Subscriptions Ready Please EDITOR CHILES TELLS OF RACE PROGRESS IN HIS TRAVELS THRU MISSOURI AND KANSAS Continued from last week. THE MALONES OF PORO FAME, We next stopped at St, Louis, ‘the metropuhs of the state of Missouri. We stopped at the great Poro College, of which Mr. and Mrs. Malone are owners. They employ a large number of both men and women to assist in catrying on the business, We were sorry to find Mr, Malone indisposed but before we left, we were glad to see that he was able to take a ride in his auto, This is a business that we would be glad to have the president and the members of his cabinet visit. ere iy Mre. A. M. Malone, Founder and Builder of the Famous Poro College one of the most representative instl- tutions owned and controlled by the Race in America, It is the duty of the leading colored people of Missouri, al] through therr business oigersations to sce to it that when distinguished men of the country, of the other race, come through Bftssouri, that they visit this great Institution, The half has never been told nor can one beheve what is told about it, unless they see It, There are very few colored people and no white at all, who believe such a no- tion could be organized ard erected and carrred on by colored people anu that no such institution could have originated in the fertile brain of the race, Therefore it is nothing more than right that the world should b» invited to visit this institution and especially those who arc newcomers. 8, Louls is noted for its many col- ored churches. We would guess the population to be something over 75,- 000 colored people, There are sup- posed to be a church for every 1,000 Persons, Most of them are crowded every Sunday. If churches are Indica- tions of good people, St. Louis ought to havo them.

We mad this institution a short visit and mus' suy that we do not find the place in ¢ healthful and sanitary condition, a: such an institution should be con. ducted. We believe the officers anc the managers should get busy anc renovate and clean up this place. I such were done it would be very help: fal, They have several colored undertak. ing establishments in St, Louis. The Gordon undertaking establishment {s one of the oldest establihments in this elty and Mr. W. C. Gordon, the pro- prietor, is still on the job. The Russell undertaking establish- ments, conducted by Mrs. Anna Rus- sell Garrer and her sister at Pine and Lefingwell, are doing a fine business. Our friend, A. W- Loyd, Grand Chancellor, commander of the K, of Ps. of Missourl, has certainly brought the order up to its high standard, They now have a bank account of something over $1,000,000.00 and a Temple val- ued at several thousand dollars, They have an office force of from four to five people. T'rom here they pay all claims of the members of the order for the entire jurisdiction, While in the city we had the pleas- ure of meeting Dr, and Mrs. Breed- love. Dr. Breediove is one of the fin- est physicians in the city. Tney own several thousand dollars worth of var- fuus property and has just recently purchased other valuable property. Mig, Breedlove was formerly a Leav- enworth, Kun., girl, She ts very pop- alar and has many friends. The Doc: tor just rerently purcLased her a fine enclosed auto. One of the finest busiresses con- ducted by any single woman of the race is that of Mrs. Ehzabeth Grant She und her son own and operate ¢ manicuring and chiropidist depart- ment at hte B, Nugent and Bros, Dry Goods Company at St. Louis, one of the largest dry goods establishments at that city, She does a good bust!- ness and her trade is composed of some of the wealthiest people of that city. She and her son are masters of their trade. Rev, W. H. Peck, pastor of the church, has just completed a fine par- sonage, all modern and up-to-date at the cost of thirteen thousand dollars, He expects to begin building the new church in the near future. This is just across from the Poro College. Rev, Chas, Wiliams, pastor of the St. Paul A, M. E. church, is doing great works. They celebrate their hundredth anniversary of the church and Is taking in several thousand dol- lars, He is doing a great work and is loved by his congregation, Our friend, attorney Homer Phillips, has purchased a several thousand dol- lar burlding and is bringing in a neat income, There are twenty-two office rooms in the building and sevorM store rooms, Hle also enjoys a good Practice and {3 a progressive, active business man as well as a politician, St. Louis is proud of her newspaper, the Argus, which is fighting a battle for the race and causing great things to pass, The colored people of St, Louis are very proud of their ten new, unt- fermed colored poluement. This fs the firat time in the history of St. Louis, Mo, that the colored men have ‘een placed on the police force, They have had colored men in plain clothes, but not in uniform. They also hav? colored firement and other city offi- tlals, such as assistant city attorney, and others, This is where they elected a colored man as a member of the legislature, All these great improve- ments are being brought about by the colored people exercising their right of franchise, We found our friend, N, A, Mitchell, attorney, indisposed an taking a trip to Hot Springs, Ark., and we hope that he will come back well, tei We were proud to meet our friend Mr, Edgar McDaniel, his mother and sister, formerly of McAlister, Okta. They have just recently purchased a beautiful residence at 4338 Enwright street. Mr. McAlister ts a highly cul- tured, educated, business young man. He has been employed in the different departments of the government serv- fice for a number of years, He re- signed from htat service to accept a position with the Great Poro College. Ne is in chargo of one of the busincss departments and is giving much aid and assistance to the Malones in the clerical work assigned to him. He fs an expert in that line of work and has but few equals. His sister [s a teacher of English in the high schools of that clty. Miss Blanch ia {n college. His mother was, for a number of years, one of the leading educators of Okla- homa but has retired from that work and is now keeping house and giving her services to her children, Here we found Miss Gladys Carrion, daughter of Dr. Carrion, of St. Joe, who is engaged in the public work of the city. We also met our friend, Mr. Harvey | Davis, who conducts a fine soft drink fountain, cigar and tobacco stand, owns a nice home and other valuable property and is worth several thou sand dollars, © We only made a short stay at St. Louis but expect to return soon and make a better observation and more details concerning the raco and its achievements, Before leaving St. Louis, I wish to call the attention of the readers to the fact that ane of the finest giocery stores, excepting rane, is conducted by Mr. and Mia, Nevins, Everything ts neat, clean, modern and they have thee hoicest groceries that are put up or manufactured and told by any one, They own very fine, valuable pmperty and the sto1e room which they occupy. They are to be hichly commended and st {1 the duty of the colored people of St, Lou to tele. shone their erders to this store, They are doing fine business but could do more and could add mote clerhs if the race would send their trade to this ature instead of sending it to Greeks and Jews who care nothirg for them. | Mevico, Our next stop was at Mexico, where we fourd Bishop Parks and the North Missouri Conference m session, It 14 well attended, The minister seems ty have been sn guod spirits, The col- ored people in Mexko ure a big- hearted, generous, industrious class of people, Most everybody own their own! home.

This is the capital of Missouri and they are now beautifying the grounds around the new capitol building, They have something lke thirty colored em- ployes; a few are holding good re- sponsible positions, such as clerks, members of the board and traveling representatives for schools and insti- tutlons, The people, both white and colored, are proud of the appropria- tions made to erect the new building for Lincoln Institute and the great improvement that is contemporary, makes the people have a different air around the capitol, Jf something should slip and the new building is not erected, an undertaker would have quite a business, as there would be several heart failures, !

M. EB. Church, DAVID CHILES—GENTLEMAN David Chiles was a colored man whose heart and soul were directly opposite the color of his skin, Ile was more than a man, he was a gen- tleman, Some thirty or forty years ago he came to Topeha from somewhere in the Sunny South, bringing with him a personahty as fresh and cheery as the sulubrious cline from which he hailed. He was not cducated, but despite this handuap he had alulity Inyond the average of his race, He could neither tend nor write, but his simple “mark on w check or lexal instrument was sacred to him and as ample for his modest obligation as if it had beer the practiced signature of a bank president, He did not feel any great regret for his deficiency in these primary em- bellishments of society, but without acquisition he possessed intorn in- stincts of genuineness and nobility that would grace many a man of high culture and attainments, ifs optimism was perennial and in spiring. To him the world was a place to live and be happy.

The aad news of the death of Mr, David Chiles, of Topeka, Kannag, has tuken from Jabor to reward one of the most progressive public spirited characters of our race, Uncle Dave, as he was famillacty known, decided to move from the (Concluded on Page Two) So live that when thy summons comes To join that innumerable caravan Which moves to that mysterious realm Where each shall take his chamber in the silent halls of death Thou go not, at night like a quarry slave escrouged to his dungeon. But sustained and soothed by an nafftering trust. Approach thy grave like one who wraps the drapery of his couch about him and lies down to pleasant dreams." Thus did King David Chiles live and so did he die The story of the life of Uncle Dave, as we so familiarly called him, reads like an open book. For forty years in Kansas, his life was one of simple but well directed effort; tilling the soil; gathering the crop; treating his fellowmen as he himself would be treated; attending his church; aiding in every way possible, those who needed aid; lending as he could to those who sought help. Living according to the Golden Rule he struggled, thru hardships and accumulated land and then more land, and then as a relative would come to Kansas from the Southland, he would arrange for him to acquire suitable land for farming until that locality was almost tenanted soley by members of the Chiles family. Uracle David was a staunch, firm believer in the great race with which he was identified. He idolized those whom he heard of as being leaders of his people, being an advocate and ardent supporter of Dr. Washington's theory of "back to the farm" idea, and as a farmer and potato grower, had few equals in this section. His products were always the first on the market and he always found a good profitable market for his products, being well and favorably known as an authority on Sweet potatoes and their growth. In this work he took great interest and spent considerable time. A few years ago when the National Negro Business League met in Kansas City, Uncle Dave brought to the commission house a load of watermelons, sold them put his team in the stable, purchased him a ticket to Kansas City and arrived at the session as his name was being called on the program for a talk on Sweet Potatoes. He went forward to the surprise of his relatives who had no idea or knowledge of his presence in the city. On reaching his position on the platform before that large and representative audience, Mr. Emmett J. Scott, the secretary, proceeded to question him on his method of raining such fine potatoes. For several minutes he held the attention of his hearers on the growing of Sweet Potatoes. He retired from the platform went to the Y.M.C.A., secured his grip and dressed himself in his new Palm Beach suit, laying aside his old gray shirt and soiled trousers in which he had appeared before the League session, and marched out as a Beau Brummel, to the sights of a big city. This was one of the crowning feats of his life. He was highly pleased at having appeared before the talent and cream of the business and professional members of the race. He often spoke of this event and how he enjoyed it. At this session he became a life member and had made plans to attend other sessions, but on account of his failing eye sight, he would not go. For years he was a conspicuous figure and a daily visitor at the annual Kansas Fair where he always made a complete trip each day to the live stock, farm machinery and farm product exhibits. He was also a member of the Sunflower Agricultural Association, composed of the Negro farmers of the state of Kansas. His friends among both races of the county, were legion They loved him for his fairness and honest dealings. It was his belief that all men were honest and he has been known to lend money in sums running into the hundreds to various individuals, taking only their receipt for the same and has often remarked to the writer that he had never misplaced his trust in any case G K W, —When in Lawrence— and You Are Hungry—Stop at— —THE LITTLE GEM REST— 546 1-2 Connecticut st.

Brockett Street, Sherman, Texas . South about forty years ago, after having been refused a large plot of farm land owned by a white man, which he wished to purchase. Because of this refusal he moved to Topeka, where he could purchase farm land and realise his exalted hopes. He purchased land and was one of the most successful truck farmers in those parts. He afterwards inducal many of the southern farmers to move north, many times furnished the money for their transportation, etc. It was a pleasure to talk with him as he was well up on everything to farm life and business dealings. A great character as he was, one of the old type, uneducated and uncultured, yet he was a great force to the commercial and business world and whose procedure and advice was worthy of emulation. We trust his mantel of progressiveness fell upon some one of his off springs. An unusual and painful incident is the fact, that his nephew, Damon Chiles, also of Topeka, died the same day. Mr. Dave Chiles and Damon are respectively the uncle and cousin of our own Hon Nick Chiles, and it was in Tulsa that the sad news of their death reached him. The Sun deeply sympathizes with the relatives in this sad hour of grief. —Editor Theo Baughman in the Oklahoma Sun, Tules, Okla. Through the kindness of U. S. Senator Arthur Capper, who secured permission from the Department of Justice, Mr. Joseph Wardlow, a member of the 24th Infantry, who is now confined in the Disciplinery Barracks at Leavenworth, Kansas, was permitted to come home to the bedside of his grandfather, David Chiles. On receipt of his death, Warden Biddle, arranged for Wardlow's return in the company of Mr. Countee, a guard at the U. S. Federal Prison. We found Mr. Countee to be a splendid gentleman, an interesting conversationalist and a man with a broad experience received by over thirty years of service in the U. S. States Army. We are indebted to Warden Biddle for his kindness towards Wardlow on this occasion. Wardlow speaks in the highest terms of the Warden in his management and treatment of the men in his care. * Your Health---- Melanie Jacre photograph A Beautiful line of Ready-made Dresses is carried by this Emporium.

Church by the Stewardess Board, No. 2, of which Mrs. Pricilia Eagleson is president, was one of the finest we have ever attended by a similar organization. The menu ran from milk fed fried chicken to cake and ice Cream, and all that one could consume. The affair was given in honor of Bishop N. C. Cleaves, of the C. M. E. church, who has just returned from Europe where he visited the Decumenical Conference of the Churches of the World, also to Rev. T. A. Bowers, the retiring pastor. A number of ministers of the various churches of the city were present, as well as friends of the church. Board No. 2, is O. K. and we stand ready at all times for another invitation. Bishop Cleaves was anxious to tell of his trip abroad and others desired that he preach. He left it to a vote, the majority voted in favor of him preaching. The Bishop is a minute-man, always ready to act at a minutes notice and every word uttered counts for something. He is the most popular Bishop in the United States today. Every one loves him and he makes "buddies" of his ministers who labor with him. Mr. Benjamin Cavanaugh, brother of Mrs. Frank Wilson, of 1114 Buchanan street, arrived a few days ago from Tacoma, Washington, where he has been living for several years and had not seen his sister for over twenty-five years. It was a happy meeting. He will make this his home for a while. He is a fine industrious citizen and we welcome him to our city. --- · A Children's Contest Drill will be given at the Metropolitan Hall, 404 Kansas avenue. on Friday evening, December 2nd, 1921, under the auspices of the Asbury M.

Smith College will be glad to know that the work is still progressing at a very high rate of speed. New students are yet entering and the various classes show evidence of some exceedingly intense work being done by them. Our president, Dr. R. B. Hayes, has just returned from a week's stay in Chattanooga, Tenn, where he has been attending the annual meeting of the Southern Co-operative League in session there. This association is composed of the leading men of both races including men who are widely influential, ministers, bishops and the prominent, most outstanding men of today. Dr. Hayes is a member of the Committee of Education connected with this association. On his way back to Sedalia, he together with Bishop Scott visited a few of the colleges in Nashville, Tenn, where he addressed the student body at Fisk University, Walden College and Meharry Medical College. The College football team which has been out of the state for several days meeting the teams of Topeka and Kansas City has returned. All members of the team together with Dean Neal, who accompanied them, report having spent a very delightful time and although they did not bring back the game in scores they played a brave game determined to out-score them when they meet against next year. The last game of the season will be LOCAL FLORENCE CRITTENTON HOME TO BE RE-OPENED AFTER TWO YEARS INACTIVITY Mrs. Sarah F. Malone, It's Founder, Again at the Helm. GREAT WORK PLANNED FOR Annual Membership Fees of $1.00 Are Now Due and Payable After being closed for the past two years, the Florence Crittenton Home for girls, is being reopened and plans being made for the continuation of the great work which has been done by that institution in the past. Some time ago the Board of Directors sold the original property and purchased other property at $25 College avenue, a nine room modern house, in every way suitable for a home for girls Mrs Sarah F. Malone, City Welfare Worker and Policewoman, and founder of the local home and National Field Worker of the Florence Crittenton Mission, who was for years, the head of this institution, has been urged and requested by various state officials and the National President, to resume her work with this organization. After considering the matter for sometime, has consented to accept the work and altho her duties in connection with her city work consumes a larger portion of her time, she will give whatever time she is able, to the management and restoration of this very urgent and important work. Her plans for the future are many and will call for a number of improvements on the premises of the new property, including the interior furnishings and equipment. The home will be opened by wards as the occasion demands and as inmates are received. New furniture is being installed and each ward will be furnished suitably. As soon as convenient, the Board will install hospital appliances for a surgical and operating room. These features are costly, but necessary assets for the proper care and convenience of the inmate Several financial contribution have been made to the home recently and others have pledged. The President and Board of Directors are appealing to all friends and well wishers of the work to make whatever contributions they may see fit in a financial wave for the maintenance and fostering of this great work. They will also be glad to receive donations of new pieces of furniture suitable for the wards. Beginning December 1, the Home will be ready to receive inmates. The Board of Directors is composed of eight women and four men, who are devoting a part of their time and efforts that this work might succeed. The Home is recognized and endorsed by the State Board and listed with the other institutions of the city and state. Donations will be received by the following members of the Board: Mrs. Sarah F. Malone, Pres., residence, 734 Garfield avenue; phone 3129; or Mrs. E. G. Greene, Secy., 1008 Woodward avenue; phone 788. played Thanksgiving Day when we will have as our guests the team of Lincoln Institute, of Jefferson City, Mo. The team of George R. Smith College is confident of winning this game.

Gardenhire, of Manhattan, Kan. They serve two hot lunches per week and are planning an excellent exhibit in the near future. The Saturday Afternoon Sewing Club has had regular attendance at all of its meetings and is doing some splendid work. The club is open to the public.

The people are proud of the Blue Front Restaurant and Hotel, conducted by Mr. R. W. Stokes and wfe. Mr. Stokes is one of Missouri's leading politician and business men; he believes in his race having their rights as American citizens and he s found contending for this every day. They have a fine business and accommodate both races. Alton, Ill. We also visited Alton, Ill, out in the country with out friend George Hindman, who owns a fine farm and who formerly lived at Topeka. They have five children, all grown and several grandchildren. We also visited the A. M. E. conference, which was being held at East St. Louis, and spent a few short minutes there. Montgomery. Our next stop was at Montgomery City. Here we found a few colored people, some owning their own homes, one grocery store, and lots of room for improvement. Macon. Here we find a nice little town where once was located the great Baptist College but has recently been removed to Kansas City, which most people think was a mistake. There are several progressive colored people in this town. Dr. J. E. Smith is the leading physician and also leading light of the town and enjoys a fine practice of both races. He is also Grand Medical Director of the P. B. Fs. Mr. Franklin conducts a fine restaurant and cafe. There is one colored man in the postoffice and also one in the court house. Moberly. This is a division of the Wabash. We met Dr. H. II. A. Longden, who enjoys a fine practice among both races. He is one among the leading physicians and surgeons of Moberly. He has abled the electrical apparatus and is having great success in curing the pneumonia by his method. He is a physician that reads and keeps up on the latest methods of the medical profession. We also met Mr. C. C. Cross and his wife. They own a fine modern home. Mr. Cross is in the mail service where he has been for years. There are several people working in the shops. Lavette. H. are the colored people are making wonderful progress. There are three clothes, clothing establishments, dye works and training; three grocery stores, restaurants and safe, also a barber shop and three churches. Mr. George A. Napleton and wife are conducting at the grocery store. Dr. W. M. Wright is the leading physician of the town, owns good property and is doing a fine business. Prof. Craven is the principle of the school. The school is doing fine and everything is moving nicely. Rev. Young, pastor of the Baptist church is a fine minister, has a fine congregation but is feeling a little down on account of the illness of his wife. He just recently purchased a saw mill and engine outfit to give some of his members employment in sawing wood and lumber. Mr. Arthur Tolson, plasterer and carpenter, is enjoying a fine trade. While at Fayette, we were the guests of Mrs. Ellen Elegin and husband, who own a twenty-acre farm on the edge of town. They are fine, progressive people living at home. They are prepared for a rainy day. Mr. Elegin says he got prepared by using economy and he boasts of never yet having rode a street car and is 72 years old. Mr. E. Sampson is conducting a barber shop, restaurant and grocery store. He is assisted by his wife. He just recently erected a tile brick building at a cost of several thousand dollars. This building will do credit to the race in any large city. Mr. A. . Dickerson has opened a fine clothes cleaning, tailoring and repair shop upstairs in the central part of the city, and is doing fine business. He is assisted by Mrs. Ethel Tolson, who is a fine seamstress. Mr. M. Tolson and wife conduct a nice store on the new addition and are doing good business. They are among the finest people in the town. We also met our friend Mr. August Manch, who is doing fine. Rev. W. F. Walker, pastor of the M. E. church, is doing fine work. We had the pleasure of riding with him to Glasgow. He has an auto that he uses for service. This is one thing that is very necessary in towns where white people use their autos for colored people when no white are around. Mr. Walker started this business and is doing fine. Our race should get busy and in all these small towns and do likewise. This town was one of the worst slave holding districts in Missouri. Now the colored people are making wonderful progress and the white people are becoming civilized, courteous and polite. Roonville. This is where the school is located for incorrigible boys. The colored boys are now being treated much better since the new administration came. Here is the home of Dr. Hill, who is one of the leading doctors and who is also Grand Secretary of the Masons Grand Lodge of Missouri. His wife is principal of the colored schools and is about the only one in Missouri. In all the other colored schools, the colored men are principals. We hope to see the day when more of our colored women will come to the front and be principals of the schools in Missouri. Mr. John Ridgway, owns a grocery store and they are doing a fine business. Mr. Humphrey conducts a barber shop and is doing fine. Columbia. Here we find the large state university for whites. Every thing that heart can wish, this school has at its command. If the colored people worked just as hard for Lincoln as the whites do for Columbia there would be no doubt of the improvement now contemplated. The colored people in Columbia are very progressive and we find drug stores, groceries, truck gardens, laundrys and barber shops. We are praud to find our old friend, Elie Hicks, veteran grocer, who is doing a large business and his store is right up to the minute. It is located on Main street and right in the central portion of the business center. He owns valuable property and is a conservative business man. Mr. Henry Kirklin, is one of the veteran truck gardeners, and is one among the finest in the west. He has something less than five acres, which is partly under grass. He has it piped for water. He raises strawberries, raspberries, and grows hot-house plants. In fact, he supplies the whole country with plants. His customers consist of the wealthiest and most progressive people in that portion of Missouri. He gardens on the scientific principle, and his income is from 3,000 00 to $5,000 00 a year. He has just remodeled and completed his six-room bungalow, with everything modern and up to the minute. He also has purchased a fine auto, in which his wife and family motored to Chicago recently. He stands high with the bankers and other business houses and has nothing to worry him. Prof. J. B. Coleman and wife conducts one of the best hand laundrys in that portion of Missouri. They employ from ten to 18 people and have the best class of people for their customers. Their work is first class and therefore, they have no complaint as to business, as the work turned out by them is sufficient evidence of the fact that they have all they can do. Mr. Kirklin has also interested himself in a health resort at Randolph Springs, which they have purchased at a cost of $65,000.00. This will take up most of his time and may direct his attention from his laundry. Dr. J. A. Colwell, the druggist, conducts a fine business; he is a fine young man, who has always applied himself in the right direction, both in school and in business, so that he has made a success, and we must say that he is an exception among the average young colored man who has gone out into the professorial and business world. In school he was studious and in business he i conservative and progressive. He was married to Miss Velma B. Nobile of Fulton, Missouri. They are now enjoying their honey-moon and she is a faithful partner in the business. He owns the property where he conducts his business and is doing fine. They boast of their two fine physicians, Dr. O. A. Moore and J. A. Taylor, who are enjoying a fine practice among both races. Mr. J. G. Williams conducts one of the finest barber shops in that town and enjoys a trade that is phenomenal. He has five chairs and during the war he never raised the price on his customers. His hair-cuts are twenty-five cents and a shave is fifteen. Their business hours are from eight o'clock in the morning until late at night. The have a fine school building at Columbia and it is reported that they have a fine code of teachers and get fair results. Huntaville. We stopped here, where we have a few subscribers. This is a mining town. A good many colored people own their homes. This is the home of Mr. Louis Routt, who has a fine blacksmith trade and also repair machinery. He is one among the substantial citizens of that community, owns good property and also has an auto service, which his son and grandson operate for him. We had the pleasure of riding from Huntville to Sahsbury, Ketaville and Dalton in his new Ford machine. Rev. S. J. Taylor retired Baptist minister, is the father of eight boys and seven girls, of which thirteen are living. This shows that he has not always preached the gospel. He is one of Huntville's progressive citizens and owns valuable property. Mrs. Hattie Davis, and husband own a nice home and two acres of land where they raise poultry and truck garden. Sallisbury. This is a town where colored people also own their homes, and seem to be moving along fairly well. Some progressive man or woman should open a restaurant and a little confec- tory, if they had to do it in their own house. A white man owns a little restaurant where he Jim Crow's the colored people and puts them way in the rear end to themselves, just as if they were fierce, wild animals of some bird. It is the duty of the sixteel teachers and the preachers of the town to check that disgraceful affair by encouraging some colored woman or man to open a little place at their home where they can serve members of their race and anybody else who has the morey. So we hope the colored people will wake up here, and get on the job. Keytaville. Tals is a town where there are a few colored people, who own their own homes and are very progressive. Mr. W. Carter and wife are very progressive. They have remodeled their home and now have a fine modern residence. Everything is fine, and they have plenty of chickens and garments and seem happy and are enjoying life. This is the former home of the wife of Dr. Flourney, of Topeka. She is still teaching and the people of that town are reluctant to give her up, during the school season she has to return in order to please her many patrons, who love and admire her for her educational qualities. Miss Mary Ford is also a popular teacher of rural school. She is a very fine young lady and is very successful along educational lines. Dalton. This is where the Bartlett Industrial school is located. Prof. Bruce is president; he is a wide-awake, progressive, educational leader and he organized this school on a shoe-string basis and a few promises. Now he controls over 200 acres of land and three or four buildings. There are a large number of students and faculty. We stopped over Friday evening and enjoyed a very interesting program by the literary society. The young people around there are full of pep and they do things with vin and push. The program was fine and all of them responded and carried out his part to a perfection. Prof. Bruce deserves great credit for bringing that school up to where it is, by hard work, energy, and push and during that time has never taken any finance. His good wife deserves great credit, also, for the success he has made. She is a fine lady witt much energy and a will to overcome obstacles. This is the headquarters of the farm agent of the state of Missouri. The government furnishes one who devotes his time among his own race. Mr. J. W. Butler is a man who can tell the people how to grow corn, wheat and other products and also cattle, hogs and poultry. He is doing much to build up the school and the farms of that district. Mr. J. M. Barton conducts a general merchandise store and is doing fine. Here we find a section foreman of the Waba-h, who works from ten to fifteen men. They say he is the best on the road. The colored people have no business to speak of in this town. They have one grocery store but need two, a confectionery and a cafe. The grocery store they have is a success and is doing a fine business. Norborne. Here we find a fine set of colored people and very progressive. The leading tunner of the city is Mr. Howe, who has been there for years and is one of the best in Missouri. Mr. Hugh Slaughter is harness maker and shoe repairer. This young man is much respected and has made a success. Mr. J. M. Marlowe, the tailor, and his wife are doing a fine business. Mr. harles W. Thompson, the wheat grower who operates a threshing machine has just completed a fine eight-room house, all modern. He and his wife are among the most progressive people in that section of Missouri. Mr. Fred Walker, expert brick mason, draws a salary of $9.00 a day. Nordono is a nice little place and the Plaindaler man will spend a little more time there in some future date. Mr. W. A. Clark conducts a very good family grocery store, and is making a success. If the colored people of Sedalia would give him just 20 percent of the money that they spend in white stores, he could employ two or three clerks. It is time that the race was rigging up and doing business for themselves. The people of Sedalia need more race pride.
