METROPOLIS WEEKLY GAZETTE POSSE BURNS NEGRO. HUBERT GROSSLAND SHOOTS HIS BROTHER WEDNESDAY Past Grand Master H. W. Bartholomew, Dead. Through the kindness of J. J. Taylor, of Sparta, we learned of the death of Past Grand Master H. W. Bartholomew, of that city, who quietly passed away on Sunday the 16th inst. after several weeks sickness. We were sorry to receive the sad intelligence, especially too late to be present at his funeral. He served at one time grand master of Prince Hall Masonic Grand Lodge of Ill., and was highly respected in fraternal and church circles. He was quite wealthy and was held in high esteem by both races and will be truly missed in that city and in the grand lodge. Peace to his ashes. Birthday Suprise Party. On last Friday night the wife and daughters of G. W. Long sprang the most complete surprise ever witnessed on their husband and father, on his 53rd birthday. There were about one hundred present of all ages and sizes. Mr. Long had pulled off his shoes to go to bed but for the timely arrival of his brother-in-law Rev. J. B. McCrary, who entertained until the arrival of the invited guest he would have been in bed. When the party came filing into the room singing, "Showers of blessings," led by Revs, Edga, McCrary and S. B. Jones, the hostess arose in utter surprise and excitement asking what was the matter? They explained it all to him and then his fears subsided. He undonbtedly thought that this was a gang of outlaws as they are so current these days. The time was pleasantly spent in talking, music and innocent plays as of yore, to the delight and satisfaction of all. Sandwiches, cream and nabiscos, were served. He received many valuable and useful presents and $3.75 in cash. All left about 11:30 feeling elated over the fact that they had made a neighbor and citizen who had passed the half century mite-post feel, that after all he had not lived in vain. May he live to see many more such birthdays, is our wish. Notice This is to inform all of the churches, circles and members of the W E. a E. State Association, auxiliary to the General Missionary Baptist State Association that Sister Nancy Brooks, was elected and authorized to organize circles and to do missionary work in general in the Southern district. She has forfieted all rights and privileges by associating and connecting herself to the Holy church. She has denounced the faith, and her connections with us has ceased.

Now UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS LIBRARY POLIS W MOTTO: "HEW TO THE LINE, LET METROPOLIS, ILLINOIS F BUR AND SHOOTS By it habitable places are made for man. It grasp the pen and gives us the drama, essay or oration. It takes the sword and wins the victory over the enemy. It deposits the ballot which makes Judges, Congressman, U.S. Senator, Governors, and Presidents. 1 POLITICS By Beauregard F. Moseley. The rumored combination to send ex-Governor Chas. S. Deneen to the Senate, and Congressman Smith to the governatorial chair to succeed Governor Lowden, insures the latter of a complete victory in securing a solid delegation from Illinois in 1920 to the National Convention. Without attempting to say all that could be said in praise to ex-governor Charles S. Deneen and Congressman Smith, or to belittle in any sense the splendid men that may oppose them, one must take into consideration the fact that these men would not tie up with someone who had no chances for success in the National Convention, or who were weak as candidates at home. Congressman McKinley will no doubt command a strong following among the Republicans of the state who believe that the equities of the situation demands that one of the senators from Illinois come from outside of Chicago. Local Church Federation. The above caption is the name of a church organization of First Baptist church, which took the place of the Convention organized some few years ago by Mrs. Lee Belle Duke. This club held a meeting Saturday afternoon and night and on Sunday a program was rendered as published last week in the Gazette. This was an interesting and progressive gathering; altho' there was not as much money raised as in the past as some of the clubs have lost their old time enthusiasm and zeal. The amount of money raised was $11450. This was a swell affair from start to finish as to rendition of program in the afternoon and night on Sunday but the trombone solo by Prof Larry Rodgers, was a rare treat captivated the entire audience. The address of Prof. Singleton gave satisfaction and it ranks as a masterpiece of oratory. The address thru-out was bristled with many facts of history, ancient, medieval and modern. The way he treated the common every day occurrences drove home some stubborn facts which will no doubt mold sentiment in the future life and usefulness of the young people as well as assist the old and middle class. The officers were elected for the next quarter. Rev. and Mrs. Edgar McCrary wishes to thank Mrs. Ann Tinsley, for the sweet potatoes, pickles and grape butter given them last week. Mrs. Tinsley, is a kind an affectionate lady and has many friends in both old and young circles. Mrs. Ellen Barnett, of Joppa, was in the city Saturday. MOTTO: "HEW TO THE LINE, LET THE CHIPS FALL WHERE THEY MAY." NOV 25 1919 "The Hand," Read by Mrs. Irene B. Haynes, Sunday Nov. 16th. The hand in its perfections belongs only to man. Its adaptation as a perfect instrument has led many to attribute man's superiority to it. When we part from dear friends, or greet them again after a long absence, the hand is extended. It is raised suppliantly in prayer toward Him from whom we hope for help. While it may be true that five generations are required to form an absolutely perfect hand, we refuse to believe with Balzac that persons of superior intellect always have beautifully formed hands. However let that be a true or false statement. The hand we know is one of the greatest forces in civilization. The hand represents the Physical Education and courage without which great intellectual ability is often useless. It is the servant of the brain. By the hand the Universe was created. We are requested by those in a position to know wheooreof they speak to do what our hands find to do. Its worth is immeasurable, and with the Heart and Brain form the three most valuable possessions. No reverse of fortune can destroy what is put into the heart—The Grace of God. Into the brain Knowledge and into the hand skill. The skill of the hand succeeded in breaking Hindenberg's line and stopping the great onward rush of Imperialism making the world safe for democracy. Our great statesmen and eloquent orators served their purpose; they have planted the spirit of patriotism in the breasts of many, but it was the the fighting men, the men who were skillful with their hands who saved the day, and retired Von Hindenberg, the german general-proving the superiority of the hand.

Greer, of this county was lynched here early today, being burned on the public square. Jameson was captured about 11 o'clock last night by a posse from Waldo, which surrounded a house in which he had taken refuge.

The posse took the Negro to Magnolia to turn him over to the acting sheriff but a mob of Magnolia citizens intercepted the party, took possession of the Negro and held him until preparations to burn him were completed.

I wrote you when we won the last case in the chancery court, and then I notified you when the Morris people took an appeal. They went to the court of civil appeals and went with them, which was correct as we were advised by our attorney that since they had appealed it would be best for us to follow the suit. The appeal and the argument with the attorney's briefs were heard yesterday (the 13th) at ten o'clock in the court room of the Civil Court of appeals at the state capitol this city. Both attorneys made their argument and presented their briefs. Our attorney, Mr. Jno. B. Keeble, of the Firm of Keeble & Seay, made an able argument and I think he covered the ground and took care of the case. He said he had the law and that he referred to all parallel cases. This is a matter however that the court will have to decide. There are five judges to pass upon this. I am writing you that you may know the exact status. The attorney feels that it will be at least thirty days before the decision will be reached. I am asking that you still offer your fervent prayers and that you ask God in His Allwise Providence to continue to guide this institution. It is only the earnest, fervent prayer of the righteous that availeth. Let the brethern all pray for that great Baptist founder and publisher, Dr. R. H. Boyd. —Editor. Stahls and friends.

We become wiser by adversity; prosperity destroys our appreciation of the right.—Seneca. Bureau of Chemistry Has Record for Strictness in Its Enforcement of Federal Act Notices of judgment covering 100 actions under the Federal Food and Drugs act have been issued recently in the service and regulatory announcements of the bureau of chemistry, United States department of agriculture. These actions were based upon charges by the government of adulteration or misbranding or both, of foods, drugs, medicines, and stock feeds. The fines imposed by the courts ranged from $10 and costs to $500 and costs. In some instances, adulterated foods which had been seized by the government because they were filthy and decomposed were ordered destroyed by the courts. In other instances, where only part of the seized shipment was spoiled, the courts ordered the sale of the good portions and the destruction of the adulterated food. The products upon which the larger number of actions were based, were spilled eggs, decomposed tomato products, milk which was contaminated or watered, spilled powdered milk, adulterated condensed milk, stock feeds, including cottonseed meal containing less protein than was claimed on the label, and drugs below the required standard. Other cases were based upon adulterated or misbranded pork and beans, brandy, camphor, candy, salmon, sardines, gelatin, oats, sassafras oil, peaches, apples, older, lemons, olive oil, oil of birch, peas, prune butter, vinegar, and mineral water. Copies of Bureau of Chemistry Service and Regulatory Announcements Supplements Numbers 58 and 59, which contain the notices of judgment, can be obtained upon application to the United States Department of Agriculture, Washington, D.

Panama is the oldest city on this continent inhabited by white men, and is the great curiosity shop of America. George A. Miller writes, in his book, "Prowling About Panama." Some of the cities of the canal zone are among the cleanest and healthiest on earth, but laziness, shiftiness and inefficiency are in full sway in Panama. Economic waste meets the prowler at every step. Probably Panamanians had less opportunities than citizens of some of the other cities to learn advancement in these lines, due to the fact that they were on the defense against the encroachment of conquerors for past centuries, its author says. Not until the present republic was set up, under the protection of the United States, was the city any better than an outcast of the world. Motion Pictures on Glass. It is reported that a new method for producing motion pictures by projection through a glass film (as distinguished from the usual commercial film of celluloid) has been worked out. This new glass film has the advantage of being only one hundredth as large as the film now in use. This so-called glass "film" is in reality a very thin plate of glass, upon which the necessary number of prints are made, and which is shifted mechanically before the arc. It is not known whether this method of projection is in commercial use. "When a Feller Needs a Friend." "Paternity has its responsibilities," sighed Mr. Gadspur.

WILLIAM LOREN SMITH, Clerk of the Circuit Court WALTER ROBERTS, Complainant's Solicitors. November 6th 1919. Notice To the pastors and constituents of the East Mt. Olive Association. 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 large and for the most part the men whom you have sent out from your association are large hearted men. Now we are asking the ministers deacons, and laymen that do not attend these meetings and remain happily nesteled day and night at home with your families, have some concern for your brethren from whom you expect so much. We are expecting a record breaking Board meeting at Carrier Mills, on Thursday before the 4th Sunday in November. The invitation is extended to Revs. S, McCrary, Norment. Moody, and all the brethren of the Mt. Olive Association who want to see a new Southern Illinois in Baptist affairs to come with helping hands and pocket books. We are yours for the Lord. W. P. Washington, Mod. Rea dThe Gazette. To the Churches and S. Schools: This is to inform you that Rev. A. Loveace, of Murphysboro, wishes to enter the National Baptist Theological Training School on NoA. 17th, the date set for opening this great school which is fostered by the National Baptist Convention, Unincorporated. He needs assistance and only asks that the churches and S. S. assist him in securing an education. I therefore, as Moderator of the Mt. Olive Baptist Association and trustee from Illinois of this Training School, located in Nashville, Tenn., contribute jointly the small sum of $1.00 per month toward assisting this young man in paying his way through college. Unity Baptist church and S. S., have voted to give $1.00 per month. We desire and hope every church, and auxiliary will willingly contribute for this purpose. Help Southern Illinois share some credit with other states in sending some one to this great school as it must be supported. Rev. Lovelace, leaves next week. Please indicate through the columns of this paper how much you are going to give. Rev. Thos. Morris, pastor of Antioch Baptist church, Metropolis, says he is willing to go record as one who will give $1.00 per month for his church. This amount can be lifted as an after collection or by giving 25c per Sunday. The time is at hand when we must help a struggling brother and sister. Yours brotherly.

METROPOLIS WEEKLY GAZETTE, METROPOLIS, ILL SNAPPY PARAGRAPHS Love all; trust but a few. No man is wise in the eyes of a fool. A poor excuse is worse than none. A kiss in time may prevent nine. Bashfulness and awkwardness are twins. Even the miser is generous to his faults. A pretty young widow is never a-miss. Love of a man for himself never grows less. Many a friendless man is his own worst enemy. Too often there is a sting back of honeyed words. No wise woman trusts a man who trusts to luck. Even the unmusical fish dealer knows the scales. The more some people tell you the less you remember. When the widow ceases to weep her weeds soon dry up. Truth and a woman's age are not on speaking terms. Ennui! is merely old-fashioned laziness putting on lugs. Love knows nothing about philosophy and cares less. After all, the easiest way to do a thing is to do it right. Enterprise is a sprout that is pruned by experience. A woman doesn't necessarily cry when she sheds tears. Matrimony has cured many an old bachelor of selfishness. Any man who buys a mule is sure to have a kick coming. More people are pinched by poverty than by the police. The open season for hunting trouble lasts 365 days a year. The man who is long on words is apt to be short on deeds. Some people do odd things for the purpose of getting even. Our idea of a wise girl is one who can't sing and knows it. The first and last years of a man's life are not very strenuous. Persons not vaccinated are not permitted to vote in Norway. Begin to educate your grandchildren by educating yourself. But the mother always has an excuse for the juvenile terror. In Iceland whistling is forbidden as a breach of divine law. Love realizes its blindness shortly after the marriage ceremony. When in need of a good line of talk, patronize a telephone company. Stage jokes are evidently made of kind words, for they never die. The popular watering place at this stage of the game is the office cooler. When some people feel for the poor they never feel in their pockets. When a fool offers to back up his argument with a bet a wise man shuts up. An average man is generous to a fault. If it doesn't belong to other men. If people were given all they pray for the world would have to be enlarged. Women think no more of stealing hatpals than men do of stealing umbrellas. No, Rafalo, a man should hide nothing from his wife—even if it were possible. People who attend to their own business have but little time for criticizing others. Love is a good deal like a stubborn mule. There's no telling what kind of stunt it will do next. When you meet a man who is thoroughly content, you see one where ambition has gone to bed. A minister talks about his "work" but the male members of his congregation are apt to call it a "snap." Any girl can paint her own portrait several years in advance by getting her mother to pose as the model. There is one good feature about breaking up housekeeping; it enables people to get rid of their old furniture. The list is by no means exhausted, but the first group is the most important, because it is the talkers who have the greatest power to mar a journey. One can ignore the vagaries of the others, but the persistent talker is not to be disregarded, however absorbing one's novel may be, and particularly so when he sits in the opposite seat and has a roving and compelling eye, as he almost always has. That mechanical nuisance, the railway wag, seems to be on the decline. At any rate, it is long since I saw any fresh signs of the old obliterative facetiousness which removed the "s" from "seat," so that each side of the compartment was made to "eat five persons," or reduced "until the train stops" to "until the rain stops." But once there were few carriages which had not been under this humorist's knife. Another railway character, which no doubt exists, I never have seen at all. I refer to the man who—but I will tell you. There was a mixed discussion the other day upon the performers of actions which gave distinction by their rarity, and I won by naming this personage. What, the argument ran, was the most uncommon thing which, in a normal sphere, any of us had done; that is to say, not in the jungle, not in Labrador or Tierra del Fuego, but where tall hats are worn and offices attended? Well, this one had shaken hands with the king and that one had caught our Tom Hayward; this one had escaped from a house on fire, and that had arrested a burglar in his own dining room. But such deeds, though remarkable, are not unique; other men have clasped the regal fingers, and Tom Hayward is not exclusively bowled, or run out, or stumped, or given (very unfairly) leg before; while fires and burglaries are of too constant occurrence. Hence it was I who beat them all by saying that I had once stopped a train by pulling the communication cord. I hadn't, of course, but it carried the day. Not only was it untrue of myself, but I have never met anyone of whom it was true or who was in a train when such a thing happened. Saint Sweeny. Saint Sweeny was a real flesh and blood saint. He was nineteenth in succession to Saint Patrick in the See of Arnigh, and succeeded to the archbishopric in A. D. 715. "The Four Masters," as also the Book of Leinster, states him son of Cromall, son of Ronan of the Ui-Niallain. "The Leabhar Breaç calls him InSul, that is the sage. His death is set down as occurring June 21, 729 (recte 730), on which day his festival is mentioned in the Martyrology of Donegal. "All the lists have him sitting fifteen years but that in the Yellow Book of Lecan, which assists only twelve." In Irish the name is spelled Süibhne, but has been anglicized Sweeny, which approaches very nearly the true pronunciation. In the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle at the date A. D. 892 the death of the celebrated Süibhne, son of Maumlah, anchorite and scribe of Clonmachnois, is recorded as follows: "In the same year 892 died Swifthe, the most learned doctor among the Scots." This clearly indicates the contemporary pronunciation of the name. He was one of the three Irishmen who visited Alfred the Great in 891. A Parisian bookseller has found an ingenious way of providing the people of his "quartier" with poetry, in spite of the fact that the price of books has risen to an extent which places them beyond the reach of many pursues. Outside his shop he set up a large blackboard on which he chalks up, every morning; a fresh poem by one of the younger poets of whose works he is publisher. The idea has proved very popular. Every morning students of the Quarter Latit pause before the blackboard to enjoy this literary feast so generously offered without money and without price. She Knew. The circus was coming to town and the bills were being posted in all sorts of conspicuous places. Two women stopped to look at one. "Which show is it, Ringling's or Barpum and Batley's?" one of them asked the other. The other turned and smiled wisely at her companion. "It's both of them together," she gave out the information. "Didn't you know they had collaborated?" She Needn't Wait. Mother was putting Max to bed. "Now Max," said mother, "come let me hear your prayers, or you won't get to go to Heaven with mother." Max, rolling over, answered sleep- ly: "Well mother, you go ahead. I come with pop." Page Three OPEN LETTER DELORED PEOPLE To our people of Massac County, Territory thereto.
