VOLUME XXVIII Closing Exercises Public Schools VERY ENTERTAINING—SINGING VERY PLEASING—EIGHTY-NINE IN ALL GRADUATED Large Crowds at All Schools—Children Acquitted Themselves Very Creditably—List of Graduates The closing exercises of the public schools were held yesterday morning and were attended by a large concourse of people. From early morning until the hour set for the exercises to begin hundreds of persons were seen moving in the direction of the three large schools. The accustomed large crowd, of course, was present at the schools in time to witness the goodly bit of the excitement occasioned by the promotions, which are made known the last day of school and, as in former years, those students who had used well their time were all smiles as the principals called out their names, while the less fortunate ones who were left behind presented the usual down-cast appearance. The commencement exercises were all very interesting and were very highly applauded by the audience. Especially pleasing was the singing, while the speaking was of the usual high order. In all there were eighty-nine graduates from the three schools, the Maple street turning out thirty seven, the East Broad twenty seven, the West Broad twenty five, The honor graduates at the Maple St. school were Lillie Bell Thirkield Giddens, and Corinne Viola Bailey, East Broad, Rosa Bourke and Marian Duncan; West Broad, Jessie Sherman and Almeta Robinson.

"Satan" At Air Dome Again Next Tuesday On next Tuesday, "atan," the picture which attracted such a tremendous crowd at the Air Dome last Tuesday night, will be shown there again. The management of the Air Dome was put to its wits to accommodate the large crowds which sought to see this picture, and as there were hundreds who did not get an opportunity, of seeing it, the picture will be repeated there on next Tuesday night. July 1st. An Appreciation and a Tribute to my Friends at Large in Savannah Dear Friends: I address you thus in all sincerity, because I can truthfully say that you have treated me with that consideration and courtesy and respect which are commonly found among sincere friends. I would be an ingrate of the worst type, if after residing in your midst for well nigh twenty-two years, and now about to leave our fair Forest City for good I did not manifest, even though it be in a simple way, my hearty appreciation and gratitude for your good will towards me. I appreciate, more than I can tell you in words, the confidence that you have in me and the honour which, from time to time, you have bestowed upon me. "Have I been so long time with you and yet hast thou not known me Philip?" a question put to that timid and doubting disciple by Christ. God be praised that you, my friends, have so exercised your Christian charity that you have really known me better than some whose privilege it was to know me to the full. Although not members of my church you'd never let me pass you without a word of greeting or a cordial grasp of the hand. If I happened to pass you without greeting you, you were charitable enough to feel that I was buried in thought or didn't see you, never giving way to the thought that I meant to ignore you. I am happy to number among my acquaintances and friends in Savannah, people in all walks of life, from the humble longshoreman to the bank president. In the discharge of my duty in this city, I have always done my best to minister, to the best of my ability, to the poorest and lowliest of God's creatures. I have stood on Drayton street in broad daylight speaking to a convict, clad in stripes,giving him a word of cheer and counsel. In St. Stephen's School and St. Stephen's Church, it was my aim to lay a solid foundation in the minds of many youths. How far I have succeeded remains to be seen. I am not running away from duty, but rather going in pursuit of a wider sphere of duty and service. To sordid minds, I am going to be nothing but a plain "missionary," but I rejoice that no work of God is too lowly nor humble for me to do; so that as "the disciple is not above his Master nor the servant above his Lord," and as Jesus himself took a towel and washed the feet of his disciples, so I am glad of the privilege to do what selfish and worldly people term "menial service," rejoicing in the thought that I am doing my Master's will. The blessing of God Almighty be with you all now and forever. Faithfully yours, Richard Bright, Rector of St. Stephen's Episcopal Church. The following letters from some of my white friends speak for themselves. It would take up too much of The Tribune's space to publish all the letters of commendation that I am receiving, Savannah, Ga., June 9, 1913. My dear Mr. Bright: I wish to express my very great sorrow at, your leaving Savannah. You are a citizen whom we can ill afford to lose. Your work and your example have been an inspiration to others, and you have the warm admiration and sincere friendship of everyone who knows you. You have left your mark through your school on many. I know it would please you to hear how universal is the regret among your white friends at your going. Sincerely your friend. From one of Savannah's most aristocratic ladies. Savannah, Ga., May 27; 1913. The Rev. Richard Bright 313 E. Harris St., Savannah, Ga. Dear Sir: I saw in one of the papers the other day that you contemplate leaving the city permanently to take up your residence elsewhere. I sincerely trust that this is not true, but if it is then I must express my deep regret that the city of Savannah will lose a man who, in my opinion, has been of no great benefit to his fellow citizens. I have watched for many years SAVANNAH, GEORGIA, SATURDAY, JUNE 28, 1913 Knights of Pythias to meet in Brunswick WILL HOLD TWENTY-THIRD GRAND LODGE JULY 7-11 Several Spirited Fights for Offices Anticipated—Savannah to be Well Represented—Great Preparations being Made Brunswich, Ga., will act as host to the Knights of Pythias of the state, when they meet there next month in the twenty-third annual grand lodge session. Elaborate preparations are being made by the citizens of Brunswick for the entertainment of this gathering and one of the most enjoyable and profitable sessions of the order is anticipated. In the fight for offices, all the present grand officers will offer for re-election. The most important fight, of course, will be that for the Grand Chancellorship. The incumbent, G. R. Hutto, of Bainbridge, will be opposed by Dr. G. N. Stoney of Augusta. A close fight for the position is anticipated and the friends of both men are losing no time in speaking in behalf of their respective candidates. It has been stated that there will be opposition not only to the grand chancelor, but all the present grand officers of the Order. In the list of candidates for offices, the city which is offering the largest number is Augusta, who will present three candidates, followed by Macon who will have two. Brunswick and Thomasville will offer one candidate each. Savannah, of course, is particularly interested in the re-election of Grand Treasurer F. M. Cohen and confidently expects that he will be retained in the position which he has held for so many years. The Savannah delegation which will attend the grand lodge will be about three hundred strong and will leave the city in a special train. The female portion of the order, the Court of Calanthe, will also hold 'their sessions at the same time as the Knights. As there has been no talk of any opposition to Mrs. R. L. Parnes, Grand Worthy Counsellor and the other grand officers, they will undoubtedly be re-elected. Locals Miss Corry Rivers after spending a few days in New York City, is now spending the summer with a friend, Mrs. Dennis Jones, in Springfield, Mass. Miss Bizzill Pritchett, daughter of Dr. Pritchett, has arrived from Augusta, where she has been teaching. This will greatly relieve Miss Bessie. Mrs. Frances Thompson, of New York, formerly of Savannah, is visiting in the city. Mrs. Thompson came to the city last week from Atlanta, where she was present at the marriage of her son, Mr. P. M. Thompson. Mr. G. H. Bowen was out of the city this week attending to business in Jesup, Ga. Mr. W. S. Scott and Mr. Sol. C. Johnson were in Atlanta this week attending the meeting of the board of directors of the Standard Life Insurance Company. Prof. G. A. Towns of Atlanta University was in the city this week. Mr. R. C. McCormick of Charleston, S. C., was in the city this week visiting friends. the efficient work you have been doing in this city and the results accomplished by you could hardly have been secured by any one else, so that if you do leave Savannah, you must carry with you the knowledge of a work well done. I sincerely trust that I may see you some time before you go. Yours very truly. Geo. J. Buldwin. President Savannah Electric Railway. Large Crowd Attend Rev. Smith's Funeral BISHOP FLIPPER DELIVERS BULOGY OVER BODY Many Leading Ministers in State Attend Funeral—Deceased Was Candidate for Bishopric Last Year. Dr. Timothy Nathaniel Morgan Smith, who died suddenly in Mil- ledgeville, Ga., on Thursday evening, June 19, 1913, was buried from St. Philip A. M. E. church, West Broad and Charles streets, on Monday, June 23. Because of the prominence of the deceased an audience that packed that spacious auditorium was in attendance, with many prominent ministers from all over the state. Dr. Smith was born March 17, 1854, and departed this life June 19, 1913, in his 60th year. By hard and persistent study, he became a splendid scholar, being able to read, beside English, Greek, Latin and Hebrew. He began his public life as a teacher in the public schools of his county at the age of 17, but early began his work as a minister in his church. He began to preach in 1873 at the age of 19; entered the Annual Conference in 1875 and was ordained deacon and elder respectively in 1876 and 1878. For forty years he preached the gospel in his church and became one of the most aggressive leaders of his denomination and was found in the forefront of all forward movements. He pastored some of the leading charges in the state, among them St. John, Columbus, Ga.; St. Paul, Valdosta, Ga.; St. Philip, Savannah, Ga.; having pastored 24 years and presided 16- He was a life Trustee of Morris Brown Universi* a member of the Executive Board of the University and of Central Park Normal and Industrial Institute. He was a member of the General Conferences of 1892, '96, 1900, '04, '08, '12, in the last of which he was a prominent candidate for the bishopric, receiving 139 votes. He was a member of the General Conference Commission to arrange for the session of the next General Conference which will meet in Philadelphia in 1916, to commemorate the centennial celebration of the A. M. E. church, and was on his way home from one of its meetings in Wilberforce, O., when overtaken by death. He died at his post as the Presiding Elder of the West Saranah district. In early life he married Miss Mary Wilcox, with whom he lived 34 years. She died in 1905. Two children, Rev. H. E. Smith and Mrs. I. E. Johnson survive this union, and also two brothers and five grand children, a number of relatives and a host of friends are left to mourn his loss. The following program was conducted by Dr. R. H. Singleton, pastor, who acted as master of ceremonies. St. Phillip's choir furnished the music under the direction of Prof. B. S. Reed, chorister. Mrs. C. P. Frank, organist and Mr E H. Green; violinist. The hymns were lined by Rev. B. S Hannah, P. E Savannah district; Dr. A. K. Wood, pastor, Valdosta, Ga., and Dr. W. O. P. Sherman, P. E., Waycross district; prayer was offered by Dr. B. J. Ross, P. E. Quitman district; Scripture was read by Dr. L. A. Townsley, pastor St. Philip Monumental church; obituary was read by Dr. R. H. Singleton, who also made the closing remarks Remarks were made by Major R. R. Wright. President Georgia State Industrial College; Drs. L. H. Smith, P. E. district, N. H. Whitmire, pastor Mt. Tabor Baptist church; M. V. Daughtry, pastor Asbury M. E. church; F. F. Boddie, P. E. Milledgeville district. President W. A. Fountain, Morris Brown University. Bishop J. S. Flipfer, D.D., L.L. D., Atlanta, Gra., delivered the eulogy which was a most masterly effort, and well befitting the occasion Mesdames M. Green and J. Glover beautifully rendered the duet, "Jesus lover of my soul." Telegrams were read from Drs. W. M. Johnson, Plains, Ga., L. W. McMillan and E. D. Giddens, Brunswick, Ga., the latter the Sunt. of the Savannah district, M. NOTES ON NEGRO BUSINESS PROGRESS. [Furnished by the National Negro Business Eagle.] The Church of God and Saints of Christ have established a grocery in Providence, R. I. A shoe store and a gents' furnishing store, conducted by Negroes, have recently been established in Washington, D. C., at the corner of Eleventh and U Streets. Both establishment are up-to-date as to stock and fixtures, Dr. J. E. Moreland, International Secretary for the Y. M. C. A., who has been campaigning for funds to erect an Hundred Thousand Y. M. C. A. building for Negross at Cincinnati, raised $15,000 among the Negroes of that city in a week. Lewis Brothers' Construction Co., is the title of a firm recently organized by Negroes at Montgomery, Ala., to construct residences and buildings of any description. E. H. Lewis is president; J. D. Lewis, treasurer, and Thomas Williams, secretary. William Hearns, a Negro at Ivy City, D. C., has patented a device which solves the problem of a century—the problem of how to insert taps and remove plugs from water mains without cutting off the water supply. A company has been organized by Negroes to build a plant and begin manufacturing it. Henry Allen Boyd, of Nashville. Tenn. is preparing a business directory containing the Negro publications in this country, with the names of the manager or publisher, date of establishment, and the banks, bankers and concerns, controlled by Negroes doing banking business. It is expected that the directory will be ready for distribution very shortly. Seventy-four of the leading Negro business men of Illinois recently met at Springfield, that state, and organized a State Negro Business League. The meeting which was very enthusiastic, took steps looking to the chartering of a special train on which to carry the Illinois Negro Business League members to the annual meeting of the National Negro Business League in Philadelphia, August 20, 21 and 22. Negroes in Cincinnati. O., have purchased a tract of thirty-four acres of land in Hamilton County, that state, on which they propose to erect cottages, a school for boys, removed from the temptations of the city, and reserve a portion for a farm on which to raise poultry and garden truck. It is a company affair, the stock in which was sold at two dollars per share. W. P. Dabney was the moving factor in organizing the company. Mr. P. M. Thompson Marries Miss Hortens Carson An Atlanta marriage which will prove of interest to Savannahians was that of Mr. P. M. Thompson and Miss Hortens Carson, which took place at Atlanta University on the 6th, of this month. Dr. M. W. Adams, dean of the University, performed the ceremonies, which were witnessed by the intimate friends of the contracting parties Mr. Thompson is a native of this city and is connected with the North Carolina Provident Mutual Association. Miss Carson prior to her marriage was a school teacher in Atlanta. Mr. and Mrs. Thompson are residing at 46 Daniels street. The following resolutions were read: In behalf of the church by Rev. L. A. Townsley and Mr. J. M. Nottingham. In behalf of the Evangelical Ministers' Union by Dr. L. A. Townsley. The ceremony at the grave was read by Dr. L. H. Smith and the benediction was pronounced by Bishop J. S. Flipper. Looking For a Sane Fourth INDEPENDENCE DAY TO BE OBSERVED THROUGHOUT THE CITY AND SUBURBS Tremendous Crowds Expected At The Various Parks—To Be A-Day of Mirth and Merriment. Perhaps the greatest preparations for the celebration of the Fourth of July in the history of the city has been going on during the past week and all Savannah will find ample provisions made for their enjoyment when Independence day arrives. At all of the amusement parks about the city there has been noted renewed activity in the way providing greater seating capacity, fixing up pavilions and getting everything in ship shape condition, and all this for the sake of better accommodating the crowds which will be on hand next Friday. As has been the case for several years, there is being made a very noticeable effort to have the "Fourth" celebrated in a sane manner and it is expected that the response of the public in this respect will be even more perceptible than it has ever been. Last year there were but very few accidents, and none of a fatal nature. The theatres are all going to put on extra bills and this will be a source of attraction to many. As was the case last year the lovers of the "manly art" in the city will have an opportunity of giving vent to their feelings. In place of listening to returns from the Johnson*Flynn fight, as were flashed across the country last year from New Mexico, the lovers of the game may go out to Lincoln Park and witness the Jeannette-Dewey ten round bout and there drink in to their soul's delight an exhibition of the boxing game as demonstrated by two of the leading fighters of the country, The railroads are anticipating a record crowd, and no doubt the number of visitors in the city on the "Fourth" will surpass that of any other year. --- Old Folks and Orphans' Home. The June meeting of the Old Folks and Orphan Home was held at Mt. Tabor Baptist Church, last Wednesday evening. The meetings so far have not had the attendance hoped for, but those present have tried to make up in enthusiasm for the lack in numbers. Rev. L. A. Townsley and Mr. R. A. Harper were elected members of the society. It is impossible at this time to state definitely how much the society made on the ball game played June 3rd, so far the returns show net receipt of about $10.00. The society extended and unanimous vote of thanks to the Negro Business and Professional Man's Association for their contribution of $29.60 to the building fund. Not as widely known as the other, charitable institution it did not hope that such a generous feeling would be shown. It has encouraged the society to hope that its usefulness will be seen next year even more than at present. A vote of thanks was extended to the Carriers and the Subway Giants who kindly gave the receipts of their ball game played June 3rd, to the society. The next meeting of the society will be held Wednesday evening July 16th, at Mt. Tabor Baptist Church. Those interested in this work are invited to attend and to join the society. Special Notice All persons desiring to furnish lodging with or without board to delegates attending the session of the D. G. L. No. 18, G. U. O. of O.

The secretary read a very interesting history of their work. Rev. Wright gave them a hearty welcome. He read for the lesson Prob. 31:1-31. His text was from Rom. 8:31. The subject was, "God for his people." He preached an excellent sermon showing in how many ways God takes care of his own. He prayed a very fervent prayer. The society contributed very liberally to church, pastor, choir and sexton. Evangelical Ministers' Union The Evangelical Ministers' Union met Tuesday with Rev. W. V. Daughtry presiding. Devotional service was conducted by Rev. L. A. Townsley. After having addressed the throne of grace the 25th, Psalm was then read. Among the visitors present were: Bishop J. S. Flipper, of the sixth Episcopal District of A. M. E. Church; Rev. A. Freency, evangelist; Dr. W. A. Fountain, president of Morris Brown College; Rev. J. A. Martin, successor of Rev. M. H. Rutherford to St. Paul C. M. E. Church, Revs. F. R. Simms, W. O. P. Sherman and J. A. Hadley. Rev. B. S Hannah read a paper, which was well written. Excellent addresses were made by Bishop J. S. Flipper, Dr. W. A. Fountain and others. The union held a short memorial service to the late Rev. T. N. M. Smith and adopted a resolution to be sent to the various church papers. Next Tuesday sermonic report. Rev. B. S. Hannah, presiding elder of the Savannah District, was the Lord's messenger at 11 a.m., on last Sunday. Bishop Flipper of the sixth Episcopal District, preached at 8:30 p.m. Presiding Elder T. N. M. Smith, former pastor of St. Philip Church and presiding elder of the West Savannah District, died very sudden at Milledgeville, Ga., on Thursday June 19th, and was buried from this church on Monday afternoon June 23rd, at 2:30. Visiting ministers from all parts of Georgia were present. Bishop Flipper and Presiding Elder, L. H. Smith were also in attendance at the funeral. Class meeting on Tuesday night was good Rev. R. H. Singleton and the President, Mrs. P. G. Jones, and delegates to Allen Christian Endeavor League left for Jesup, Ga., on Thursday morning. Brothers W. J. Williams, J. M. Northington and S. J.

Beth-Eden Baptist Church Corner of Lincoln and Gordon Streets Services Sunday were well attended. The pastor, Rev. N. M. Clarke's subject Sunday morning was "A Wayside dispute." He forcibly impressed upon his hearers, as was, also taught the disciples by Jesus, the necessity of rendering faithful service if we wish places of honor and glory. As Friday marked the thirteenth year of the death of Rev. Alexander Ellis, memorial services were held Sunday night in honor of same. The pastor preached from the text, "She hath done what she could." After giving a brief sketch of the life of Rev. Ellis, the text was beautifully applied to the deceased, showing that he did what he could while here on earth. Instead of the regular preaching Sunday night, there will be a sacred concert: Services to-morrow as follows: Prayer service 6:30 a. m., Sunday school 9:45 a. m., preaching 11 a. m., B. Y. P.

A Commission jo Promote Christian Unity The Protestant Episcopal Church in October, 1910, appointed a commission to bring about a conference for the consideration of questions as to the faith and order of the christian church, in the hope that such a conference will promote the cause of Christian unity. That commission is inviting all Christian communions throughout the world which confess our Lord Jesus Christ as God and Savior to unite with the Episcopal church in arranging for and conducting such a conference. More than twenty such cooperating commissions have been appointed, including all the leading communions in the United States and the church of England in England and Canada. Invitations are now being sent to the other leading communions outside the United States as fast as the names and addresses of their officers can be obtained. The Episcopal commission is publishing leaflets, explaining the scope and methods of the conference, and giving a list of books on Christian unity, and those leaflets have been circulated all over the world. The commission is glad to send them free to any one who will apply for them to the Secretary, Robert H. Gardiner, Gardiner, Maine. He has received probably ten thousand, or more, letters, on the subject, coming from every part of the world and from members of every communion, Protestant and Catholic. Persons applying entered on a permanent mailing list, so that they will receive all future publications. The Episcopal commission is trying to carry on the undertaking in the spirit of Bishop Brent, who urged, at the meeting when the commission was organized, that the side of organization shall not be made too prominent, but that we shall seek spiritual power. The first step shall be, in a new and full and deep way, to rededicate ourselves to God, free from past prejudices in order that, so losing ourselves, we may have a spiritual power simply compelling. Ministers and laymen and women in Georgia to the number of 97 have already been brought together, at least to the extent of enrollment on the list, which is arranged geographically so that those who are interested enough in Christian unity to apply to be placed on the list may obtain the names of others in their neighborhood also interested, with whom they can meet for united prayer for the reunion of Christians and for conference as to how it can be brought about. The list includes Disciples of Christ, Baptists, Episcopalians Presbyterians, Methodists and-Roman Catholics. The Executive Committee of the Commission of the Episcopal Church, of which Rev. W. T. Manning, D. D., Rector of Trinity Church, New York, is chairman, has recently issued a circular letter urging such local conferences. The World Conference may not be held for a number of years, for it will be a long undertaking to get the approval of all the leading communions all over the world, though the project is being received with great cordiality.

THE INTERNATIONAL SERIES. Text of the Lesson, Acts vii, 9-16; Heb. xi, 20-22; Comprehensive Quarterly Review—Golden Text, I John v, 4, Commentary Prepared by Rev. D. M. Stearns. LESSON I.—Jacob and Esau, Gen. xxvil, 22-34. Golden Text, Isa. xxx, 18, "Jehovah is a God of justice; blessed are all they that wait for Him." This is a sad story of deceit and lying, illustrating the fact that "the heart is deceitful above all things and desperately wicked" (Jer. xvil, 9). Had Rebekah believed God fully and firmly she would not have acted so. If Christians today believed God they would not stoop to any of the many unbelieving methods of helping God to work. Lesson II.—Jacob at Bethel, Gen. xxvlli, 10-22. Golden Text, Gen. xxvlli, 15, "I am with thee and will keep thee whithersoever thou goest." This is a lesson on the great grace of God toward a penitent slinner, one of the most remarkable visions ever granted to any one and referred to by the Lord Himself, who gave it to Jacob in John 1, 51. Lesson III.—Jacob's Meeting With Esau, Gen. xxvlli, 1-15. Golden Text. Eph. iv. 32. "Be ye kind one to another, tender hearted, forgiving each other, even as God also in Christ forgave you." The groundlessness of our fears when we have committed all to the Lord is manifest in the meeting of Esau and Jacob. LESSON IV.-Joseph Sold Into Egypt, Gen. xxxvii. 23-26. Golden Text, I Cor. xiii. 4. "Love cavieth not." God is ever working out His eternal purpose, and the time will come when we will bless the hand that guided and the heart that planned, thought for the present we may be as sorely tried as was Jacob and as grievously dealt with as was Joseph. LESSON V.-Joseph Interprets Dreams, Gen. xl. 9-23. Golden Text, Job xxxii. 8. "The breath of the Almighty giveth them understanding." The slavery and imprisonment of Joseph seem to us most cruel, but we must see the hand of God in all and in all the events of our own lives. It is written: "He called for a famine." "He sent a man before them, even Joseph." "He was laid in iron until the time that His word came" (Ps. cv. 16-19). LESSON VI.—Joseph Made Ruler of Egypt. Gen. xli. 25-40. Golden Text. I Pet. v. 5. "Godd gireth grace to the humble." Joseph's power, God given, to interpret dreams is now made use of for his own benefit and great deliverance. The forgetful butler remembered his faults. The wisdom of Egypt was of no use in the things of God. God enabled Joseph to interpret the king's dreams and thus raised him from the dungeon to the throne and made him ruler over all Egypt. LESSON VII. — Joseph Meets His Brethren, Gen. xlii, 3-17. Golden Text, Gal. vi, 7. "Whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap." After twenty years he looks upon the faces of the men who hated him, sold him and led their father to think him slain. He knew them, but they knew him not, and yet they are fulfilling the dreams for which they hated him. That evil treatment of their boy brother is not forgotten, and this ruler's treatment of them leads them to think of it. Lesson VIII—Joseph and Benjamin. Gen. xliii, 18, 19, 23-34. Golden Text, J John ii, 10. "He that loveth his brother abldeth in the light." Simeon is a hostage in Egypt; the other nine returned home with corn for their families. After long, delay they must come again for corn and of necessity, but very reluctantly Jacob gives up Benjamin, Judah being surety. Simeon is restored to them on their arrival, and the whole eleven dine with Joseph arranged in the order of their ages. LESSON IX.-Joseph Tests His Brethren, Gen. xliv. 4-17. Golden Text, Jas. v. 16. "Confess therefore your sins one to another and pray one for another that ye may be healed." They could be merry in his presence whom they had virtually slain because they knew him not, even though they were enjoying his bounty. They therefore needed a deeper conviction of their sin; hence Joseph's further severe treatment of them. LESSON X.—Joseph Forgives His Brethren, Gen. xiv, 1-15. Golden Text, Ps. oxxxill, 1, "Behold how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity." Their conviction of sin was now deep and thorough, and the love and forgiveness, which had long been in the heart of Joseph for them burst forth in the words of verses 3 to 8, and the guilty, terrified men look upon the face of their brother and are assured of forgiveness. LESSON XI.—Jacob Before Pharnoh, Gen. xivl, 1-12. Golden Text, Rom. vill, 28. "To them that love God all things work together for good." With abundance of corn and gifts and wagons to bring their families and their father down to Egypt the eleven brothers returned to their father with the joyful news that Joseph was alive and ruler over all Egypt. "Lesson XII.—The Blinding: Effect of Sin, Amos vi, 1-8. Golden Text, Amos v. 14. "Seek good and not evil, that ye may live." All prophecy sets forth the sin of man and the grace of God. The worst kind of intemperance is unbelief and leads to all else. God is not willing to have any perish and is ever seeking the lost and erring. The Two Color Frock Is Snappy.

Is there anything sweeter than a wholesome looking girl in a fresh calloo dress? All the silks and satins and chiffons and laces and charmeuse gowns and folderols in the world can't make the girl one whit sweeter or more desirable or better to look at. And yet somehow we ignore that fact and go on depleting our pocketbooks by buying the things that cost a lot of money and which we fondly believe enhance our charm. A pink and white calico and a pink and white girl, or something with blue sprigs in it that match the blue of her eyes, or a red checked affair that carries out the scarlet in her lips—not a drug store scarlet either, but the real thing in lips and color—can you imagine anything better, though it costs more? Maybe the girl made the dress herself, thus adding to its charm, for there'll be little individual touches in the homemade gown that no factory can give. Homemade gowns dowdy? Not much! Some of the best fashioned gowns parading our streets today were made at home, though the fact is carefully concealed. We're such snobs and so afraid of other snobs that we'll lie like troopers to hide the fact that we honestly toll to save a few dollars. Don't you remember how nice and fresh the women folk looked, and how pleasantly clean they smelled, and how the starched skirts rustled, and how perfectly bee-autiful you thought mother was in the light blue calico with the pink rosebuds? Somehow they were rosier and brighter eyed than the women of today, who think nothing of wearing a silk gown while doing up the supper dishes. They didn't wear the impatient frown that we see so often now. And father didn't have that harassed look nor the prematurely graying hair, and he took time to play with the kiddles and to talk something besides expenses with mother instead of using all his energy trying to make ends meet. A Veil and a Small Hat. When putting on the vell arrange the gathers in position; then place the thumbs just below the ears, allowing the vell to rest in the spaces between them and the first fingers. Raise the hands slowly, gathering the vell into tidy folds until the center of the back of the hat is reached; then tie the vell once, tuck away the ends neatly and pin them inside the brim of the hat. Take a flat vell brooch and secure the folds with this just above the neck. This helps to keep both the hair and vell tidy and does away with that very unsightly "screw" which one sees under the chins of so many women of this country, but never in the toilet of an immaculate Frenchwoman.

Forty-two per cent of the folks who live in the United States make their home in the cities. It is little wonder, in view of this, that there is a back to the land movement. Cleanliness in handling, in straining and in separating the milk is a factor that cannot be too carefully adhered to, for prevention is the main road to quality in all dairy work. Scratches or cracked heels in horses may be largely prevented by keeping the stall floor clean and dry and may be cured by washing the affected parts, drying them and applying carbolated vaseline The man who takes a book or magazine along with him when he goes fishing undoubtedly shows a desire to make the most of his time, but he can hardly be called a simon pure follower of old Ike Walton. The use of covered milk pails has been found to reduce the number of bacteria in milk in the ratio of twenty to one. This means cleaner milk, purer milk, and milk that will stand considerably longer before souring. The most used as well as usually the most abused of the human members are the feet. Because they are "on the job" so many hours during the day they should be provided with as good fitting and comfortable footgear as it is possible to secure. The Irish lady who offered as a plea in court in defending herself against the charge of selling milk that did not contain the required amount of butter fat that her cows got too much dew on the grass that they consumed early in the morning was admonished to let her cows sleep longer. The Langshan, one of the more popular of the heavyweight sitting breeds, is a native of China, having been introduced into the United States in 1870 by a Major Croad. The standard weight for the cock bird is ten pounds, cockerel eight pounds, hen seven pounds and pullet six pounds. The scattering of the spores from the red cedar blossoms or balls to the nearby apple trees may be materially checked by snipping these balls off before they get to the "ripe", or transmitting stage. Spraying experiments with dilute lime-sulphur show a control of the rust that is only 10 per cent effective. The general idea of the Indian being the easy victim of the white man's trickery seems to be reversed in the case reported from British Columbia where a group of Indians staked what they claimed was a rich-gold district and then proceeded to unload it on greedy American and Canadian gold seekers. Glanders, the worst disease with which horses are alllicted, is not curable, and in most states the law requires the case to be reported at once and the affected animal destroyed. In addition to its being incurable, the disease is dangerous because of the ease with which it may be communicated to those having the care of the sick animal. Several towns in the writer's home state have been completely rid of dandelions by bands of Italian laborers belonging to railroad construction camps located in the neighborhood. In their spare hours they scour the lawns and town and country roadside, taking the plants to their camps and putting them down in barrels with sugar and getting a fair quality of wine. Those who are growing alfalfa for the first time this year will be anxious to cut the crop at the right time. This is when about one-tenth of the blossoms are out, but before the new shoots from the crown of the plants get tall enough to be clipped with the mower. While cutting a little later than this increases the value of the first hay crop, it usually reduces the quantity and value of the second cutting. What is said to be the highest price ever paid for a calf in the United States is received lately by a Holstein breeder of Middletown, N. Y., for a six-weeks-old Holstein bull calf. The purchase price was $3,000, and the little chap went to a Scranton (Pn.) breeder. His name is calculated to be in keeping with the long price paid for him, being King Pontiac Alcartra Pietje. The sire of the calf is the $10-000 bull King Segis Pontiac Alcartra. Our Nearest Approach. "Have you any decorations in America like the Victoria cross, for example?" "Er-er-well.

GOVERNMENT HOMELEADS. For the benefit of any readers of this department who may be interested in seeking a new location we give below the substance of a notice recently issued by the reclamation service relative to the availability for homestead entry of excellent irrigated farms located in the well known Shoshone irrigation project, near the Yellowstone park, in Wyoming, and in the Huntley and Belle Fouroche projects in Montana and South Dakota. Water is now ready for delivery to these farms, and under the new three year homestead law a liberal inducement is accorded settlers in that they are permitted five months' leave of absence in each year. The cost of the water right is repayable in ten annual installments without interest. In the districts referred to there are already excellent transportation facilities, good roads, schools, churches of practically all denominations and rural mail delivery. For those with sufficient means to commence farming operations this offers an excellent opportunity to work out one's independence and develop a paying farm. Descriptive pamphlets concerning these projects may be had on inquiry by writing A. V. Leonard, settlement agent of the reclamation service, Federal building, Chicago. THEIR WORTH. A good many—a veritable army—of bright boys and girls are graduating these days from town and rural high schools. The kind of a record they have made in deportment and scholarship during the ten or more years of their schooling is an important consideration in determining what these young people are worth as factors in their respective communities, but of far more vital import and value is the individual attitude which these years of training have given them toward the big world which they are so soon to enter. Every one of them—boy and girl, rich and poor—should put to himself or herself the question, "What am I going to do with it?" Are they to be lifters and pullers in the march of life or riders and useless freight? Is the world to be brighter and happier and better for their living in it, or the worse off in vital ways? Each high school graduate must answer this question for himself, and answer it he will, whether he consciously puts the question to himself or not. And the practical answer made will be the world's measure of the worth of his life. SEEDING ALFALEA. In most semiarid sections where moisture is the main consideration in securing the germination of a seeding of alfalfa, the seeding has to be timed to take advantage of this condition. In sections east of the 100th meridian, and this is particularly true where the rainfall is abundant, the matter of getting a stand of the legume hinges often upon sowing at a season when the young plants will have least to contend with in the way of weeds. it is for this reason that the early part of August is recommended by many stations. This makes it possible for the land to produce a crop of early maturing grain and to be put in excellent tilth and made largely free from weed seed before the alfalfa seed is sowed. Many a farmer has given up the attempt to raise alfalfa because of not recognizing this simple requirement. RATION FOR PIGS. The question of the ration for the little pigs just after they are weaned is an important one. The idea should be to keep them growing, and for this a balanced ration should be fed. While a ration consisting of two parts shorts, one part bran and one part oil meal, made into a warm slop and supplemented by shelled corn and oats, is excellent, a still simpler ration may be given, consisting of seven or eight parts corn and one part high grade tankage or meat meal. If the pigs have access to a clover or alfalfa pasture they will get a part of their protein supply in this way, and the proportion of tankage may be reduced to one-fifteenth instead of one-soventh of the ration. AN IMPORTANT DECISION The United States supreme court has recently handed down a decision that is of vital interest to dairymen and consumers of milk all over the country. Briefly, it is that a municipality has the right to require all dairy cows that furnish its milk supply to be tuberculin tested and to prevent the sale of any milk from cows not so tested. The case on which this decision was based was appealed from the city of Milwaukee. The decision may be a bit tough on the farmer whose dairy herd is shot to pieces with tuberculosis, yet it is at the same time a ruling for which every consumer of milk should feel profoundly grateful. WATER AND PLANT GROWTH. WATER AND PLANT GROWTH. The importance of sufficient moisture for growing crops is the better appreciated when it is known how much water is required to produce a given amount of dry hay or grain. For the growth of a ton of dry alfalfa hay 700 tons of water is required; for a ton of corn, 300 tons of water; for a ton of wheat, 400 tons of water, and for a ton of oats, 500 tons of water. In view of these figures, there is made very plain the importance of preparing a proper seed bed for the small grains and of careful cultivation for crops such as corn to conserve the needed moisture.

Piigg ```markdown ``` THE FIGHTER Champion of the Rocky Mountain States who will meet Joe Jeannette in a 10 Round Contest at Lincoln Park, July 4 ```markdown ``` PREDICTION Now let me see; there are six Negro industrial insurance companies in this city. The reports rendered by them to the state officials for the six 图 months ending December 1912, showed a total income amounting to $566.775.50. Naturally this money had to be collected, and these companies given this job to so many of our young men and women, and paid them about $141,69.33 to do this collecting. The Ga. Mutual predicts that this $141,69.33 paid to our people will never be forgotten, and that sooner or later we will conclude, that since it is true that we invested $566,775.50 in six Negro industrial insurance companies as a protection against sickness and death, and aside from this protection we have received $111,69.33 in commission how foolish it is to insure with the other fellow who promise nothing at all.

There is no fixed height for any kind of cloud. Some remarkably interesting measures of the height of clouds have been made at Vienna by an ingenious method. Advantage was taken of the extremely brilliant light furnished for a great illuminated fountain erected in that city. By means of a projector it was found that a beam of light could be sent up to the clouds, producing upon them a luminous spot capable of being observed simultaneously from points on the earth two or three miles apart. By such observations the height of certain clouds of the cirrus variety was found to be as much as 10,000 meters, or nearly 33,000 feet. Exorcising Disease. Very curious methods were employed by the ancient Babylonians to exorcise disease. The sucking pig and kid played an important part in the remedies. The pig or kid was to be killed, cut up and placed upon the sick man. The heart of the pig, which had been placed upon the sick man's heart, was to be held by him, and the pig's heart was to be as his heart, the blood as his blood, the flesh as his flesh, and the pig was to be in his stead. The kid was dealt with in the same way, being placed upon the sick man. Plenty of It. "Have you hot water in your house?" "Have I? My dear boy, I'm never out of it."—Ballimore American.

BestService The vote of censure and reprimand recently taken by the local Baptist Ministers' Union in the case of one of its members charged with conduct unbecoming a gentleman and wearer of the ministerial garb, sounds the high note of progress and improvement among our people along moral lines, and hence should meet the hearty approval of each and every one of us who believe in cleanliness and morality among us. This action of the ministers' union was made the more strong in view of the fact that it was taken after the charged member was exonorated of all censurable conduct by one our common courts. Of all the people, the minister can least afford to be charged with questionable conduct. He is our moral leader and hence by right of position, the living standard of our moral life. His conduct at all times should be above board. Whenever he so acts that the question is raised to his moral fitness, then he begins to jeopardize the status of his moral influence in the community in which he finds himself. His conduct should then be investigated and if he is found guilty of any unbecoming conduct, then he should receive the censure or reprimand which the offense or offenses with which he is charged justify. The Baptist Ministers' Union by their recent action, has set a high standard of morality for its members. They have given to the world their verdict that immorality among themselves will not be countenanced by them. For this they deserve our most hearty congratulation and approbation. Let us sincerely hope that the standard which they have raised in defense of virtue and morality among us will not be lowered, but that it will be raised higher and higher as the years roll by. It is exceedingly difficult to establish and maintain a genuine respect for law and order and have people of the community to regard the authorities as they should, when prejudice and especially race prejudice plainly enters into the administration of the law and in the administration of public affairs. In Memphis a few weeks ago two colored men who composed a firm of undertakers were convicted and sentenced to the penitentiary for two years for extortion and attempting to collect a debt by criminal proceedings. The facts in the case were simply that a woman's relative died upon whom there was insurance ample to pay funeral expenses. She went to the undertakers who agreed to conduct the funeral upon her pledge to pay the expenses when the policy was collected. Instead of doing this she attempted to leave the city and evade payment. The undertakers, as any other men would have done under the circumstances, instituted suit and had her property attached which was in the depot for shipment. She employed a white lawyer and instead of defending the suit had the undertakers indicted for extortion and attempting to collect a debt by criminal proceedings. They were both well to do and respected citizens, having the confidence of the best business men of both races in the city. They were tried in a court of white men and before a jury of white men and the proceedings show plainly that the evidence was simply based upon race prejudice and upon this they were convicted. The result was a surprise to every one and an appeal has been taken with the hope that these men may receive justice in the higher court. American Baptist. It is indeed very gratifying to note the efforts of the city fathers of the great municipalities of the south to establish large and commodious playgrounds for the children. It is more gratifying still to note that in some of these cities, notably Nashville and Atlanta, playgrounds for Negro as well as white children have been established. As every one knows, each healthy child needs play. Play is the natural outlet of his activities. His health both of body and of mind is largely dependent upon an intelligent direction of his play and the hygienic surroundings of his playground. Take away from him his right of play and there is inflicted upon him punishment of the severest nature. On the other hand allow him to play under conditions and surroundings that do not savor of sanitation and hygiene and he becomes dwarfed both in physique and mentality. The guiding hands of our southern municipalities are awakening to a realization of the fact that one of their first duties is the making of first class, healthy, and substantial citizens of its boys and young men. They are now making openings for the proper development of the innate power of their youths, as never before. Our own municipality, Savannah, seems to have caught this spirit of the times and already her officials are takings steps, the carrying out of which will result in more and better playgrounds for her youthful citizens being established. For this effort on their part in behalf of the children we congratulate them. In their effort to establish more and better playground provision for the children of Savannah, we trust that our city officials will not overlook the needs of the Negro children along this line. They need recreation and pleasure as well as any other children. They need playgrounds of a hygienic order as well any other children. Making the unpaved and dusty streets their only avenue of pleasure and diversion, causes them to come in frequent contact with those disease and death dealing germs and microbes as would any other children, were they compelled to seek their play under similar unfavor- conditions. It is sincerely hoped that in the dispensation of playground patronage, that the children of our people will not be over looked but that ample provision will be made for them to engage in the healthy sports of youth under such surroundings and circumstances that they too may develop their innate power in the proper manner and to the good of their community and country. Ever and anon, murmerings, mutterings and utterances of a more voiciferous nature, can be heard anent a white primary for all future municipal elections within our midst. The hand writing on the wall" seems to read, the elimination of the Negro of any participation whatever in any election except perhaps those of a national character. The foregoing seems to be the sign of the time. "That the Negro in politics must go," seems to be the slogan of greatest popularity nowadays. And what are we going to do about it? This is the question to be answered by each and every male among us of voting age. Are we going to sit by idly and allow those rights guaranteed to us by the constitution of both our state and country to be taken away from us without exerting every effort within us to retain them? Are we going to rest contentedly on our oars and suffer our complete humiliation politically? Do we not like others, treasure those rights of our so aptly termed inalienable rights? What are we going to do about this? We reiterate that this is the all absorbing local political question before us. The Tribune on more than one occasion has called the attention of its readers to the dangerous and threatening aspect which the political horizon was assuming so far as our people are concerned. We have invited activity and cooperation on the part of our male citizens of voting age in order to stem the political wave which is threatening our political life. We have long since sounded the tocsin and urged action of a protective nature among us. Yet, no concerted action looking toward the preservation of our political life has been taken thus far. Just as sure as the pendulum swings, it is a certainty that in a very short time some measure designed for the disfrachisement of the Negroes of Savannah in local matters, will be submitted to the voters of Chatham County for action. The crying need of our people to-day politically is more registered voters. We need them, we must have them. Our men who have been delinquent in the requirements of citizenship must be made to know that it is their duty to make themselves immediately "sure footed" politically by paying the necessary taxes, which will enable them to do so. A strong club organized for the purpose of urging and seeing to it that our men become registered voters, is much needed, just now. Who will take the initiative in such a movement? The time for action is at hand. Circumstances will not admit of delay. We must work to win.. Who will start the movement? There is an opportunity. Let some one get busy along this line and we are sure that a strong and active support will be given on every hand. By all means, let us awake from our dormant political state and get busy. We must get busy and at once. Proclamation Office of Grand Worthy Counsellor of the Order of Calanthe K. of P. Savannah, Ga., June 2nd, 1913.

Deaths Little Emma Zetta Smith, the three year old daughter of Mr. Jerfeson Smith and Mrs. Ida Smith of 606 33rd street, east, died on Saturday June 21st. She was a remarkable child for her age and loved by all who knew her. She was buried at Baxley, Ga., on Sunday June 22nd. The infant daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Skipper, died on Monday June 16th, at the residence, 533 Taylor street, east. When God made known to Ezechias, the young king of Israel, his approaching death, the king sighed from the depth of his heart saying: "What in the middle of my days, am I to flescend to the gates of death? Is my life to be cut like the thread by the weaver whilst I am at the very start?" Thus might have exclaimed young Horace J. Miller when inexorable death called on him at the young age of 28 years. He was married to his affectionate wife, Miss Bonnie White, teacher of St. Anthony's Catholic school on last September. They were living their days in a truly Christian union, in peace and harmony and earnest work. He was carefully attending to his business as inspector and had advanced to the position of assistant superintendent of the collectors. His free time he passed usefully and agreeably by painting ensigns, pictures and landscapes, for which he had a singular taste and talent, whilst his affectionate wife did all to make their newly built beautiful home a cozy corner, a "Home sweet home." Both were a true edification by their most regular attending Sunday after Sunday, morning and evening to their religious duties at St. Anthony's Catholic Church and not a little share was due them for the steady growth of that young congregation. The funeral service will take place at St. Anthony's to-morrow Sunday at 4:30 p. m. and start thereafter for Laurel Grove Cemetery. The earnest prayers of all the congregation ascend to heaven to implore eternal peace and light on his immortal soul. K. I. P. Special Notice Last meeting of the P.

BOXING CONTEST AT LIN COLN PARK JULY 4 Joe Jeannett vs. Nat Dewey On Independence Day, Savannah will be one of the most important cities in the country, from a pugilistic standpoint, because of the fact that two of the premier heavy weight fighters in America will battle here for supremacy. The two fighters who on that day will cause the lovers of the fistic arena throughout the country to turn their eyes toward this city are Joe Jeannette of New York and Nat Dewey of Cheyenne, Wyoming, and they are matched to fight a ten round contest at Lincoln park. The fight has been very widely advertised throughout this state, Florida and South Carolina and a tremendous crowd is expected to witness it. Jeannette is one of the best known Negro heavy weights in the world and is a member of the famous black quartette, composed of Johnson, Sam Langford, Sam McVey and himself, who have put to route all of the aspiring "white hopes." His record is one of the finest of which any of the fighters of the present day can boast and his appearance in Savannah will be of special interest to the followers of the game in Georgia. He is the most prominent fighter that has ever fought in this state. Aside from defeating many of the minor fighters of the present days, he has fought several draws with Jack Johnson, Sam Langford and McVey Nat Dewey is one of the hardest fighters who has over been seen in this part of the country. Several weeks ago he defeated Ike Griffin at Lincoln Park after only a few licks were passed. He is well-known throughout the country and especially in the west. He has fought Jeannette several times in the past few years and the latter has only won by a close decision. The arena for the battle is now being erected by Messrs. Joe Jennings and W. J. Stiles who are promoting the fight, at Lincoln Park and will seat about five thousand persons, and owing to the reduced rates on the railroads on July fourth it is confidently expected that every seat will be taken. The contest will commence at six o'clock and will be preceded by several interesting preliminaries. Jeannette and his manager ar- J. rived in the city on Friday night and the former can be seen in training Monday afternoon at the Savannah Athletic Club, and on Monday night he will be introduced at the Pekin Theatre. This is to certify that J. M. Northington is now connected with the Mechanics Savings Bank, 139 Barnard street. Henry Pearson, Pres. F. D. Tucker, Cashier. Mrs. R.

Cruiser Tacoma, committed suicide with a bullet through his heart, on Oglethorpe avenue near Price, Wednesday afternoon. --- George Firman andEugene Deyter, two white mariners from Port Royal, attempted to escape from the city barracks by digging out the mortar between the bricks. They were foiled in their attempt. They are charged with desertion. The late Judge Norwood left an estate valued at $500,000. Dr. H. C. Shuptrine was elected to succeed Editor P. A. Stovall as member of the legislature. Edmond Jackson, a six year old white boy, was bitten by a rattlesnake while picking huckleberries on Tuesday near Bethesda. He died Wednesday afternoon from its effect. Mr. Paul Robertson has entered suit against the Central of Georgia for $30,000 on account of lost of sight caused by being put to work in a car that was loaded with poisonous fertilizer materials. Suggestion has been made for the use of the market basement by the hucksters thus keeping the walks around the market clear. --- The Search I'd seen the years allotted unto man, And, looking back across the dizzy span O'er which I came,—the sorrows and the strife, I thought to make the query, "What is life." I thought me of myself to seek the quest, To find it aught of wisdom I possessed The riddle to unwind, my mind grew blank And, like a cringing slave, my wisdom shrank. I hied me to a thoroughfare now, nigh, That was alive with many passersby,— Some groomed for ill and some with good intent, Some otherwise, mayhaps, on mischief bent. And when I sat to rest me for apace, There came a maid, with all absorbing grace. "O, what is life?" I asked the maiden fair, Like a wild fawn, she timidly drew near. And in a tone so soft and sweet and low I would that it were uttered o'er and o'er: "Two links of chain, one deeply fixed to me. The other clinched onto Eternity, And that is life." Although the answer was of wisdom real, I thought me from it to take appeal; "O, what is life," I asked a careless boy, Whose very soul seemed bubbling o'er with joy He fixed his cap the better o'er his eye, And in his vane, he ventured a reply: "A round of fun, and everything that's nice. In summer, streams, in winter, skates and ice And that is life." This answer did not moyeme with surprise, But rather drew a tear-drop from my eyes; For I had found through life's swift, fleeting years, That fun and folly are harbingers of tears. I marked a soul by age and weakness bent, And, satisfied, he had the answer pent In his broad brow, being free from toil and strife— I asked of him, "My Comrade, what is Life?" With faltering steps he slowly came me near, Shielding the ear the better thus to hear; In measured tones and words untouched by dread, He boldly spoke. These are the words he said: "Life unto me is labor, love and light, And preparation for the final fight, 'Gainst weakness, age, human infirmity, To reach the goal—a blest eternity.'" This answer was of wisdom, true apart, And sent a thrill of joy unto my hear; But ere I closed, the while, my final page. Thought I to make the quest of middle age. "O, what is life?" I asked a widow, clad In sonibre robes, with face both wan and sad. She tossed the reed from her pale brow aside, And with soft accents, thus to me replied: "A float on the sea of Time—a mere vapor, A light on the lea from a flickering taper A taste of the pain of a severance deep wept, A trace of the stain on a face tears swept And that is Life." Edward Winfred Sherman, In Sav'h Tribune. Portinant Sport "Double's word is as good as his bond." "Exactly. How good is his bond?"—Houston.Post Woman's World M XOXO HARBOO WARD Miss Harriet Ware, the young American composer, is now recognized among the foremost women composers of the world. Her work has been published only a few years, but from childhood she has expressed herself in musical composition. When a young girl Miss Ware appeared as a concert pianist and won great praise for her interpretations of Bach. Later, during her study in Paris, she developed a sweet, true singing voice, and since then she has been a deep student of the art of singing. It is this quality of pianistic ability, added to the understanding of the singing voice, which makes her songs a universal appeal to great artists and the public. Her "Boat Song" and "The Cross," the words of the latter written by Edwin Markham; the "Hindu Slumber Song" and the "Sunlight Waltz" are some of Miss Ware's compositions that are to be found on the programs of famous vocal artists. Miss Ware's more ambitions works are the cantatas "Sir Olaf" and "Undine," which were recently given in New York city with a chorus of 500 picked voices. Miss Ware is a born naturalist, and her thoughts follow the suggestions of nature of melody and of rhythm, and she is not in sympathy with the modern trend of music, although this young composer is not insensible to the sincerity of men like Debussy, but she is restive at the thought of an imitative school of followers who acquire his theories without his genius. "I must be absolutely myself," she says, "and I think there are both sanity and wholesomeness in American genius." Watchman For Her Neighbors. A girl who was obliged to be a stay at home each summer because the contents of her slim purse would not allow her any vacation conceived the idea one summer of acting as "watch woman" for her wealthy neighbors who went away each summer and closed up their houses. They paid her well for her services, as they knew she was honest, reliable and conscientious in her duties. She kept the keys to their homes in her possession, as well as the addresses and long distance phone numbers of the owners, so that she could notify them immediately if anything went wrong, such as fire, burglary, etc. Every day she went the rounds of inspection, going through each house to see that everything was undisturbed and locking it securely on leaving. At Summer Resorts. A young woman clever in the use of water colors has for several summers made a substantial sum of money by painting sets of paper dolls and offering them for sale in exclusive summer hotels. They create a perfect furore among the little girls, who are eager to buy each new set as it appears, and in most cases the hotel management has been quite willing to handle them at the candy or cigar counters free of charge. It is always a problem to know how to amuse the children at summer resorts, and the grownups welcome so clean and quiet an occupation as paper dolls. High school girls would find this an easy way to secure extra frocks or frills for commencement time. English Peeress Becomes Editor The first peeress to become an editor is the Marchloness Townshend, who has been selected in that capacity by the new magazine Our Dumb Friends. The first number was recently issued for private circulation. It is understood that to make the magazine pay there will be other features than those pertaining to animals, such as a social department and a sporting page "featuring" particularly dog and horse exhibitions, all of which will be under the direct supervision of Lady Townshend. For the Children 15 Time was, not so very long ago, when the boys and the girls, too, for that matter, thought there couldn't be a Fourth of July without a great note of bursting firecrackers and other dangerous and loud, banging fireworks. Now things are quite different. So many children were killed and seriously injured, so much property destroyed, that a safer way of celebrating the Declaration of Independence was evolved. We still have parades and music and flags and fireworks, but the latter are handled only by men who know the dangerous properties of gunpowder. The flag of our country is surely inspiration enough for patriotic children, and the "stars and stripes" can be used in many ways to celebrate the nation's birthday. The two patriots in the picture have a good idea of the decorative effects of Old Glory and have made a striking picture as their tribute to the birthday of freedom. Games For the Fourth Lawn hunts are splendid games for a Fourth of July party. For a contest hunt, for example, dozens of pieces of white note paper, each with a question of some kind, are hidden all over the lawn, in the bushes, hedges, the rustic seats, the flower borders—everywhere. Some of them have quotations on them, with a request for the author's name; some have a bit of bark or a leaf wrapped up in them and a demand for its source and name; some have the name of a tune and a request that the finder sing it, and so on. The one who finds the most papers and answers them correctly wins a prize. The peanut hunt calls for any quantity of peanuts. Some are wrapped in blue tissue paper, some in pink, some in white, and then they are hidden all over the lawn, the blue ones always in the hardest places. The hunter who finds the most blue wrapped peanuts wins a prize. A heart hunt needs dozens of little red cardboard hearts, to be hidden about the lawn. A dozen slightly larger ones are cut irregularly in half and the halves hidden apart from each other. Each player finding a plain heart counts one; any player finding the two halves of a large heart, which fit together properly, counts 20, and the one counting the highest at the end of the game wins the prize. Conundrums When is a theatrical manager like an astronomer? When he discovers a new star. Why do planos bear the noblest characters? Because they are grand, upright and square. Why is the letter "y" like a young spendthrift? Because it makes pa pay. Why is a drawn tooth like a thing forgotten? Because it is out of the head. What is that which is often brought to table, often cut, but never eaten? A pack of cards. What is that which lives in winter, dies in summer and grows with its root upward? An icicle. What is the military definition of a kliss? A report at headquarters. Why the Fourth Was Made. Now, listen, dolly, while I tell about this glorious day. Why all the folks for miles around rejoice and shout "Hurray!" You know, long, many years ago—I can't remember dates— My gran'd dad went to war one day with all his loyal mates. Fierce fights were fought, and cannons roared, and bullets flew like dust, And still he fought, my gran'd dad did, for quell the foe he must. He was the very bravest man that ever held a gun. Not all the famous generals, doll, were braver—no, not one. My gran'd dad led his regiment through storms of fire and shot. A holdup to 'member him, who never was afraid. So don't you listen, dolly, dear, to what the neighbors say. They'll tell you that the Fourth is just called Independence day Because long 'fore gran'd dad lived the English owned the land. And so the poor Colonials they formed a rebel band And signed a declaration that they'd independent be. And that is how America is now so brave and free. But you and I, my dolly, can't understand these things. So we'll remember gran'd dad all the celebration brings. And really, now, I do believe, 'twould be a day forlorn If on the Fourth my gran'd dad hadn't happened to be born. INSURANCE GEOGRA- PHY When is a man most confused? When he misses his train.

Vanity Bags Are Dainty and Extremely Useful. Many of your young friends will graduate this year, and you are no doubt wondering what to give them. Why not make them each a vanity bag? Vanity bags are dainty and extremely useful; therefore any girl would be delighted to possess one. It requires twelve inches of four inch wide ribbon of a plain design. Baste an inch wide hem at each end and embroider a row of brier stitching an inch from the edge on all sides of the ribbon. Fold the ends over and neatly whipstitch the sides together. Thread narrow satin ribbon through the top to form a drawstring and finish the ends with rosettes of the ribbon. If desired the center of the tiny vanity bag can be decorated with an embroidered monogram or a wreath of forgettenots and foliage embroidered with pale pink, blue or white silk to match the ribbon used. This latter makes an especially dainty decoration and is easily done, as the flowers are not padded. A wreath formed of miniature rosebuds, daisies or violets would be equally effective. Within the bag place a handkerchief, tiny mirror, powder puff, cake of powder and a piece of pinked flannel containing black and white pins. This little vanity bag can be placed in the pocket of the evening cont or in the muff and is always ready to aid milady when the occasion demands. Cotton Blouses Very Simple. The smartest of summer blouses in cotton materials is a very neat but coquettish affair. If there is any trimming at all it is down the front in a straight untrimmed piece of lace or embroidery. Nearly all of these new waists open in front, and often there is only a group of plin tucks about the opening, with a ruffle that is broad at CAROLYN BLOUSE OF CREPE DE CHINE.AND HAND EMBROIDERY. the neck, becoming narrower as it reaches the bust and vanishing entirely at the waist belt. The dressiest of the new blouses are beautified with a great deal of hem- stitching, the holes coarse and the thread large. The kimono shape is much in evidence, with the yoke run- ning down the entire length of the top of the sleeve or finishing in a rounded or pointed piece just below the armhole. The sleeves vary in length from elbow to full length. Touch of Color on White. The fashionable summer idea is the white costume with a touch of color. It sometimes comes in a border print or embroidery, again as a girdle or collar or as a decorative button. Sometimes the color is seen in the weave, a yarn of bright color intermingling with white. Night Light For a Sick Room. Take an ordinary wax candle and burn until the taper becomes level; then put out the flame and cover the top with a layer of salt, leaving only the blackened end of the wick exposed. It will give out a faint but steady light. --- SAVING MONEY IS A HABIT Get the habit of saving a part of your Earnings each week. $1.00 Starts an Account THE WAGE- EARNERS' LOAN AND INVESTMENT COMPANY, 408 WESTBROAD ST.

GRAHAM 625 York St. West Courteous Attention All Among the Masons Last Sunday was observed as St. John's day. The Grand Chapter, Order of Eastern Star meets in Waycross Wednesday, August 6 at 9 a.m. No doubt there will be a large gathering. Despite the storm of last Sunday afternoon, a goodly number of the brethren attended the St. John's exercises at the temple. The address by Rev. Redd and the sermon by Rev. Singleton were well received. Only pleasant echoes are being heard of the recent Grand Lodge communication. The Grand Lodge of Alabama has purchased a farm of 283 acres at a cost of $15,998.50 on which to erect a Masonic Home. The funds on hand amount to $54,-992.57. Masonry is to-day, and has always been, the most influential agency for the moral uplifting of man. Educating man as an individual, educates the nation, for the individual citizen must be good to have a good nation. If we would keep our Order where it should stand at the head of all secret orders for women, as the Masonic fraternity stands at the head of all secret orders for men, we must keep closer to our Ritual and Constitution.—Cora B. Putman, Maine When we shall have learned to persuade ourselves to resign our own interest to another's advantage, when we can respect each other's opinions and be tolerant of each other's errors, then will life and light become the one great law of the universe and its eternal harmony. I laud Freemasonry sincerely not as a matter of rhetoric. I see its symmetry; I see its principles of friendship, morality and brotherly love cementing together people of every nation and every clime. I see its beauties flashing out in all directions, like meteors lighting up the path of toiling humanity; I see that its teachings are making men loyal citizens and true to the issues that come before them.—Rey. Edward A. Houston, Massachusetts. The little acts of kindness we might have done—the gentle words of comfort we might have spoken—but we waited, alas, until it was too late. Why, oh, why can we not make glad the hearts of friends and loved ones while it is yet time, while love beams from the eye, and affection sparkles in the face, why do we not speak the tender words that will fall so gently upon grateful cars—that will linger long in the chambers of memory? Our business—our pleasures—our selfish interest—these demand our time, to the exclusion of all that makes life beautiful and gladdens the human hearts. Oh, the pity of it! This earth might be a Paradise indeed if we but did our part to make it so. And then comes regret—too late.—Herald. The lodges of Atlanta met in their temple Sunday the 22nd, at three o'clock and proceeded to Liberty Baptist church, where they listened to an able sermon by the Rev. Doctor Jackson, a member of the jurisdiction of Arkansas. His text was from Matthew 11th chapter and the 11th verse, "Verily I say unto you, among them that are born of women there hath not risen a greater than John the Baptist." The occasion was the sacred celebration of Saint John's day. The church was filled to the doors. There were over three hundred brethren present and all went away saying it was good to be there. Dr. Jackson delivered a great message to the delight of all present. Grand Master Butler was present with the brethren for the first time in several years as he has generally spent that day with the brethren in other parts of the jurisdiction. An interesting feature durieg the services was the introduction of Mr. J. L. Dickerson a member of the jurisdiction of Mass., who had the pleasure of sitting in a Masonic lodge in London, England. He was introduced by Grand Master Butler who said the compacts call us state right, but from to day's program it was evident tha, we were international and world wide. The preacher is a member of Ark., jurisdiction and we have here a Bro. of Mass., Jurisdiction and he has visited the lodges in foreign countries: The occasion was insyireing one. Sunday June twenty third St. Mark's Lodge No. 59, A. F. and A. M., Dawson, Ga., celebrated St. John's day at the above named church, W. M., J. W. Weston presiding. Promptly at eleven forty five o'clock the lodge left the Masonic Temple, with three hundred men strong, led by Tyler B. J. Jackson and Marshall Dr. T. P. Parks. Upon arriving at the church, the exercises began with a fervent prayer from the chaplain and song service, after which the worshipful master arose and stated that we had with us the sisters of the Eastern Star, who had a program to be carried out, and, therefore, he would turn the house over to the royal matron. Sister Mattie May Porter was presented to the vast audience to deliver an address, subject, "Charity." With burning eloquence this thoughtful woman delivered one of the most interesting addresses ever delivered in this section of the country, Among the many things she said, "Charity is love, the great light of intelligence is only the fruitage of charity, compells man to love his brother and respect and obey his Creator; and, too, it was for no other reason than charity that Jesus Christ came down and died that man may live." Sister H. V. Williams was next introduced and read a paper from the subject "Motherhood." The sister gave us some valuable thoughts, which if put into practice the race would be greatly benefited. She said, "A mother's first duty is in the home; to see that her child has the right training at home first, that the work at home she is supposed to do is the foundation of a useful girl or boy." She further said that a mother has the job of raising the worshipful masters and royal matrons, which is very important. She closed with an eloquent plea to the mothers to put a stop to the practice of the boys going to the bar rooms and the girls to the back alleys. Sister P. E. Davis was next introduced, her subject was "The Star of Bethlehem." The good sister very plainly discussed this subject, informing us as to the time the star was seen first, the music that was heard by the wise men, and the great announcement of the birth of Christ. She then spoke of the Order of the Eastern Star, how according to the principles thereof we would be led to the beautiful gates of Jerusalem. The five points were ably discussed, how brightly and how visibly this star could be seen in our many homes was very impressively pointed out to the satisfaction of those present. Then Sister Annie Styles sang "Will there be any Stars in my Crown." The audience joyfully joined in and helped her sing it, which made many feel like it was good for them to have been there. At this point W. M., J. W. Weston, in well chosen words presented Dr. A. C. Linton, who delivered the annual sermon. He chose the 2nd chapter of Kings and the 2nd verse, and the 9th chapter of Chronicles 6th verse as a text, subject "The unswerving fidelity of good men and women." He told of the early history of "thanksgiving" and its particular bearing on Masonic customs. After exhorting all to live up to the beautiful Masonic teachings and to follow in the footsteps of the Lord, he told of the building of the temple by Solomon and the growth of Masonry in the world. He further told of the first opening of the doors of Masonry to the Negro in the United States, in March 1777 at Boston, Mass., and that since then thousands of lodges have been set up, but there are no evidences to show that any excels St. Mark's. The doctor then said that men of influence draw good men into the society, and persuaded them to keep their vows and remember the ancient custom of eight hours to serve God, and be sure and give Him His time and prosperity would be theirs. Again he said that from a business stand point he believed that we ought to buy land, trade and invest our surplus monies in real estate. He said that we should see to it that we teach our children their duty towards their God, neighbor and fellowman, and, too, he said another reason why we should feel thankful was that the grand old order never changes her pass-word. In conclusion he very eloquently appealed to the Craft and the Star to be men and women of God, with back bone. The delivery of this sermon had quite a tendency to make all feel good and while-hearty amens were going up in the front pews, squeaks for mercy were heard from the rear. Immediately afterwards the chaplain sang a familiar hymn, then a few remarks from Brother W. E. Bailey, and a collection of $7.25 was taken up for the church, thus closing the most wonderful Masonic public meetings ever held in the history of the lodge. Jas. G. Seward, reporter. FOR YOUNG FOLKS Girls Can Play Baseball When They Wish to Learn. AN EXPERT WITH PADDED MIT. Healthfulness of Exercise In the Open. Girls at Van Cortlandt Park, New York—The Boy With a Queer Name. Riddles and Games. Girls, as a rule, do not care much to play baseball, although most of them like to watch a game in which their brothers, and acquaintances are taking part. Perhaps girls do not care to play because they lack the knack of throwing the ball. When they do acquire this art, however, and can throw overhand with precision girls do about as well as boys. In Van Cortlandt park, New York city, on Saturday and holidays numbers of girls and young women can be THE WORLD'S FIRST WOMAN seen handling a ball with as great skill as their male companions. They can send a ball on a line with the real masculine throw, long supposed to be an impossibility for the gentler sex. The girl in the picture was snapped by the photographer as she was reaching for a throw. You can see that she, handles her glove like a real ball player. There were several girls on the field fully as skillful, but she was the only one caught by the camera. Exercise in the open is necessary to robust health, and the young people of both sexes should take advantage of the summer season to strengthen their muscles and inflate their lungs. The Boy With a Queer Name. Little "I will" was a very small boy with the sweetest face any one could wish to see, and under his white blouse, with its big sailor collar, beat the sweetest little heart that ever grew. Of course "I will" had another name. His "really truly" name he would have told you was Louis, but those who knew him thought that "I will" suited him better. "Dear," mother would say, "will you run upstairs and get my scissors? You will find them on the sewing machine." "I will, I will!" would sing out the pleasant little voice, and in a twinkling the scissors would be put in mother's hand. Or father would say: "Louls, gather up your toys. It is almost supper time." "I will!" would come the smiling answer. Dear little "I will!" He is a big boy now, big enough to study Latin and all sorts of other hard things, but the sunshine of his merry baby ways has never faded from hismother's heart. What a pity there is not a little "I will!" in every home!-Sunbeam. Games of Portrait- In the game called portrait one person leaves the room, while the others choose the name of some one they all know. The person on entering the room has to guess the name selected by asking questions to be answered by "yes" or "no." For instance: "Is she married?" "No." "Have I seen her today?" "Yes." "Has she fair hair?" "No." Sometimes the company choose the one who went outside for the "portrait" and the guessing is more difficult. Riddles and Anawars. When is a soldier not half a soldier?

Everything of the latest style William Cook of Orpington, England, is the originator of nine different varieties of Orpingtons. Mr. Cook claims to have produced the White Orpington through a succession of crosses of White Leghorns and Black Minorcas, white pullets from these crosses being bred to White Dorking cocks. A good horse is altogether too high priced a proposition these days to risk doing it a permanent shoulder injury by using a cheap and ill fitting collar. The cheapest kind of a plug should have a good collar, simply from the standpoint of work to be got out of it. What is true of the plug is doubly true of a valuable animal. The state of Iowa has taken a decided step ahead in the matter of encouraging education in her rural and small town schools by the passage of a law which grants $750 annually to high schools that teach domestic science and agriculture, $500 to four room schools in consolidated districts and $250 to two room schools operating under the same conditions.

The treatment referred to will prevent scab, provided the potatoes are planted on soil that is free from spores of the scab fungus.
