Rev. S. J. Williams, pastor of Shiloh Baptist church, resigned to accept a call to the Calvary Baptist church of Milwaukee, after serving Shiloh for three years. He was highly respected and loved by everybody for the dignified and Christian manner in which he lived. The good citizens of Topeka, both white and colored, regret his leaving. He was instructor in the theological department of the Kansas Industrial and Educational school. His church was overcrowded last Sunday night to hear his farewell sermon. He gave the congregation some good, wholesome advice and if taken and followed it will be a great help for the uplifting, not only of Shiloh, but other churches as well. He said he liked Topeka and its citizens and regretted very much he was leaving, but thought it was God's will that he answer the call where probably he could do more for the work. He was a member of the Ministerial Alliance of Topeka which is composed both of colored and white ministers and has read some important papers before the alliance which were published in the daily papers. A fine program was given and resolutions read from the deacon board, trustee board, im- perial choir, Shiloh Coterie, Helping Hand, Dotcas Missionary circle, Gleaners, Sunday school. Rev. Williams was given a collection of $100 and many gifts from individuals, while Mrs. Williams and the children received tokens from almost every auxiliary of the church, expressing appreciation for the service rendered. He and the family stood in line while hundreds passed and gave them a farewell handshake and wished them success. J.

They say they never had seen such bright prospects since they have been in business and the colored people are buying property at a rapid rate. We are proud of this concern. Wish the race had more. Mr. Gaitha Page, of Kansas City, Mo., the only colored shoe merchant west of the Mississippi river, visited his brother and family, Mr. John Page, and also attended the Kansas Free Fair. This is his birth place and many old admirers were glad to see him in the city and would be glad if he would open up a business in Topeka.

He was a high class, dignified military officer and race leader and a man who has always been active in state and national affairs.

Perry, of Wichita, and must say this is one of the most wonderful establishments that we ever visited that was operated, owned and controlled by a colored man. There is not another one of its kind in this country and he is the first colored man to attempt such a venture and is making wonderful success. Ninety-nine per cent of his business is from the high class white people of this country. All high class animals, such as dogs, cats and the like, are brought to him for treatment. He was born in Higginsville, Mo., and is 33 years old. He graduated from Lincoln high school in 1910, served in the railroad service for five years, attended and graduated at Manhattan college in the veterinary department. He will have associated with him in the near future Mr. G. T. Brown, who graduates from Manhattan at the next term and who has also been assisting him in carrying on his business last summer. Mr. Brown is developing into a high class surgeon and Dr. Perry will be glad to have him associated in the business, which is growing at such a rapid rate it will probably require three or four. This hospital is equipped with first class implements and materials of all kinds for the carrying on of the business. There are several thousand dollars invested in real estate. His residence is located on the same lot and on the rear is the hospital, a very fine, unique building, all modern, equipped with heat and other necessary appliances for carrying on the business. He carries over a thousand dollars in drug stock and has a heating system and bath with five additional rooms for taking care of small animals. He was married to Miss Alice Wilson, who operates the famous beauty parlor of Wichita and enjoys one of the best trades in that section of the country. Dr. Perry is a progressive young man and is bound to do well. We met his mother, Mrs. Minnie Johnson, who is very proud of her sons. She was born in Higginsville, Mo. She owns a nice home and with her lives her oldest son, Richard, who has been sick for some time. Her husband Mr. Richard Johnson, is a hog raiser and very successful, having at this time over two hundred head. Another son, Milton, is in the mail service. Lugene is a school teacher and Homer is a mail carrier in Wichita and doing well. She is proud of her boys and says the Lord is blessing her. Dr. M. G. Brookins, of 1516 E. 19th street, Kansas City, Mo., has just opened a fine office where he is now making a specialty of the ear, eye, nose and throat. He has one of the nearest and best equipped offices west of the Mississippi river and enjoying a large practice. It is a source of pleasure to visit his office and note the equipment which runs into thousands of dollars, so he will be able to make a complete examination of any of the diseases susceptible to the ear, eye nose and throat. He is enjoying a large practice. He says the people are finding out it is essential to give proper attention to this portion of the body as they are susceptible to many diseases that people let go unnoticed until it is almost too late. They are now being educated up to this and he is paying special attention to this branch of the medical profession. DR. G. T. PERRY, VETERINARIAN SURGEON, WICHITA CARD OF THANKS .

DELEGATION VISIT Numerous letters have been received at the National office of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. 69 Fifth avenue, New York City, according to a announcement made here today, from former members of the Twenty-fourth Infantry, who have been confined in the Leavenworth prison for their alleged participation in the Houston, Texas, riots in 1917, expressing appreciation for the visit paid them by 588 delegates and members on September 1. One of them writes the N. A. A. C. F.: "Only a line to tell you that the boys are pleased beyond expression to know that the Association is so deeply interested in them. The visit to the federal prison by a delegation of five hundred and fifty-eight people divulges the fact that we are not forgotten, and have never been forgotten by you good people. To know that we are not placed in the same category with the average type of prisoners who condone crime, is indeed gratifying, and we will always fight to be men, morally." --- Another colored prisoner at Leavenworth who is not a member of what is called In the prison, "the Houston rioters" but who is imprisoned for another crime, writes of the effect of the visit: "I would hardly think of writing without telling you how much your visit accomplished. The benefits have been three-fold: First, the morale of the men of the 24th Infantry has been stimulated; second, the colored inmates of the institution were given what is probably their first view of the work of the N. A. A. C. P., increasing their understanding of the Association and giving them an intimate knowledge of the principles the Association fosters and supports; and third, the white inmates have been awakened to the fact that there is a group of Negroes under intelligent leadership fighting for what they believe right. ```markdown ``` "The general sentiment throughout the prison is in favor of the men of the 24th Infantry and one hears nothing but favorable comment on the interest which the Association has evinced in these cases. I am justly proud of my membership in the Association. To me, it is a tangible asset, minus the empty, visionary titles of an impossible dream. . . ." One of the prisoners said that the visit of the N. A. A. C. P. delegates had given him and his fellow prisoners enough encouragement and cheer to enable them to stand with fortitude another year of imprisonment; that they had begun to feel that they had been forgotten by the colored people of America but the visit had dispelled that idea. - In speaking today of the visit to the Leavenworth penitentiary, Walter White, assistant secretary of the N. A. A. C. P. said: "I have never had so touching an experience as the one of meeting and talking with these 54 men who for six years have been imprisoned because they dared protect themselves against a vicious Texas mob. Without exception every one of them is a clean-cut, straightforward character. Their heads unbowed even by six long years of imprisonment. Their gratitude at the visit paid them was almost pathetic. "Their martyrdom is one of the greatest travesties on justice that ever occurred, even in America where such travesties are almost daily practiced on colored people. We must never stop our efforts until these men are again free. "A remarkable situation exists in the prison in that the white prisoners are so eager that the men of the 24th be released. As we left the prison, Mr. Seligmann and I were called into the warden's office by one of the white prisoners who said to us: 'There isn't a white man in the prison who isn't praying that your efforts to get those men out may be successful.'" The National office of the N. A. A. C. P. has announced that plans are being perfected as rapidly as possible for a nation-wide campaign for the freeing of these men.

Hartford, Conn., is a beautiful city, very much like Oakland, Calif., with beautiful flowers in full bloom now, also strawberries blooming for a late crop. Fox's department store here deserves great credit for employing so many colored boys and girls as clerks and one girl cashier. It looked good to me to see one colored girl making change and pushing those little boxes on the wire. I saw five clerks on one floor. Looking from Waterloo, Rhode Island, I saw three states. New York, Connecticut and Rhode Island. We went to New London, Conn., in a car and I got to see some of the country where they were cutting tobacco and housing it in barns and they say the sun cures it. Mrs. J. B.

VANLEW OF WICHTA The people of Kansas and the entire country join in with the family and the Baptists of this country and Kansas to mourn the loss of a husband, father, preacher and race man, Rev. J. H. Vanlew, Sace Baptist missionary of Wichita, who died in Los Angeles, Calif., Sept. 7th, while attending the National Baptist convention in that city. Acute indigestion was the cause. He had served the office of state missionary of the Baptists for the past 27 years and did much for his nomination and the race as well. He was a member of the Baptist Theology Board, connected with the Kansas Industrial Institute. He was well known all over Kansas and was a pioneer of his church and race. He was born in South Carolina, New Botoy County. He came to Kansas and settled in Wichita. He leaves a wife, eleven children, brother, sister, relatives, and a host of friends. He was an industrious preacher and prepared for a fairy day and his family. He owned several pieces of rental property in Wichita, a small valuable tract of land, suburbs of Wichita, was just completing a two story pressed brick building on North Main street, and personal property, a large life insurance policy, estimated to be worth over forty thousand dollars. His widow is a lady of exceptional ability. She managed their notion and ladies' ready to wear store on Main street, where they are doing a good business, and may she and her family enjoy the fruits of his labor. Peace to his ashes.

The Security Life and Accident Insurance company of Atchison, Kansas, is doing a great business in Kansas. We met their state agent, Mr. A. C. Cartwright, at Coffeyville, Kansas, who says he is writing hundreds of policies weekly. For this reason the company is giving the people more for their money than any other organization in existence. The company is prompt upon the payment of claims the moment proper proof is filed. They have over twenty-five collectors in the field. Mr. Cartwright is well versed in the work and it is a part of his mission to instruct new field workers and see that they get started off properly. The rates are such that no working people or heads of families can be without it. Mr. Cartwright worked the entire state and then started around the second time, mending the gaps.
