The Topeka Plaindealer The Washer-woman Has an Opportunity to Be Emancipated from Slavery! Uncle Sam Needs That Lazy Husband Historical Society State House QUINDARO HAS SUCCESSFUL CLOSING Thirty-two Young People Get Diplomas Dr.B.F.Watson Brings Original Deed to Trustees. May 31 marked the closing of the twenty first annual commencement exercise of Western University, Quandare. Kun. Considering the inclement weather throughout the week, the various programs were well attended. Dr. B. F. Watson of Washington, D. C., delivered the baccalaureate sermon on Sunday afternoon, followed by the various programs during the week, consisting of the class exercises, the pratical contest, the industrial demonstrations of the different departments of the school, featuring the "Warrior's Work Song," words by Dr. Kealing and music by Miss Douglass of the music school. Margaret Jenkins of Quindio, daughter of Miz. H. N. Jenkins, won the gold prize in oncology over several speakers. Second prize was won by Gertrude Birools of Kansas City, but On Thursday Dr. C. B. Spencer, editor of the Central Christian Advocate, Kansas City, Mo., delivered an excellent address to the graduating class. It was pointed, timely and well taken by his hearters. The music and orations were up to the standard in every respect, showing training and preparation. Jackson White of Topeka, graduating from the agricultural department, asulatorian, talked on agriculture. Zyphin Phoenix of Brookfield, Mo., talked on domestic science. Leo Jones of Larned, Kann, spoke on "The Call of the Soul." Zella Saunders of the nurse training department, Douglas hospital, spoke on "War Nurses, and Nurses in Peace." Miss Saunders is from Minneapolis. Kan. She had a good orientation which was well delivered. Miss Iallian Lewis of Muskogee, Okla., as vikidictorian and winner of the Brown gold medal, spoke on "The Rudiments of Success." Bishop Parks, president of the trustee board, presented the diplomas. In spite of the advance in the cost of living, a number of the students have remained in school and worked hard to stay until, the finish. President Kealing, just up from a spell of sickness, was pleased in every particular with the preparations made for the closing, his every wish and order being carried out, although he was in bed. This year closes one of the most satisfactory work years in the history of the school. The teachers and officials have given hearty cooperation to the president and good results were obtained. The boards of both departments met during the week, elected all the teachers and transaction other business helpful to the school. They made a long step forward when they decided to utilize the farm lands of the school to raise products to help feed the students. In this period of high food-stuffs every effort should be made toward economy, and the trustees are to be praised for this action. Next year the two boards, working hand in hand, should get splendid results and give the school more prestige. President Kealing was granted a leave of absence for the summer to recuperate, this having been a hard year, owing to the leg slature being in session last winter. He contemplates going east on his vacation. Dr. Watson turned over to the trustee the original deal transferring the university land to the A. M. H. church. He was one of three minister at that time appointed by the Kansas conference to negotiate for the transfer. These papers now form an important collection for the archives of the school in the making of its history. Ions are being made to start extensive repairs and improvements on the building during the summer. Prof. French, the vice president, will be in charge of these repairs during the absence of President Kealing. The last legislature made appropriations for machinery and equipment for the trade departments which will place them among the most modern shops and divisions in the country. The sewing and millinery departments this year turned out one of the best classes of dressmakers and milliners since its establishment. Their wealth was good. Also a class of good cooks were turned out, that department being one of the best equipped in the school and next year will be finished with individual cooking and baking appliances, together with other laboratory material. The steam laundry is putting in new machinery and affords a splendid opportunity for learning a practical and paying business, one which can be started on a small basis. The office is receiving in every mall applications for admission next year. Especially is this true of young men and women of Kansas The Bright Side of Oklahoma who are finishing from the Kansas public schools. The Choral club of the school has done extension work for the school this year in Kansas City and surrounding towns. Under Prof. Jackson, head of the music department, that department still retains its front rank in this line. This department has raised over $100 this year aside from all expenses, which has been turned over to the school. The Omaha club, a group of young people from that city who are attending school at Quindaro, recently gave a concert in Omaha, assisted by Prof. Jackson and Miss Douglas, and raised $80 for the Student Aid Fund, a fund which has been raised to help the students remain in school. At the annual meeting of the Alumni association Prof. R. H. Brown was relected president, and that body also pledged financial assistance to the Student Aid Fund. Miss E. L. Smith, the efficient bookkeeper of the school, was elected secretary-treasurer of the Alumni association, which now numbers over three hundred members. Major H. E. Ammons, the commandant of the school, has aided greatly in the discipline of the students this year and has, reorganized the military system of the school, which was approved by an officer of the U. S. army. Major Ammons left Tuesday to report at the officers' training camp at Port Des Moines, Iowa, for three months' training. (Concluded from Last Week.) HOLDENVILLE, OKLA. Holdenville is the town where the Rock Island crosses the M. K. & T. Here a few colored people own homes, though only a few are progressive. Here we met our old friend Mr. James Redd, formerly of Topeka, who has the Kansas spirit, owns some property and is preparing to improve it. He has for years conducted a fine restaurant. He married Miss Daisy Burdette of Atchison, and they are doing fine. Mr. James Lott has organized a company of colored men who are packing and billing old rags. This can be developed into a good business if they continue it. There are a great many loose characters among the young people around Holdenville who should get busy and find something to do. WEWOKA At Wewoka we found a pretty live little town. The colored people are engaged in business enterprises of various kinds. There are two or three general merchandise stores and two drug stores owned by colored men. This is the home of Mr. Candy Johnson, who is the leading spirit of the Indian people, especially the Creek tribe, of that country. He is a medicine attorney and one of the wealthiest men of that nation. He has just erected a hotel for his niece in Wewoka, and also has erected a business building with a pressed brick front. We did not get to see him, as he was in Muskogee, where he was retained in an oil case. We met his wife, who is a bright business woman, conducts a nine milliliter store and is making money. One of the live wires of the town is in A. H. Tysean, who has lived there over fourteen years, owns several hundred acres of land and is a high class upright Christian gentleman. He is Past Grand Chancellor of the Knights of Pythias of Oklahoma, and it was he who placed them in the high position they now occupy. When he took charge there were only 400 members, and when he turned over the gavel to his successor there were over 3000 members and more than $5000 cash on hand. There are any number of well-fed farmers in and around Wewoka and they are making good. Many improvements could be made around the town, especially by getting rid of the leafless class of colored people. There are three or four doctors at Wewoka, four lawyers and one dentist. BEGGS We stopped over at Bergs, and found the colored people here have a fine meat market and store owned in Heubert Finch, who also conducts a commission house and is making good. Mr. Wilbert Bee conducts a suc- TOPEKA, KANSAS, FRIDAY MORNING JUNE 15. 1917 He will report back to the school in the fall. Following are the graduates of the school from the various departments: Normal Class—Naomi Anna Carew, Tulsa, Okla.; Clovice Senorita Cunningham, Monticello, Ark.; Anna Mae Durham, Albuquerque, N. M.; Gertrude Mae Gardner, Indiapoolis, Ind.; Lillian Hamilton, Palmyra, Mo.; Wilma Mae Holmes, Pueblo, Col.; Frederick D. Jackson, Quinidan, Kan.; Leo B. Jones, Larned, Kan.; Jessie P. Mosely, Columbia, Mo.; Lillian Helen Lewis, Muskogee, Okla.; Jackson Ernest White, Topeka, Kan.; Cleopatra Watson, Muskogee, Okla.; Freda D. Well, Kansas City, Kan.; Ola Williams, Spin, Okla. Domestic Science—Grace Marina Goodall, Louisiana, Mo.; Beatrice Edith Manning, Chandler, Okla.; Jessie P. Mosely, Columbia, Mo.; Lillian Hamilton, Palmyra, Mo.; Zylpha Ann Phoenix, Brookfield, Mo.; Alva Marie Williams, Boynton, Okla. Sewing—Rita Lottie Carey, St Louis, Mo.; Naomi Anna Carey, Tulsa, Okla.; Sarah Jena Allen, Quindato, Kan.; Louvenia Davis, Port Smith, Ark.; Freda Hottenski Dolson, Denver, Col.; Marie Waldine Luevette, Quindato, Kan.; Gertrude Lucea Gotier, Kansas City, Kan.; Hazel Margarette McCleary, Fratt, Kan.; Beatrice Edith Manning, Chandler, Okla.; Lillian Hamilton, Palmyra, Mo.; May D.

Piano Music—Atlene Jackson, Kansas City, Kan.; Wilhelmina Zonoba Keith, Kansas City, Mo. cessful barber shop, and has auto service. the colored people own good farm land around Beggs and all seem to be doing fine. SAPULPA. At Sapulpa the colored people are doing very well. They can boast of having the best hotel in Oklahoma. This hotel is conducted by Mr. and Mrs. Harry Johnson and is known as the Kincaid Hotel. It has most class rooms, lunch, and everything up to date. There are three fine physicians in the town, Mr. and Mrs. McCoy Johnson and Dr. Humphrey. They all enjoy fine practice. There is also a nice drug store in the town. Sapulpa is a very busy town right in the heart of the oil country. The colored people own good property; they have three or four grocery stores, barber shops, pool halls, and the owners all seem to be making money. What is needed in this town is a nice dry goods and notions store and if some thrifty person would open such a store he would be sure to do well. --- TULSA Our next stop was at Tulsa. This is a city that is growing by leaps and bounds. All the colored people seem to be doing something. The chief business consists of restaurants, cafes, "holes-in-the-wall," etc. The main portion of the town, where the majority of the colored people live, is on Greenwood street and there seems to be very little attention paid to the sanitary conditions in this section. The lights are very poor, the roads are bad, and when it rains one can hardly navigate them unless he is fortunate enough to have a boat. It would be a splendid opportunity for some manner to put on a ferry to take the people up and down this street after a heavy rain. The city has a moving picture show which is crowded every night. There is something less than three hundred bather shops, something under five hundred restaurants, cafes, chill, pig's feet and chittering dumps. We are pleased to say the city has a few very fine restaurants and two nice drug stores, the leading one of which we believe to be the People's drug store, where Mrs. Zonibla Bagley of Buley is employed as pharmacist and business manager. She is a graduate of Harvard University and is a first class business lady. We predict great success for the drug store, with her assistance. The drug store on the opposite side of the street has a sub-postoffice and is doing a good business. What is really needed in Tuba is a corporation composed of colored business men to build nice homes for colored people. There is a demand for good houses and we would advise that all houses built hereafter have bath tubs with plenty of water in connection, for what the people in Oklahoma suffer the most from is the lack of a good bath. Our old friend Mr. Gurley is deputy sheriff, and he sees that the law is fully enforced. We met our friend H. O. Abbott, formerly of Topeka, who is assistant editor of the Tulsa Star and has charge of the job printing. We also met Mr. Smitherman, the editor of the Star, who is a live wire and is looking after the interests of the race, and the colored people should give him strong support, because he is doing a good work. We met our friend and former agent for The Plaindealer, Mr. Theo. Baughman. Tulsa, like most towns in Oklahoma, is overrun with churches and preachers. One can safely say that there are thirty churches in Tulsa, with a surplus of over one hundred preachers. This is the case all over the state of Oklahoma. It seems that when the state was opened, Christianity spread abroad in order to keep the people in civilization and ministers flocked there in great numbers, and are yet holding their own. You can not turn without addressing someone as "Reverend," then come the "professors"—they seem to follow in importance, and then the doctors. The farmers, business and laboring men then come in for their share, after which come the sports "Big Jim," "Bad Eye Bill," "Dead Out-the-Cock Sum," and all with appellations, as applied to the founder clerks, who seem to be very popular, with their silk shirts, silk skirts, and pints up to their knees when they are sitting down. This class is supported by a young set of women of all repute. Then there is a fine class of people in Tulsa who own property and are building a reputation for the race, and they should not allow themselves to be overshadowed by this underworld, who care nothing for God or man. Tulsa seems to have her state of this class. --- CLAREMORE. We stopped at Quitmore, which is a health resort, where people who are bothered with thematism and other aches and pains go to be relieved, and there is no question but that they find great relief if they go there on time. Dr. Jackson owns a morning house and is doing exceedingly well. Our old friends Mr. and Mrs. Cobb are still conducting the hotel they have made famous, and are doing a fine business. In this town we also found a toy set of coloured men and women who are doing nothing. Somebody should get busy and rid the town of them. Our old friend Watson is still interested in the clothes cleaning and pressing business. PAWHUSKA We stopped at Pawhuska for three hours and found the colored people long fairly well. The only objection we have to the town is that it seemed to be cany by Southern relentless colored people live in portions of the town that we believe are unhealthy, and they are forced to live there on account of the prejudice of the whites. The tea has a restaurant and a pool hall, and that seems to be the extent of their business. BARTLESVILLE. Burlosville is a fine, clean, up-to-date city, with many active people. This town is its early history did not enter to colored people, but now the colored people are forging their way to the front. They are buying good property, have good jobs, and it is only up to them to prove themselves. They have restaurants, pool halls and barber shops. The most work that the colored people get to is janitor work and housework, but they receive good wages and these seems to be a great demand for them at that time. There are a great many jobs, have an for the size of the town. There are two hambles and the ministers seem to be prospering. Our friend George Everette is a poply forging to the front. He and is devoted wife are among the leading people of the city. They have bought a the room bungalow which is beautiful furnished. Mrs Everette was formally of Jupkin. Mo. This is where we met our friend Jose Leach, who will be the next governor of Oklahoma. NOW LA A. Now if there are a few business enterprises operated by colored people. The most successful and up to date business is the tailoring and clothes cleaning establishment owned and managed by Mr. Joe Pierce. His patrons are among the best and most highly cultured people of that town. He employs five people and has an auto delivery. He has just recently purchased a fine home and by 1913 will be in a new brick building which is being created especially for him. Mr. Evelyn has a nice confectionery store, with aola fountain in connection. We had the pleasure of eating a fine country dinner with Mr. and Mrs. Owen Boarden. These people are among the best and leading people of that town and own a fine residence. We certainly enjoyed our dinner. The kidnaping and murder of little Baby Lloyd Keet at Springfield, Mo., last week was one of the most brutal crimes ever committed by a human being. It was almost as bad as the crucifixion of the Saviour. There is no sympathy for those who committed the crime. There never was a law enacted severe enough to punish them. While we do not believe in mob law, it would be proper to turn the culprits over to the women—we would be satisfied with the results. The parents will never be able to fully recover from the shock. Now, here is what we can not understand about the American white man. He is always ready to avenge a wrong committed by a colored man against a white person, even though it be but the stealing of a small trifle. Colored people have been lynched for such trivial matters, and even for defending the classity of their wives and daughters, and for committing an offense similar to the keet case they would have been lynched and burned, and a whole community of colored people would have had to suffer. In Now, a warning to the better class of whites, who believe in a Christian community and a just God: You had better join hands with the better element of the colored race by giving them a chance to work at anything you have to do, from day labor to the operation of your banks, railroads and business houses. If you do not, the class of people that little Lloyd Keet came from will have a very poor show, within the next few years. The class of people from which the kidnapers come are not in sympathy with the progressive whites, nor the colored race. They envy the success of all good people. The colored man will not steal your child; he is not jealous of your wealth or achievements. All he wants is a chance to help you hold what you have and accumulate more, thereby giving him a chance to help himself. Progressive white men, get with the progressive black men and save both ourselves from this white race of America in destroyers. NICK CHILES. Mrs. Viola Stiner will be our correspondent at Newata Prof. J. O. Spencer, principal of the school of that town, has made good. He says the commissioners have agreed to erect a large high school building within the next year at a cost of several thousand dollars. There will be an auditorium with a seating capacity of about 500. Prof. Spencer is one of the leading educators of Oklahoma and speaks highly of the treatment the colored teachers receive at the hands of the school board and commissioners. They are certainly superior to a large majority of the school boards of that state, for it seems to be the desire on the part of most of the school boards of Oklahoma to see to it that the colored people receive only a manger education. We believe they would feel more comfortable if the colored people held school in tents or dugouts. We will have further comment later on with reference to Oklahoma. Price $1.50 Per Year.

Jones, the pioneer undertaker and business man of Kansas City, Kan., was stricken a few days ago at a church funeral which he was conducting. His right side was partially paralyzed. At this writing, we are pleased to say, he is much better and hope is entertained for his speedy recovery. Mr. Jones is strictly a business man, a live wire. He is to the colored people of Kansas City what a commercial club is to the best interests of a town or community. He is a member of almost every colored lodge in his city; is grand treasurer of the U. B. F., and holds money for several lodges and private concerns. He is an honest, upright Christian man, always doing something that will give employment to the race. Mr. Jones was for years one of the largest excavating and moving contractors in that city. He is now engaged in farming on western land, setting a piece for others to follow. There is not now, and we do not know when there will be, another man like John Jones in Kansas City—they are very few and far between. Had other colored men followed in his footsteps they would be much farther advanced in the business interests in their community. There never was anything small about Mr. Jones. He is not stingy or close, but is always liberal, and still has enough to live on and enjoy life by seeing those he has helped in a happy mood. His wife is a jewel. She, too, is a good Christian lady who has many good, true friends. Let us all pray for Mr. Jones' speedy recovery. The race needs him. YALE, KAN. Mr Hudson is still on the sick list. Mrs Kinchlo made a flying trip to Pittsburgh Saturday evening. Mrs Howard and her youngest daughter were out visiting friends Sunday. Mrs. Lewis and Mrs. Jackson went to Pittsburgh Monday evening.

Opinions of Dr. Schuyler C. Jaques, Visiting Surgeon of St. Elizabeth's Hospital, New York City; Dr. Howard James, Late of the Manhattan State Hospital of New York, and formerly Assistant Physician Brooklyn State Hospital, and Wm. R. Kerr, Former Health Commissioner, City of Chicago. NEW YORK, N. Y.—Since the remarkable discovery of organic iron, Nuxated iron or "Ter Nuxate" as the French call it has taken the country by storm. It is conservatively estimated that over three million people annually are taking it in this country alone. Most astonishing results are reported from its use by both physicians and laymen. So much so that doctors predict that we shall soon have a new age of far more beautiful, rosy-chocked women and vigorous iron mon. Dr. Fredlann King, a New York Physician and Medical Author, when interviewed on this subject, said: "There can be no vigorous iron men without iron. Pallor means anemia. Anemia means iron deficiency. The skin of an anemic men and women is pale; the flesh flabby. The muscles lack tone; the brain fags and the memory fails and often they become weak, nervous, irritable, despondent and melancholy. When the iron goes from the blood of women the roses go from their cheeks. "In the most common foods of America, the starchs, sugars, table syrups, candies, polished rice, white bread, soda crackers, biscuits, macaroni, spaghetti, taploca, ago, farina, degerminated cornmeal, no longer is iron to be found. Refining processes have removed the iron of Mother Earth from these impoverished foods, and silly methods of home cookery, by throwing down the waste, plino the water in which our vegetables are cooked, are responsible for another grave iron loss. "Therefore, if you wish to preserve your youthful vit and vigor to a ripe old age, you must supply the iron deficiency in your food by using some form of organic iron, just as you would use salt when your food has not enough salt." "Former Health Commissioner, Wm K. Herr, of the City of Chicago, says: 'I have taken Nusatul Iron myself and experienced its health-giving, strength-building effect, and in the interest of public welfare, I feel it my duty to make known the results of its use. I am well past three score years and want to say that I believe my own great physician has trained me in the animal care of Nusatul Iron. From my own experience with Nusatul Iron, I feel it such a valuable remedy that it ought to be used in every hospital and prescribed by every physician in this country." Dr. F. Snaur, a Boston physician who has studied both in this country and in great European medical institutions, said: "As I have said a hundred times over, organic iron is the greatest of all strength builders." "Not long ago a man came to me who was nearly half a century old and asked me to give him a preliminary examination for life insurance. I was instructed to find him with the blood pressure of a boy of twins and a girl of sixty, him and vitality as a young man in fact, a young man he really was, not understanding his age. The secret, he said, was taking iron—Nuxatred iron had filmed him with iron-well. At 30 he was in bed with him; at 46 he was careworn and everly in now. At 50 he telling Nuxatred iron, a miracle of health and his free heart, all the luxuries of youth. From fifteen he made it possible his blood to change food into living tissue. Without Mrs. Birdie Glenn spent a few days in Kansas City last week and this week. Our friend, Mr. Joseph Jenkins, is reveling in the glad tidings of great joy that he is now "grandpa."

Rev. Ewing was in Chicago. Mrs. Ransom, mother of Dr. J. L. Ransom, was in the city Monday en route from Kansas City to Wichita, where Rev. J. R. Ransom has accepted the pastorate of the A. M.

You don't get the strength out of it and, as a consequence, you become weak, palde and sickly, looking, just like a plant trying to grow in a soil deficient in iron. If you are not strong or well, you owe it to yourself to make the following test: See how long you can work, or how far you can walk without becoming tired. Next, take two five-grain tablets of ordinary iron three times per day after meals for two weeks. Then test your strength again and see how much you have gained. I have seen dozens of nervous, run-down people who were all the while double their strength and endurance of days before they and other troubles in from ten to four (ten days) simply by taking iron in the proper form. And this, after they had in some cases been doctoring for months without obtaining any benefit. Dr. Schuler C. James, Visiting Surgeon of St. Elizabeth Hospital New York City, said "I have never before given out any medical information or advice for publication, as I ordinarily do not believe in it. But in the case of Nurseid Iron I feel I would remix in my duty not to mention it. I have taken it myself and given it to my patients with most surprising and satisfactory results. And those who wish to increase their strength power and endurance will find it a most remarkable and wonderfully effective remedy."

Mr. J. R. Lytle, retired tonsorial artist, was a pleasant caller one day this week and treated the writer to a big, healthy slice of cake he received from a lady friend in New York.

Notice—Mrs. National Ogan Association of appear in an the Second Ba It may not seem so, but Wednesday, July 4, will mark the tenth annual opening of Wilson's beautiful summer garden. The occasion will be a sort of celebration of its progress during these years, and time nor money will not be spared to entertain the public. "Those who recall the first opening will note the wonderful change that has taken place since that time. A large, commodious dancing pavilion has taken the place of the small pavilion, a fine system of lights has been installed and many other modern conveniences added, which make it the finest place of the kind in the West. "It is the most backward season I ever experienced," remarked Miss Ogeal Wilson, the promoter, "which is the cause of our delay in opening, but you can say to your readers that we will be on hard July 4th." It is the aim and ambition of Miss Wilson to make this the finest and best resort of its kind ever promoted by people of the race and the advancement made in t he past ten years shows that she is succeeding admirably and that her aim is no idle dream. Giant trees completely shade the place, and the rich carpet of blue grass studded with plants and shrubs reminds one of a scene in a picture, and once in the grounds you linger, and regret when time comes to go home. Be on hand at the opening. Miss Wilson is preparing to make things merry for you and yours.

Last week we returned from a trip to Salina, Junction City, Manhattan and Abilene, Kan., where we found the colored people holding their own. We visited the district conference, which was in session at the A. M. E. church at Salina. There has been a protest on the part of the white people of that town against the erection of a colored Methodist church and yet the United Brethren, which is a white church, opened their doors to this conference and permitted then to hold their meetings there, and also allowed them the use of the寝室. We must say that the United Brethren are certainly Christian people and God is sure to bless this class. We wish the United Brethren could get hold of that class of white people who are objecting to the building of the church. The mayor and commissioners of the city are trying to confess the property on the pretext that they want it for a street. In reality they don't want a colored church erected and are willing to use any means to prevent it. This is unfair, and if it is carried out and the colored people are not paid for the damage, the white people responsible will find that all its soils of trouble will follow them to their graves, because the Lord will not stand to be mocked at by evildoers. ABILENE. At Abilene the school board has tried to condemn and confiscate some valuable property owned by colored people for the purpose of erecting a high school. Now these people have worked for years and paid for this property, and now they object to having a school board composed of prejudiced white people deprive them of their homes. It is an outage and disgrace, and we hope there are enough fair-minded white people in Abilene to aslst these colored people and see that they get their rights. Our friend Benlaman Gray has bought a $12,000 farm north of town and will locate upon it next year. CORT RILEY. At Fort Riley Uncle Sam has several thousand boys training to meet the Germans. Here we did not find any colored boys in the maneuvers, is none have been organized as yet, therefore Uncle Sam will have to take his white soldiers and strap to the front in Europe, lighting the battle without the colored citizen. The colored brother will stay back and till the soil and trian-tact all necessary business to make it comfortable for the boys in the foreign land who are fighting to save this government. JUNCTION CITY. At Junction City we found our friend Jay Counts still conducting one of the best equipped and most up-to-date shoemaking and repair shops in this country. His machinery is all modern and all that is necessary to carry on the business. All he is short on is help, and he has advertised repeatedly for help, but he says the young colored men hire to him for awhile and after they get a few dollars they are ready to travel on. He is assisted by his good wife, who is an exceptionally good business woman. Mrs. Mabel Aldridge T.born will be our correspondent. We had the pleasure of dining with our friend N. D. Aldridge and wife. Mr. Aldridge is an everlasting friend of The Plaindealer and its editor, and we think no less of him, and will always be glad to go out of our way to do him a favor. MANHATTAN At Manila we found our friend Dr. Phillips, who is now classed among the fatmats. He says he has twenty acres of coin on the river bottom, but his friends say they are aftid the coin is not being plowed or worked properly, as "Die" seems to be holding up street corners at living the day, and if the coin worked it must be done at night. We think that if he has invented a means by which land may be worked at night he should import such knowledge to other farmers, for he would be able to make plenty of money KINKY UNITED STATES OF AMERICA Creatives use their time to make you what you want to be EXELENTO POMADE Las dames of hair.
