Plaindealer

THE TOPEKA PLAINDEALER February 12th, Negroes Throughout the Nation Should Pay Homage to Abraham Lincoln and Frederick Douglass PROMINENT IN THE PUBLIC EYE Manager Griffin Discusses Some of the Men Seeking Political Plums ---Finds Many Prosperous Business Men and Concerns on His Junket. This writer has visited over one-half of the counties in Kansas during the past month, and everywhere we find people saying nice things about Geo. H. Hodges, our present chief executive. The news that he is in the race for a second term carried much joy to them, and why not? He has made good with laborers, farmers and business man—in fact he is governor for all the people, and they are not backward about saying so. Personally, Governor Hodges is the highest type of gentleman—no swell head—just plain Geo. Hodges, a friend of the meek and lowly—the same lad who traveled from laborer to one of the state's leading lumber dealers, and through his honesty and manly dealing has been honored with the highest office in the gift of the people of Kansas. Yes, he's the same fellow, and one can get to him as easy today as when he was struggling for a foothold in the world and fighting to keep the wolf from the door of a widowed mother. Governor Hodges has given the state a good clean-cut business administration, and the pulse of the people show that they are going to approve of it by giving him a second term. The colored people over the state are highly pleased with the Hodges administration, and frankly say that he is the fairest and best governor (toward them) the state has ever had. Governor Hodges deals plain when it comes to the color questin. He has spoken right off the bat against segregation in any form, nor will he permit a thing to be done that will in any way tend to belittle the colored race. In the face of all these facts the colored people would prove themselves ingrates should they turn down a good, square fellow like our present governor. Yes, Kansas colored people like Geo. Hodges, and they are going to vote, for him. --- We note with pleasure that our friend, W. I. (Iron Jaw) Brown, of Kingman has entered the race for United States Senator. Mr. Brown was speaker of the House during the last legislature, and held things in line and succeeded in giving us some splendid laws. Mr. Brown is a simon pure Democrat and a power in the politics of this state. He is an uncompromising fighter and a vigorous debater and if he secures a seat in the Senate, there is bound to be something doing. Brown in the rate for Senator sounds good to us. LEAVENWORTH Hon G. F. Dohron announces that he will be a candidate for judge of the city court, subject to the will of the Democratic primaries. He is one of the best known attorneys in the city and enjoys a large practice. Mr. Dohron is broad and liberal in his views and a believer in justice and fair play and if nominated and elected would fill the office with credit to both himself and his constituents. Hon. Floyd K. Harper, Republican candidate for county attorney, Lewenworth county, is one of the finest men in Kansas. The colored people speak of him in the highest terms, and say that he is fair, square and honorable, and it nominated and elected would go out of his way to see that a man-顽劣 of creed, color or political preference, receives a square deal. Mr. Harper is a true blue Republican and a lawyer of inability, having served Lewenworth two terms as city attorney. His friends are not confined to the Republican party alone, but men and women of all political complexion admire him and will lend him aid. ```markdown ``` Senator W. H. Thompson cannot please a community better than by appointing Mr. Charles Techetta postmaster at Leavenworth. He is a lifelong Democrat and was a power in the last campaign. He was with the Senator's "rabbit" from the start and did much to bring about his nomination and election. The people of Leavenworth county—regardless of political affiliation like Mr. Tachetta and want to see him postmaster. 1 1 WINFIELD. In this thrifty little city we had the pleasure of meeting Hon. Edwin L. Hepler, the newly appointed postmaster. He is one of the most active Democratic campaigners in the state, being vice-chairman of the Democratic Central Committee. In the last campaign he proved a power in his county. Mr. Hepler and Hon. J. S. Day managed the cleanest and most active campaign ever waged in that county. They gave Thompson a majority of 421 and elected many county officers, while the normal Republican majority is over one thousand. Mr. Hepler is also president of the Cowley County Fair Association and a valuable citizen. As postmaster he is making good, and the people regardless of politics are praising Senator Thompson for making the appointment. + + Mr. Mills G. Voirs, registrar of deeds, is a native of Illinois and a good Republican. He went to Oklahoma at the opening of the Cherokee outlet, and has resided in Kansas since the spring of 1905. Mr. Voirs lived on a farm near Maple City in 195 and 196 and was connected with the Silverdale Quarry Co., for two years. Later he conducted a general store at Silverdale for four years. He is one of the best and most favourably known men in the county, and has added many new friends since his election to the office he now holds. He has made good and will ask for a second term on his splendid record. 1 1 1 PUT WITH WINFIELD Hon. G. H. Buckman is a candidate for the Supreme bench. Judge Buckman is a man of great legal ability and his advice is sought by attorneys throughout the state. He was speaker of the House of Representatives and presided over that great body with ability and made many warm friends among all classes regardless of their political affiliation or previous condition. He is a member of the State Board of Law Examiners, therefore no better man can be found for that important place. Judge Buckman knows law from a to z and his interpretations of the same would be just and fair toward all. 111 FORT SCOTT While in this city we visited the court house and dropped in on our friend, Mr. Ida Travis, registrar of deeds. He is serving his first term in the office and has announced his candidacy for a second term. Mr. Travis is giving the people excellent service, and in so doing has increased his already large list of friends. He is a tried and true Republican, all ways contributing both time and dollars to keep the party in control. Personally, he is one of those large hearted, dignified gentlemen a few low that one can get to any old time. With the colored people he rank in class A, and when the time is close, many of them will lend him the active support. Mr. Travis reader of The Plaindealer, thus showing that he is interested in the black man's struggle for a footbold, and also that he is ready and willing to extend a helping hand to the race. While in Fort Scott we found Dr. B. A. McLemore enjoying a large practice among both races, and his reputation as a skillful physician extends throughout Southern Kansas. TOPEKA, KANSAS, FRIDAY MORNING FEBRUARY 6, 1914. M. H. HON. J. B. CHAPMAN, CANDIDATE FOR CONGRESS 1ST DISC. We also note with pleasure that the Doctor is somewhat of a successful farmer and stock raiser. What a great blessing it would be for the Negro is we had more such men as D. Velemore. ttt COLFEYVILLE. Hon. Elliott S. Irvin, postmaster, is a fine gentleman and well liked by the citizens. He was secretary of the Chamber of Commerce in which position he won the admiration and respect of the business people of the community. He is a staunch Democrat and a power in the ranks of the party. He is giving satisfaction in the post office and all of the people feel good over the appointment and say that Senator Thompson showed wisdom whom he selected Mr. Irvin for the place. ttt OSAWATOMIE. Senator J. W. Williams, of the Sixth district, is at present, steward at the State Hospital in this place. He has resided in the district forty-four years, is a life-long Democrat and highly respected citizen. He has many warm friends among all classes who will rally to his support for anything he may desire. In his present position he is making good and saving the state's money. ± ± Dr. S. L. Brooking, assistant nurse intendent of the State Hospital, Osawatomie, is a fine gentleman, and the right man in the right place. Dr. Brooking has resided in Miami county for many years, where he has a legend of good, warm, a personal friends among both white and black citizens. When Gov. Hodges appointed Dr. Brooking he made no mistake. He is a kind hearted man and will see that these unfortunates correlated in the institution receives the best of care and attention. + + + OSWEGO Mr. V. P. Hall, deputy in the office of the clerk of the district court, was treated in Parsons, and is one of the most promising young men in the state. He is as bright as a new dollar—n deep thinker and thoroughly schooled in business. He is an active young Democrat and was strongly in evidence during the last campaign. Mr. Hall is a deserving young man, and some day we hope to see him launch out after something big for himself. 1 1 1 Mr. Edgar D. Wells, the genial Democratic county treasurer of La-bette county, has announced his candidacy for a second term. This is his first time to ever hold office, and all are forced to admit that he has made good. He is well experienced in business, having spent eight years in the Commercial National Bank, and also taught in the public schools a number of years. Mr. Wells is a fine fellow—poor, reliable and industrious, and will at all times give the people the best there is in him. He believes merit and ability should be rewarded, and therefore is submitting his fine record as a recommendation for a second term. 1 1 1 ARKANSAS CITY. The New Era Milling Co., which was established in 1899, is one of the leaders in the flour manufacturing world. Through this institution, Arkansas City is fast becoming a flour manufacturing center and a market for all of the wheat raised in that section. They supply all of Oklahoma with their product, and this promises to be the biggest year of their career. Their flour is the finer product in milling and their "Polar Bear," "Novall" and "X T C" flour tank second to none in the market. $$ \uparrow \uparrow \uparrow $$ JUDGE ED. LITTLE FOR SUPREME BENCH. Judge Ed. Little of Kansas City, Kansas has announced his candidacy for nomination as justice of the Supreme court of Kansas. Mr. Little is well known to the people of Kansas where he has lived practically all of his life. When quite a boy he came to the state of Kansas in 1866, attended the University of Kansas, graduating in 1883 with honors, he read law one year at Leavenworth with the honorable L. B. Wheat, and JOHN H. BURKE JUDGE ED. LITTLE one year at Lawrence with John P. Usher, formerly secretary of the interior in Lincoln's cabinet during the war, and graduated from the law school of Kansas University in 1886. He was admitted to practice law the same year, and has been actively engaged in practicing law ever since. During his school days in Kansas University of law he always had a kind spirit toward the struggling colored youth, which in after years won him many friends among our people. Judge Little's business is of a gen- eral character, and he has about every kind of law set now known to the courts of Kansas his practice is second to run in the state. He is an advocate of a square deal for all unassuming in his manner and easy to approach, a good man and has . made good at everything he has undertaken, and now stands at the head of his profession, and the people will make no mistake in voting for Judge Little for that important place on the Supreme bench. His many years along legal lines amply fits him for this place. He is a man of great executive ability and we therefore recommend him to our many friends and readers. 111 HON. J. B. CHAPMAN, ATCHISON FOR CONGRESS. Hon. J. B. Chapman, of Atchison, announces his candidacy at the Aug. primaries for Congress from the First district. Mr. Chapman is well known throughout Atchison county (his home county) also Jefferson, Jackson and Nemhea and has many friends among both races. He has at all times advocated the rights of the people as a whole, and is a Christian gentleman. Mr. Chapman made a strong race for Congress in 1912 in the First district. He carried Atchison county by 1074 majority, though that county had always givevn a Republican majority of 700 to 1000. He also carried Jackson, Jefferson and Nemaha counties by good majorities and was beaten in Leavenworth county only by the Soldiers Home vote. In the entire district he ran 2181 votes ahead of President Wilson. He cut down his opponent's normal majority of 8000 to 2000 and the public will make no mistake in giving him their support. 上 t t The Land and Power Co., of Arkansas City is one of the best concerns of its kind in the West, and to them can be traced much of the thrift and business activity of the city. With concerns of this kind the people should deal liberally with them in the way of franchises, etc., and vote down every law tending to hamper their growth. The officials of the concern are all high-class gentlemen and thorough business men. 111 The Home National Bank of Arkansas City is one of the strongest institutions of its kind in the state. This concern was established as far back as 1888. It enjoys the honor of being the only bank in the city possessing surplus and profits in excess of capital, thus giving tangible evidence of strength and security. It is their desire to extend to each of their customers every courtesy and accommodation consistent with prudent and conservative banking. Your business is kindly solicited. Mr. A. H. Denton, president of this great banking firm is widely known throughout the state for his wise accurate business methods in managing the institution. 111 The Kansas Flour Mills Co. is one of the greatest flour manufacturing enterprises in the world. They own and operate 112 elevators in Kansas and Oklahoma and get practically all of their supplies direct from the farmers. They have a storage capacity—mills and elevators combined, 2500000 bushels. This concern ships their product all over the world and wherever sold has proven a winner. Through them thousands of dollars pours into Kansas yearly, and the farmers are paid by them the highest market price for their grain in good hard dollars. It is a serving enterprise and a blessing to the states in which they operate. They own and operate the mills listed below: Pratt Mills, Pratt, Kas "Pratt's Best" Moses Bros, Grant Bond, Kas "Moses Best." Hoffman Mills, Enterprise, Kas "Panchom." Anthony Mills, Anthony, Kas "Chancellor." Kingman Mills, Kingman, Kas "Dromond K." Batte Mills, Kansas City, Kas "Batte Best," "Made Rite" and "Big Society" 1 4 PAOLA. Judge Gio. H.

He also has shown that he believes in right for all regardless of their political affiliations or previous conditions, and we are aware of the fact that this is one of the offices that should be eliminated from politics as is our supreme bench. JUDGE NELSON CASE FOR THE SUPREME BENCH. To the Voters of Kansas: Judge Nelson Case, of Oswego, announces his candidacy at the August primaries for the nomination for the-Supreme Court of Kansas. Judge Case is an old citizen of Southeastern Kansas where he has been a member of the Oswego and Parsons bar for many years. His acquaintance extends liberally over the state. He is known as a high-class lawyer, a Christian gentleman who gives much of his time to good work. He enlisted and fought in the Union army and came to Kansas during the reconstruction days of 1860. He is now president of the board of trustees of Baker University, which is located at Baldwin, Kansas, and one of the beautiful buildings upon the campus of Baldwin, known as the Case Library is the result of his benefaction. Judge Case has always shown himself ready to aid the struggling young men of our race who seem anxious to get an education, and was the first to organize churches and Sunday schools when the Negroes came to Kansas from the South in great numbers in the early days of 1870. It was his Christian interest, that made them good citizens, and he now recalls many of these Negroes who have arisen to prominence in the state. Judge Case has practiced law in Kansas since 1869, graduating from Ann Arbor Michigan School of law and well equipped for the duties of the Supreme bench. A VOICE FROM THE SOUTH A VOICE FROM THE SOUTH. Lexington, Ky., Jan. 24, 1914. Editor Nick Chiles, Topeka, Plaundenler. Dear Sir: I see by your paper that you are asking that the old Slaves be pensioned and I am with you. I was born and raised with your race, nursed and cared for by them and I surely know them and their worth. We owned nearly two hundred black people and I respect them and say God's speed to Nick Chiles in your noble defense of and labor for your race. I am not the only ex-Confederate who believes in a pension for the old black man. I need no pension, never earned one, would not have one under any circumstances, never asked for quarters no longer to living man. Go on with your noble work and brilliant success will crown your efforts. My heart and hand are with you, and it does my old soul good to see what you are doing for your race, for no one knows better than I, what a Negro can do and the many good qualities he possesses.

THE NEGRO FARMER Something New: Something Needed A Paper That Helps People to Become Better Farmers is an Aid to the Church, the School and to the Secular and Religious Papers It has been decided to publish at Tuskegee Institute Post Office, Every-Other-Week for the present, a national farm paper to be known as THE NEGRO FARMER. It will be published in the interest of Negro landowners, tenant farmers and of those who employ Negro labor. There is no other strictly farm newspaper in the world devoted to the interest of Negro farmers. Many of the white farm newspapers enjoy huge circulations and there is no reason why a farm paper in the interest of Negroes should not prove equally successful. In fact, occupying an exclusive field it should enjoy a success far beyond that of the usual farm publication. It is proposed to circulate this paper among the 2,000,000 black farmers of the United States. The paper will be eight pages, of about the size of "The Country Gentleman." DR. BOOKER T.

BOTKIN FOR SECRETARY STATE "The Plaindealer is pleased to note that our esteemed friend, Mr. J. T. Botkin is a candidate for the office of secretary of state. Mr. Botkin is one of the best known men in the state, having filled many positions of honor and trust. He is a consistent Republican, and has served the party honestly and faithfully all of his life. The colored people throughout the state are proud that they will have an opportunity to vote for Mr. Botkin, who has always been their tried, true friend. He comes from a line of old abolition ancestry—the Botkins being among those grand men and women who rocked the cradle of liberty. He is a pioneer Kansan, landing here in the stirring times when John J. Ingalls, Col. D. R. and Geo T. Anthony—all sturdy youngsters took a stubborn stand against the fair name of this commonwealth being cursed with human slavery. Mr. Botkin is in every way well qualified for secretary of state and he is deserving of any honor that the voters of this state may bestow upon him. Tom Botkin's candidacy is being discussed by the colored voters in every section of Kansas and it meets their beauty approbation. TO THE PUBLIC Dr. G. R. Nunnally is our representative for the Plaindealer for the two Kansas Cities, and all contracts, until other notice, made by him for subscriptions or advertising space, will be honored and appreciated. He will gladly receive all items of news from the respective localities, visited by him and will devote considerable space each week to current affairs of interest to the Negro race in the two Kansas Cities. He will also address the members of our common brotherhood, white and black, upon questions of vital interest to the Negro Race and all concerned on important issues now before the people. The Doctor is an able and eloquent gentleman, a thorough newspaper man, and a life long and devoted friend of our race. You will find him all this when you meet him. The Plaindealer has an extended circulation over Kansas, Oklahoma, Iowa, Missouri, Illinois, Arkansas, and even Texas, besides there are several thousand copies which make weekly visits to every state in the Union.

Now let us all pull together, give the Doctor a kind reception, encouraging wowds whether you subscribe or not. Trusting to receive your hearty support in this direction, I remain your friend and co-laborer, NICK CHILES. Plaindonker, Topeka, Karsay, Feb. 2, 1911. GOV. HODGES GIVES COLORED GIRLS AN OPPORTUNITY. Gov. Hodges has recommended to the Board of Control to employ colored lady attendants at some of the institutions and the first to be the State hospital, at Osawatomie. There are many colored patients in these institutions and they have no colored attendants. We think it very timely that some members of the race be employed in these institutions that they may look after the members of our race. It is evident fact that the white attendants do not take up much patience with the colored patrons in their members of their own race. Governor Hodges has the power to appoint and anyone whom to appoint in consultation for the position should write to W. H. Dewey, or of the Board of Control stating their personal experience if any and their standing on their committee. We will be for some women of our race with good investment to make known to look after the members of our race in these institutions and apply for the position. A White Man on The Negro Race! (By Dr. G. R. Nunnally.) SOME REFLECTIONS ON WHY THE OLD SLAVES SHOULD BE PENSIONED. His fidelity to friends, adherence to master and master's family, faithful performance of all duties assigned him, entitles him to a pension. The buoyancy of his youth, prince and vigor of his manhood having been exhausted by the burning sum of summer and frigid blasts of winter, leaves him an object worthy of a pension. Feeble with age, trembling, feeling his way down to the narrow gate, head white as the cotton he picked in youthful days, hands cramped by hard work and eyes dimmed by time, he looks weary, for the feet are tired and he needs rest. Let us help him by a pension. An ex-Confederate surgeon, whose father owned many slaves, as well as himself, said the other day: "If left to me or my daddy and mother, if they were alive, I would pension and make easy the remaining days of every old black uncle and mama slave in America." He metly accepted the situation of slavery, made of the new world his home and here his babies were born and teated. Bright men, orators and statesmen, have been cradled in the arms and on the shoulders of the old slaves and the sorrows, troubles and fears of the little misses have been soothed by the tender voices and gentle hand of the old black mammy. The cherry light from the burning fites on the cabin hearths, the year round lent enchantment to the old plantation, and inspired the pen of poets and historians. Gen. Kirby Smith, who owned scores of colored servants in Jackson County, Missouri, shortly after the Civil War, when complimented on his large, fine farm, said: "Oh yes, the farm is a fine one, but I miss my Negroes; honestly, I would rather have back my trusty good servants than own all the land between here and St. Louis. I am so lonesome without them, but I must look after them yet for what they have done." The environments of the old slave embued him with the patriotic spirit of true Democracy, and by absorption he became the true Ameri- can. No Greek, Italian nor Mexican, have given evidence of true and worthy respect for our country and its institutions, while the old slave, like Spartans of old, guarding the sacred home of their sires, stands ready for action in defense of his country. If any one is deserving of a pension, it is the old slave. Don't you think so? I do. The old soldier draws a pension and he richly deserves it, and people who were not soldiers are to be pensioned and an effort is being made to pension the ex-Confederate, why not pension that deserving old slave over there, leaning on his cane, looking so tired. He has done much for you, he has come a long ways with you through toil, bloodshed and death. Do not leave the old man by the wayside, but put one hand about his bloodstained cross of Jesus and with the other lift him up by the touch of chin-it. If left to a vote of the brave and chivalrous southern gentleman and handsome and accomplished lady of true Virginia and Kentucky blood, they would be pensioned at once. In the dark hours of our Civil War when our constitution was totering upon its foundation, our social fabric disintergating and crumbling, the slave grasped with his old black and calloused hands the flag of all nations and bore it above the maddening rear of artillery, clash of sabers and rattle of musketry, to victory. He was stolen, shackled and imported into America and made a citizen against his wishes. With patient humanity and enduring fortitude, he leveled the forests of the South, tourgel the second soil and caused it to bring forth the cotton, tobacco and grain. The fruits of his untiring energy much weather and clothing with luxury, the Colonial states, enriched the North and made possible the development, merit of the Western Empire Can one one be commended with the fortitude of the B'deem and for still have the best success of the war, through at the time. With the aid of a new army the call of the enemy was made to slow down of his advance. from the most humane and the lowest cruelty you of wickedness and live to receive the final The character so often heard and maligned will stand resplendent here fore the world, and his name be revered by histrians and honored and respected by all nations. Surely the Negro has come up through great tribulations, bitter wrongs and barbarous cruelties. The same prejudices are upon his trail, but the baying of the blood hound of segregation is growing weaker in the dismal cypress swamps of his own creation. The Negro's greatest sin is that he is black; that he was brought to "the land of the free and home of the brave," a scoughed and manicled slave; that thousands of them gave their strength and youthful vigor for the upbuilding of America and that their unlettered progeny were turned out upon the fields of an unsympathetic world, penniless and homeless, without knowledge of the outside world, ignorant and unlettered. Turned loose in a world as strange to them as it would be to a prisoner of fifty years confinement in a prison cell, shut out from the world all this time, then turned out. But that meekness coupled with fortitude and an indomitable will power is fast bringing him to the front. Living learner of the pitfalls of his white brother, he shuns them now, and only asks that he be allowed such right and privileges as are his, by every law of man from the thundering summits of Sanai the present day.

SPRINGFIELD, MISSOURI. Thursday night, Dec. 17th, is long to be remembered by the citizens of Springfield, Mo., who came together at the Benton Ave., A. M. E. church, corner of Benton Ave. and Center St., to welcome Rev. T. A. Harvey to the pastorate of said church, and to welcome receive sister Harvey and the young Dr. B. F. Harvey, Jr. The audience was a refined one and the program rendered met the approval of the most fastidious. When the Master of Ceremonies called for order, Miss C. M. Foster, church organist, discoursed a selection that fit the occasion, after which Divine blessing was asked for and the following program was rendered: Music.....Choir Introductory Remarks.....Mr. S. A. G. Campbell. Instrumental Selection. Miss Denning Welcome Address in behalf of the churches.....Rev. Gear. Song. "Praise God".....Audience. Welcome on behalf of the Ministers.....Rev. Harris. Welcome on behalf of Baptists.....Rev. Holmes. Toast, "Mrs. Harvey and the Baby,".....W. R. Pulbright. Response to all addresses.....Rev. T. A. Harvey. Rev. Harvey held the audience spell bound, with his golden tongue of eloquence; and in a response that gracefully accepted the "welcome" was a gem of logic and oratory, extended to himself and his family. Among the ministers of the city, Dr. Harvey stands pre-eminently great as a scholar and is hailed by members of all churches here as "A polished Shaft in Jehovah's Quiver." INDEPENDENCE. KANSAS. One of the largest and most pleasant receptions even given in this city, was the one given by the young people at the A. M. I. church Jan. 26, in honor of the Rev. R. L. Phillips, of Pacific, Mo., who conducted a very successful revival here and those who united with the church during the two weeks of his stay here. The church was beautifully decorated with red and green, each light being shaded with red. Two large tables were tastefully arranged in the center of the room, where place cards were laid for the thirty-two honored guests. There were others present, numbering about 100. The following program was rendered: Music Invocation.....Rev. G. E. Pettigrew. Instrumental Solo...... Mr. Marion Jackson. Words of Welcome.Rev. W. H. Rowe. Instrumental Solo.....Miss Alice Dine Poem—composed by J. Vanderford... Miss Alice Fluellen. Instrumental Solo..... During this time the guests were seated and served: Chicken salad, bread and butter sandwiches, olives, coffee, ice cream and assorted cakes. The reminder of the program was then carried out: Instrumental Solo ..... Miss Ivan Vanderford. Vocal Solo.....Mrs. D. J. Shaw. Remarks.....Rev. J. J. Colbell. Vocal Solo.....Miss Beatrice Taylor. Presentation of gift.....Mrs. A. Gates. Remarks.....Rev. J. J. Colbell. Small tables had been arranged in each end of the church, where each guest was served punch during the intermission and when leaving. A beautiful cut glass dish was presented Rev. Phillips by the members of the church as a token of respect for his wife. The presentation speech, by Mrs. Gates, deserves special mention. It was indeed excellent. And last, but in no sense least, was the neat sum of money, given by several of the young men, and presented by Rev. Filligrew, our pastor. Rev. Phillips seemed so overjoyed, he could scarcely express his gratefulness, yet, his remarks were very interesting and if rightly considered, would be of great benefit to all who heard him. Mr. and Mr. J. A. Markam and family, Mrs. L. Vanderford, Mr. R. Payne and Mr. Wm. Payne and wife, returned the 1st, from Garnet, Kansas, where they went to attend the funeral of their father, Mr. L. Payne, who died at the Montgomery county hospital here, Jan. 25th. Rev. G. H. Pettifresh and wife, returned the 29th, after spending a few days in Pittsburg and Wen City. Kinsman, having accompanied Rev. Phillips as far as Pittsburg, they report a pleasant visit. The Bulkley Dry Goods Company.

The debate on the 2d: "Resolved That Country life is more Beneficial to the Negro Than City life," was an affirmative victory. The subject was well discussed by both sides. The debaters were: Misses Iva Vanderford and Martina Fluchlin, affirmative, Mr. Irvin McCann and Mr. Ira Fields, negative. Each evening took a better crowd, which means much for the building up of the society. Mr. C Bunch is in Coffeyville on business this week. He seems to be accomplishing a great deal in his line of work. Rev. C. Teal, pastor of the Baptist church, expects to start a series of meetings soon. Sunday the 8th will be observed as Allen's Day by the young people of Quinn chapel, A. M. E. church. It will prove a very interesting affair and a splendid program will be rendered. Rev. W. H. Rowe, pastor of the M. E. church, deserves much credit as historian of the literary society. FORT SCOTT, KANSAS.

Resolved, that in the loss of Mrs Harvey, the neighbors and community have lost a quiet, truthful Christian woman, who was patient in her suffering and honour in her dealing with all. Be it also resolved, that as her sister and nieces have lost a true friend and persevering woman, we commend them to the care of God whose all seeing eye even notices the sparrow's fall.

Then let's not give up the stinger's Follow Christ the oft heart more Strive to meet her in God's kingdom dom Resolutions from the church were read and the obituary and sermon by the pastor portrayed the loyalty and Christian fortitude of the deceased. The floral offerings were many and beautiful. A triangle of red, blue and yellow immortelles was given by the Knights of Pythias; an imperishable weath of magnolia leaves and roses by Mrs. Payne and friends and many other beautiful emblems were among these offerings. The deceased was born in Lawrence, Ks. and passed away Jan. 24, 1914, aged 11 years, 11 months, 14 days. If a husband, the late Mr. John Harvey, died just ten months ago.
