Plaindealer

THE TOPEKA PLAINDEALER. EDITOR CHILES JAUNTSTHRU THE STATE Some time ago we visited several towns in the southern part of the state, namely: Witchita, Winfield, Arkansas City, Elidorado, Hutchinson, Great Bend and Marlon. At Wichita we found our people doing well. This city can boast of more wealthy white citizens than any other five cities in the state of Kansas, consequently our people are in possession of several good jobs. Dry goods stores, restaurants, barbershops, a laundry, two newspapers and job offices, several small groceries, three patrolmen, one plain clothes detective, a fire fighting apparatus, a balloon of the court, four janitors in the court house, several colored men have charge of office buildings and there are several good mechanics here. The real live wire of the town, however, is Mrs. Ada B. Coulter, who owns two valuable rent buildings on North Main street, occupied by Colored business enterprises. Had she not had the good judgment and fact, to hold this property there probably would not be a colored business house in the court house block. She is now retiring from active business and will very shortly take a trip to California and then to Chicago, Washington and New York. She owns valuable rent property in Topeka and rent houses in Wichita. She is the wealthiest race woman in Kansas. The Makin Eye Drug store, with C. A. Morris, the owner and James Brown, assistant, is to be compil mented on the large volume of business being done. He carries a full line of drugs and sundry, which is valued at several thousands of dollars. E D Reed owns 75 feet on Main street. Mrs. A. W. Lloyd, also owns fine property. Three elegant churches afford fine congregations and the Rev. Flahback is now erecting a Temple which will be one of the finest in the west when completed. It is built of Missouri Granite and will be an imposing structure to say the least. We worshipped on Sunday morning with Rev. R. Ransom, at St. Paul A. M. E. church. They are installing a $9000 nip organ. We noted a fine congregation who have the highest regard for the pastor, Rev. Ransom. We also note that the good reverend is badly in need of a wife, and he has our best wishes for success in this regard. A good woman, who can make a fuss and amuse all the time will and in him one of the best men in the world who will afford you one of the best homes in the state. Now let us see who will be the lucky one. We also visited Mount Hope Baptist church in the afternoon where the Y. M. C. A. holds their Sunday at ternoon meeting. Wichita should feel proud of Lt. Huthehison, the energetic Y. M. C. A. secretary. He is a wide awake young man and is doing effective work here. What is needed is a fine building for their activities. Here is a chance for some philanthropist. Prof. West of the L'Overture school is doing effective work in the school system. He has surrounded himself with a corps of teachers who are graduates of our leading colleges and universities and who seemed to be possessed with plenty of common sense. That is one of the chief requirements for success in the teaching profession. We visited the Calvary Baptist church in the evening and found Rev. J. W Hayes, formerly of Leavenworth, doing fine. This is one of the largest and most thorouly finished Temples in the West. Rev Hayes found the church in debt $22,000. He is going ahead raising the money and the members say they will be out of debt inside of five years. (Continued; next week) Mr. Nelson, W. Benning, General Secretary of the Central Y, M. C.

ACUKWER, FROM FAR AWAY WEST AFRICA WILL ENTER THE KANSAS INDUSTRIAL AND EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTE. Principal G R. Bridgeforth has just received a most remarkable letter from a native of West Africa. This young man has been touched by a missionary just as Samuel Martin, who has just returned to Africa. He has been directed to enter the Kansas Industrial and Educational Institute. This young man, like Martin and Amiky, will work his way to New York on the steamer and then from New York to the Institute. Many of the missionary circles and clubs of Topeka and throuout the state helped to educat Samuel Martin and we trust that none of them regret any money they have given, because of the work he is ow doing. The missionary circles will be pleased to note this young man coming and I am sure they will be glad to assist him. He will enter the Bible school at the institute and will take some trade in industry which will make him an industrial missionary for work among his people. KANSAS CITY PLACES COLORED, MAN IN ALDERMANIC RACE T. B WATKINS THE MAN Mr. T. B. Watkins, one of the most prominent business men of Kansas City, Mo., has been named by the colored citizens of the Eighth ward, one of the largest wards in the city, populated largely by race people, as the candidate for the city council. His papers have been filed and accepted by the election commissioners. Altho an independent candidate, he is receiving the support of both republicans and democrats of the race in that ward. This is the logical step in gaining the proper political recognition in this large metropolitan city and the entire voting strength of that ward should be hurled behind Watkins in this effort.

Water, water everywhere. The services at the St James Baptist church, was largely attended on Sunday morning. Rev. C. M. Waton took as his text Gen. 19:17 and his subject was, "The danger of looking back." He drew a beautiful picture of Lot's wife and showed us the evil and punishment of slothful-christians looking back at sin and the pleasures of this world. He urged us to go forward as christians and do our full duty and reap our reward on the other side. It was a very strong, forceful sermon and all seemed lifted up and the spirit was manifested everywhere. Some were shouting, some crying, some shaking hands. Long may he live to preach the gospel in its purity. Mrs Alonzo Bowling left for her home in Chicago after a three weeks visit here with relatives and friends. Her mother, Mrs Giles Elliott accompanied her as far as Kansas City. Mrs Monie Carter is spending a few days in Kansas City, with her daughter, Mrs Summers, Mr. Harry Odair and brother, Will.

Rev Everette and family have moved herself from Ottawa and she has taken charge of the A. M. B church. He seems to be a splendid Christian gentleman, who wants to see God's work go forward and we believe under his leadership the church will go forward to success. We hope the whole town will be benefitted and made better by his having lived among us. Mr Warren Paris, an employee of the freight house made a flying trip to Wichita Saturday night to see his little daughter. Helen and relatives. He will return Monday morning. Mr Samuel Helm who suffered a stroke of paralysis some time ago is a little better at this time. He is an old man about 78 years of age and is yet unseated. Let us pray that the spirit will yet find its way there and heal his soul and that he will rejoice and say, I've found the Lord The B. Y. P.

Davison who has been suffering from an injured back is still unable to resume his work. We hope for him a steady recovery. Mr Bert Rav made a business trip to Omaha, Neb., last week for a few days. Again the Grim monster death has stolen into our town and has taken from our midst, Mrs Sarah White, daughter of Mrs Sarah Linne. She was born, raised and schooled in the public schools of this city. Born March 17, 1894, and departed this life March 9th, 1922, being about 29 years of age. For sometime she had been alling with an affliction which unbalanced her mind and was at Oswatton for treatment. She was there only about ten days when she contracted Pneumonia and died Her mother, brother and husband were with her when the end came. She was married to Mr Albert White a young farmer about five years ago. From this union two children were born both of which preceded her. The body arrived here Saturday at terrace and the funeral was held from the home Sunday, at 3 o'clock Rev Duke of Topeka conducted the service assisted by Rev Everette of the A. M. E. church, McBuff of the Christian church and C. M. Watson, of St James Baptist church. She preached her own funeral by her beautiful christian life, her untiring services to her church and her devotion to her home. She was a member of the Christian church having joined when a child. To know her was to love her. She leaves to mourn their loss, a loving mother. Five brothers, three sisters and a husband and a host of relatives and friends. She was the flower of the home. The funeral was largely attended and the deep sympathy of her friends was shown in the mass of beautiful floral offerings which decked the casket. "Why should we mourn departed friends.
