However, Went South Census Figures Show. Washington, Dec. 17 — The total number of Negroes reported as born in Southern states and living in the North and West had increased from 480,794 in 1910 to 780,794 in 1920, the Census Bur au announced today in a specia report on Negro migration baser on returns of the last census, The Southern boundaries of New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Missouri and Kansas were taken as the dividing line between the North and the South for the purpose of the report. Of the 10 381 300 Negroes enumerated in the last census, there were 38,775 for whom no state of birth was reported. The 780,704 southern born Negroes shown to have migrated to the North or West constituted 81 per cent of the total of 9,006,043 Negroes born in the Southern section The percentage of this migration for the preding decade was not shown. Against this migration from the South to the North and West, of the total of 741,791 reported in the last census as born in states of the latter region, 47,223, or 64 per cent were living in the South. Thus the proportion of Southern born negroes who migrated to the North or West, according to the report, was only about one-fourth larger than the proportion of those born in the latter region who migrated to the South.

Blossom Bradley, Reporter. HARDING SPEECH BEARING FRUIT. Misguided by President Harding Birmingham speech, the City Council at Atianta, Georgia, passed an ordinance prohibiting white and colored people from worshipping God under the same roof at one time, and prohibiting white instructors from teaching colored and vice versa. It is said that the chief argument in favor of such an ordinance was, that the social contact of teacher and pupil was nothing less than social equality. And that the social contact of preacher and parishioner was social equality. This is the first time in the history of the South that the lines of contact between the races have been so closely drawn by the lawmakers. Undoubtedly the imaginations of these solons have been overdrawn on account of President Harding's speech on social equality at Bittingham some time ago. Of course, The Mayor of Atlanta vetoed the law. But the point is, the miseniel that is likely to follow the ill-advised utterance of President Harding is already apparent—St. Louis Argus. Dear Pastor, Supt. and S. S. workers I am asking you in the name of the Mt Olive Baptist S. S. Institute to please accept it in your church.

Our District Supt. of Home De- partment and Cradle Roll has a message you ought to hear. I am asking the Board to give each S.

We know you have lots of little boys to bring things to, and we know too, that times are dull and money is scarce, and we are only going to ask you for a few things, and they are things we really need. My baby brother Preston Levon, wants some nice dresses, stockings, two suits of underwear, shoes, and some fruit, and candy, and I want a nice wool Jersy suit, ockings, underwear, overalls, ruit, shoes and anything else you would care to bring us Uncle "Santa," my mother says it is useless for you to bring either of us many toys, as we don't keep them long before they up, and we had rather you would bring us things we really need. Wishing you a jolly Christmas, and a Happy New Year, we are your dear little boys, Joseph Edgar, Preston Simmons even McCrary. S. Bartlett Kerr, Solicitor. Publication Notice.

Why continue to endure it—to sacrifice your youth, beauty, and enjoyment to it? The combination of simple harmless medicines found in Dr. Miles' Anti-Pain Pills is especially effective in relieving pain without bad after-effects. For more than thirty-five years sufferers from headache, neuralgia, backache, toothache, sciatica and pains from other causes have found relief by taking these pills. Why don't you try them? ASK YOUR DRUGGIST Quite True. "I have to face the fact," mused the fashionable photographer, as he looked over some recent pictures, "that there are some very only features in this business." 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 differentiates it from other seasons of the year. When causes the distinctive features of the sageon, especially the hazy atmosphere, is unknown, and the origin of the term equally so. Differen. explanations have been given of both, but they seem to be largely fanciful. Read The Gazette.

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 cartarrhal deafness, and that is by a constitutional remedy. Catarrhal 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. 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.

Without the knowledge of his work, is a failure. Lynching, mob-violence and human burnings still goes on in various parts of the United States at a clip of two and three times each week, without any one to stay thy hand, in the face and under the nose of congress, notwithstanding there is a bill before the House of Representatives which tends to lesson this great evil practiced upon citizens who are lawabiding, simply because they happen to be colored and with no power behind them that cares for this practice that has taken place of prize and bull fighting in the U. S., for the amusement and past time of the so-clled christian nation. There are better people in hell today than those who tolerate and conceive this barbarous practice. The president and congress are too busy with the more weightier matters, now claiming their attention, than that of murder and rapine by one race against another? While they dwell on technicalities of the law as to the passage of the Dyer Bill which was drawn to remedy this great sin and blot upon this history of a country which purports to stand up for humanity. Why not pass this law first, and then the people of the world will believe you are sincere in your advocacy of declaration of "Equal and Exact Justice to all." Righteousness exalts a Nation, but, sin is a reproach to any people, is the fiat of Devine Justice. Where there is confidence, there is peace and happiness, but in the absence of this virtue, home, business, church or society are rent asunder. In the multitude of counsel, the (right kind) there is safety. PUBLICATION NOTICE. Circuit Court of Massac County, January Term, A. D. 1922. Bill to Foreclose Mortgage. In the matter of John F.

LOREN SMITH, Clerk of of the Circuit Court, Courtney, Helm & Helm Complainant's Solicitors. November 21, A. D., 1921. 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. Where Are You Going This Winter? Why don't you take a trip to that charmed land of out o' doors and varied attractions—California? While California performs no magic, it does rest the weary and refresh the weak. One can be out in the open air and glorious sunshine amongst the fruits and flowers beside the blue Pacific every day—his whole system vitalized and energized, filled with what they call "pep." There's no end of outdoor recreation and pastime possibilities in California. Instead of being a hardship, the ride is a leisurely, carefree one, if you go via the Burlington. A continuous moving picture of inspiring wonders—farms, factories, interesting towns, facinating cities, gorges, canyons, rivers, lakes, forests and world-renowned mountains—through Denver (the Paris of America)' Colorado Springs (the City of Sunshine)' the Pike Peak region, Pueblo (the Pittsburgh of the West), the Royal Gorge (the most challenging canyon through which a railroad runs), Scenic Colorado, Salt Lake City (the Capital of the Mormons), Great Salt Lake (the mysterious American Dead Sea) and the ninety-mile-long gorge of the Feather River Canyon through the beautiful Sierra Nevada range. Convenient connection at Salt Lake for southern California points. If you think you can't afford it, analyze the situation and you will change your mind. It costs money to remain at home. Taking this, the delights, comfort and benefits of the trip into consideration, how can you afford not to go? There are comparatively inexpensive hotels, boarding houses and eating places, as well as the palatial kind we hear so much about. Ask me about the cost of getting there.

It is not written blessed is he that reedeth the poor, but he that considereth the poor. A little thought and a little kindness are often worth more than a great deal of money.—John Ruskin. Money Long in Use. Hindus for centuries have used new honey as a laxative and old honey as an astringent. Aborigines of Persia offered honey to the sun. Greeks still mix it with milk of water and use it as a libation to the dead. In one section of India milk and honey are handed to all bridegrooms as they arrive at the door of the bride's father, and in ancient Egypt honey was long a chief ingredient of embalming fluid.

Jersey and Guernsey cows give rich fat-producing milk, and for that reason their milk has been regarded as too rich for infants. It is still true that the milk of the Ayrshire and the Holstein is better suited to infants than the Jersey and Guernsey milk, but the cause is not the fat, as has been thought. The fact is that the cause of the Ayrshire and Holstein milk is decidedly more flocculated and not so readily curled in the stomach, so that it is the most easily digested by children. Waterproof.
