Roscoe Simmons Visits The Gazette Office. ILLINOIS FRIDAY Roscoe Simmons Visits THE Col. Roscoe C. Simmons, in company with Mr. Henry Hutchinson paid this office a pleasant call Thursday. We were indeed glad to have the Col drop in and look upon us, and see what we were doing. He is a newspaper man too, and says he employs 13 young people in his place of business. We are always glad to have such a distinguished gentleman as he to A Card From Dr. Neville. To the voters of Metropolis: In last weeks issue of the Republican Herald appeared an article which has been generally construed as extelling the administration of the City's affairs. As I see it, the most important thing for this, or any other administration of our City, is the proper handling of our water and light plant because some of our best manufactures are depending on this plant for power to run their plants, which gives work to our laboring class, and as our business men are depending on both manufacturers and labor for their business and we are all depending on it for our lights and water for domestic uses, and last but by no means the least, fire protection. I like the idea of letting the people know all the facts about their business so that they may be able to vote intelligently. Now, what are some of the facts about the conditions of our water and light plant? We understand from what would be considered the very best authority that the plant is in almost a state of collapse. It is estimated by men who are competent to know that it will take from $12,000.00 to $15,000.00 to put our plant in anything like a first class condition. In last weeks issue of the Herald you will notice the administration claimed to have saved the sum of $22,000.00 through their financing. They have had more money paid to them from the people of Metropolis than any other administration that the city has ever had. The facts are they had the benefit of about 12,000 more in the way of taxes than any former council ever had and we users of the water and ```markdown ``` look in upon us, and we extend him an invitation to come back again, should he come back to our city, which we hope he will. We were not present when he spoke on Thursday evening, but were informed that it was excellent. He is some orator alright, and we believe when it comes to speaking he is in a class to him elf. lights are paying almost double for the same service that we have had in former years. Taking this in consideration there is not the credit due the present administration as claimed. If you elect me your mayor I will take you into my confidence and we will manage the business of our city as intelligently as it is possible to do. I also promise you a strict enforcement of the law. We will reorganize the several committees as provided by the city ordinance. If you give me your vote, I will give you faithful, open and continuous service. Will be fair to labor and fair to the consuming public. Sparks From The Field By C.C. Phillips, Supt. of Mis We spent Thursday night of last week and while there we gazed in on the Rock Hill revival of which Dr. Wm Moo y is pastor. Dr. G. W. Dorsey and the other Ministers of the city were very much in evidence. Elder H. E. McWiliams State Missionary and the writer incidentally ran into each other in Carbondale Thursday, He spent 11 a.m. Sunday with Moo, Eld. J. D. Davis' congregation Colp, and with Eld. A. J. Bowers' congregation 8:30 p.m. Shiloh Murphysboro. He dropped over to Dewmaine to see us Sunday afternoon. High day in Mt Z on Sunday, Elder J. H McQueen preached a sermon Sunday night to the delight of the congregation. We learned of the serious illness of Eld. Dan Parrish Md City and raised a collection of $7 00 Bro. Ministers look well to tails end yourselves and send him a contribution, lay the matter before your churches, and they for the most part will respond. Address your communication to Eld C. W. Cole, Mound City. We can see now the great need of the aged Minister's home. Brethren, Brethren let us not forget this sick Minister. It is he that distracted the swamp, bridged the stream and hung the light out for the Baptist in these two co. We spent several days in Cairo we lodged with our old friend Eld the State Missionary and we fared sumptuously. He and his good wife know how to care for the brethren. Eld. Head says he stands four square for the old time faith. We called on our old friend Prof. C. C. Wilson, after some little parlying and sparing over the last we had a heavy laugh, and his better half prepared supper. The thing that impressed us most was that he said, "Phillips we have fought, each other for years, but we are friends, and I have often thought that if you should be the longest liver, I want you to have something to say over my remains." I am telling you now. If God permits this we will do. Mrs. L. A. Mitchell has been quite ill but is much improved, also Mrs E. Martin. Dr. Brown S. T. B. preached his concluding sermon at the Mt. Moriah Baptist church Sunday, so we were informed. Dr. Oive gave an article to the Baptist Truth Jan. 20th in which he says that the Free Will's have repented, believed and have been baptized, and any one that fights against them coming to the Baptists is either insane or a down right hyporcribe. No matter if they do not believe in restricted communion and the perseverance of the Saints. He says he is a Baptist Minister too. We preached Wednesday night for Rev. C. W. Cole, he appears to be the man of the hour. He is to stage a big baptizi g in May. We did go to the Board meeting held at the Mounds because of the fact we were called to assist in the funeral of Bro. Geo. Tidwell a highly esteemed member of the A.M.E church, and citizen of Dewmaine We stopped over several nights with pastor C. W. Cole and his splendid wife, who has a mind to care for the ministry Pastor Cole stages a big baptizing rite first Sunday in May. We stopped in to see Atty. C. L. Rice and had a pleasant chat, of course his better half would not allow us to leave before going to the table at which place we always play our part. C. L. Rice ranks with the best lawyers, he has a good practice, there was nothing stood in the way of his being elected State's but his color, Pulaski and Alexander Countys have perhaps the largest votes in this end of the state. The white Republicans defeated Mr. Rice for State's Atty. and Dr. Young of Alx. Co. com. too. Atty. Rice stumped this co. for the entire Republican ticket and has many times stumped Central Illinois for the party ticket. We wonder how much longer the colored voters in these two counties will suffer themselves to be used as tools and tools for the "Lily White Republicans". All Baptists should get a copy of the Baptist Truth which contains Dr. Olive Mod. of the so called Zion Assn. respecting the Free Willis. Read The Gazette. Mound City. This will assure you and family that I am well, and hope the same of you. The meeting at Mounds was very well attended. Here are the most important things observed On Thursday night preaching by Eld. E. L. Martin Colp; Money raised during the Union of Mt. Olive Association $15 85. and $7.00 for Eld. Dan Parrish. A committee on Resolutions regarding the Gazette was appointed A committee from the M. and D. Union was appointed to draw up resolutions in behalf of Eld. Dan Parrish and present same to him. Eld. J. D Davis preached Friday night. A motion prevailed that the Executive Board of Mount Olive Baptist Association represent at Evanston with $5.00, also the M. and D. Union with $5.00 also a resolution sent you last week prevailed Money raised during Executive Board $27.40, and and $4.40 was taken for Sister L. A. Leake of Centralia Money raised from all sources Thursday and Friday $42 65. Elder T. A. Head and Prof. Wilkins of Cairo, Prof. G. W. Murray Ex Congressman and Eld. J. W. Wiley were our distinguished guest during the Board meeting The Executive Board of the Mt. Oive Baptist Association adjourned to meet in a special session at Duquoin, Ill.

The members of the 1st Baptist church Metropolis, voted nanimously to represent in the Mount Olive Baptist Association. That was the wise thing to do and the only thing they could do in order to justify themselves and the old Saints living and dead. We have some Ministers in the Mt. Olive Baptist Association, who want every one to focus their vision through their narrow lens and if they fail to see things as they do, then they are ready to criticise and denounce them. Such individuals are candidates for some insane asylum. They may never get ejected but they are candidates just the same. We view them as dangerous to society and the organization.

The churches to carry out their mission, as divinely instituted organizations must not forget the poor and needy. If a church or an individual shuts up the bowels of compassion against the widow orphan and the poor, How dwelleth the love of God in them? is a question to be answered. Every church small or large should collect money every Sunday for which to assist the worthy poor both of its flock and the community. Most churches feels they are exempt from this responsible duty, if they only pay their pastor and pay off the debts of their church, but it is a very sad mistake as Jesus has said "The poor you have always as much as to say. You have them as your charge and you are responsible to see that they do not suffer. That church which fails to perform its duty in making the needy feel that they can find a friend when in a penniless condition has fallen short of its missions. The chief duty of a church is to save souls and next in importance is to feed the hungry and clothe the naked. If some of the so-called church members, and would be christians would drink less "White Mule" Wine of Pepsin and the many kindred home made brews, and help the poor among them there would be a great deal of happiness in the world and the church. Two years ago the moderator of the Mt. Olive Baptist Association was handled by some of the Ministers of said Association of being an embezzler of the founds of the Livingston Institute, self appointed investigators made it their business to put up a cry thief, and to demand that we be put out of the moderator's chair, and be arrested. The bankers vindicated us, and we got our case before the bar of public opinion and our constituents found out that not a cent had been appropriated to our use and we were relected without seeking the office. Some of those ministers proved to be thieves them selves, others played traitors to the Association and still there are a few left who seem to be willing tools in the hands of some of our enemies who wish to crush our administration because we did not consent to the misappropriation of this school fund, and their slogan is get rid of McCrary, at any cost and we can get hold of the money that was voted to remain in the Bank for re-building of the Livingston school at Metropolis, and continuing the work after the war ceased and prices of building material came down and this edict will stand fast notwithstanding the great array of sentiment against Notice to Circles. To the Circles of the East Mt. Olive Baptist Association: Dear Sisters, I write you through your churches and to the pastors asking their co-oporation. I would love to visit your circles as the time is fast advanced and there is much to be done for the Masters Cause. I have had a deal of sickness also death in my family this year; but I promised the Lord through storms arise I would take my cross and tollow on. I desire to visit your circles. Dear christian pastors, I ask that you do not shut up your church at the hour the circle is to meet and say we have no spare time for the missionary. I hope that I shall have a letter soon from some president saying come and visit our circles. God bless the work. E. M. LONG, State Missionary 519 E. Howard St., Centralia, Ill. General Baptist State Associat'n Read Carefully and Act Quickly. To the Pastors and members of the churches belonging to the General Baptist State Association of Illinois There are only four months until we meet at Evanston Ill., and there is great need of money for Missions and Education. We have not done all we could do no not half. We have been telling the people that we are loyal Baptist and proud of our State Association. Let us stop telling the people with our tongue and from now until the annual session tell them by our work. Can we work? Yes? But will we work? Every pastor and member is asked to join your corresponding secretary n a drive for christian missions. It you are interested in the advancement of our state association, now is the time to show it. Send me your name and address and I will send you the plan to work for the success of the drive. I assure you it will not interfere with your local church work in any way, but will prove that your church and yourself are really interested in the work. Why not make this the banner year for the Genertl Association. We must not wait for something to turn up'for our own success. We can make this drive a big thing if every officer in the state association will at once send in their names and set to work, it is a very hard pull without cooperation, send me your names by return mail and get busy on the job. We know of some Ministers who are not satisfied with their high and exalted positions to which they have been placed but seek to either dictate or run every other person's official duty and even dictate to the churches what they should do. We pity such an individual, as he usus ally is short lived. A little learning is a dangerous thing. So is a little promotion in the hands of some men. A sharp instrument is dangerous in the hand of a three old chap. So is a little power in the hands of a man with little discretion. Both areliable to do themselves a great deal of harm by the unwise use of these instruments, but usually more Household Philosophy "Strange what a difference there is," said the household philosopher, "between things we need and things we want. There are many things we need in the house, but never can find the money for, while somehow we can always find the money for things we want that we personally fancy."

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. F. J. Cheney & Co., Toledo, O.

Olive Baptist Association has always stood for a fair deal to every one, 'big or little' minister or layman and will continue to stand for what we know to be right and our duty, regardless of criticism and indignation meetings by some of our brethren. And our attitude will not be changed whether we are in the lead or an humble follower. These things do not move us or cause us in the least to deviate from the right as God enables us to see the right. In this issue of the Gazette will be found the announcement of Louis LaVeau for City Treasurer. He is a first rate gentleman we are informed and will make an excellent officer if selected. We are acduainted with him but from what I can understand he is well qualified to fill the position. We ask the readers of this paper to consider his claims.

NOTICE Dear Pastors, and Churches composing the General Aassociation of Illinois. This comes to say my tours through the Southern parts of the State in the interest of our State work has met with much success, yea beyond my anticipation. The brethren where I have been have met me with open doors, hands and hearts, and the interest that is being manifested for our State Work has been an eye opener to me, since I have been out for our State work. May God bless the brethren so the good work may go on. But listen Brethren, I regret very much that I cannot come to all of my brethren and do justice to my own pastorate, and yet, I must reach you some way before our meeting in Evanston. May next. So I am trying to reach you by this letter to say I am asking all of the churches that are affiliating with our State Association to give your humble servant at least a five or ten dollar hearing if I get there in person, and if I cannot get there in person but come thru the mail please give me the same consideration as if I were there in person.

NOTARY PUBLIC METROPOLIS WEEKLY GAZETTE, METROPOLIS, ILL Senator Spence Makes Good. Senator W. A. Spence, of Metropolis, representing the 51st Senatorial district, is making good. He is chairman of the Educational Committee and during the absence of Senator Richard Barr, while sick he held the enviable position as chairman of that important committee. Senator Spence, is a favorite of the Senators and is recognized as a man of ability and the fifty first district is fortunate in having such a man to represent it. He not only ably represented his own district but stands out four square for every measure that is presented that will better the condition of the State. The teacher's of the State find in him a staunch friend, and some of them are trying to start a boom for him for Supt. of Public Instruction but the Senator is discouraging it. We predict that he will be returned to the Senate to succeed himself by an increased majority. Thos. L. Williams. of the 24th district was in Springfield. last week spending a part of his vacation. He is looking after the interest of the old soldiers and the boys who were in the world's war. Mound City Editor Gazette: Services were well attended all day.

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. Mme.
