VOL. V.—NO. 46 GEORGIA'S OLDEST COLORED CITIZEN IS DEAD, AGE 125 YEARS (Special To The Tribune) ATLANTA, Ga., Feb. 9—Mrs. Eveline Bolton of Oglethorpe county is degd, at the age of 125 years, 9 months and 11 days—which constitutes a record in longevity for the state of Georgia, and is believed to set a similar record for the entire United States. Mrs. Bolton died on December 24, 1922, and the delay in telling the story of her long life is due to the fact that the date of her birth and other facts have been very carefully investigated by Justice H. H. Glenn, registrar of births and death for the militia district in which she died. On Friday of last week the story was given out by Dr. Davis, head of the vital statistics department of the state board of health. Dr. Davis is satisfied that the facts in the case will now bear the closest scrutiny. In the report of his investigation, Justice Glenn says "She was the age stated on the death record, or very nearly so." He found that her third child is still living, at the age of 98. She was the mother of sixteen children, had 48 grandchildren and 191 great grandchildren. As corroborative evidence of her age, Justice Glenn reports that the date of her birth, March 13, 1797, has been handed down among "her folks" from child to child, for more than a hundred years. She is recorded as a member in good standing of the Mount Zion church for the last 115 years. During slavery days, Mrs. Bolton was the property of Noah Bolton, and the information on the death record was furnished by a descendant of Mr. Bolton, N. H. Bolton. The first edifice of the church to which she belonged for so long was burned to the ground eighty years ago, and it is known that she had been a member for thirty-five years preceding that fire. The land on which that church stood reverted to the grandfather of Justice Glenn after the building was thus destroyed. From the date of her birth, 1797, it will be seen that, despite her long life, she lived as a slave longer than she lived after the emancipation. TUCSON The close of the first semester of school, which was Monday, January 29th, brought joy to the P. L. Dunbar school's pupils. The principal, Prof. C. C. Simmons, and his assistants, Mrs. A. B. Nelson and Mrs. Creed Taylor, are well pleased with the work of their pupils. Miss Elvira Kennedy, formerly of New Orleans, but for the past three years attending school in California, is in the city, taking a long needed rest. The young and old are glad to have Miss Kennedy with us, and hope that she will get the rest which she is seeking. Miss Kennedy is residing with her aunt and uncle, Mr. and Mrs. Chris Williams, of 248 W. 3rd St. Mrs. Julia Bell Landee, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. P. L. Watson, of 617 N. 10th Ave., is the proud mother of a three weeks old baby boy. Mr. H. Banks, old resident and deacon of the Mt.

Cotton, of 467 W. 5th St., has been ill for two months, but is up and able to be out once more. Rev. C. A. Glmore, of Phoenix, preached a stirring sermon last Wednesday. He went from here to Douglas. The assistant superintendent of the city public schools, on hearing the pupils of the Dunbar school, said to the principal who conducts the singing, aided by Mrs. Nelson, that the pupils of the above school are the best; singers in the school system. The Old and Modern Folks Concert given Friday night, February 2, by the Mt. Calvary Baptist Church Missionary Society, was a brilliant success. The exercises began by singing an opening chorus by the older people, followed by a series of short dialogues and monologues of 1880. The program was then continued with two short plays, "Help Wanted" and "Acts of 1823." The latter was the Phoenix Tribune key 19 Happiness ARIZONA'S LEADING NEWSPAPER In 10,000 Homes KU KLUX KLAN NOW HAS FOOTHOLD IN FRANCE SAY REPORTS KU KLUX KLAN NOW HAS FOOTHOLD IN FRANCE SAY REPORTS PARIS, Feb. 8—A branch of the Ku Klux Klan has been organized here, and its first official act was to get American residents here to sign a petition to the French government asking the deportation of all colored Americans now living in France. The Klan, it is said, will seek to effect this through the co-operation of the American embassy. The anti-Negro feeling of white Americans here is something fierce, but the flames of hatfed have been fanned recently by the exploits of two colored men who soundly thrashed and deeply humiliated three American whites when the latter attempted to introduce jim crow laws unofficially and independent of the French government and people. Influential American whites had the colored men locked up on a charge of assault, but they were released when the colored men showed war service papers. The American whites thereupon resorted to spreading the most vicious and unfounded lies against the colored men. They alleged that one of the colored men, Dick Bullard, was outlawed from the French aviation service during the war for cowardice in refusing to attack German planes. Bullard is credited with having accounted for seven German planes, two blimps and captured two planes and their crews before he was himself disabled. In the scrap with the American whites, he accounted for two by the K. O. route and without so much as disarranging his faultless attire. hit of the evening. Mr. Percy Watts and Miss Marguerite Watson starred, and they lifted themselves above the ranks of amateurs. All numbers deserve special mention. Mrs. Sarah White as Jane (wife) and Mrs. Missouri Nobles as Jim (husband) of 1880 acts, were a scream, and they kept the audience in an uproar throughout the above acts. All characters were excellent, and much credit it is due Mrs. Sarah White, director, and her assistant, Miss Sadie Osborne, for the perfect performance. Miss Lillian Poltin, of Jamaica, is in the city, and is hoping to make it her home. Miss Poltin is residing with Mr. and Mrs. Frank Hall, of 430 E. 7th St. Sunday, February 11th, at 3:00 P.

Calvary Baptist church was postponed last Thursday night, owing to the concert given by the Missionary Society of the church. Rev. P. B. Cornellus, pastor of the Mt. Calvary Baptist church, preached a stirring sermon at the 11 o'clock service Sunday morning. "The coming Lamb bearing the sins of the world" was his text. The total collection for the day was $50.50. M. C. D. Cornellus, who has been on the sick list for two weeks, owing to a minor operation, is up and able to be out about his business once more. Mr. Cornellus is agent in this city for the Western Mutual Benefit Association of Phoenix, Arizona.

OF NEW JERSEY DECLARES WAR ON NOTORIOUS KU KLUX GOV. OF NEW JERSEY DECLARES WAR ON NOTORIOUS KU KLUX (Preston News Service) PERSTON AMBROY, N. J., Feb. 9—Gov. Silzer, in an address to the local council of the Knights of Columbus, declared war on the Ku Klux Klan last Wednesday night. "Such a dispicable organization as the Ku Klux Klan should not exist," he said. "There is nothing worse than this sudden revival of bigotry. It is radical antagonism which is being roused against Catholics, Jews and Negroes. "What is the cause of it? Commercial bigotry. There is no need for immediate legislative action. Publicity will wipe out this hideous monster: If not, we will have to pass a law compelling these people to show their faces. If this bigotry does not end in the near future, I shall be first to participate in this stand." Mrs. Olive Cotton entertained last week with a turkey dinner, complimentary to a few friends. Covers were laid for Mr. and Mrs. John Jordan, Miss Angeline Miller, Mrs. Alex Hogan and Mr. Charlie Halsten. The home of Mr. and Mrs. Tullis burned to ashes last Monday. Nothing was saved. Ladies of the Yuma Society Club gave a big chicken dinner and dance at the Eagle hall Thursday night to raise money to help swell their fund. Music for the occasion was furnished by Mrs. E. E.

T. Snowden, the Somerton teacher, was in the city Thursday evening to the entertainment. Mrs. E. R. Caton has been on the sick list, but is now able to be up. Mrs. Charlie Holsten of Tucson is here visiting her husband, and will remain for an indefinite stay. Mr. Ed. Lockett left Thursday night for Phoenix. We hope he will soon return, as he is a popular young man in Yuma. Mr. Dan Davis, Mr. Romero and Walter Rainwater have gone on a rabbit hunt. It is hard to tell whether they will catch rabbits or catch cold, as we have had a sudden change in the weather the last few days. Dennie Jones, President; Miss Charlie C. Cotton, Secretary.

"Because love in Tucson is only an eating cancer on a poor boy's pocket book." *** Say, Jim, what kind of a boy has the hardest time getting a sweet-heart? I don't know, Johnny. but judging from Rufus, a real short fellow. Why use Rufus for an example of the short fellows? Because they tell me he has been in this world nineteen years, and has not grown large enough to get one yet. The slender girls do not like fat boys. No, but fat boys and girls like each other.

If Miss Sadie Walton, of Phoenix, marries another fellow, the undertaker will have a job in Tucson. FLU RAGING IN SOUTH ATLANTA, Ga., Feb. 9—It is said there are approximately 3,000 cases of the "Flu" in this city. The disease has taken a toll of more than 350 persons in the past three weeks. It is claimed that the whites are dying from the effects of the "Flu" in larger numbers proportionately than Ne EFFORT BEING MADE TO KEEP NEGROES IN THE SOUTHLAND EFFORT BEING MADE TO KEEP NEGROES IN THE SOUTHLAND (Preston News Service) MEMPHIS, Tenn., Feb. 9—At a meeting of the Memphis Cotton Exchange here last Thursday afternoon, a resolution was passed urging the Tennessee delegation in Congress to seek modification of the immigration laws to permit entrance into the United States of desirable foreign labor. It is said that this action was taken because of the pronounced labor shortage in southern states. The members of the exchange are endeavoring to devise ways and means to cultivate this year's cotton crop. It is claimed that northern and eastern manufacturers are making a tremendous inroad on the supply of southern farm labor by offering more attractive wages and spreading propaganda among Negroes to the effect that living conditions are better in the north, pointing out supposed educational advantages, franchise, and freedom from mob violence. This propaganda is causing millions of Negroes in all parts of the south to migrate to the north. One speaker said, "It is true that Negroes are going north by the wholesale just now. I think their fear of the Ku Klux Klan has much to do with it. Most of them do not know that this disgraceful organization exists in the North as well as in the South. Then the frequent lynchings strikes terror to the hearts of the colored people, making them seek a fancied refuge in northern sections. I believe if the manufacturers and leading citizens of the south take a more active step to convince the Negro that the southern white man is his best friend after all, they will soon ignore the call of the northern manufacturer. We must do something to stop this disgraceful curse of lynching." BLACKS ARE LEAVING STATE OF OKLAHOMA BY THE HUNDREDS OKMULGEE, Okla., Feb. 9—Fifteen Negro families, numbering more than 100 persons, left Okmulgee County recently with all their worldly belongings, for a Negro farm colony established near the city of San Luis Potosi, Mexico. "We are seeking greater opportunities for racial and social development," announced J. B. Keys, local Negro leader. The group, according to Keys, is the first of many which are to be sent to Mexico under the auspices of the International Community Welfare League which has secured rights to 310,000 acres of agricultural lands in Mexico for Negro colonists from the United States.

KANSAS SENATOR INTRODUCES A NOVEL BILL ON MARRIAGE KANSAS SENATOR INTRODUCES A NOVEL BILL ON MARRIAGE (Preston News Service) WASHINGTON, D. C., Feb. 9. A new national marriage and divorce law, with exacting resolution proposing a constitutional amendment was introduced in the senate last Thursday by Senator Capper, of Kansas. The bill seeks to make marriage and divorce more difficult. This would prevent many hasty and foolish marriages as well as lessen the number of divorce cases throughout the country. Among some of the things to bar hasty marriages the bill proposes—application for licenses must be made two weeks before issuance of the license; both parties must also submit health certificates. The bill would prevent the marriage of feeble minded; of whites and blacks; of Mongolians and whites; and those afflicted with communicable diseases. PRESCOTT The recent cold wave over the state resulted in a heavy snow storm in the northern part. Flagstaff had approximately a foot and a half of snow, while Prescott had about 15 inches. During this blizzard, Prescott and vicinity enjoyed some of the coldest days witnessed for years. All voters are proud of the wonderful way Judge Ross, judge of the justice court, is handling things, and much praise is heard everywhere. He has handled over 40 cases, and all were satisfactory. Judge Ross, like his father, has a wonderful personality. Mrs. L. A. McCarty is reported about the same, after a few good days. The new doctor giving the electric treatments will be given a trial, and it is hoped that she will get real benefits from the treatment. Mrs. McCarty has held up well. She has suffered dreadfully, but has thrown off the idea, and when she is able, gets up and stirs around. She has wonderful courage through it all. A car of several Spanish musicians and Mr. Robert Jourdan, the violinist, were enroute to Jerome to play for a dance. The chauffeur was driving at the rate of 40 miles an hour over the highway when the car turned over in the canyon near the mine, a mile or more from Jerome. It is strange that none of the fellows received serious wounds. They were fortunate to escape at one of the most dangerous parts of the highway. Mrs. W. D. Alexander has been quite ill, but is a little better. Mother Massey has been quite ill since her return from the East. She contracted a severe cold and had a touch of La Gripe with it. Rev. Simpson has the Gospel Fire at the People's A. M. E. Z. Church. Go out and get warmed. Rev. Clark, the presiding elder, will hold his quarterly conference at this church Sunday, the 11th. Don't forget. Come out and make the meeting a success. Rev. Clark is always filled with good things. Don't miss the connecting link of his sermons. The Sunday school and regular services at the People's A. M. E. Zion church are growing. Send your children there to Sunday school, if they are not going to any other church. Mr. B. C. Jones is superintendent, and has a live number of teachers and co-workers, and the Sunday school is wonderful. Don't forget the hour—10:00 A. M. Mr. D. J. Todd, President of the U. N. I. A., tendered his resignation as president at the last meeting, and Mr. Jacob Tull was elected to serve the unexpired term. Mr. Todd and his dear little wife have been faithful in going to the U. N. I. A., through rain and snow of the summer and winter months, and the U. N. I. A. has lost a wonderful asset. A lot of us crow and make a great noise, but we are not faithful when the test comes, but not so with them. They did anything that came to hand for the uplift of that organization. Madam Hilbert has been quite sick, suffering with a severe cold and attack of Lagripe. She was confined to her bed a few days of last week, but is now up and about her duty, though not fully recovered. We hope she will soon have perfect health. Miss Pamalee McCutchen was FAMOUS COLORED ARTIST TO APPEAR AT ELKS THEATRE FAMOUS COLORED ARTIST TO APPEAR AT ELKS THEATRE Commencing Monday evening, Chas. S. Gilpin, America's foremost dramatic artist, will appear at the Elks Theatre in "Emperor Jones." Mr. Gilpin comes highly recommended. No stage offering of today has received the same measure of praise as Emperor Jones. Gilpin is one of the most amazing Negro actors in the world. The leading critics in America concede him a place of high honor. Heywood Brown, in the New York Tribune, said of him, "There can be no question that in the 'Emperor Jones' Gilpin is great. It is a performance of heroic stature. It is so good that the fact that it is enormously skillful seems only incidental." Alexander Woolcott in the New York Times said: "It is an extraordinarily striking and dramatic story. It reinforces the impression that for strength and originality he has no rival among the American writers." Kenneth MacGowan in New York Globe said: "The moment when Chas. Glipin raises his naked body against the moonlight sky beyond the edge of the jungle and prays, is such a cry of the primitive being as I have 'never seen in a theatre. The Emperor Jones' is the most curious and perhaps the most interesting play and production to be seen in New York." With such high recommendations as these, the public will be given an opportunity to see this wonderful genius in Phoenix. Every race man and woman should avail themselves of the opportunity to see this wonderful play at some time during its two nights in Phoenix. Here From Mississippi Mr. R. F. Russell, of Carey, Miss., is a recent arrival and is visiting at the home of his aunt, Mrs. Bullock Brown, 109 West Jackson street. He will remain for an indefinite stay. Basket Ball Game Friday, Feb. 2, the Colored Division of the Phoenix Union High School was entertained with an exciting game of basket ball, played by the promising alumni five, and the strong high school team. The game was full of thrills from beginning to end. The first score was made when Andrew Wallace, the trusty forward made a long throw from the center of the field. Although Andrew and Floyd Johnson were the stars of the game, others played well and should be given credit for their wonderful teamwork. The lineup was as follows: Alumni High School James ..... R. F. ..... Johnson George ..... L. F. ..... Wallace A. Smith ..... C. ..... Johnson& Fortune Crump ..... R. G. Fortune & Rumford C. Smith ..... L. G. ..... Smith & Lewis Sub..... Willie Roberts called to Phoenix a few days ago to the bedside of her mother. She has been expected to return, but we have not heard how her mother is. We hope however, that she is better, and that Miss McCutchen will return soon. Mr. Luderman Mayse and Brother, Mr. Andrew Mayse, of Alabama were pleasant visitors at the Hines home last week. Their visit was greatly enjoyed, as Mother Ramsey and daughter are from their home state. Mrs Alex T. White and little son, Clinton, will make a trip to Oklahoma to visit with relatives and friends, and will return in the summer. The Paris Beauty shop has been moved in the rear of the building, and a shoe department will be opened in the space now occupied by it. Mr. and Mrs. Wesley Adams, prominent residents of Oklahoma, are in the city, the guests of Mrs. Paul Conner. It is not stated whether they will remain permanently. The young men of the Georgia Minstrels were perfectly lovely to the young men at Fort Whipple. They sang in the different wards, and entertained the very sick patients. When they went into Ward 16, all of the patients were immediately healed except two or three. Mr. Banks, of Jerome, one of the miners of the United Verde Extension mine, was a pleasant caller in the Hines office last week, making real estate transactions. He returned to Jerome Wednesday, because of the slippery roads Tuesday. A STRONG CHARACTER Race prejudice is bound to give way before the influence of character, education and wealth. These are necessary to the growth of our nation. Without wealth there is little leisure, without state power can be no thought, and without thought there can be no progress.—Booker T. Washington. 5 Cents a Copy; $2.50 a Year DEMPSEY AND WILLS MATCH SOON TO BE A REALITY, AVERS (Preston News Service) NEW YORK CITY, Feb. 9—The meal ticket of the Jacks is getting shorter day by day in every way. This is evidently apparent as Jack Kearns laments the fact that Gibbons, Burns, Willis, and scores of other fighters are almost constantly being matched, while poor Jack Dempsey is restricted on all quarters by the dogmatic boxing commission. When a man sings the "blues" in this fashion things must be getting desperate. Kearns is alleged to have said in one of his melancholy fits the other day that he had a notion to have his poor Jack Dempsey take on all the heavy weight aspirants in one night, including Wills. Of course, nobody took this wall seriously for Dempsey would not find a Carpentier in the whole lot, including Harry Greb of Pittsburgh. Tex Rickard, the ingenious promoter, says that a bout with Wills is certain. He wants three bouts, however, as he wants to make the affair big enough to insure all parties concerned of being benefitted by the effort. He says that a bout between Wills and Dempsey is too big for indoors. They must fight in the open. So at last it looks as though Dempsey and his wily manager, Jack Kearns, are in earnest about a fight. The whole reason for it is that their meal ticket is growing shorter. They need money. The need of money will make men do many things they hitherto would not have thought of doing. In some quarters it is claimed that Wills is liable to beat Dempsey and then what a disgrace will be placed upon this country by having the championship belt worn by a Negro. They claim that decent Negroes as well as white people do not care for a Negro to be champion. The unfortunate conduct of Jack Johnson while champion made the well-thinking Negroes of the country disgusted, as it caused so much unpleasantness between the races. What will happen if Wills should become champion? Charles McKee, of Pittsburgh, commenting on Negro champions, said, "What could anybody expect of a champion prize fighter. They take the worst alley rat among Negroes and train him for a fighter. If he becomes prominent in the game he is expected by both races to transform from an alley rat to a Sunday school boy. This can't be done. The sudden advance to power caused by the acquisition of big money and attention simply accentuates his "alley rat" inclinations and desires. While on the other hand, the white prize fighter, who also comes from the alley gang, can do almost anything, except commit murder, and he goes about without being regarded as a disgrace to his race. I am convinced that Harry Wills is a different type of man than Jack Johnson. My observations of him make me believe that he is level-headed. He is retiring, does not seek the things sought by the alley gang. He does not appear to be a man honors would turn a fool. He is a clever fighter, and will make a good match for Dempsey. He can stand punishment and may defeat Dempsey. If he should become champion, I am satisfied that the Negroes need not fear a repetition of Jack Johnson's conduct." CHEWING GUM KING Did you know that "Tolerance," a white newspaper published in Chicago, charges William Wrigley, head of the Chewing Gum Corporation, with being a member of the Ku Klux Klan? Chew Wrigley's and see if it tastes the same since hearing this.

He takes the position that the cure of many diseases lies wholly within ourselves. That we are as well as we think we are, and that we can make ourselves practically healthy by concentrating our minds upon ourselves and persistently insisting that we are well. If we think too much of our ailments we are sure to aggravate them, and we all know that the work of the physician is of little avail unless we have faith in the doctor and his treatment. Every man and woman have had the experience of auto-suggestion to a certain extent, and that too without being conscious of It. Even a change of atmosphere or environment has worked wonderful changes in those who have believed themselves to be hopeless invalids. Even the child, who knows nothing of the theory of Dr. Coue, has experienced remarkable cures at the very thought of play. He may be suffering with a terrible headache, sick at the stomach, have pain in some parts of the body, have a listless and drowsy feeling and a general disinclination to take interest in anything. The fond parents believe there is some physical debility and called a physician who prescribes for the patient and orders him put to bed. Now bed is not a desirable place for a boy or girl, and unless they are really seriously ill they cannot remain there long. Soon, however, some playmate comes in and the child forgets his troubles and desires to get up. His mother permits him to do so, and before she is aware of it he is out of doors playing with other children, totally unminfuly of his illness. The man who worked hard all day and comes home sick and tired feels that he is ill; but when some of the neighbors come in to talk and sympathize with him he forgets his illness and finds that he is well enough to join in their pleasantries. Many a man and woman have an idea that something is the trouble with them, and learn that it was nothing but a change of surroundings, a little excitement, some form of entertainment, either at home or some other place, to awaken their drooping spirits, a condition which they mistook for disease. One may be suffering with headache, rheumatic pains and forget them all in a few minutes when surrounded with lively companions or the stimulating effects of excitement. A really sick man will forget his troubles when at work upon something that takes his attention off from himself, and finds that he has banished the illness in some way he cannot account for. You generally forget your troubles and delight in the fact that you are better than you thought you were, and really there was not much if anything the trouble with you. Now, as Dr. Coue suggests, put your troubles out of your mind. If you feel indisposed say to yourself: "There is nothing the matter of a serious nature, I will throw it off and forget it," and nine times out of ten you will be surprised how mental suggestion has helped you. Do not give up to every little ache or pain, every little indisposition, say: "I am well," and you will find that you are well and able to attend to business. Fight your physical battles with the same spirit and determination as you fight an enemy who has injured you and you will have little trouble from what are really imaginary ills. People as a rule do not want to admit that they are but slightly indisposed, but try it and be convinced. PLAN TO MOVE COTTON MILLS SOUTH Providence, R. L., Jan. 19.—There is a general movement underway to take the New England cotton mill interest to the southern states. At present the plan is confined to an extension of the branches in the south of mills that have their principal plants in this section, but there are indications that many new manufacturing units may be added in southern cotton centers, financed by New England capital. It is said that this will save the cost of transportation of raw cotton to this section and then the finished product back south. Advantages in hours of work allowed by law, wage scales and tax rates and exemptions are given as the principal causes for the movement which has made itself manifest for the past two or three years. The Appleton Mills, of Lowell, Mass., and the Jenckes Spinning company of Pawtucket, R. L., have already announced the transfer of their plants to the southern states. GOVERNOR STAYS EXECUTION Richmond, Va., Jan. 19.—Gov.

Huachuca. While there, he delivered a sermon to the soldiers and was quite royally entertained. Dr. Gilmore says that he regrets the fact that the U. S. Government has made no provision for separate buildings for dances and religious services. He asserts that on a Saturday night, perhaps, a dance is held in the building and on Sunday morning religious services are conducted in the same edifice. Dr. Gilmore thinks this should be brought to the attention of those in authority so that a change may be effected.

MURDER CHARGE CAUSES GIRL TO FAINT, AVERS NEW ORLEANS, La., Feb. 9—An argument over his relations with another woman is said to have led to the fatal stabbing last week of Noah Matthews by Miss Estelle Williams, pretty mulatto.

Told that she would be charged with murder, she fainted. (Preston News Service) GADSDEN, Ala., Feb. 2—Following an alleged false arrest and detention in jail for two days, Edward Jones, aged 17 years, has brought suit against the City of Gadsden for $2,000.

He asks $1,000 a day to stay in the Gadsden jail, especially when the prisoner is innocent. Jones was arrested on a charge of shooting craps, but later was released.

Do not use more letters in the same word than there are in the words, "Phoenix Tribune, Arizona's Leading Newspaper"—for example: the word "Tenet" would not be counted, as it contains two "T's," while there is only one "T" in "Phoenix Tribune, Arizona's Leading Newspaper." Only English words found in the dictionary will be counted. Do not use obsolete and foreign words. (English dialect words will be considered as foreign.) Do not use hyphenated words.

Office 25 North 11th Street PHONE 8881 Phoenix ::: Arizona Homes Furnished Complete Watts, California By Mrs. M. W. Mack Mr. and Mrs. William Banks, of Nogales, Ariz., are visiting his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Robert Banks, of 520 Myrtle Ave. Mr. and Mrs. Banks bought their lovely home on the corner of Myrtle and Rose street a few weeks ago, having moved from Los Angeles, where Sgt. Banks was distributing clerk in the Los Angeles Post Office for four years. They are now enjoying the quiet suburban home life, and are glad to get away from the noise of the big city. Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Smith were pleasant callers at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Mack last Sunday week. It had been twelve years since these old friends met, and pleasant moments were spent, renewing old acquaintances, which took us back to fond memories of the past. Mr. and Mrs. Smith have a lovely home in Los Angeles. They truly look prosperous in their 1923 Buick Six. Mr. and Mrs. J. S. Montgomery are having their home remodeled, inside and outside. They also are tearing up the old side walks and putting in a wider and more up-to-date walk which adds to the beauty and attractiveness of their nine-room home. Mr. and Mrs. M. W. Mack were delightfully entertained in this home with a delicious duck dinner, after which pleasant hours were spent, talking over our childhood days. Services at Macedonia Baptist church on Thaxter street, were well attended, February 4. A short, but instructive sermon was delivered by the pastor, Rev. J. W. Fleming. The young people rendered a splendid program. Here is where you find the musical talent. The choir sang beautifully, using E. O. Excell's Anthem No. 6 for praise service before the Lord's Supper. Grant Chapel A. M. E. church, on Compton and Fountain streets, recently purchased by that denomination, is a credit to any community. The attendance is not up to standard as yet, but the pastor, Rev. J. T. Price, is looking forward to a better attendance and greater things, which can only be achieved through prayer and service. Among the many things of great interest to our race is the fact that some of us are seeing the need of buying good suburban homes, and doing something to eliminate the great expense of city life. Many creditable homes, as well as business structures, are going up in Watts. This, in spite of the "hard times" we hear so much about, which is not hindering progress here in Watts. With regret, we mention the severe illness of Mr. Ennis Bell, formerly of Phoenix, Ariz., but now at 16th and Central avenue, Los Angeles, Calif. We shall try and let his many friends know through the columns of The Tribune how he is getting along. Mr. C. H. Cunningham, of 920 So. Compton avenue, owns and conducts a barber shop that is a credit to the business ection. He is one of our most popular citizens, and was elected by unanimous vote at the last meeting of the City Council, January 30, as City Marshal. He sports a handsome badge and nice large coaxer on his left hip, as evidence of the trust reposed in him. Mr. Cunningham and Mr. M. W. Mack were friends in Kansas City, as well as in Phoenix, where he also conducted a barber shop. When you want first class service, visit his shop. Mr. Jack Shields, proprietor of one of the largest and best New and Second Hand Furniture stores, at 216 W. Main—in the heart of the city— solicits your patronage. Fourteen years in one place is the business record of Mr. Shields. The best values and real service are given. The Rev. J. B. Bell, formerly of Phoenix, Ariz., was a pleasant visitor in Watts a few days ago. Unfortunately, we did not get to see him. However, we learn that he is growing feeble. Let us pray for him that he may be blessed for the good work he has done. Homes F First Street at Adams The Second Baptist church is progressing nicely, under the leadership of Rev. A. M. Featherston. There has been much good accomplished, and everyone is invited to take a part in the services. The A. M. E. Church is having splendid services. Rev. Wimberley is pastor, and invites all to come out. Rev. Jackson, from Los Angeles, was in the city for a few days last week. Rev. Venson, of Texas, passed thru here, going to the Yuma Valley. Mr. Edward Cross spent Saturday and Sunday in San Diego. The Masonic Lodge had a big chicken dinner Saturday, February 3rd, and a very neat sum was realized. Mrs. Deon left last week for a visit back east. Everyone wishes her a very pleasant trip. Mr. Clarence Featherstone is in the city from Somerton, and expects to make this his home. Miss Roberta Gordon has been suffering with the toothache, but is much improved now. There will be a program given at the A. M. E. church next week, and everyone is welcome to come and take a part. Full details will appear in the next issue. If you have any news, write or phone. Also phone in your subscriptions early, and let's help the man who tries to help himself. Mr. G. Cummings, who owns a twenty-five foot frontage in the business district, and who conducts a Second Hand business at this place, 329 W. Main, is planning to erect a concrete store with pressed brick front within a few weeks. The present space is too small to handle the business he is doing. A pleasant caller in the person of Mr. Charles Duigle made a flying trip to Los Angeles a few days ago in the interest of a patent he is trying to get on the market, which experienced business men say will be worth over $100,000. The writer has gone over all his papers carefully with him, and tho my knowledge of the patent is poor, I must admit Mr. Duigle is a genius. We trust he will experience no difficulty in filing, etc., that will retard the sale. Two Eastern firms are very anxious to secure the patent. Today's mail brings an increase of 20 per cent over prices previously offered. Let all pray for his success. $H_2$ is a deserving lad. Mr. Duigle was house guest of Mr. and Mrs. M. W. Mack while in this section. Mr. E. B. Scott of 906 South 4th avenue, who has been confined to his home the past two weeks on account of illness, is getting along nicely. Mrs. H. L.

BUSINESS IS FINE CLEANING THE PHOENIX TRIBUNE-ALWAYS IMPROVING Great Interest Shown The Tribune's jolly word puzzle is the talk of the state and everybody is trying for the $200 or prize. Somebody is going to win. Are you in the race? If not you're losing a rare opportunity. Mrs. Wm. Jones of 910 East Portland street, is confined to her home on account of illness. All ladies will be admitted free to the dance Monday night at the A. H. A. Hall, 4th street and Jefferson, and every Monday night thereafter. These weekly dances are given under the auspices of the U.N.I.A. "The Battling Hot 4" will furnish the music. Bob Adams, manager. Public invited. Annual Sermon Feb. 18th. The Colored Women's Charity club will hold their annual Thanksgiving services the third Sunday in February, 3 p. m., at the A. M. E. church, and the Rev. E. D. Greene, pastor of the Second Baptist church will preach the sermon. Three minute talks will be made by other speakers and it is planned to make this a grand affair. Remember the date, Feb. 18, 3 p. m. at the A. M. E. church. Everybody invited. Education Day The Arizona Federation of Colored Women's clubs has set apart a day in March to be observed as "Education Day," when a program will be carried out touching the life and character of the women educators of our race. The object of the entertainment is to raise money for the special Scholarship Education Fund Department of the National Association of Colored Women's Clubs. It is the plan of the association to select worthy young women of the race from various communities and give them a college education. The women of the national plan to raise $50,000 by this method. It is a worthy endeavor and should be supported by all who have the interest of the race at heart. Mr. J. B. Henderson will leave in a few days for Houston, Texas, where he hopes to annex the "missing rib." Mr. Henderson says it is all foolishness for a man to remain single when there are so many good-looking widows, ready and willing to be offered up. He will return to Phoenix with his bride. Friends of Mrs. J. J. Brown will be pleased to learn that she is getting along nicely. Mrs. Brown had a severe attack, but is now out of danger.
