METROPOLIS WEEKLY GAZETTE WOMAN SUFFRAGE WINS. 27,000,000 WOMEN WILL CAST THEIR VOTE FOR PRESIDENT! Tennessee Ratifies Suffrage Amendment to the Constitution--Women May Vote Nashville. Aug. 18 — Woman suffrage became a part of the basic law of the United States today when the Tennessee legislature ratified the Susan B. Anthony constitutional amendment. The Tennessee house today passed the ratification resolution which had already been adopted by the senate. This was the 36th state to ratify, thus completing the ratification and putting the amendment into the constitution a long fight for equal suffrage. The vote was 49 to 47 Wild were the scenes in the house chamber. The suffragists started a great demonstration. Immediately following the vote Speaker Walker, who voted against the ratification, changed his vote. This was done in order to give him the right to move for a reconsideration of the resolution. The reconsideration must be made within two days. Walkers's change of vote made it 50 to 46. Suffrage workers are confident that this move would not result in any change of final action, if a reconsideration is called for. A. N. Starkes. Announces We wish to call the attention of the voters of Massac county to the announcement of Mr. A. N. Starkes of Metropolis, to be found in our regular announcement column of this paper, for circuit clerk of Massac county. Mr. Starkes', name is an old household word, as he was reared in this cityand for many years was the owner of the Massac Journal, the Metropolis Herald, and until recently the Metropolis Daily News. It is therefore unnecessary for us to give an extended writeup as he is well acquainted throughout the county. He is well fitted for the office of circuit clerk, having studied law and been a clerk for several years in several of the government departments at Washington. D. C., and can recommend him to the voters as a man well posted and equipped for the place. During his long years of journalism, we have carefully watched the trend of his editorials and his diposition toward our people in the hours oppression and discrimination and we have found him to be generally fair toward us, leaving the columns of his paper open to us where we could set ourselves in a true light. We aask for him a fair consideration before casting your vote. NOTE BURNING At Unity Baptist Church, Brookport Ill., Sunday Aug. 15, 1920. As was programmed and announced last week took place last Sunday, The president Mrs. Ellen White and her corps of officers and members of the Bazaar Club, of Unity Baptist church had a note burning Sunday afternoon at 4:00 in the presence of a small but enthusiastic audience. After a very able sermon by Elder Leigh, pastor of the white Baptist church subject, A church with a future. This sermon was fraught with many interesting and intelligent facts, as to a visible church organized by Jesus, Christ, and the requirements of that church in the world. After a fervent prayer by deacon Moore, a short address was delivered by the president of the club, the members assembled around the table and the notes were placed in an open dish, and lighted by the president and the congregation joined in singing praises unto God for his goodness. Another note burning will take place the 1st Sunday in September as the club was enable to pay off another note Monday and the one Mrs. Tittsworth paid off.

H. Frank, Robert Mitchell, and others whose names we cannot recall. It was our delight to take six o'clock dinner with Dr. R. H. Boyd and have a 3 hours chat with him, Dr. Frank took us in his car and whirled us over the city to the Bank where he made a deposit for the association, they were nearing the $10,000 mark.

Home made cake It is very essential for the Negro especially in selecting and selecting men to office to administer the laws of the nation, state, county or even a municipality that such men be selected who are best fitted for office and who have demonstrated in the past a willingness to deal justly to all classes of citizens alike and who is willing to assist so far as his power goes that all persons who are under the folds of the Star and Stripes, are given a square deal regardless to their rank or station in life, or the cut of his hair or color of his skin. It is to be regretted and deplored that such has not been the rule in many instances in Illinois and Massac county within the past and it has been seen to exist more in the last four years than ever before. This statement cannot be truthfully contradicted, and we cannot see how any self respecting or intelligent Negro who has one bit of Race pride justify his acts when he votes for men of this type, when they know the facts in the case as well as some of these men know them. Remember you were loud and long winded a few months ago abut some of the outrages that some of our people have undergone to our knowledge. Rev H. E.

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 cartarrhaj deafness, and that is by a constitutional remedy. Catarrhal Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the m-cous 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. By Associated Negro Press.

METROPOLIS WEEKLY GAZETTE, METROPOLIS, ILL We pity that soul whose religion will not bind him sufficiently strong enough to enable him to rise above his evil companions sufficiently high and long enough to allow his light, (life) to shine forth to illuminate the pathway of some poor sinner that will lead him into that path that shines more and more until the perfect day We have several good preachers that are idle that would make good pastors if they were given a chance. Every church large or small should have a pastor, and carry out the great commission of Jesus. Ye should be doers of his word and not hearers only. Heed this message and herald it to the lost and benighted world. Every church door in Southern Illinois should be thrown open at least twice every Sunday that the gospel might be preached to every creature. Let none hear you idly saying there is nothing you can do while the souls of men are dying all around you without any hope for the future life and happiness. Rev. C. W.

Any other man styling himself a State missionary, though he be an angel from either worlds he has no appointment from the General Baptist Association and is an interloper and is misrepresenting the the facts when he visits the churhes affiliating with the above named associations as such. The old Mt. Olive has a foundation and a record behind it, as it was founded on solid facts and not on hate and misrepresentation. Its early founders stood for something in the days of yore.

Pressed glass was invented by an amble carpenter of Sandwich, Mass., but in the primitive state of affairs it profited him little. More than 200 years ago a Bohemian glassmaker conceived the idea of making cut glass. This idea was destined to revolutionize the entire glass industry of the world. The inventor began by making the walls of the article on which he was working thicker than he was wont so that he might cut the glass with a sharp knife into figures as he chose. Indian Summer. The term "Indian summer" is applied to a period of mild, open weather that comes in the fall, embracing the most of October and sometimes extending into November, and characterized by a sort of dry mist or haziness that differentiate it from other seasons of the year. When causes the distinctive features of the season, especially the heavy atmosphere, is unknown, and the origin of the term equally so. Differen. explanations have been given of both, but they seem to be largely favorable. Notice. Administrator's Notice.
