UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS LIBRARY DEC 23 METROPO MOT I. NO. 39 METRO OTHE A. GAM Rev. A. Lovelace, in School. Nashville, Tenn., Nov. 21. Editor of the Gazette: Please allow me through the columns of your worthy paper, that I am in the city and according to previous plans am attending the National Baptist Theological school (unincorporated convention) every day. The School according to the advertisement of the trustees threw open its doors last Monday the 17th. A splendid program was arranged and great enthusiasm prevailed and after more than a quarter of a century of planning on the part of the Baptist they are enabled to operate the greatest Negro Baptist School in all the world. These buildings are ideal in every department. Mt Olive Baptist Association of Illinois will receive the credit of being here. I was greatly encouraged by our wide-awake moderator Rev. J B. McCrary, who is a trustee for this school. I trust that each pastor will take a special collection at once so as to reach me here by the 1st of Dec. or of each month. Any amount will be thankfully received and the same reported in the columns of the pastor Rev Thos, Morris, and the Antioch Baptist church, Metropolis; Macedonia Baptist Church; Mt. Pleasant Baptist church, and Mr. C. V. Parker (white) Harrisburg, for the financial assistance and will try to make good. I am yours for the defense of the gospel. Rev. A. Lovelace. Cor. 7th & Sevier, Sts In care of Rev. J. L. Harding. Let each church of this district lift a collection at once and forward same to Rev. A. Lovelace, Nash. ville, Tenn, in care of Rev J. L. Harding Sec'y.-Treasurer. Nehemiah's Band. Nehemiah's Band was entertained Tuesday night of last week the 2nd at the residence of Mr. and Mr. Eli Huff, on N Pearl, St.. Miss Viola Blackwell and Mr. G W. Long, furnished the refreshments. There were about 40 persons present who enjoyed the eve, especially the menu that was served. Much business was transacted for the promotion of the club from a social and financial standpoint. Formerly this was a stag club, but as the attendance was small, they finally persuaded the sisters to join them, since they have taken in hand principally this organization has taken on new life to the extent that it is the leading club of the 1st Baptist church and the city. They are planning for a Xmas Art Museum with articles presented by the women. Much interest and amusement will center around the booths we are informed. And we know it will be a success with such workers as Mesdames Hooper, Long, Jackson, Waters, Parks, Fossie, Buc'anan, Shannon, Field 18 1919 ILIS W TO: "HEW TO THE LINE, LET OPOLIS, ILLINOIS F ERS W PBELL, O BROTHERS GRANTED REPRIEVE Raleigh, N. C., Dec., 3—Ralph and Sinclair Connor, brothers, sentenced to die in the electric chair and only three days from their doom were granted a reprieve pending an appeal to the Supreme Court. The brothers were convicted for the murder of a deputy heriff. THE NEW YORK TIMES Rev. H. A. Boyd, Member of the National Baptist Publishing Board, Nashville, Tenn., who was declared recently by the Chancery Court, to be one of the original Board member.s He has been selected a delegate to National S. S. Congress next June to Japan, A good selection. and others. The Silver Leaf members are to assist this club in a joint play on Christmas eve and the citizens of Metropolis and visitors may look forward to a delightful day and night. The ladies who are members of this club are to be recommended with when it comes to active church work. There are such women as Mesoames Ford, Beard, Cork, Rodgers, Jones, Barnard, Townley, and a host of other active workers who belong to this club and we see no reason why with the assistance of the many members to back these clubs financially that this church cannot have a basement for the purpose of giving entertainments. No church is on the modern order that has no basement especially when they are out of debt and with a membership of active workers, such as the First Baptist church. Mr. Harrison Howard.

Kansas CityHorrified at the Wanton and Unprovoked Murde. of Rev. W. A. Campbell, Supervisor of American Woodmen. ROBBERY APPARENTLY THE MOTIVE. All Kansas City was stunned last Wedn sday night when the news spread rapidly over the city, that about 8:30 Rev. W. A. Campbell pastor of Mt. Taborn A M. E. church, 33rd and Hardesty, and Supervisor of the Kansas City district for the American Woodmen, was stopped by a highwayman and without a moment's warning shot down with a large calibre revolver which pierced the intestines, necessitating an operation from which the doctors said there was no hope for recovery, and fully conscious with an impressive prayer upon his lips, he passed away Thursday night at 7:30 in the presence of that God that he had served so acceptably during his ministerial career. Mr. Campbell was a man of commanding appearance standing about six feet two, vigorous and healthy and a splendid worker for his organization which he had built up until it was a membership of 800 here in the city. Only the Sunday before he had delivered a glorious sermon at the Quarterly meeting services at St. John's church and had received many compliments on its excellence. Rev. Campbell was engaged in the building of a new church for his congregation and had expressed great hopes for the future, but fate had ordained that it was not to be. His aged father came from Georgetown, Miss., to take the body back to the old home for burial and assisted by the Ministerial Alliance an the Woodmen and his many friends and congregation, the body left last Thursday for its final resting place. No clue to the murderer has been obtained as yet but many believe that time will unravel the mystery and that this wanton murderer will be brought to justice. The territory around 12th street is becoming both unsavory and dangerous and the best citizens of the race for the safety of themselves and their families must enlist the services of the city and state authorities and proceed to clean up the crooked element that infest various sections of our city. The Sun extends its deepest sympathy to the family of Rev. Campell.—The Sun. Social Club Organized. Last Friday night at the residence of Mrs. Larry Rodgers, on N. Broadway, a social club was organized with Lieut. G. B. Alston, and Mrs. Larry Rodgers, prime movers. TWO MORE NEGRO DEPUTY SHERIFF'S ARE APPOINTED (The St. Louis Argus.) R. W. Kent, of the Kent Auto Delivery Co., and Henry Burke, were appointed Deputy Sheriffs by Hon. George P. Weinbrenner, present high sheriff of this city. This makes four Negroes that have been appointed by Mr. Weinbrenner, he having appointed two when he entered office three years ago. R. W. Kent and Henry Burke were appointed Deputy Sheriffs December 1st. Bell Club Organized. Mrs. Belle Tyson, president of a bell club and Mrs Mattie Fossie, vice president entertained at the home of the latter's last Thursday day night. This club was brought into existence by Mrs Belle Tyson, who holds membership with the Shapperd St. Baptist church, Princeton, Ky., but who for sometime has been in the city visiting her daughters Mesdames, Edgar McCrayn, and Lee Belle Duke. Seeing that the First Baptist church was without a bell, it being broken during the cyclone which destroyed the church building, being an active worker when at home, suggested the purchase of a bell. Mrs. Fossie and others joined her in this worthy effort and a club was organized for the avowed purpose as mentioned above. A small number met at this home on the night mentioned but a jolly time was enjoyed by all and it was given up by all club goers that the best lunchon of the season was served by these two good women. Seemingly the best was kept back for the last and they were highly complimented on the affair and given a vote of thanks. There will be a bell rally next Sunday at which time every male member and friends are asked to give $1.00 or more and females are asked to give 500 to make the 1st payment of $51.00 on a $102 bell. This bell would ordinarily cost $150.00 but with a donation by the factory for cash or nearly so we get it for the above price. We should raise the whole amount within 60 or 90 days. The club will be entertained this week at the home of Mrs. Ellen Buchanan on West 8th, St. Mrs. Quincy Martin. Wins. In the Thanksgiving rally of the Methodist church, Mrs. Quincy Martin, was successful in having the largest amount of money. She was captain of club no. 1 and Mr. Geo Calhoun, of no. 2. Mrs. Martin, reported $113.75. Mr. Calhoun, $93.00. Total amount raised $206.85. This is good for the time of year and both captains deserve praise. Special Edition. Our special Christmas edition will be a "hummer", this year. We have our plans well under way now and are looking forward to the 23rd of December, when the Gazette will be placed in every home in the city with a record breaking Victory Edition. It has been well said that the Gazette is the largest, best circulated newspaper in Central, Northeastern, Western and Southern Illinois and we will prove this fact this year. All cuts of our business men, city and county officials and out of town people will be printed in this edition in connection with essays on the "Birth of Christ" from the students of Dunbar Schools. Letters to Santa Claus will be printed free of charge from children in and outside Metropolis. Please mail letters not later than the 10th of December. 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. J. B.

One afternoon the pair went into a café to have tea, and Green, who always insisted on doing all the talking, gave the order to the waiter. When, however, the tea things were brought, he noticed that something was missing, and spoke angrily to the waiter about it. "My dear fellow," objected Brown, "what on earth are you saying?" "Will you kindly retrain from making your absurd criticisms of my use of the French language?" retorted Green. "Oh, certainly!" answered Brown. "Only it seems rather a waste of time to ask the waiter to bring you a staircase when what you want is a teaspoon!"—London Tit-Bits. HER ONE PRECIOUS MEMORY It Was Not Dread of Influenza That Led Spinster to Dwell on Kissing Episode. The spinster waited two or three hours to be admitted to the presence of the man who visited their town once a month to retail good advice and his own proprietary medicine to the come-ons. At last she was 'admitted. "Yes; yes," said the brusque doctor, "I want to know if influenza can be transmitted' by kissing?" "Beyond a doubt, madam." "Well, a man with a pronounced case of influenza kissed me." "So! How long ago was this?" "Well-let's see. I, think it was about two months." "Why, madam! No harm can come to you now, from the exposure. It is quite too late." "I knew it," she sighed, "but I just love to talk about it."-Philadelphia Ledger. Satisfied. The gray-haired stranger bent over the desk. "Are you the society editor?" he asked. "I am." "Are you the person who wrote up the account of last night's big reception?" "Yes; anything wrong with it?" "Yes; anything wrong with it." "That's what I want to find out. Look here. I notice in speaking of my daughter you use the sentence: 'She swept about the room with an inherited grace that arrested every one's attention.' Now, what was your purpose in writing that?" "Why, it struck me as a first-class opportunity for a neat compliment to her esteemed parents; that's all." "You are sure that you didn't mean to insinuate that her father laid the foundation of his fortune by selling brooms!" "Then that's all right. Good day."— Dallas Nowa.

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. I am asking that you send your church, society or personal draft, money order or check to me, made out to Reverend S. 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 sent 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 Parama Zone; for the sake of the cri's lat 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 require hatte."

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, Recercirg 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 bonifid 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 worships with whether he ever pastored, or not 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 conflict 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 McCryay. 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. 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. Catarrhal 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 Catarrah Peafness that cannot be cured by Hall's Catarrh Medicine, Circulars free. All Druggists, 75c. E. L. Cheney & Co. Toledo, O.
