METROPOLIS WEEKLY GAZETTE UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS LIBRARY AUGUST 17, 1922 MET VOLUME XXIV. NO And whereas this fact is evidenced in the world's war, the Hand of Jehovah has fallen heavenly upon the world because of her disregard for law and order. LUTHER L. EVERS. County Supt. of Schools. Administrator's Notice And whereas as the late Thomas Jefferson, the father of democracy, is often quoted as having said, having the slavery question under consideration; when I but reflect that God is just I tremble for my country. The late Talmage, every drop of blood drawn with the lash was paid back with the sword. And whereas it is given out in Holy Writ, that whatsoever a man sowetn that shall he also reap, that which is true of an individual, is also true of a nation. And whereas only the weak must eel the heavy hand of oppression, but the strong as well, for there is no chain stronger than its weakest link. The strength of the chain must be tested by its weakest link. And whereas no nation is stronger than its weakest race. And whereas the colored people of the United States, are but the weak link in the chain. And whereas they are suffering untold hardships, by reason of mob violence, such as burning their homes, tiring the bodies of their victims to the stake and setting them on fire, put them to death by piece-mals. And whereas the states seems to have either lost the power of control or indifferent to the cause of justice. Wherers designing politicians to take refuge behind the doctrine of state rights; and whereas this claim is but a snare and a delusion so as to hold and keep the colored race at the mercy of mob violence and to curb, and destroy the self respected, thrifty and industrious ones of the race that are striving to do something, own and control something. This is evidenced in the fact, of the burning of homes of innocent colored people, who are self respected and law abiding citizens. Therefore, be it Resolved. That this Association Commend Congressman Dyer of Mo., for "Anti-Lynch Bill." That this Association, recommend the churches of the East Mt. Olive Association file letters with Representative Thos. S Williams, to support the "Dyer, Anti-Lynch Bill" making mob violence, a Federal crime. That this Association commend the good white people in this country, that are doing what they can to better the conditions of the colored Race. That a copy of these resolutions be sent to Thos. S. Williams, M C. That this Association commend The National Association for the advancement of the Colored people. ```markdown ``` Ed Cockerel Announces.

MOTTO: , "HEW TO THE LINE, LET THE CHIPS FALL WHERE THEY MAY?" FRED SMITH. County Judge of Massac County. Judge Smith, is giving general satisfaction. George Page, 27 years old, 1607 Prospect avenue, was found lying on the sidewalk at Fifteenth street and Brookly avenue about 4 o'clock Sunday morning by H. T. Woolery and Edward Stanley, patrolmen working out of the Flora avenue police station. Blood was flowing from a cut over the right and on the left side of the throat. Page told the patrolmen that he had been held up at Fifteenth street and Montgall avenue by a Negro. Finding little value in his pockets, the Negro stabbed him. Page told the officers. The patrolmen didn't believe the man's story and started an investigation after Page had been sent to the General hospital. With the aid of their flashlight, and blood spots on the sidewalk, the offices soon found themselves The Association also recommends that the constituents of the East Mt Olive give it their morale and financial support by becoming members, one dollar per year.

METROPOLIS, ILL 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. Catarrhail Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tubes 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.
