NEGRO POTATO KING PLEASANT SCHOOL DIS TRICT CONSOLIDATE BUYS MORE LAND NOV 12 1919 LIS W TO: 'HEW TO THE LINE, LET OPOLIS, ILLINOIS FR GO CASE GOE AIKINS, TUCKER'S AND MT. PLEASANT SCHOOL DIS- TRICT CONSOLIDATE For a good many years the Colored residents of Alikins, Tuckers, and Mt Pleasant School Districts have wanted a school of their own but there never was a law whereby they might achieve their desires until last June when our Senators and Representatives enacted a consolidated law, which gives school districts a right to vote to consolidate for any purpose. A petition was filed by the residents of the above mentio ed districts both white and colored, with the County Superintendent of Schools, to call an election for the purpose of consolidating the three districts into one in order to accommodate the colored children with a school of their own. The election was held last Saturday afternoon and only 8 votes were against consallation in the three districts. The colored people will have a school now in their own settlement and we predict that in as much as the present building law requires all school plans and specifications to be inspected before the building is erected that the colored man and his child in that community will be much better off educationally than heretofore. Justice comes at last. Notice. Notice. This is to inform all of the churches, circles and members of the W E. & E.

Dear brethren:—The executive Board of the above named association is called to meet with the Galilee Baptist church, Carrier Mills, Illinois, Eld. N. J. Norton, pastor, on Thursday before the 4th Sunday in Nov. All pastors in the district are invited and urged to be present. I am asking every church thru your pastor to send at least two ($2.00) to the Board for our Sup't. of Missions. We have been lax in our duty toward him. Lets bring at least two dollars from our church to help carry him thru the winter, and too, you who can not be present are urged to send at least one dollar to help care for the expenses of the Board. The brethren who you have elected to carry on your work from one year to another are out of all their traveling expenses going to and from these quarterly meetings, and if we failed to go we would be considered unworthy of the position. In order that we may be able to do your bidings. I am asking that all local ministers and ordained ministers as well who are not actively engaged in the work to send up one dollar to Board to help your brethren do what you have elected them to do, and have given us to do with. The work is HUMOROUS FLASHES Dark Future. "Get next winter's coal in P." "I should say not. I haven't even got tomorrow's meals provided for." Proof. "That baby of ours is some class. I can tell you." "I know it is. I've heard its class yell." Very Rough. Barber—Shall I go over your face twice? Victim—Yes, if there's any left! Heard in a Restaurant. "Is there too much dressing on your salad, sir?" "Yes; take it back and undress it." Oh! Yes, Indeedy. June—Did he marry for money? Belle—Well, he married just one day before his income tax was declarable. Easily Understood. "Adam is said to have been 125 feet tall." "Then it's no wonder he couldn't afford clothes." Fifty-Fifty. First Yegg—Money is plentiful. Second Yegg—So is cops; so-wot's de use? Airy Persiflage. "An aviator lives high." "Oh, I don't know; only one flight up." The Naughty He-He! Mrs. Benham—Where have you been? Benham—I have been to one of those afternoon tee-hees—Cartoons Magazine. One Test of a Vacation. A vacation is a success if the vacationist comes back with the consciousness that work is an easy job. Getting Together. "How do you meet the high cost of living?" "You are not supposed to meet it. It overtakes you." Quite Logical. "How did the story you cooked up to fool your wife pan out?" "In a regular family stew." Easily Named. "Can you tell me what are the yellow races?" "Sure I can. They're the ones with the crooked jockeys."—Baltimore American. Bad Substitute. "Have you a fireless cooker?" "No, but we have a cookless fire."—Baltimore American. "My husband reads me like an open book." "I wonder if he wouldn't rather shut you up." Wear. "I want some kitchenware." "Yes, madam. Clothes or crockery?" —Louisville Courier-Journal. Too Smart. Too Smart. "Did you see anything marked down at the new department store?" "Yes, the red elevator globes." Good Recommendation. "Who was the man who taught you not to forget anything?" "Why it was —ah—er—lit—was"—Farm Life. Indefinite. "What about that vacuum invention of your friend's?" "Oh, there's nothing in it." Matching the Days. "The days are growing short." "That's nothing. So is everybody." One Exception. "All that man's stock is watered." "Maybe in his corporation, but I'll bet his private stock isn't." The Result "He seems to be a scrubby sort of fellow." "Naturally. He made his money in soap." Then Pick Away. Proffiter—"What makes you work so hard?" The Common One—"Sure, an' I'm too nervous to steal, sir." Not Quite So Bad. "Have you that runabout on your hands?" "No, but I have a run-around on my finger." Use for Fat Ones. "And that stout son of yours. What is he doing?" "Oh he's a hammock tester." "A dollar! I should think a dime would have been enough." "A dime! The poor man said he was hungry and needed something to eat. The least I could do was to give him enough to buy a cup of coffee and a roll." The Modern Family Doctors. "Who is your family doctor?" "I can't tell you." "Why not? Don't you know his name?" "Yes. Doctor Johnson used to be our family doctor, but nowadays mother goes to an eye specialist; father to a stomach specialist; sister goes to a throat specialist; my brother is in the care of a lung specialist and I'm taking treatments from an osteopath." --- of the National Baptist Convention of Rock Hill Baptist Church Nov. 7-9, 1919.

ROOSEVELT ON "AMERICANISM' IN VIEW of the fact that the week of October 20-27 has been set apart by the Roosevelt Memorial association for the collecting of a fund by popular subscription to be devoted to memorials to Theodore Roosevelt, the same to take the form of monuments and living tributes in the way of parks, etc., it will be interesting to read some of the sentiments of this virile, fearless patriot on the general theme of Americanism, excerpted from his various writings: "In my judgment no man is a good American who is not, of course, an American first—an American before he is a member of any section of the American people such as a party or a class. I hold that the only real service which a party can render his party is to make that party more responsive to the needs of the American people."—The New Nationalism. "With all my heart I believe that our people have in them the same patriotism, the same nobility of soul to which Washington and Lincoln were able to appeal."—The Foes of Our Own Household. "We Americans are the children of the crucible. The crucible does not do its work unless it turns out those cast into it in one national mold; and that must be the mold established by Washington and his fellows when they made us into a nation. We must be Americans and nothing else."—The Foes of Our Own Household. "This is a new nation, based on a mighty continent of boundless possibilities. No other nation in the world has such resources. No other nation has ever been so favored. If we dare to rise level to the opportunities offered us, our destiny will be vast beyond the powers of imagination. We must master this destiny and make it our own."—The Foes of Our Own Household. "We shall never be successful over the dangers that confront us; we shall never achieve true greatness, nor reach the lofty ideal which the founders and preservers of our mighty federal republic have set before us, unless we are Americans in heart and soul, in spirit and purpose, keenly alive to the responsibility implied in the very name of American, and proud beyond measure of the glorious privilege of bearing it."—American Ideals. DOUGHBOYS TO HELP FUND ROOSEVELT DESERVES MEMORIAL, SAYS COBB Returned Fighters Loved Roosevelt and Will Lend Hand in Memorial Campaign. By IRVIN & COBB, Author. He could be wrong more often as a politician and right more often as an American than any man since Andy Jackson. He had vision to see what menace threatened us long before the danger became apparent to most of the men of his generation. He had courage to beg his countrymen to prepare themselves against the impending peril. To the struggle he gave himself and his sons, and he died for America as surely as though he had died on the field of battle with the uniform of a soldier on his back and a bullet through his breast. Through all the years of his life he served his land, and of his land Theodore Roosevelt deserves a memorial which shall speak to future ages of his valor, his work and his splendid Americanism. In Illinois, and for that matter all over America, the "doughboys" are preparing to re-enter another militant movement the week of October 20 to 27, when the American Legion joins in the nation-wide campaign to raise $5,000,000 for the erection of suitable memorials to Colonel Roosevelt. At the headquarters of the Roosevelt Memorial association in the Garrick building in Chicago it has been announced that practically every chapter of the Legion has signified its readiness to assist the drive, both out of respect for the fighting fame of the colonel and for the cause of Americanism, which is to be the main theme and motive of the undertaking. In Chicago, where $450,000 must be raised, and in other sections of the state, where $300,000 is the quota, committees from the Legion will take active part in organization and solicitation. Page Three AN OPEN LETTER AN OPEN LETTER TO THE COLORED PEOPLE- We wish to say to our people of Massac County, and the surrounding territory thereto. Having been solicited by a number of my people, also encouraged by some of my white friends who wish to see, and help secure employment for all returning soldiers, to enter the Undertaking business. I have finally decided to go into that business, with a view of serving my people, as well as having an employment, feeling that I can give them better service than members of the other race, though I am in friendly relation with all the other undertakers, and expect to retain that relationship throughout my business career. I am perfectly qualified to give unexcelled service and will guarantee satisfaction. I was born and reared in Metropolis, on 9th and Pearl Sts. Educated in Metroplis Public Schools, graduating from Dunbar High School in 1912. I then entered the Barnes School of Anatomy, Sanatary Science and Embalming, Chicago, Illinois, from which I graduated August 14, 1914, from which school I hold a Diploma. I then worked for Geo. W. Jones, 1914 W. Lake St., and Wm. W. Mason, 1815 W. Lake St., of Chicago, and was associated with the late N. W. Long, of Metropolis, for three years, thus preparing myself for the embalming busines. We are now located at 901 Pearl St., opposite the Gazette office, and we solicit your patronage. We will carry a small line of caskets only, at present, owing to the advance price on these goods, but we have arranged with a large undertaking establishment to furnish us with anything needed on short notice. We have a first class hearse at our command. Calls answered day or night; distance immaterial. We were in the U. S., Service for six months, trying to make this country safe for "Democracy," thereby insuring the colored man an equal opportunity with other races. Phone 229-Ring 3.

The Board, at its meeting in Norfolk, decided to hold a missionary meeting at New Orleans, October 10th, and that every church, society or individual be asked to send through their Board member, an offering for the Home work.

J Dixon, Field Secretary of the Home Mission Board, that I may send all of the Illinois "Home Mission" money in together, under the head of Illinois giving name of city, church, pastor and amount sent If you do not care to send money to me, please send me a statement of the amount of money you seet that I may get in the list when I report Illinois to the "Union Review." Please join us in this effort to do more Home Mission work this year. For the sake of our work on the Panama Zone; for the sake of the cross tat are coming from those who need the Gospel at home; for the sake of our blessed Lord and Master who has placed this work in our hands, give this matter your attention NOW, for "The Master's business requires haste." I am yours in His Name, M. L. Porter. Home Mission Board Member for Illinois. JOHN H. HARRIS Rev. R. B. Walker, Pastor Corrithian Church, Mt. Vernon, Illinois.

We, the Minister's of the Mt. Olive and East Mt. Olive Baptist District Associations of Southern Illinois, desirous of a more oneness in perpetuating the principles and Doctrines Legislated by Jesus Christ, and practiced by His Apostles, seeking by the word of God to bring ourselves, and the churches as well, more into the unity of the Faith of Jesus Christ, do now adopt the following Constitution. Article 1 Name. Sec.1. This organization shall be called the Missionary Baptist Minister's Alliance of Southern Illinois. Sec.2. Officers. Its Officers shall consist of a President, two Vice Presidents, Recorcing Secretary, Corresponding Secretary, Treasurer and such committees as may conserve the best interest of the body, all of which shall be elected annually by a majority vote of the body. Article 2 Membership Sec.1. This organization shall be composed of Missionary Baptist Ministers furnishing benefid membership in any regular Missionary Baptist Church, together with his good standing where he now pastors, or where he last pastored, or the church where he worship's with whether he ever pastored or not. Article 3. Authority. Sec.1. This organization shall have the power to receive to, or drop from, its fellowship any Minister or Ministers whom it deems worthy or unworthy of fellowship. Sec.2. This Constitution by laws,or regulations, shall by no means coeflict with the rules and regulations of the two Associations namely Mt. Olive and East Mt. Olive. Poor Church Fund. A fund of $57.80 was raised by the Mt. Olive Baptist Association at Duquoin, last week through the efforts and advice of Moderator McCrary. This fund will be used to aid weak churches when the Fund reaches the amount to justify. The money will be loaned for a short time at a small intrrest. We have a standing committee to look after this part of the work and we urge every church to establish a Penny Fund by lifting a penny collection every Sunday. This is a move that was in hearty accord with the association and was readily approved. Cartarrhal Deafness Cannot Be Cured by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure cartarrh deafness, and that is by a constitutional remedy. Catarrh Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed, Deafness is the result. Unless the inflammation can be reduced and this tube to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever. Many cases of deafness are caused by catarrh, which is an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces. Hall's Catarrh Medicine acts thru the blood on the mucous surfaces of the system. We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case of Catarrh Peafness that cannot be cured by Hall's Catarrh Medicine. Circulars free. All Druggists, 75c. Results All That Count.
