A beautiful cantata is being arranged by Missca Blancho, and Adele Johnson, which will greatly add to the M E entertainments. That elaborate program arranged by the Woman's Musical and Literary club, in the interest of the Hospital Fund, was presented to a packed and overflowing house on November 14. All present were delighted. The amount realized will be given later on Members of the club are anxiously asating then turn to entertain the club. Two names have been presented for membership, but only one can be admitted at this time, completing the full limited number of 30 members. Mr Jordan Bishop, who resided in this city about 30 years ago, was lately buried at Kansas City where he resided. Proof Yates of Kansas City, who was widely known as a true leader and educator, passed away after a lingering illness. Gibson chapel was very successful with their rally. Twenty five bands of four members each were to bring in $10 per band. Three bands deserve an especial mention. Miss Adith Pullbright captain of children the reported 21 MissLa. cottle Gray a young girl in the High school, and a faithful worker for her church, brought in 425. But Sirer Margaret Osman, one of the oldest members of the church outstripped them all, as the reported 433. Little two years old Howard Purley was run down by a train on Friday, November 18, and his arm and feet were so badly mutilated that Dr E A Harris, assisted by two other physicians, were compelled to amputate them at once.

The agent has been somewhat indisposed, but hopes soon to be out looking up new subscribers and collecting from old ones. I please lay your subscription money aside, so she will not have to make a sec. ond call. --- VOLUME XII. The Colored People Should Take Advantage of This Opportunity --- Nebraska a Good State in Which to Live. I have just returned from Cherry county, Nebr., Brownlee post office, where through the assistance of Brother William P Walker and other enterprising Negroes we were able to organize an African Methodist church and Sunday School with a full membership of 15 souls and material in sight for at least forty members. Here in Cherry county I find a settlement of very intelligent and enterprising Negroes, who are located on homesteads of 610 acres of land each. These homesteads come under the Kincaide Homestead law, that gives each settler a section of land. This land is fertile and produces fine corn, oats, spolts, plenty of hay and alfalfa, sweet and Irish potatoes, pumpkins, squashes and watermelons and many other products that can be raised any where in the West. This settlement has fine water and plenty of it, good fishing and fine hunting. The land is being rapidly taken up by other settlers and I am frank to say I feel this is a golden opportunity for the young men of our race. When you have remained on your claim 5 years and made the necessary improvements, which are not difficult to make, you can get a ready sale for your land, if you so desire, that will bring you in a greater profit than anything else you can do for the same length of time. I truly hope that you who read this article will give this matter an earnest consideration as the writer has no interest in this matter out side of race and church interest. O J.

Miss Lucy Ashton Woods, of Kansas City, Kansas, will graduate in the next future with honor from a two years post graduate course at this institution.

Buy one for yourself and get your neighbor to buy one. The Smithvale Telephone Co. is very anxious to find 2,000 Negro men and women who have $1.00 worth of race pride in them! It is easy matter to talk race pride but let us act it by making some sacrifice for our race. See our agents and get one of the Company's dollar ticket, and try for one of the 40 shares that will be given away with the sale of 1000 of our dollar Ticket. Our tickets are worth one dollar after our sale is concluded May 19th, 1911. You can make a dollar payment on a share of stock by sending your ticket to the office of the Smithvale Telephone file, R. F. D. No. 1. Who will be tagged for the Smithvale Telephone On. It only costs 25c. Put yourself on record by getting one of these Nouvenirs. The Smithvale Telephone Co., owned and operated exclusively by Mogross, is doing a great work and extending to the youths of the race a great opportunity of building up and cementing themselves into one of the biggest corporations controlled by Colored People. In order for anything great to succeed, it must have the confidence of its people accompanied by some money. In the great State Capital Campaign, many of us paid one dollar for a tag or button in order that the state enterprise may be a success. Let me ask you to think seriously upon a business proposition that will mean much to us as a race. Do you have confidence enough in your race to believe they can bring things to pass? Do you believe that they can control and operate business concerns as well as the white race? If so, think on the business outlook of the Smithvale Telephone Co. owned and controlled by your own race, and allow yourself to be tagged to foster an enterprise that will mean much for our own boys and girls. We hope every person who desires to see Negro Corporations succesal that they may give employment to our own people will pay 25c for one of these souvenirs of the Smithvale Telephone Co.
