crazy man ever come back? It was high noon before the cook at Beloits discovered that Miss Katherine had changed her clothes and gone away somewhere, but it was four o'clock in the afternoon before any real alarm was felt. Then the cook didn't know what should be done, and the gardener replied that he didn't. It was finally decided that she had walked to the village and was taking her time about getting home. At twilight both servants were standing in the middle of the highway in a nervous state when a young man came along in an auto. "Are you in any sort of trouble?" he asked. "Did you overtake a young lady in coming from the village?" was asked. "No." "Then she's been carried off by the Black Handers," walled the cook. What story there was to tell was told, and the young man said: "I am Mr. Will Irwin. I passed along here this morning about ten o'clock, going the other way. Down there by the woods I saw a young lady turn off the road and go in among the trees." "It must have been her," wailed the cook. "And she'd never stay there as long as this if she wasn't hurt or dead," added the gardener. He was ordered to get two lanters and then assist in the search. The woods were entered and beaten back and forth. There was shouting and whistling, and just when they were ready to abandon the search they ran upon the captive. She looked up at them in an anxious way. "I think you are Mr. Will Irwin, and I think you have come for me." He looked into her face for a few seconds, and then, as he began to free her, he said: "Sure, I have. This must be Cupid's work." And it turned out to be. As they drove from the church after the marriage they passed a crazy old man sitting on the fence and singing about Seven Black Crows. (Copyright, 1915, by the McClure Newspaper Syndicate.) Wealth and Responsibility. Just before the late Albert A. Sprague died he had the pleasure of seeing a pension system for old employees—long a cherished project—put into effect. Three employees who had served the concern long and faithfully were made the first beneficiaries. January 1, 1914, a large sum, subsequently increased, was set aside as the nucleus of the pension fund. It was determined that the beneficiaries should not be required to contribute. The only requirement is that the beneficiaries should have a service record of at least twenty years and be sixty years of age. The plan not only affords encouragement to the sober and deserving employee, but also illustrates in a striking way that sense of responsibility for wealth and the welfare of those who help create it, which is the best characteristic of the best type of American business man. It is a noble monument to the public spirit of one who was, in so many other ways, one of Chicago's most public-spirited citizens—Chicago Herald. AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS If permanent results are to be secured, the Negro who actually cultivates the land must be reached and trained into growing a good producing crop. How can this be done? My answer would be, by putting a Negro farm demonstration agent into every county of the South where there is any considerable number of Negro farmers. This Negro demonstration agent should be a man of good common sense. He should be a man who knows the characteristics of the colored people, who knows how to reach them in and through their societies, their churches and their various organizations of one kind and another. He should be a man required to travel from one farm to another throughout the country training the Negro farmer how to produce a food crop. Wherever these demonstration agents have already been at work in the South they have done work which has been most helpful and commendable. If this important work is to be done, no time should be lost in selecting these demonstration agents. The cost should not be large. Either through county appropriations or from some part of the state funds appropriated for agricultural purposes, a portion of the money for the salary perhaps could be provided. Appropriations are also being made by the United States government to encourage and promote various kinds of agricultural work. Some part of this money, I feel sure, might be secured from the Smith-Lever fund, or from the United States demonstration fund administered through Dr. Bradford Knapp. While I am not in position to suggest just where the money may be secured, I think if an earnest effort is made some portion of it can be secured from some of the funds or agencies here mentioned—Booker T. Washington. On the night of Lincoln's birthday, February 12, at the annual meeting of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, in Ethical culture hall, New York city, Governor Whitman of New York state made an address and awarded the Spingarn medal. This medal, which is of gold, valued at $100, is offered annually by Dr. J. E. Spingarn, chairman of the board of directors of the National association, to the man or woman of African descent and of American citizenship who shall have made the highest achievement during the preceding year in any field of elevated or honorable human endeavor, whether that field be intellectual, spiritual, physical, scientific, commercial, educational or any other. The medal is awarded for the first time this year and the committee making the decision consists of Bishop John Hurst, chairman; ex-President Taft, John Hope, president of Morehouse college; Dr. James H. Dillard, director of the Jeanes and Slater funds, and Oswold Garrison Villard, president of the New York Evening post company. In addition to Governor Whitman there were other distinguished speakers at the meeting on February 12: Moorfield Storey, the well-known attorney of Boston and president of the National association; Prof. William Pickens of Wiley university; Mirza All Kull Kahn, representative of Persia to the United States, and Lincoln States, Jr., who told of racial progress in South America. Mr. Villiard presided. In commemoration of the memory of Frederick A. Douglass and John M. Langston, a large number of Negro residents of Washington attended the meeting of the Bethel Literary and Historical association of Metropolitan A. M. E. church. The eulogy of both of these former representatives of the colored race was given by J. C. Napier of Nashville, Tenn., son-in-law of the latter, and an address dealing with the achievements and character of both was given by John C. Dancy, former recorder of deeds. Mrs. Lettie Langston Napier also talked of her father's life. Others who spoke were Rev. C. H. Stephens, L. C. Gregory, F. D. Lee, James H. Marshall and Messrs. Smith and Maxfield. Frank Williams recited an original poem entitled "Fifty Years of Freedom." Music was furnished by the E. Azala Hackle chorus, James A. Wright, director, and Mrs. Martha Ligons, accompanist. "Seems to me," remarked the Man on the Car, "there are times when we ought to stop praying for more blessings and ask for an extra consignment of gratitude."—Toledo Blade. Consul Felix S. S. Johnson of Kingston, Canada, writes that as a result of suggestions contained in a report on American wall papers in Canada new trade openings have been made. The consul reports that an American manufacturer who sent a salesman to the province is meeting with marked success. British Columbians are making gas from coal mine refuse. Ohio's minimum legal salary for school teachers is $40 a month. The oldest Negro publishing house in the country is operated by the African Episcopal church at 361 Pine street, Philadelphia. Here all the hymn books, church dictionaries and other church literature are published. Here, since 1852, the Christian Recorder, the oldest Negro newspaper in existence, has been published. Here, since 1882, the oldest Negro magazine, the A. M. E. Revlew, also has been published. Here many of the books written by Negroes have been printed. The largest and without doubt best equipped Negro publishing house is also operated by this church. It is the Sunday School Union at Nashville, which supplies nearly 300,000 Negro children with their Sunday school literature, taking nearly 50 persons to do the work. This literature is written, printed and distributed by Negroes. Connected with this department is a Sunday school journal called The Young Allenite, a young people's journal called the Allen Endeavor and a weekly paper, the Southern Christian Recorder. The church started 100 years ago, with less than 400 members; it now has three-quarters of a million; and raises annually about 24,000,000. Its property is worth $12,000,000. It has over 6,000 churches and 7,500 preachers. Its general financial scheme is based upon a tax of $1 for each member. This goes to pay the salaries of bishops, general officers, pensions of widows, retired bishops, orphans, superannuated preachers, etc. Other departments are church extension, young people's, the Western Christian Recorder. To rationalize education throughout the country has been and is the purpose of those making for the nation's progress. As the great majority of men are engaged today in constructive work—that industrial, technical, commercial and institutions of training for that are growing in number everywhere the note of progress is decided. The rationalization of the educational system for the Negro should find cooperative action now among intelligent people of both races. Just as the Boston School of Technology initiated in the country the practical form of education for which the nation's inventive and constructive forces made demand; just as the tidal wave bringing industrial training to the South came to save a social inertia, as well as one educational, Hampton institute, Virginia, has come as the prophet of that spirit of educational light which the Negro race may look to as their star of hope and guide to progress. Hampton institute trains men and women to lead the men and women of their race in avenues of usefulness. It inculcates the building up of the racial standards which home the basic principles, and the watchword of the school I would define as racial responsibility—the responsibility not only of individual development, but of the race's development. Ammonia bombs are being used in some of the national forests in America to extinguish forest fires, especially in connection with brush fires, where the fire fighters cannot get near enough to the burning area to beat out the flames. Too many men are expecting to catch a ride on the road to success. Albany Journal. According to the preliminary report of the census bureau, just published, the colored population of the country has been making a good record of progress, measured by the returns of the decade with which development it deals. They have increased in number, though at a much lower rate than the native whites, and far below the record of the foreign born whites. In the ten year period the total value of the farm property operated by Negroes has more than doubled and now exceeds very considerably $1,000,000.00. But perhaps the most encouraging gain of all is the advance that has been made in education. In 1910 more than 57 per cent of the blacks were reported as illiterate. That has now been reduced to a little over 30 per cent. If the 1920 census shows as well for them, the white people may find themselves left behind, at least in elementary education.—Boston Transcript. The department of agriculture estimates that disease and exposure caused a loss in meat animals in this country amounting to $150,000,000. Charley Why, a wealthy Chinese of Stockton, Cal., enjoyed the most expensive turtle dinner on record when he dined off the only one of eleven turtles which survived a trip from China.

In an ecclesiastical discussion that occurred at one of the general assemblies of the Presbyterian church in the United States Doctor Krebs was pressing his antagonist, Doctor Breckinridge, hard with his authorities, and at last, as the New York Times relates, came down on him with this: "And now I will proceed to quote Breckinridge against Breckinridge." Without rising from his seat, Doctor Breckinridge instantly retorted, "And you could not possibly cite an authority that would have less weight with me!" THE PROFESSOR'S STATEMENT. Prot. Aug. F. W. Schmitz, Thomas, Okla., writes: "I was troubled with Backache for about twenty-five years. When told I had Bright's Disease in its last stages, I tried Dodd's Kid- ney Pills. After using two boxes I was somewhat re- lieved and I stop- ped the treatment. In the spring of the next year I had another at- its last stages, I tried Dodd's Kidney Pills. After using two boxes I was somewhat relieved and I stopped the treatment. In the spring of the next year I had another attack. I went for Dodd's Kidney Pills and they relieved me again. I used three boxes. That is now three years ago and my Blackache has not returned in its severity, and by using another two boxes a little later on, the palm left altogether and I have had no trouble since.
