PIANO RECITAL BY MAUD CUNEY HARE SPLENDID SUCCESS
The musical and song recital given Wednesday night, November 24, by Mrs. Maud Cuney Hare and Mr. W. H. Richardson of Boston, Mass., proved a rare treat to music lovers. Mr. Richardson is a soloist of renown, having served many years in that capacity for St. Peter's Episcopal church (white) of Cambridge, Mass. He has a rich baritone voice and bids fair to become the greatest singer of his time. Mrs. Hare, a graduate of the Boston Conservatory of Music, has won national fame as a pianist and on Wednesday night she easily maintained her reputation. The performance was given under the auspices of the Phoenix Protective League and that organization had charge of the entertainment and reception of the artists.
Arriving Wednesday morning, they were met by a committee and conveyed to homes where they were to abide. After inspecting the hall and piano that had been provided for the occasion, they were given a motor trip through the principal streets of the city. They also spent Thursday, Thanksgiving day, in Phoenix and were royally entertained by the members of the Protective League. A motor trip into the suburban part of the city and to the U. S. Indian school occupied their attention noon, when all enjoyed a special turkey dinner at Gallillard's cafe. In the afternoon a reception was held for them at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. J. A. Green, 947 West Grant street. The noted artists were introduced to a group of representative men and women of the city and after spending two hours in conversation and enjoying the refreshments, they left for Los Angeles at 6:15 over the Southern Pacific.
WORSHIP AND WORK
MUST BE COMBINED,
SAYS NOTED DIVINE
New York, N. Y., Dec. 2.—St. Philip's Protestant Episcopal church, considered the wealthiest Negro congregation in the world, has just closed a week's celebration of the centennial of its incorporation. The big edifice in 134th street, between Seventh and Eighth avenues, held more than 2,000 parishioners as the Rt. Rev. Charles Sumner Burch, bishop of the diocese, delivered the sermon at the opening exercises.
Bishop Burch expounded his belief that "worship and work" must be combined to get to heaven. "And the world needs the combination," he said. It is not, however, an age of materialism, since all around are examples of divine work, and the church still advances against all opposition. The evening meeting was addressed by the Rt. Rev Henry Beard Delaney, suffragan bishop of North Carolina and head of St. Augustine's school at Raleigh. A historical pageant depicting the growth of the church took place. A meeting addressed by George Foster Peabody and a group of ministers from other city churches. A group of white miisters, including Dr. William T. Manning, Dr. Ernest M. Stires, Dr. Percy S. Grant and Dr. George F. Bragg occupied the pulpit.
The Ladies Aid of the A. M. E. church will meet this Friday afternoon at the residence of Mrs. A. R. Smith, 1302 East Jefferson street.

When the advertisement of a business firm is carried in the Tribune, it not only serves as an announcement of the special prices or the line of goods handled by that concern, but it is a Direct Invitation to members of the race to patronize the business place; further, it is assurance of fair and courteous treatment.

DR. HACKETT BUYS HOME OF HUDSPETHS 14 & JEFFERSON STS.
One of the most important real estate deals to transpire recently among the colored people of this city was closed this week when Dr. W. C. Hackett became the owner of the property corner of Jefferson and Fourteenth streets, formerly owned by Mr. and Mrs. W. B. Hudspeth. This recent purchase places Dr. Hackett among the largest owners of real estate in our group. Two years ago he purchased the home of Judge Kilbey, 1334 East Jefferson street, and his recently acquired property which adjoins this on the east, gives him possession of nearly half a block of residence property. The doctor has let a contract for the erection of three apartments on his Jefferson street property and when completed will be a boon to the colored people who have experienced difficulty in finding modern apartments in which to live.
M. S. C. Club Meet
The M. S. C. club of the C. M. E. church met Friday afternoon, November 26, at the palatial home of Mrs. W. J. Jones, 1646 East Jefferson street. This club was organized only recently and judging from the interest manifested by the members, bids fair to prove a great success. A cordial invitation is extended all ladies interested in sewing and needle work to attend the meetings. The only requirement is that each lady bring some article to make. The meeting Friday proved quite interesting and after spending a pleasant hour in art and needle work, delicious refreshments were served by the genial hostess. The following is the menu: Fruit cocktail, bread and butter sandwiches, hot tea and chocolate, Waldorf salad, nuts, candies and fruit galore. The next meeting will be with Mrs. Oralee Mimms, 1333 East Madison street, Friday, December 3. Mrs. Wm. Pace, president; Mrs. Oralee Mimms, secretary; Mrs. Juanita Lewis, reporter.
Missionary Ladies Meet
The ladies of the Second Baptist church met last Monday evening at the home of Mrs. S. W. Thompson, 527 East Jefferson street. We were indeed surprised to find that so many of the ladies had presented the circle with a number of dainty articles and of course this made us all smile. We also transacted some very important business of which you will learn more later. Refreshments were served and enjoyed by all, after which the meeting adjourned to meet next week with Mrs. McCutcheon, 1215 East Jefferson street. Mrs. J. B. Bell, chairman; Miss Rosa Cunning, secretary.
Mr. Rodgers III
Mr. R. F. Rodgers of 547 East Jefferson street has been on the sick list the past two weeks, but is improving.
Mrs. Brady Indisposed

SOUTHERN WHITES NEGRO'S BEST FRIEND SAYS W. H. TAFT
(By The Associated Negro Press)
Brooklyn, N. Y., Dec. 2.—Former President William Howard Taft spoke on the race problem at the Academy of Music under the auspices of the Hampton Association of Brooklyn. In denunciation of race prejudice, Mr. Taft said that there is danger of a revival of prejudice against the Jew in the United States.
"Some antedeluvian people even now are trying to revive the persecution of the Jew in this country," he declared, "and nothing more un-American could be imagined."
Referring to the Negro problem, the ex-president said the solution lies in education and economic development, in both of which, as well as in religious development, he quoted figures to show the great movement of the Negro since 1866.
"The south and agriculture are the hope of the Negro," he said. "The south is his natural habitat, and as these figures show, he is actually chiefly working in agriculture. The best friend the Negro can have is the southern white man—I mean the educated, good people of the south. The recent migration of Negro labor from the south to the north, while it had certain deplorable consequences, also was very useful, for it showed the south that it needed the Negro, and that he had a remedy for persecution." Mr. Taft said it is a mistake for the Negro to do anything to antagonize the best southern whites. He paid a glowing tribute to the late Booker T. Washington.
Plan To Make Sunday Day Of Rest In Fact As Well As In Name
(By The Associated Negro Press)
Washington, D. C., Dec. 2.—The people of our group, throughout the country, will be asked to join in the nation-wide movement to make Sunday a day of rest, meditation and prayer.
Forces which led the fight in congress to make the nation dry are now preparing a legislative campaign for a blue Sunday observance movement. One of the first moves to be made will be the introduction of a bill for Sunday observance in the District of Columbia.
This will be followed by introduction of measures in the various state legislatures and in congress to prohibit Sunday baseball games, moving pictures and other theatrical performances and other sports and amusements conducted for profit. This is the program of the committee on moral and social welfare of the United Lutheran church and the National Reform association, which also will urge enactment of uniform marriage and divorce laws. Both these organizations have enlisted the services of former active workers of the Anti-Saloon League, which blazed a way for the prohibition amendment.

DR. EMMETT SCOTT TAKES INTEREST IN COLLEGE FOOTBALL
(By The Associated Negro Press.)
Washington, D. C., Dec. 2.—Washington is indebted to Dr. Emmett J. Scott,' secretary-treasurer of Howard university, for the biggest society and athletic event in its history. Seeing the possibilities of making the Howard-Lincoln football game of the same national importance as the Harvard-Yale and Army-Navy football games, Dr. Scott took up, along with his other important duties, the management of the details in connection with this game so as to put the whole event on a high plane of business efficiency. He then advertised the game from Boston to Norfolk, sending special news items out each week to the whole group of newspapers in this section. The upshot of it was that the largest group of Colored people who have ever gathered for an event of this kind were gathered in attendance at the American Baseball park, Washington, D. C., Thanksgiving Day, November 25, 1920. Notable representatives of both Howar dand Lincoln universities from all sections of the United States were present to witness the game.
TUSKEGEE GREAT HELP TO FARMERS IN SOUTHLAND
(By The Associated Negro Press.)
Tuskegee Institute, Ala., Dec. 2.—One of the most striking indications of the Negro farmer's ability to become susceptible to wholesome influence for safe farming and rural betterment was the splendid fair, under the auspices of the Macon County Colored Fair association, held at Tuskegee Institute, November 11-12.
It was the concensus of opinion of hundreds of people attending the Fair that the attractive appearance of the exhibits confirmed the gospel of combining common sense with farming methods which would in every case give best results ultimately.
The remarkable products exemplified that the Negro farmers of Macon county are learning to put brains in the soil thereby helping to solve the problems which face the farmer at this period. The educational emphasis of the fair revealed that prolonged school terms, better school houses with efficient teachers and other movements such as the Tuskegee Annual Negro Farmers' conference are vital factors in helping the rural masses of Negroes to realize the agricultural possibilities for them.
It was evident that there was a growing desire for better livestock and the growing of ample food products for the home. Devices, beautifying the homes and saving steps of the women in the homes created much comment.
Tuskegee's influence in helping the Negro to express himself through songs was again accentuated. William Dawson, a student of Tuskegee Institute, who has native ability as a musician, was given first prize for his work, which was among the musical exhibits.
This fair will be an annual event. Such features helping the rural and urban masses of Negroes to help themselves, families and communities, will be the outstanding signs of the Negro's progress in the agricultural districts of this section.

CLEAN-UP NOW ON IN WINDY CITY--NO CROOKS ALLOWED
(By The Associated Negro Press)
Chicago, Dec. 2.—Consternation prevails along the "Great Light Way," the world famous Chicago "Stroll," State street, and its intersecting thoroughfares that have been furnishing amusement "and other things" for the night life of the "Windy City," its habitual joy seekers, and the "stranger within our gates."
It all comes about through a combination eort of city, state and nation to make Chicago, "everybody's home," a spotless town. All admit that the authorities have "some job" but the manner in which the work has been carried on recently prevents anyone from saying, at this time at least, that they are not succeeding.
Crime became so widespread in Chicago that Mayor Thompson asked for the resignation of Chief of Police Garrity, and immediately appointed his secretary, Charles Fitzmorris, as chief. To the credit of former Chief Garrity be it said he performed splendid service during the riot of 1919, the Abbsinian disturbance, and another embryonic racial clash here when a Catholic priest stopped the mob that was after the life of a Colored man.
Chief Fitzmorris immediately got busy in the effort to stamp out crime. He ordered raids on all gambling resorts and announced that "political pull" would avail nothing. The chief of detectives announced that men in the various hold-ups went immediately to the gambling resorts with their loot and gambled it away, therefore all such resorts must cease to exist instanter.
Famous Cabarets Closed
Then came Attorney General Brundage, who appeared before Judge Landis and asked that a number of saloons and cabarets that have been violating the eighteenth amendment be clased as a public nuisance.
Following this move, District Attorney Cline asked federal injunctions against the opening of a number of the best known cabarets in the city, among which are Dreamland and Entertainers, two places always filled nightly with lovers of gay life, where there has been an intermingling of races in a manner unknown to gay other city in the country. In the list, also, of places closed, is a number of well-known "Loop" establishments.
Some of the "old timers" predict that the present crusade is "merely a flurry," while the authorities say they are badly mistaken. "It's going to be permanent, Chicago must be made a safe place to live for all citizens who wish to live decent, respectable lives. Crooks, thugs, gamblers and all who seek to live by their wits, men and women, will have to ply their nefarious trade elsewhere," say the authorities."

WILLIAM PICKENS DELIVERED LECTURE IN PHOENIX NOV. 30
A large audience heard William Pickens Tuesday night at the A. M. E. church where he appeared in a lecture under the auspices of the local branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. Dr. Pickens is on a lecture tour that will take him into every state in the Union' and he is speaking in the interest of the National Association For the Advancement of Colored People with headquarters in New York and branches throughout the United States. His mission is to show the colored people the great power of organization and concerted effort. The speaker drove home his arguments with force and eloquence and was repeatedly interrupted with applause.
Dr. Pickens exploded the fallacy of "race inferiority" so often applied to the black race, by proving that every single thing to which the Negro is said to be incapable of attainment, is something he is not permitted to do. He stated that the rule in this country was that no Negro be allowed to try to fill the places said to be beyond his sphere and the fact that none had ever held these positions was the only proof that had ever been produced to show the Negro's incapacity or inferiority. "Permit a man to try to do a thing before branding him as incapable," said the speaker.
Preceding the introduction of Dr. Pickens, Mrs. Clarence Lindsey favored the audience with an instrumental solo and Mrs. Frank Shirley brought down the house with one of her vocal selections. Mr. Walter McKinney president of the local branch, introduced Mr. Richard D. Simpson, first president of the local branch and a former schoolmate of Dr. Pickens who in turn introduced the speaker of the evening.
Immediately upon his arrival in the city from Los Angeles, Dr. Pickens was given an automobile ride to Mesa Chandler, Tempe, the Indian boo and other points of interest a the city. In the party were Mr. Walter McKinney, president of the association; Mrs. Lynn Ross Carter, secretary; Rev. T. J. Sanford, Attorney Walter E. Watkins, Mrs. Jessie James The party enjoyed a special dinner at Gaillard's cafe, after which Dr. Pickens was taken to the home of Dr. W C. Hackett, where rooms had beer prepared for his reception. Dr. Pickens left Wednesday morning for points south and will lecture in El Paso, Tex., on Friday evening December 5.
JACK JOHNSON GETTING
BACK IN OLD FORM
(By The Associated Negro Press)
Leavenworth, Kans., Dec. 2.—Jack Johnson, former heavyweight champion, made his first ring appearance in the United States since he fled his native country seven years ago, when he met two opponents as a feature event of a boxing show staged in the open air at the federal prison here.
It was the general opinion of news paper men and boxing critics at the ringside that Johnson is in good condition and still retains much of his cleverness and punching power. Johnson knocked out Frank Owens, a Negro, of Chicago, the last round of a six round bout, and after a few minutes' intermission took on a fresh opponent in the person of "Topeka Jack" Johnson, also a Negro, for four rounds. "Topeka Jack" was badly outboxed.

THE SOUTH AND THE BLACK MAN
Discussing the Race problem at N. Y., under the auspices of the Hampstead H. Taft said: "The South and all so be more explicit he added: "The adding insult to injury, he continued, the Southern white man." Shades of it if our best friend is in the South, from childhood we have heard to our good fortune to listen to many b question and offer solutions. None ofory solution of this great problem first learned of its existence. We be the advice and suggestion as to the from some member of our group. It may be, it is the height of folly for colored people in a matter of this kind.
We have leaders in our own race advising us of the proper course to put anything like a solution of this problem to meet the black man half way trade with a fellow when he is det. Whenever the white man makes up he to the black man and recognize chara will automatically solve itself.
In regard to Mr. Taft's statement place for our abode. We would that could be changed to a black man and his own doctrine. As it is, he is a course is theorizing. He paid a tribu dispatch. If Booker T. Washington preaching the doctrine he did in his and his teachings that we would a changed and so we we. That old and cannot be accepted by the new Booker T. Washington now would retur our hope is in the South and agrierabide under the shadow of the Alm feel disposed to go. Selah.
The Race problem at the Academy of M. Unspaces of the Hampton Association, formid: "The South and agriculture are the hot suit he added: "The South is his natural injury, he continued: "The best friend the white man." Shades of Ben Tillman and each is in the South, from whence come our God we have heard of the Race problem to listen to many brilliant men of both our solutions. None of them have ever arrived this great problem for it is now as vexas existence. We believe that when the suggestion as to the proper course of proper of our group. It matters not how less height of folly for him to assume the role a matter of this kind.
Mers in our own race sufficiently intelligent proper course to pursue. The great ban solution of this problem is the unwilling black man half way. Ever notice how now when he is determined to get the white man makes up his mind to accord full and recognize character instead of color, solve itself.
Mr. Taft's statement about the South code. We would that by some scientific to a black man and then we could ask. As it is, he is a member of the opposing. He paid a tribute to Booker T. W. Booker T. Washington were alive today. Strive he did in his lifetime, we would not say that we would a Tillman or a Vardar have we. That old Booker T. Washington accepted by the new Negro of the new dugton now would retard our progress. If the South and agriculture, it may remake shadow of the Almighty," and that me go. Selah.
Discussing the Race problem at the Academy of Music in Brooklyn, N. Y., under the auspices of the Hampton Association, former president William H. Taft said: "The South and agriculture are the hope of the Negro." To be more explicit he added: "The South is his natural habitant." Then, adding insult to injury, he continued, "The best friend the Negro can have is the Southern white man." Shades of Ben Tillman and echoes of Vardaman. If our best friend is in the South, from whence come our enemies?
From childhood we have heard of the Race problem and it has been our good fortune to listen to many brilliant men of both races discuss the question and offer solutions. None of them have ever arrived at a satisfactory solution of this great problem for it is now as vexatious as when we first learned of its existence. We believe that when the problem is solved, the advice and suggestion as to the proper course of procedure will come from some member of our group. It matters not how learned a Caucasian may be, it is the height of folly for him to assume the role of adviser to the colored people in a matter of this kind.
We have leaders in our own race sufficiently intelligent and capable of advising us of the proper course to pursue. The great barrier that prevents anything like a solution of this problem is the unwillingness of the white man to meet the black man half way. Ever notice how difficult it is to trade with a fellow when he is determined to get the best of the deal? Whenever the white man makes up his mind to accord full and exact justice to the black man and recognize character instead of color, the Race problem will automatically solve itself.
In regard to Mr. Taft's statement about the South being the proper place for our abode. We would that by some scientific process Mr Taft could be changed to a black man and then we could ask him to practice his own doctrine. As it is, he is a member of the opposite race and of course is the theorizing. He paid a tribute to Booker T. Washington, says the dispatch. If Booker T. Washington were alive today and went about preaching the doctrine he did in his lifetime, we would no more accept him and his teachings that we would a Tillman or a Vardaman. Times have changed and so have we. That old Booker T. Washington stuff will not and cannot be accepted by the new Negro of the new day. Such men as Booker T. Washington now would retard our progress. If as Mr. Taft says, our hope is in the South and agriculture, it may remain; but we shall "abide under the shadow of the Almighty," and that means anywhere we feel disposed to go. Selah.

A plendid program was rendered. Prof. W. J. Edwards, principal of nowhill Institute, was the speaker of the evening. He urged the Negroes to cultivate habits of thrift, industry and economy. For the first time in the history of this city a banquet was held in the beautiful banquet hall at a Mosque by Negroes. Rev. M.

Dawson, Ga., Nov. 25.—The most prominent Negro barber in this section of Georgia died here last Wednesday morning. He has been regarded an intelligent leader of his people here a long number of years and was highly respected by the whites. His funeral was largely attended by all classes of the citizens of Dawson.
THE PHOENIX TRIBUNE-ALWAYS IMPROVING
THE EVERLASTING STAIN
A dying and desperate political party clutches at the straw of race hatred as its last gasping hope. Bourbon democracy is true to its ruling passion strong in death. The crafty politician psychologized the public and felt assured that the cry of Negro blood would throw it into a spasm of delirium. The infamy of that taint was deemed to be more detestable than the murderous brand upon the forehead of Cain. It was thought to outweigh in public estimation the entire catalog of intellectual, moral and political virtues. To charge an American with theft, arson or murder would be a mild accusation as compared to this. The time was set with dramatic cleverness. The iron must be struck while it is hot. There must be no margin of time to refute the charge or to reconcile public sentiment. The cry of Wolf! Wolf! on first alarm, stampedes the crowd, even if there is no wolf. But the bungling dastard did not know his game. Righteous strategy triumphed over dastardly cunning. With amazing delitery of action the charge was refuted as soon as made. The dastardly deed redounds to the shame of the doer. Never before and, let us hope, never again will any political party sink to such a low level of infamy. Blessed are ye when men shall revile you, and say all manner of evil against you fasely. With righteous indignation against the methods of the character assassin, the American people with all but one voice sweeps Harding into the White House, assured that his purity of blood is as unblemished as his spotlessness of character.
The country is safe, the Republican paty is victorious, and the honor of the white race is secure.
But what of the Negro? Is he supposed to be endowed with ordinary human pride and sensibilities? To him the defense is, if anything, more than insulting than the attack. Why should it be considered more heinous than any crime to possess a trace of Negro blood? I doubt whether any race since human civilization began has ever been placed under such a ban of opprobrium. It is the boast of statesmen and men of renown that they carry in their veins a blend of Indian blood. But one drop that flows from African veins vitiates ten times its own volume of any other strain. Against this assumption the Negro rebels with all the ardor and indignation of which his nature is capable. Can the Negro be expected to share in the derogation of his own blood? Is his color his own choosing? He is wholly guiltless of the stain for which he is stigmatized. Pigmentation affects the color of the body, but not the quality of the soul. Were Dumas and Douglass and Dunbar accursed of God and unworthy of honor and esteem because of their sable hue? Shall we be expected to give higher need of glory to Plato and Shakespeare, and Jesus because their skin was white. Perish the thought! Such self-abasement would compromise the Negroa's self-respect and hypothecate all hope. The Ten Commandments assure us that the Father of All Races and Breeds of Man visits the sins of the fathers upon the children to the third and fourth generations of them that hate, but shows mercy, unto thousands of them that love. The constitution of the United States forbids the attain of blood, so that the political and legal sins of the fathers may not be visited upon the children. Must the Negro of all men stand doomed to eternal infamy from the foundation of the world to the end of time?
There can be no satisfactory solution of the race problem while this notion prevails. In the face of its inexorable exactions our little palliatives and programs are as ineffectual as the application of emollients to the hopeless consumptive. From an inherent self-respect and in vindication of the essential claims of humanity, the Negro must insist that his blood is as good as any which courses through human veins.
(Signed) KELLY MILLER, Howard University, Washington, D.C.
NO COLORED NEED APPLY
(By The Associated Negro Press.)
Washington, D. C., Dec. 2. — Although there is still plenty of work to be done in connection with the taking of the 1920 census, and, as has been stated, Colored clerks in the Census Bureau have proved most proficient in the operation of the machines used in the Census Bureau, word has come that, due to lack of funds, nearly every one of the Colored clerks in this bureau has been notified "with no thought of prejudice whatever" that he is no longer needed. This notification somes within a short period of the recent election.
There is a class of the race—the more ignorant class—that must receive some real attention from the better class of the race.
WASHINGTON, D. C., CAN NO LONGER BOAST OF LARGEST COLORED POPULATION IN U.S.
(By The Associated Negro Press.)
Washington, D. C., Dec. 2.—Population of the District of Columbia is composed of 326,854 white persons, 109,976 Colored and 741 other races, including Chinese, Japanese and Indians, the census bureau announced recently. The total of these figures makes up the 1920 population for the District, which is 437,571.
The increase in the colored population has been greater from 1910 to 1920 than from 1900 to 1910 and was at a higher rate, the increase being 15,530 or 16.0 per cent from 1910 to 1920, as against 7,744 or 8.9 per cent from 1900 to 1910.
While the percentage ratio of Colored residents of the District shows a decrease of 3.4 per cent as compared with 1910, the numerical increase in the colored population shows a decided gain, commensurate with the total gain in population. In 1910 there were 94,446 colored persons resident in the District of Columbia.
Washington for some time has been the leading city in the matter of colored population. It is significant to note that the recent migratory movement has caused this leadership to be located in one of the more northern cities of the United States. Chicago, it is understood, claims this distinction. This shift is indicative of the desire of the new Negro for larger freedom and opportunity.
BIRTH RATE OF WHITES
IN NORTH CAROLINA
LESS THAN BLACKS
(By The Associated Negro Press)
Raleigh, N. C., Dec. 2.—For the first time in the history of vital statistics in North Carolina the Negro birth rate in the state for the first six months of this year showed a larger percentage than did the white birth rate. From January to the end of June, 1920, there were 13,519 Negro children born in the state, or 33.8 per cent per thousand population. During the same period the whites more than doubled the number of Negro births, but the percentage per thousand population is only 31.2 as compared with the 33.8 per cent of the Negro births.
There is no beauty that can outlive disgrace.

Does Advertising Pay
Following is an excerpt from a letter received this week from one of our advertiser's. It shows the pulling power of the Tribune Want Ad. The letter follows:
Superior, Ariz., Nov. 29, 1920.
Editor The Tribune:
I wish to thank you for the quick returns I received from my ad in your paper. I received a reply from the second issue and succeeded in closing the sale for my property from the fifth. Does it pay to advertise? I say it does in the Tribune.
Thanking you for the favor and trusting the Tribune will rank first in the year to come, I remain,

'Tis said that never before in the history of Phoenix have such gorgeous costumes been seen in a dance hall as those worn by the ladies at this Thanksgiving ball.

PAPER
Phoenix, Arizona
Knoxville, Tenn., in May of this year, where he served on many important committees. Members of the A. M. E. Zion church and the citizens of Prescott in general, feel a deep loss in the departure of Rev. Yearwood, still we wish him success in his new field. His successor will arrive in Prescott within the next few days, as will our beloved bishop, L. W. Kyles. Rev. Harvey will have charge of the services until the new pastor arrives. Sunday services will be conducted as usual and all are invited to attend.
Mr. and Mrs. Paris Talron entertained with a week-end party, complimentary to their daughters, Miss Helen Vance, teacher in the public schools at Mesa, and Miss Naomi Tabron, who is a student in the Northern Arizona Normal at Flagstaff. Their out-of-town guests were: Miss Beulah Morrow of Mesa, Mr. Purdy of Phoenix and Mr. Shepard of Palo Alto, Cal. The entertainment consisted of a Thanksgiving dinner served on a beautifully decorated table at which places were marked for twelve. The dinner was followed by a theatre party and all had enjoyable time.
One of the most fashionable affairs of the season was the Spanish luncheon given by Mrs. Thomas E. Hines at her beautiful home in honor of Miss Helen Vance, Miss Beulah Morrow and Miss Naomi Tabron. Covers were laid for twenty-three and a delightful four course Spanish luncheon was served, after which a short program was rendered and enjoyed by all.
Mr. Charles Myers, popular chef on the Santa Fe, was a Sunday visitor in Prescott.
Mr. Fred Jones returned last week from Lawrence, Kans., where he spent several weeks visiting his parents.
Mr. Clarence Maxwell and Mr. Seils were hosts Friday afternoon and later took their guests for an automobile drive over the new highway to Jerome. The party returned late Friday evening and were served with a six course dinner at the Lincoln cafe. Mrs. Paris Tabron chaperoned the young folks and later took them to the movies. The Belle orchestra played for the Thanksgiving dance (white) at Kirkland. This orchestra is quite popular throughout the state and their services are in great demand. Mr. and Mrs. T. H. Anderson were hosts at a seven course dinner on Thanksgiving day. Covers were laid for Mr. and Mrs. Frank Young and Mrs. T. D. Green.
Little Marie Anderson celebrated her eighth birthday Sunday and a party of sixteen of her little friends were present. Dainty refreshments were served after which the little tots indulged in all kinds of amusement and games. Little Marie was the recipient of many useful presents and on departing the children all wished her many happy birthdays.
Mrs. Thomas E. Hines, Miss Helen Vance, Miss Naomi Tabron, Miss Beulah Morrow and Mr. Sheppard were visitors to Fort Whipple Friday. Mr. Moses Sheppard, formerly a patient at Fort Whipple barracks, but now a resident of Los Angeles, Cal., was a visitor in Prescott on Thanksgiving day. The boys at the Fort wonder why Mose visits Prescott so often. Thanksgiving day at Fort Whipple was some day for the boys. For those who doubt that the boys had a great time, here's the menu: Grapefruit cocktail, consomme, saltines, roast turkey, walnut dressing, giblet gravy, jellied cranberries, candied sweet potatoes, buttered asparagus tips, mixed pickles, celery, pumpkin and mince pies, oranges, apples, bananas, grapes, assorted nuts, cluster raisins.
Wasn't it some meal? John Ross says it was, and the way Coleman tore into it was a shame. The only complaint was registered by a "joker" whose names is Mayes. Poor Maxwell and "Jim the Vamp" were left in the shade. George Edwards, the "big bird," made it to "in-law" and a grunt for satisfaction.

Rosser Distinguishes Himself
In the football game at Eastlake Park on Thansgiving day between the Phoenix Union High school team and the boys from the U. S. Indian school, Henry Rosser, the colored boy on the High School team, won signal honors and aided materially in winning the game for his team with a score of 33 to 7. On several occasions Henry has distinguished himself as a great player and Coach Robinson regards him as one of his star players.
Rev. W. J. Conquest, pastor of the A. M. E. Zion church at Ray, was a business visitor 1 the city a few days this week.
On Thanksgiving day the home of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Shirley, 16 North 9th street, was the scene of a delightful dinner party and among the invited guests were Mr. and Mrs. Allen Smith, Mr. and Mrs. W. Noble. The dining room was tastefully decorated for the occasion and a five course repast was served. After dinner the guests were entertained with a few choice selections on the piano by the hostess.
