There is one thing we like about him; he is a progressive young minister. He organized a building and loan association which is succeeding and they are building houses for our own race, which should be done all over the state, and if the Colored ministers of the different denominations and churches of the different parts of the state and country would do likewise, the Colored people would not have to beg the white people to build houses for them.

With the closing of school for the year, juvenile eyes turned to the play grounds where they will enjoy themselves for the remainder of the season. At the Monroe playground an unusually large attendance has been the record.

Grant and Mr. Bert Gurdon. Miss Grant is taking great interest in her work and it is largely through her efforts that the results are being obtained. .. MOCK SENATE A SUCCESS .. The Mock Senate given at Brown Chapel was quite a success. The affair was given last Thursday. They elected Mr. Geo. Hardy, Mayor, Mr. John Chiles was his opponent The proceeds of this club goes to the Educational Fund. Thirty-two boys between the ages of 10 and 14 are now taking calls-thenics at the colored Y. M. C. A., 322 Kansas Avenue, Aaron Green, secretary of the colored "Y", said he hopes this will be the foreunner of a pyramid class. --- KANSAS AVENUE "Y" IN NEW QUARTERS The good citizens of Topoka will be feared to know that the Y. M. C. A. is well established in its new quarters at 322 Kansas Avenue. It is felt that the place is at least so located as to be a credit not onl to the Association movement and its immediate friends but to the community at large as well as to the whole Race. It is only natural that the Association has been put to a lot of extra expense and there yet remains some very necessary improvements to be made; for instance, "shower baths." These baths must be in at the earliest possible date and the Association does not want to go in debt for them. When the work is finished it must be paid for. Do you know that with 6,000 Colored people in the city, our boys, and girls, too, for that matter, have access to neither a gymn nor a shower bath anywhere except the very small number that take gymn work at the High School? This is only one of the conditions that the Y. M. C. A. is struggling hard to remedy. The public recently indicated its sympathy with these progressive ideas by either becoming members or subscribing to its maintenance Fund. Yet while it is readily admitted that the Association is compelled to have the money, nevertheless money is not the only thing desired. Your presence, a visitation once in a while, is also very essential to the success of this work. It tends to keep one in touch with what has been accomplished; is being accomplished and what the future prospects are. The Y. M. C. A. belongs to the public, and it is going to be just what the public makes it. Up to the present, in activities, in growth it is running second to none. Indications are that the Association will keep that pace. With the entire group of Colored citizens pushing or pulling forward the weight of the load will not be a burden to anyone and what might become a drudgery will be a joy and a pleasure instead and the goal for which all of us are striving will not be a dream but a living reality. BIGBEE—SCOTT NUPTIALS r. Clovus Scott and Miss Ethel Mae Bigbee was quietly married June 1st. This was quite a surprise to their many friends, who least expected the happening.

AGED MAN STRICKEN Pratt, Kan., June 14.—"Uncle George Wallace" former slave, whose exact age is unknown, but which is believed to be between 97 and 103, suffered a slight stroke of paralysis on the streets here the other day. He is said to be recovering. Uncle George has been unable to do much walking for several years.
