MYRTLE BLACKWELL, Belgrade, Ill. Metropolis. Ill. Feb. 4, 1918. Dear Editor: As I law in your week before last's edition where our boys in Houston Texas were lonesome, I have composed six verses of poetry, which I hope will cheer them. But I want them to have God for their daily studies. Oh, boys of old Company M, All in your units of brown, Of old Metropolis town, By the fire with your friends you sit with them, At Camp Logan in your tent, Of old eight regiment. You see, How does we will miss you this spring. Not seeing you run and lean, And hearing your voices ring, In that old Base Ball team, Davis, Jones, Neely and Hutchinson, Although I say to every one, Don't forget your Royal Master, When your daily work is done. Capt Williams, Burke's and Lieutenant Blaine. Do not look for wrong and evil, You will find it if you do, As you measure meet to your neighbor, As they measure back to you. Be kind, be thankful and be true, Of whatever you may do, At Camp Logan or elsewhere in your tents. Of old eighth Regiment. Kimball, Crosslyn, Butler and Evans, Say, Oh you bugle boys, That fill the world with joy. You certainly were missed this Ball, At John Renfro's Hall. So good bye, good luck and may God bless you. Then until we meet again. Upshaw, Stewart, Turner and Scott, And all of you who I have omitted, In this piece of poetry I have written. Although I have no relatives there, But yet I think it must be fair, To feel for those who have you there, And I hope Old Teddy Bear, Will free you from Camp Logan and your tent. Of old Eighth Regiment. A Mass Meeting.

Composed By LOUIE GREER. In the last Mexican War. The white Flake they began it, But before it was closed, The Negro had to be in it. In this great European war, The Servians and Huns Began it, But before victory can be won, The Negro will have to be in it. In the city of Houston Texas Not many months ago. A riot was started by the whites, And ended by hanging many Negroes. In the great city of St. Louis, Not many months ago, A riot was started by white soldiers, Was ended by the coming of the 24, Calvary. In the little city of Royolton, Where a Negro is not allowed to live or work, But when the great explosion came, They were glad to have a Negro in it. In this same little city of Royolton, Where they sent for the Negro to come, For there would have beed a great loss of men, Had it not have been for the Negro's rescue team. You may try to shut the Negro out. The cities have began it, But when you meet at the judgment court, God will rebuke you for the Jim-crow car. Pay them to wear a lie in court, Both White and Black will do it. But truth will shine to the end of time. And you'll find some Negro in it. White man, stop lynching, and burning. This Black race trying to thin it, For if you go to Heaven or Hell, You will find some Negro in it. We wish to thank our many friends for their sympathy and willing assistance during the ilies and death of our mother. Mrs. Saphronia Martin. We stand ready at all times to aid you in your troubles. We thank "Nehemiah's Band" and "Silver Leaf" club for the beautiful floral designs. LAVAPA MARTIN Ladies Industrial Club. Meeting will be conducted by the pastor Rev. W. M. Moody.
