Negro Star

THE NEGRO STAR FOR THE GOOD OF THE PEOPLE Vol.15, No.28, UNUSUAL OCCUPATIONS FOR COLORED WOMEN (Lincoln Press Service) There are 7 colored police-women in the United States. Twenty-four colored women in the country are mail-carriers and 19 are "news-boys." You will be surprised to know that of the 116 colored postmasters under Postmaster-General New, that 40 of these are colored women. Preferring personal service as a means of livelihood, 12,660 colored women have employment as barbers, hairdressers and manicurists. While only 11 white females are engaged in shoe-shining as an avocation, 22 colored women are thus employed throughout the United States. If milady should not like the true feminine finish that her shoemaker applied to her last boots, she may pick among 23 colored women, engaged in the work in the country, to make her next pair. Of the 35,442 colored persons who follow the profession of teaching public schools in the, United States, 29,189 are women, 94 of these women have reached the age of 65 years and over. It is surprising to note the scarcity of colored stenographers in the United States. There are only 2,310 of these, of which 1,970 are women. Of the book-keepers there are 2,234 colored, with 1,611 females. Perhaps that last driver of the taxi you used was too reckless and careless. Call a woman taxi driver. You know there are 113 females among the 38,573 colored people doing this kind of work in the country. Or if you are entertaining special preferences for women, you can have colored females build your new house with the exception of the plumbing and gas-fitting. There are in the United States 34 colored women who are designers; 3 brick and stone-masons; 26 carpenters; 3 plasterers; 8 painters, glaziers and varnishers and 11 paper-hangers. After it is finished you might have it insured by any one if the 447 colored female insurance agents. That stubborn and unsightly stone ledge which obscures your view of the street; remove it How? That's simple! Just engage one of the 8 colored women, who work in powder and dynamite factories to blow it up for you. Memphis, Tenn., News. Rev. S. A. Owens, pastor of Metropolitan Church was full of spirit, and logic, Sunday. The S. School is fine; Prof. C. J. Neal, Supt. The B. Y. P. U., is one of the largest in the State; Bro. A. F. Geater, Pres. The Laymen Circle is full of life; Bro. Z. T. Bonner' is Pres. The Bible Band is also alive with Mr. Griggs Pres. The West Tennessee State Convention will convene with the First Baptist Church. The Ushers' Board is doing her bit Mr. Harry Gray is one of the proud ushers of Metropolitan M. B. C. It is wonderful how a Christian woman can change a man. We must credit his wife with the change that has come about with Mr. Gray; he is faithful to his church and also has a beautiful home on Driver St. Hon. Chas. Banks' death was quite a shock to his many friends. We regret much to look on the once have been Mound Bayou, Mississippi's great leaders of the race's passing; as Mr. Banks surely was. We met with Mrs. Caldonia Jordan Lee at the funeral of her brother, Mr. Frank Jordan. Also met Messrs T. I., Norah, and George. The funeral was from St. Andrew A. M. E. Church. The body was shipped to Lexington, Miss., for burial. We were pained to hear of the death of our dear friend Mrs. H. H. Hampton of Greenwood, Miss. In the passing of this our dear one, we mourn for the sake of the son. We were glad to receive 2 letters from our friends in Wichita, Mr. M. Livingston and family, whom we had lost trace of his whereabouts; and COULD ENFORCE PROHIBITION BUT NO LAWS FOR LYNCHING (Lincoln News Service) WASHINGTON, Nov. 2.—At the exact moment that Senator Carter Glass, of Virginia, was enveighing against Congressman Hill, of Maryland, for violation of the Bolstead law, in permitting wine to ferment in his cellar, a Negro named Carter was being taken from Virginia authorities, near Richmond, to be lynched. Senator Glass was speaking before the Citizenship Conference, in session here last week, and said: "If, Congressman Hill was in Virginia, I would find an officer who would arrest him if he allowed wine to ferment in his cellar or his parlor. In Virginia, we teach respect for the law by punishing its violators, and that is why Virginia is a law-abiding community." If what the Senator was saying was literally true, probably Carter, who was accused of attacking a white woman, might have had a trial by a jury in order that facts could be disclosed, instead of displaying that the Virginians would rather take a life than take a drink. Mrs. Emma Mayo. Call on Miss Mayo, she wants to become a reader of The Star. Tell her to write more often. Mr. Livingston reports he was elated over the write-up, also Mrs. Mayo. Mr. S. P. Terrell was in our office Saturday; gave us an order for some calling cards. Thanks. Rev. C. H. Flowers is giving us some work every week; why don't others do likewise? Let printers' ink help you. Our phone number is Walnut 2712x1; just call, we will drive out, collect and deliver. Give us a trial. Mr. Ed. Buffington, the Tailor is all of what it takes to show prosperity; he weighs 204 pounds—smile. Misses Emma Wilbon is back home after spending some weeks in Cal., in search of health; she is able to be at her post of business again. She is one of our leading undertakers. Very delighter are we to have Mrs. C. M. Davis, our black board demonstrator at her place in S. School; how we missed her while she was out in California, Chicago, and other places; spent quite two months on her summer vacation. Rev. C. M. Davis is all smiles. Miss Daisy Daniels is now at 964 Ford Place with her brother, Mr. D. Daniels. Miss Banks is quite an accomplished young lady of 962 Ford Pl., and will attend Henderson Business College. Messrs Peebles & Springfields have quite a nice grocery business on Mississippi Avenue. Mrs. Springfield is quite pleasant and inviting for customers. A very nice house lot 250x300; is what we call thrift. Mr. M. Mayo, Jr., was in the city, Friday; he is a Melophone musician, with the Keth Minstrel. He looks the picture of health; we only wish his mother could see him, he is something snappy. Mrs. Nettie Daniels was in Hernando, Miss., last week visiting relatives and friends; reports a grand time. Mr. Daniels drove down in his racer and brought his little wife back. The Misses Branches are quite busy in school work now-a-days. Mr. L. M. McClain has returned home after spending a couple of months with his daughter. Mr. Preston Ward will renew his subscription for The Star. The Ada Chapter No. 2 of O. E. S., has organized a Social Circle; all of which Mrs. Susie Gray is President; had an entertainment at the residence of Mrs. A. L. Harris, 784 Williams Avenue; everything was so nice. The Peonia Circle is the name of this organization; they entertained for Mrs. Boaman of Detroit, Mich. The Golden Circle of the 33rd degree Masons will entertain Tuesday evening at the residence of Mrs. Holman, So. Wellington St. WICHITA, KANSAS, DON'T LET IT BE TOO LATE No loyal Baptist should disregard the very urgent appeal of the Board of Promotion the instant appeal of our Building Committee indorsced and urged by Pres. L. K. Williams for $50,000.00 to push the work on our Sunday School Publishing House. It is not too late to help. To turn down or for any reason what-so-ever, not to send Dr. Townsend any money now is to greatly hinder our work, discourage your Building Committee, break down Dr Williams' program. One snow flake will hardly be noticed, but when they fall and fall, pile up on one another for many hours, they stop, City Country traffic, block railroad trains. So it will take the co-operation of many Pastors to put over the program, now mapped out. Pop Graham of Philadelphia, set an example many of our strong churches would do well to follow. It is not too late to help your Building Committee pay $50,000 to our contractor and have him push the work on our Morris Memorial Building Home of our Sanday School Publishing Board. Miss P. A. Bryan, who sailed for Africa Oct. 1919 in our party of 10, is at home again. She is an experienced nurse and was of great value to our Bible Industrial Mission. She was adopted by the N. J. Baptist and since returning is their guest. She sorrowed with Dr. Sisusa in the loss of his wife, Delta known so well to our whole Baptist family. Our women should invite her to speak in all parts of our country for the educational affect it would have on our churches for God. Yours in His Service, L. G. JORDAN. Kosciusko, Miss., Notes. Revs. N. B. Brown, S. S. Lynch, Miss Alice Alster, ... Spurgeon Lynch and Mrs. Minnie Olive all of Kosciusko, attended the Women's State Missionary Convention at Winona last week. With regrets we chronicle the recent deaths of Mr. Richard Dickens and Mrs. Jane (Frazier) ... both well known citizens here, and extend to the bereaved our sympathy. The Mt. Hope Association has just closed a most successful session. It was an $800 00 meeting. The Central Mississippi College the pride of the Negroes of the Central part of the state, under the management of President, S. S. Lynch, is doing well this year. King Cupid got busy a few weeks ago which resulted in the uniting by the matrimonial tie, Mrs. Daisy D Wicks to Prof. S. S. Lynch; both in the field of teaching and may their matrimonial journey be pleasant and may they ever be successful in the field of future uplift and development wherever their lot is cast. We regret the continued illness of Mrs. Gussie Young, mother of Mrs. Lula Johnson; hope she will soon be out again. Mrs. A. L. Dupree is shut in with a very painful complaint; hope she will soon be herself again. Mr. Morriss Mayo is quite a prosperous carpenter; he owns 2 very nice houses on Ford St., and has bought a large flat and house on Walk Place. Mrs. Annie Bailey was accidentally hurt, Sunday. The funeral of Rev. Mrs. Stelson was largely attended; a great woman has fallen. She was the wife if Presiding Elder Stelson. The Annual Conference of the M. E. Church was in session here last week at St. Anary, Corner of Mississippi and Alston; large delegation in attendance. Great work, fine report. Sunday during the conference was a high day in Memphis, a preacher was sent from the conference to all the leading churches. All congregations enjoyed a feast. All churches were at a premium for standing room. policy with the Royal Circle of Mr. Henry Franklin took out a Friends of the World while the E. P., was in the city. Mrs. Garrett is a "prospect;" what No. will get her FRIDAY, Nov. 2, 1923. SHORT CUTS. (The Lincoln News Service) A pretty safe prophecy is that the coming campaign will be one of facts and figures rather than funny stories and oratory—October Mid-West Review. Andrew Griffin, Washington colored man was fined $10 for killing his five-year-old son, while shooting at his wife and Warley Puffinberger was sentenced to penitentiary for two years for stabbing a cow to death at Winchester, Va. Henry Ford proposes to return his war profits made off the Government That's good! If the consciences of other profiteering gate-lifters, fostered by Democratic inefficiency, worked the same way, the public debt could be refunded without strain. First prize for the best essay, selected from the hundreds submitted from the District of Columbia, offered by the Firestone Tire Company, was won by Cortez Peters, Dunbar High School student in the Business Department. Peters also won the Underwood gold medal. ARE YOU AWARE? BY E. M. BARNES. That the Aware Editor has been confined to the house and bed for a week, and unable to be at his post of duty. He expects however to have sufficiently recovered in a few days from his minor operation to resume school work. That Junior Barnes is yet exhibiting some of his comical ways? The other day he was talking about a certain little baby girl; his mother said, "Junior" what would you do with a little girl? With the ready response of a grown-up, he replied, "I would puttum in jail." That little Allen Hutcherson is somewhat down in the mouth since the arrival of his new brother, especially because his (Allen's) bed is taken? That it is wise to be ye always ready for ye know not the day nor the hour when the sun of winter will disappear? That thinking gives indolent people the headache? This is an experience however that all must have to begin with if we would develop into logical thinkers. It is intensely gratifying to note that some of our people are waking up to the realization that to follow leadership means success? Remember that any plan will work if the people will acquiesce and make it work. Surprise yourself and think sometimes. Southwestern District To Meet In Hutchinson The Quarterly Board Meeting of the Southwestern District Association is called to meet in Hutchinson, Nov. 14-15. Moderator Hayes is asking that every auxiliary do more in every way than before. He especially wants to meet the best workers in the different churches so they can help him map out a program that will stimulate the work. Our obligations are growing and responsibilities likewise are growing, so to put over the program for the Master, we must organize and do some tangible work. The President of the Sunday School department is asking that you work on this plan:—Make your constitutional allowance of $3.00; push your special effort money with plenty of life and then have the teachers to have class rallies and the names and amounts of each class will be turned in to the secretary of the Sunday School to be forwarded with report from the Sunday School, thereby letting the district see the strength of the classes in each school. Do this at once so you can make a full report. Don't forget the date is Nov. 14 and 15, and every organization in the District is expected to have a messenger present or a full report. The Moderator is counting on you. KANSAS BAPTIST HOLD SESSION Thirty-Second Annual Session, Missionary Baptist Convention and W. H. & R. M.

Jackson, we listened to an illustrated address by Rev. J. D. Hunt on "The Seminary As A Dynamo." It was original and logical. Quite a sermon was prescheduled by Rev. H. W. White of Topeka. First Baptist Church Choir certainly rendered real music. Saturday morning was quite a business session. Saturday afternoon the Convention took recess.

Be it resolved, that we the members of New Hope Baptist Choir bow in humble submission to the will of the Father, who doth all thing well. We extend our deepest sympathy to the bereaved family and commend them to Jesus. One, who is able to bear all our burdens. In heavenly love abiding, No change my heart shall tear; And safe is such confiding For nothing changes here. The storms may roar about me, My heart may low be laid; But God is round about me, And can I be dismayed. Mrs. E. T. Fishback, Organist Mrs. E. Peterson, President. Chanute Notes.

Washington The Club met with Mrs. J. T. Chinneh, 530 N. Waco. In spite of the fact that evening was very gloomy, quite a number of members were present.

Sambo Sims—Sambo Sees His Finish By Russell YES, OLD PAL, IFEAR IT'S TRUE I THINK I'M NEARING THE END. KERCHOO! KERCHOO! OPRYER SERVICE BUREAU (1934) IM THINKING I'M THINKING THINKING— THINKING THAT I'M GOING TO DIE YES, OUT WHY THINK SO LONG ABOUT SOMETHING SO EASY TO DO? W. PURELL Sunday services were well attended at Bathichem Church, Sunday; Rev. Jefferson of Coffeyville preached at morning service and Rev. Scoby of Parsons, preached a wonderful sermon at night. His subject was fine; he brought a great number of his members with him to bear him up. All were wonderfully blessed. The B. Y. P. U., is very much alive. Sunday was Old Reliable Section—to render a program; all of their officers and members were present. This Section won the banner. Section hours from six to seven-thirty.

O he preached one powerful sermon. Our hearts rejoiced as God talked trus through him. At six o'clock Sister Brunson our president in the chair had a splendid program—Song by the congregation; trio by two girls and a boy; paper by Miss Genolda Vaughn; recitation by Mr. Bennie Vaughn, "Uncovered" which was very fine. It is good to be the master of yourself and not let sin conquer. A paper by Miss Ida Vaughn, "My Place in the B. Y. P. U." It was wonderful. She is only a small girl and I do wish all the little girls could have heard her and larger ones as well; it is surprising and might have inspired them to take a place in the B. Y. P. U. Miss Genolda Vaughn, paper: "Children's Duty to Parents." It was so grand and well gotten up. The humorous side of the program—Recitation by Mr. Gerone Powell, the idea of it was an opossum going to school. Some who were listed for this part of the program were absent; hope they will do better next time. The lesson was then taken up and well explained by Mr. W, R. Thomas and Rev. Merph(white)also our own dear pastor. Rev. Bruster ascended the stand and preached a powerful sermon to a good crowd; so powerful was his sermon that four accepted Christ on the terms of the Gospel. Two found Christ in the meeting, Mr. Henry Carter's children, they joined and two who yield their hearts to God there and then: Misses Ida Vaughn and Margaret Masterson. We have four candidates for baptism and three at Lester. The meeting at Lester closed with a great spiritual feast Thursday, all praying with one accord for one Mrs. Limmie Hargroves and the spirit of God or the Holy Ghost as a bright light, something like the one that knocked souls blind came on the ceiling of the church and all therein saw it; God blessed her soul, some who lived a mile away shouted all the way home. O what a meeting that kind that was never known there before; but He said He would come when we all prayed with one accord. We believe the pastor will start a meeting in Walsenburg, when he gets back for we saw two on the road who said by their ways that they were tired of sin; the pastor said for the soldiers to be at their post for he was going to try the devil another round. We were indeed glad to have Sister Weeks who has been gone to Alabama, to see her people, back again. She reports a nice time. Mrs. Hodge of Raven Wood, united with the church Sunday morning; we are glad to welcome her for the harvest truly is great but the laborers are few. Mr. and Mrs. R. B. Thurman were visiting in Publo. Sunday and report a good time. Mr. and Mrs. Wortham, Mr. and Mrs. Kingberry and Mrs. Annie Wilcox were dinner guests at Deacon and Burt's. Sunday. Mr. Thomas Odell Martin of Walsenburg, is on the sick list with typhoid fever has been for three weeks but is a little improved. Glad to note that Mr. J. II. Holmes who underwent the operation a few weeks ago is at home feeling himself again to the delight of his many friends. Mrs. Albert is much improved also, at this writing. Mr. L. II. Pugh made a flying trip to Colorado Springs, last Thursday, returned Monday evening. Glad to have Prof. Pugh in our midst; he is a well informed man and is such a help to the church work. Miss Cora Vaughn is preparing to organize a choir and will call those who are to take part to meet her soon some evening at the church. Mrs. Harris Johnson is going to organize an art club in the near future and all who are wishing to do art work, see her or Mrs. R. B. Thurman. Little Mildred Story is sick with measles; we miss her from Sunday School and hope she will soon be out again. She is a very bright child in her books; I do wish all parents would send their children to school and Sunday School. They should bring them but if they won't do that, they ought to send them. It is a sin before God to see how the parents let their children play ball and marbles all day Sunday, while they are sitting up in the church; letting the children go to hell. God is holding you responsible for your children. It was long ago that children obeyed their parents, but now the parents obey the children. O what a shame. Salina Kansas News. ST JOHN BAPTIST CHURCH Rev. S. A. Williams Pastor There was a large attendance at our church Sunday morning; pastor Williams selected for his text Ist Sam. 15:3; subject: "Utterly Destroy." He emphasized the fact that we are to utterly destroy everything in our lives that conflicts with right-courness or impedes our spiritual progress. The presence of the Holy Spirit could be felt in the services. Many good things were said that furnished much food for thought. At 3 p. m, Rev. J. L. Dudley delivered a strong Gospel sermon; his text is found in Heb. 2:3; "How shall we escape, if we neglect so great a salvation " He delivered another soulstirring sermon at 8 p. m., from this subject: "None good but God." The attendance was exceptionally good throughout the day. There was one accession to the church. Mrs. Moore, Warnego, and Miss Starks, Wichita, were among the visitors who attended our services Sunday. The S.

School was entertained with a Hallowe'en party on Saturday afternoon at the home of their teacher, Mrs. Winifred Travis Hallowe'en decorations prevailed throughout the house.

F. Warder of the Central Baptist Theological Seminary, Topeka, was in the city and preached a very striking sermon Wednesday evening; theme: "Paying the Price." Rev. G. T. Raimey, Mrs. Taylor, Rev.

Johnson chose for a text Isa. 53:1st clause of the 6th verse; "All we like sheep save gone astray." He indeed preached a wonderful sermon of which all enjoyed. He brought out so many good tho'ts Christ wants service. He is being neglected today because the sheep have gone astray. People oftimes say they are serving God because they pray much, but they are only asking God for service. He wants us to serve Him in proportion as He serves us. Much interest was manifested in the B. Y. P. U. Session. Many good thoughts were brought out of the lesson. Subject: "Kinsmen of today." Missionary. A unique program was by the children, conducted by Sister M. L. Simmonh. The hour having arrived for the evening service, our pastor selected for his text Gen. 26:19. "Anh Isaac's servants digged in the valley and found there a well of springing water." He preached a great sermon from the subject, "Water.' Showing both water as a symbol of the Holy Spirit. Water is to the physical dan what the Holy Spirit is to the spiritual can. Many wonderful thoughts were brought out, that will benefit each and every one who will take heed. It was indeed a heart-searching sermon. Four persons were added to our membership. We are filled with regrets to give up Mrs. Angeline Washington who left last week for California. Bro. J. Smith is still ill. Bro. W. of town for trip to ve States; he Bro. Wm. A.
