'SAVANNAH, GEORGIA, SATURDAY DECEMBER 25TH 1915
ABOUT 300 PERSONS CONTRIBUTED TO THE HAPPINESS OF THE UNFORTUNATE
Gifts Distributed Yesterday Morning
Poor of the City Ministered Unto by Ladies of the League—Display of Gifts in Wages Attracted Much Attention—Over Four Hundred Dollars Raised for Cause.
Never before in the history of the city was charity so generously and thoroughly dispensed by Negroes as during the ruletide season this year. Hundreds of families who otherwise would be in want and without even a semblance of Christmas cheer in their homes are to-day able to enjoy the blessedness of the season not only in spirit but in body as well, and all this because of the efforts of the local branch of the National League on Urban Conditions Among Negroes.
As for the past two years, the league raised a Christmas fund, thru subscriptions, for the benefit of the poor and indigent and by this means was able to secure an amount in the excess of four hundred dollars aside from numerous pieces of clothing, merchandise and other things contributed by friends and merchants. In all, the league was able to make donations to the poor, which will amount to about six hundred dollars in merchandise and cash subscriptions. There were approximately three hundred persons who contributed to this fund, the number of individual donors being about the same as last year.
The work of fixing up and distributing the four hundred baskets, toys, clothing, etc., was done by ladies of the league who toiled laboriously Wednesday and Thursday getting the food stuff packed in bags and baskets The ladies were "on the job" early yesterday morning and by 2 o'clock in the afternoon most of them had gone the rounds of their districts and were on their way home. For the distribution twelve wagons and one automobile were utilized, each of the 13 districts in which the city was divided being given a vehicle. The loading of the wagons at West Broad and Waldburge fame attracted the attention of all passerby and many were the words of praise which the league received for its remembrance of the poor at this particular time of the year.
These were in all about six hundred families who were the recipients of the league's Christmas thoughtfulness. Into the homes of four hundred went baskets, each containing sugar, rice grits, apples, oranges, flour, meat, meal, candy, coffee and potatoes while the remaining 200 homes were remembered by clothing, toys, shoes or some other article which the ladies found was needed.
Sunshine and happiness followed the ladies as they went about their districts from house to house giving out the gifts and the name of the Urban League has been indelibly stamped into the hearts of the hundreds of poor, unfortunate persons into whose homes it has carried a touch of human sympathy.

MAJ. MOTON NEW HEAD OF TUSKEGEE
WILL SUCCEED THE LATE BOOKER T. WASHINGTON
Chosen by Committee—Has Been on The Faculty of Hampton Institute For Many Years.
New York, Dec. 20.—Robert R. Moton of Hampton Normal and Industrial Institute, Hampton, Va., was selected to succeed Booker T. Washington as President of Tuskegee Institute, Tuskegee, Ala., at a meeting of the special committee of the trustees of the institute here today. The choice was unanimous.
The committee making the selection was composed of Seth Low, chairman of the Tuskegee trustees; Frank Trumbull of the Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad; Edgar A. Banneroff, W. W. Campbell and Victor H. Tulane. Motion will not be installed as head of the famous Negro institute until the commencement everices in May, 1916. Until that time he will give his services to the campaign for the Booker T. Washington memorial fund. In a statement issued by the committee it is declared that by the election of Moton, "the policies, aims and attitude of the institute will continue unchanged."
The committee issued a statement paying tribute to the ability of Emmet J. Scott, temporarily head of the institute since the death of Dr. Washington, and who was one of those suggested to succeed him.
Moton is a Negro of unmixed blood, tracing his ancestry back to African slave days. He was born in Amelia county, Va., in 1867, and spent his early years at "Pleasant Shade" as the Vaughan plantation was called. His mother was cook at the big house and his father led the hands on the plantation. He was sent to a free school opened in the neighborhood and after his first taste of knowledge he became ambitions to go to Hampton Institute Entering the institute in 1885, he graduated five years later and was prevailed upon by Gen. Armstrong to remain a drill master and assistant to, the commandant of the cadets. Shortly afterward he became commandant, a position which he has held to the present day. Moton and Washington were intimate friends, admired and respected each other's abilities and were heartily agreed as to the best methods of dealing with the race problem.
Both in his speeches and his writings Moton has the resputation for an ability to get right at the heart of the Negro question in a way that has won the respect of both races. In a commencement address at Tuskegee in 1912 he said:
"You and I belong to an undeveloped backward race that is rarely for its own sake taken into account in the adjustment of man's relation to man, but is considered largely with reference to the impression which it makes upon the dominant Anglo-Saxon. The question which the American nation must face and which the Negro as a part of nation should soberly and dispassionately consider, is the mutual, social, civil and industrial adjustment upon common ground of two races."
He said the Negro as a race must grasp three fundamental facts—race consciousness, a high moral ideal and intelligent industry. "We talk about the color line—you know and I know," he said, "that the blackest Negro in Alabama or Mississippi or Africa, or anywhere else who puts the same amount of skill and energy into his farm ing gets as large returns from his labor as the whitest Anglo-Saxon."
COOPER—QUARTERMAN
Mrs. Olivia G. Cooper and Mr. James A. Quarterman were quietly married on Tuesday evening 14 at the parsonage of St. Philip A. M. E. Church. The pastor, Rev. R. H. Singleton, officiated.
DR. EVANS LIKELY TO WIN OUT IN SCHOOL FIGHT
By R. W. Thomas
Washington, D. C.—The mandamus proceedings instituted by Dr. W. Bruce Evans against the board of education, to compel that body to restore him to his position as principal of the Armstrong Manual Training school, on the ground that he was deposed contrary to law, is being contended in the District Supreme Court, Justice W. P. Stafford presiding. The fourth session was held last Tuesday, and the chief witness, Assistant Rescoe Conkling Bruce, upon whose recommendation Dr. Evans was dismissed, has been subjected to a grilling, the like of which has rarely been experienced in the history of the court. Under the seathing interrogation Justice Stafford, whose insistence that the truth and nothing but the truth be told, has kept the hearing upon a high plane, Mr. Bruce cut a sorry figure on the stand. His testimony in three sessions has been insincere and unconvincing. The circumstances under which the charges of "incompetency" on the part of Evans were based have been shown to be of the most trivial consequence, and for the most part, absolutely untrue. More than once Justice Stafford was compelled to admonish Mr. Bruce to answer the questions squarely, when the purpose of the witness was to evade or confuse the issue. Flat contradictions in Bruce's testimony were pointed out by the presiding justice and on cross examination, Mr. Birney, representing Dr. Evans, literally tore the Bruce fabrication to tatters, placing him high and dry in the "Ananias Club."
Some person or persons, for selfish reasons, are said to be circulating a report that the primary objection of the District Commissioners in making their recommendation that the authority over the public school system be centralized and readjusted on improved lines, is to eliminate the coloured members from the board of education and to remove the Negro from managerial positions in the schools. From the highest possible source we learn that nothing of this sought actuated the commissioners in making their recommendations looking to a change in existing methods.
Beware of Unauthorized Publication,
Since the death of Dr. Booker T.
Washington numerous enterprises have
been started and publications have been
advertized as "officially authorized"
to be operated or issued in his name.
Books are being offered for sale, purporting to have been written by him.
Dr. Washington has written no books of his life, other than "Up from Slavery," published by Doubleday, Page & Co. and "The Story of My Life and Work," by J. L. Nichols & Co. of Naperville, Ill.
As a matter of fact, the really authorized publication of Dr. Washington's life and work, brought up to the end of his career and carrying history hitherto unpublished and unavailable to others, is being prepared by his secretary, Emmett J. Scott and Lyman Beecher Stowe, grand son of Harriet Beecher Stowe, and will be issued next spring from the press of Doubleday, Page & Co.
"The Bachelors" Give "Assembly"
The recent Assembly, given by the Bachelor Society Dancing Class at the auditorium, was the most recherche affair of the month, and was in many respects the most enjoyable of the series presented by this unique organization.
Many strangers were present, among them the Misses Lindberry, Mitchell Hughes, of Baltimore, Misses Louise Brooks and Louise Young of Philadelphia, and Miss Stratton, of New York. Prof. Herman Bermolet-Moens, the noted European scientist, was one of the distinguished guests. He said he had never before in his career seen so many different types of young ladies and of such beauty and charm. During intermission, while refreshments were being served, Dr. Bismarck R. Pinchback, gave a demonstration of a few of the late steps in the canter waltze and the one-step. Addison N. Schurlock, the photographer, took a flashlight of the scene. Mr. Jay William Clifford, well known in society circles in the East, is president of the Bachelor Club.
The next affair will be given during the Christmas holiday season, and it is rumored that it will be a "break

ATTRACTIVE SETS FUR
Qualnt Muff Shapes and Becoming Neckpieces of Velvet, Plush, or Fur
FASCINATING CAPS TO MATCH
New York, December 22—Just as the tinkling of sleighbells delighted the hearts of the children and grown-ups of yesterday, so are we of to-day enraptured with the thought of winter, when tiny coasters may once more be brought into use, and the snow king, zealously guards his domain—mountains and streams in glittering snow- clad loveliness.
For these days of sleighing and skating, not forgetting the gorgeous wintry mornings when a brisk walk over frozen paths brings a glow to our cheeks and brightness to our eyes. clothes may play as important a part as for any other occasion.
Attractive Fur Sets
Fashion decreed at the beginning of the season that fur was to be popular, and old Father Winter has approved the notion by sending us a brisk, crisp winter that makes the touch of fur, no matter how small or how large, quite consistent.
© MCCALL
Melon Muff & Puritan Collar of Plush In muffs and neckpieces there is wide choice both as to models and materials. It is no longer considered "home-made" to carry a muff of velvet, heavy silk or velours, with just a band or two of fur, by way of trimming, or for that matter no fur at all. These sets are often made to match coat or suit; one especially pretty set worn recently with a tailored suit of dark-brown duvetyn. was of silk plush in the same tone as the suit, trimmed with stripes of beaver to match the trimming on the suit. The muff was made in the popular melon shape, the plush being shirred to a very small opening at the hand, and banded with a two inch strip of beaver. A broad Puritan collar of the plush completed the set, and a small hat, with a band of the plush around the edge and a beaver ball on the tip top of the crown, was a chile accompaniment. This set was to be worn with a suit and also with a heavy belted and pocketed top-coat of dark green velours, intended for sleighing, motoring and the like purposes, when warmth was necessary as well as becoming
Another pretty set of close-haired fur, made from an old seal coat, had a barrel muff and the regulation threecarf. This set was completed by a long tasseled cap made of the same material as the loose, box-coat, which was of dark green duvetyn, also banded and cuffed with seal. Gold cord silver and gold lace, is used for the more dressy muffs and neckpieces, and oftentimes there is a metal or velvet rose as an attractive bit of color.
With the awakening of the out-ofdoor spirit there has come a demand for comfortable headgear; not the freakish hats and caps which were introduced when the motoring sad came in, so hideous and unbecoming, but chic, little caps and tams made up in sweater cloth, lamb's wool, the material of the coat or scarf. These caps are extremely youthful and chic, easily made, and the height of comfort.
Sets of cap, scarf, and sports' coat, or sweater, are used for skating, cross-country walking, and motoring. One especially pretty cap with scarf or muffler attached, is being made up in chiffon for summer motoring use: the idea is wonderfully practical, as the full, gathered scarf-end may be brought over the head and face, vell fashion.
protecting the complexion and eyes very efficiently. Leather is being used for these sets quite extensively too; a fur trimmed set of dull red Russian leather, trimmed with sable and combined with a short tab-ended scarf, also trimmed with sable, is unusually smart and becoming. These leather sets may be made at home of suede, or a soft kid. They are practical for many purposes as they are not injured by dust, rain or snow.
O. MCCALL
Barrel Muff and Throw-Scarf of Seal There are some attractive velveteen and velvet sets, also, trimmed with a vividly contrasting color. The Utility Walking-Stick One of the novelties following the popularity of walking, skating, and general out-of-door winter sports is the walking-stick with a soft silken or velvet bag attached for hankerchiefs, powder puff and other articles necessary to Milady's beauty and comfort. Although somewhat extreme these sticks are nevertheless quite practical, especially for mountain climbs and hilly roads.
THE BOOKER T. WASHINGTON MEMORIAL FUND
The trustees of the Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute met at Tuskegee Institute. Ala.. Monday December 13th, and decided to make an effort to raise Two Million Dollars to be known as the "Booker T. Washington Fund of Two Million Dollars" in memory of the late Dr. Booker T. Washington. The statement of the board as issued by Ion. Seth Low. chairman, follows:
Tuskegee Institute is Booker T. Washington's monument, and his fitting memorial is the perpetuation of his great work for the benefit of the colored people and for the promotion of helpful relations between the races. The gap at present existing between the ordinary income of the Institute and its annual outgo is approximately $150,000. It is not desired to close this gap so completely as to make the Institute independent of the interest and support of the living but it is desired to reduce this gap to manageable proportions.
The trustees therefore propose to invite subscriptions to The Booker T. Washington Memorial Fund of Two Million ($2,000,000.00) Dollars for the continuance of the institute and of the work for the Negro race which centers there.
It is hoped and expected that $20,000 of this sum will be given by Negro out of which fund a suitable memorial for Booker. T Washington will be erected on the grounds of the Institute.

SOUTH AGAIN TURNS TO
THE NEGRO COOKS
The south is planning a revival of old-fashioned southern cooking and with it the old time Negro cook—the best in the world, any coloak will tell you—is coming back into her own. The French chef has been tried in the South, together with the French waiter, but, except in a few rare instances, they have failed to satisfy the peculiar demands of the southern epileuro, or even the tourist, who, coming south expect dishes peculiarly southern, and the kind of dining room service the trained Negro waiter can give.
The demand for capable Negro cooks is greater than the supply. Cognitance of this fact has been taken officially by Rock Hill, S. O., where a cooking school for colored women is being conducted, the expenses being borne jointly by the people, through the public schools, and one of the local public utility corporations.

THE SAVANNAH TRIBUNE tion ever raised to the southern Negro cook is that he is wasteful, and this, hoped, will be overcome through the cooking school. In Georgia it is planned that the Georgia Federation of Women's Clubs lend its aid to the revival.
One large southern tourist hotel is advertising now that it employs no foreign help in the kitchen; that the cooking is all done by colored women. Still another has as a feature of its service a little kitchen in plain view of the dining room, where Aunt Dinah is preparing fried chicken. The south may be wholly reconstructed in many ways, but the Negro cook is far from losing her place for her prestige. COLORED PEOPLE TO HONOR MEMORY OF DR. WASHINGTON
Plan Gigantic Campaign to Raise Memorial Fund to perpetuate Work of Tuskegee Institute
New York, December 10.—In the midst of the grief and sorrow which overwhelmed the country following the death of the race's wise counsellor and faithful friend, Dr. Booker T. Washington, no more fitting tribute to his memory has been offered than the hundreds of letters which have been sent to the Tuskegee Institute by admiring colored friends urging that a campaign be at once launched to raise a Booker T. Washington Fund to perpetuate the work of the Tuskegee Institute, and expressing their desire to honor his memory by contributing to such a fund.
The sentiment expressed in all these letters is that the most permanent and enduring monument which can be erected to the memory of Dr. Washington is to make secure the work which he founded and for which he gave the first-fruits of his time and energy.
At a meeting of the Investment Fund Committee of the Board of Trustees which was held in New York City. November 30th to consider the best and most practical way of conserving this interest and directing it in a way to be most satisfactory to the colored people, it was unanimously agreed to appoint Emmett J. Scott, secretary of the Tuskegee Institute, director of a special campaign which will be conducted among the colored people of the United States. Mr. Scott, who was for eighteen years Mr. Washington's confidential secretary and intimate friend enjoys in fullest measure the confidence of the public, and it is safe to predict that Dr. Washington's thousands of friends throughout the country will give this effort their sympathetic sup
port and co-operation. In-order to have unified effort-on the part of the colored people and in order to avoid any division of interest in this movement, it is hoped and urged that all organizations planning a similar effort among the colored people will communicate at once with Mr. Scott at Tuskegee Institute and will defer any action in a national way until the Board of Trustees makes announcement of its plans.

- It seems strange that the hardest lessons that Masons have to learn is the lesson of tolerance—of that charity that sovereth long and is kind, and is the chief boost of our institution. That is the one virtue that justifies its existence.
The moralities that occupy so large a space in our lectures are ours only by adoption. They are in no sense original, and every neophyte is required to possess them before he can be admitted to our band. We teach nothing that is new or exclusively ours. We simply give to our members an opportunity to associate themselves with men of moral character and lofty purpose, and by constantly reminding them of the highest ideals of life and service, strive to keep them keyed up to a high standard of principle and conduct.
But with all the preaching and posing, we are constantly in danger of offending against the cardinal principles of our profession; the brotherly love that overlooks trifling faults and errors; that gives our brother credit for pure motives and honest intentions; that strives to lift him up, rather than throw him down.—Masonie Standard.
Freemasonry interests us in the duties of engagements of humanity; produces an affectionate concern for the welfare of all around us; and, raising us superior to every selfish view, or party prejudice, fills the heart with an unlimited good will to man.—Missouri Freemason.
Every Mason is in honor bound never to mention Jehovah's name but with that reverential awe which is due from a creature to his creator.
Hence no true Mason ever uses God's name in vain. His utter dependence on his Maker should inspire awe, reverence and worship.
Every Mason is in honor bound to avoid all irregularities and vices of life that may inspire his natural faculties and thereby deliver him as a man, a neighbor and as a Mason.
Every Mason is in honor bound to render to his neighbor that just and honest service that he would wish to receive under like circumstances. Every Mason is honor bound to render unto God the things that belong to Him and to man the things that belong to man.
Every Mason is in honor bound to give eight hours each day to God and a distressed brother and his loved ones, eight hours to sleep and refreshment, and eight hours to his common avocations of life.
With this bond resting on him, can a Mason swear profanely, can he be careless in his deportment on life's road, less he give offense to some weaker brother? I think not. Many things may be lawful, but many things are not expedient.
My Brother, read carefully, call the attention of any brother you hear swear or see act disorderly to it. It is your duty before God.
Masonic Landmarks
In a small hanging on one of the beautiful marble columns in the Library of the Masonic Temple at Philadelphia, Pa., are a number of Masonic landmarks which may be accepted as a fair statement of some fundamental principles of Freemasonry. They are reproduced here:
The Moral Law is Masonic Law.
Obedience to lawful authority is inculcated by Masonry.
Masonic qualifications are mental, moral and physical.
Masonic preferment is grounded upon real worth and personal merit only.
Charity should be the distinguishing characteristic of a Mason.
The will of the majority governs for the good of the whole.
Secrecy is indispensable in Masonry.
The Master is the head of the lodge.
In his absence the wardens preside according to rank.
The grand lodge is supreme in its sphere of jurisdiction.
The approbation of God is the highest Masonic honor.
—American Freemason
The man who can't get along with any of his friends (because they are all wrong) will probably find something wrong with the gates of heaven. He can't help but annoy you, but don't let him worry you. He feels worse about the mean things he says than you do. Forget them and forgive him and you'll both feel better.—Masonic News.
The ceremonies are only the shell that contains the kernel of the soul of Freemasonry. A baker sometimes makes poor bread from good flour So in Freemasonry, we often make poor Masons out of good material, because the workmen are not well skilled an dqualified to do the work.—Indian Freemason.
This is the time of year when the Annual Member begins to think of getting his whiskers trimmed preparatory to his election-night visit to the lodge.—Masonic Standard.
The reason Masons become so firmly attached to Eastern Stars is because they have so many fine points—Masonic Sentinel.
Flowers at Funerals
A Mason recently died leaving his widow almost destitute. He was popular with the members of the craft and at the funeral the floral tributes cost hundreds of dollars. At the funeral of another brother recently a floral blanket costing $1,000 was a tribute of a rich friend to the dead. It was said the dead brother's family was not in good financial

WHOLESALE Lord & Taylor NEW YORK
Here is food for thought. Flowers on the grave of the departed do not always testify to the high regard entertained for the dead. Therefore, it would be wise to take into consideration the financial condition of the family when expending money on flowers at the time of death. A few hundred dollars go a long way toward modifying grief when there is a shortage of cash in the family.
If the brethren are called on to contribute to the relief of a distressed widow, they quite frequently are niggardly, and the total contribution is not as large. Add to it the money used in buying flowers and it would be materially augmented--Masoule Chronicle.

AMONG OUR EDITORS
The Detroit Leader chronicles the story of a woman arrested on the charge of insanity whose mouth, when examined by physicians, was set off by gold teeth each containing a diamond. Friends of the inane woman in speaking of the bejeweled teeth blame them for unbalancing the mind. Remarkable in deed, but it is hardly the first time a woman's mind has been turned by diamonds.—Afro-American.
It is much better to own your own home than to pay rent, and the thing is easy if a few dollars a month are placed in a savings bank and kept there for a few years. Let your little son figure it out for you, as to how much you would have by putting one dollar a week in the bank for five years, at four per cent, compound interest. Journal and Guide.
A declaration made two weeks or so ago was not given the prominence it deserved in the wired news. It was that of Alexander H. Revell of Chicago, that he would act in the Republican party. It was Mr. Revell who, working by telegraph hurryly but effectively, formed the nation-wide Progressive organization. As a contributor to the Rosevelt campaign he ranked next to Dan R. Hanna and Joe W. Perkins—Cleveland Gazette
The Dallas Express is more and more convinced that the colored people are altogether too much in evidence outside the bar at the courthouse and altogether too much in evidence inside the bars at the jail house. A little common horse sense will greatly remedy this condition. Let the leaders spend more time discussing the questions which are to be found inside the yard at home and around in the neighborhood. Let them turn their attention to the little questions which affect the getting and holding of a job, of ordinary duties well performed and the time will grow better for the colored man. He must learn to economize, to be quiet, to make himself agreeable in the presence of others and thereby increase for himself the world's respect. It is in this manner and in such a way that the hands on the face of progress will show that he is going forward to the high mark and calling of good citizenship.
The Saying Habit
Those of our people, who conceived the idea of teaching the Negroes of Newport News how to save something of their earnings, have wrought a great deal better than they knew, and from a small beginning are destined to work wonderfully good to us all.
Only one of our banks for the past two years, invited these people to make these saving deposits, but even in that institution, in the short space of 50 weeks, our people, boys, girls, women and men have piled up the enormous sum of $50,000, and we are all happy to learn that the other bank conducted by our people, will inaugurate the plan next year.
It is to be hoped that next year this time, instead of $50,000, we may witness a saving of twice this amount. It is quite evident that the number of people who have seen the importance of making this effort, is greatly on the increase, and many of them are sensible enough to leave much of their savings in the bank for better use, than the throwing it away during the holidays.
When a sensible person saves a small amount and they learn how easily it was done he becomes anxious and determined to do better the next time, and by a little effort on their part, they soon find themselves the possessor of a snug little sum.—The Star.

NEGRO BUSINESS LEAGUE WEEKLY LETTER
We are now verging on the yuletide season which season of good cheer is celebrated by civilized people all over christendom. We are told in holy writ that the heralds of the coming of our blessed Saviour were an angelic host who sang in mid air, and the shepherds minding their flock by night on the plains of Bethlehem heard the christister as he led in the joyful music, the words of which were these: "Glory to God in the highest, peace on earth, good will toward men; this day in the city of David is born the Saviour, who is Christ the Lord." From that eventful day down to the present, all Christendom has been celebrating the day on which our Saviour was born. Some, the thoughtless, celebrate this day in revelry, defilement and intemperance. Others, who are more thoughtful, repair to their various houses of worship and offer a gift, either in songs of praises, alms to the less fortunate ones or a prayer to Him who gave to the world the Saviour of mankind. Enough along this line. We are simply trying to say, in short, that the claims of the less fortunate ones among us, as were urged by the various speakers under the auspices of the Urban League on last Sunday afternoon at the Pekin theatre, should be liberally responded to by every person who will take the time to think of what this great day mean to the world of sinners lost.
Remember Negro Business Men
The various purchases which will be made during this season of good will and Christmas cheer, the purchasers, by all means, should give their own men in business an opportunity to serve them. These men have been of inestimable value as tangible assets to the real worth of the race. The Negro men engaged in business, are the ones who give the race its standing from a commercial view point in this community. These men should be given encouragement and every possible opportunity to prove their rights to serve the Negroes with money in hand to spend, not only during the holiday season, but throughout the whole year. These men give employment in various ways to the deserving young men and young women of the race. They are giving these young people an opportunity to come into their places of business and put into practical use some of the theories they have learned in school. It might prove interesting indeed, to some of our people, who have not taken the time to look into nor even given any serious thought to the splendid creditable pay roll handled by the various corporations, firms and business concerns each week, to members of the race and for members of the race. For these and other good and sufficient reasons we hold, that in making purchases during the holiday that the places of business operated by men and women of the race, should be visited, not for the purpose of making an invidious comparison, but, to at least, make a small purchase of some kind.
Suggestions Offered
Yon, dear reader, may be asking yourself the question now, as to the gift you may feel like making to some friend, which will be of most benefit to him or her and in the mean time, be fully appreciated by your friend, the recipient? In this city there are quite a number of people engaged in various lines from which a common sense selection could be made, and not only your friend who you are directly endervoring to make happy feel the warmth of your love and appreciation for the service rendered; but he, from whom the purchase is made, has a perfect right to feel equally as good, for he too, has been remembered and has been given a portion of your trade. In the Negro drug store of this city, there are many useful things from which to make a selection. In the Negro dry goods store one will find a fine assortment from which to make a splendid selection. From the grocery stores of Young Bros., Joe Causey, Fred Ford, Geo. Bradley and several others whose names I cannot call now, the good women will find that these men can furnish them with many of the ingredients which they must have in the making of their Christmas dinners and their holiday cakes. The house wife who find that she will be too buoy to make her cake at home, would do well to think of Garey's bakery. There are those perhaps who would like to give or send something to a friend out of the city and who may be debating in his or her mind what would be appreciated most. In such a case, why not have Mr. J. W. Johnston, the Negro photographer, or Mr. Jas Collier make a nice picture of yourself, family or home and send it to such a friend? Why not pay a year's subscription to The Savannah Tribune and send it to some out-of-town friend who would appreciate reading a clean, first class, newsy Negro journal? Why not make a deposit in one of the three Negro banks, as a dollar in either one of them would start a savings account, and hand the
---
book with the deposit to some boy or girl with the distinct understanding that they are to add to their account from time to time? Why not pay the premiums on some friend's insurance for two or three months in advance, so as to give such a friend an opportunity to use his or her little change for some other purpose during the time the advance premiums paid by you are affording him or her the proper insurance protection?
Stop for a Moment and Think
Stop for a Moment and Think There are countless ways we may give splendid pleasure to those of our friends and relatives and in the mean time, procure these gifts from men and women of the race who are engaged in business. There may be those who are disposed to get angry and quarrel with members of the race who have not as yet seen their way clear to give their support, patronage and encouragement to the others of us who may be engaged in business, if so, we wish to implore you not to be angry nor allow yourself to quarrel, but on the other hand, go out for the business in a way that such thoughtless ones would realize fully that you business. Stop, look, listen, think Come early to your next meeting. Wednesday night January 5th, as the meeting that evening will be short and to the point. Wage Earners Bank Building, corner Alice and West Broad streets.
Deaths.
Mrs. Fannie Blount
Mrs. Fannie Blount of 917 West 40th street, died in Augusta, Ga., on Friday of last week at 11 o'clock. Mrs. Blount had been very ill for some time. She left the city in August for Augusta, Ga. for her health, where she remained until her death. Mrs. Blount was 47 years of age and is survived by a husband, Mr. Jackson Blount; three daughters, Misses Eloise, Manzella and Erma Blount and two sons, Messrs. Harry and Allie Blount. The remains were brought home on Sunday and the funeral took place on Tuesday afternoon Bolton Street Baptist Church, of which she was a member. The ceremony being conducted by the Rev. Wm. Dunn. Mrs. Blunt was buried with honors of Diamond Court No. 118, O. C. C. and A. L. Stanford Chapter No. 188 O. E. S. Much sympathy is extended the bereaved family by their many friends.
Savannah, Ga., Dec. 21, 1915.
Dear Editor:
Please give us space in your paper to let the people know what the Blackshear district is doing.
The Union A. C. E. League met on last Sunday at Allen Chapel A. M. E. Church and the programme was much enjoyed. The repeating of heart verses from the Bible and the recitation by little Misses Bertha and Mamle Catching of St. Thomas, the papers of Mrs. Rev. S. G. Cain, subject, "Education a Power", were well prepared and enjoyed. The address delivered by Mr. W. H. Thompson, subject "Young Men Running Wild", was quite a treat. The topic was discussed by Bro. Hénakins of Allen Chapel. Timely remarks were given by Revs. Warren, S. G. Cain and Williams and Bro. Cummings. The closing remarks were made by the president, J. H. Stokes. A good collection was taken. The meeting closed to meet on the fifth Sunday in January 1916 at St. Thomas. A. B. Phillips president of Taylor Chapel, local league will address the league on that Sunday, subject, "Preparedness."
AT THE Y. M. C. A.
The following interesting programme was carried out at the Y. M. C. A. on last Sunday: Selection, Apollo Orchestra; solo, Mrs. Blair; musical selection, Miss Ione Monroe; selection, Apollo Orchestra; address, Mr. G. H. Bowen; song, congregation; selection Apollo Orchestra. This excellent programme was rendered before a large audience of both sexes. Special thanks are due President Harper and members of the ladies' auxiliary for these excellent numbers. The address of Mr. Bowen will be remembered as one of force and practical effect.
On tomorrow the ladies auxiliary and the Y. M. C. A. will give a joint programme of music and speeches. The special address will be delivered by Prof. W. D. Thomas of the Ga. State College. Members of both sexes are invited to be present.
IN MEMORY OF OUR ANGEL MOTHER

THE, SAVANNAH TRIBUNE
children. No pain could touch her children which would not wound her heart. Her life was the source from which all our inspiration came; and her guiding hand made us men. In all our sorrows at home and abroad, we always had the sweet sympathy of her soul and her entire confidence. At no time in the history of our lives have we ever had the occasion to feel ashamed of her. If we count for anything at all in the sum total of human endeavors, we owe it to all to her prolific piety and the far-reachedness of her Christian virtues. The most distressing year in all of our lives is this first year we have lived without having the pleasure to consult her about our sorrows and worries. While we loath to give her up we will not lament excessively for we feel that our darling needed and had earned the rest. Like other children who have been benefited, we dare not fly in the face of our Father above, who loves us too well to harm us and from His very nature can do us no harm. We will still be guided by the counsel you gave us while you were with us mother. We cannot see your face and form but wherever we room on land or sea we will always feel that thy gentle spirit hovers about to protect us from harm and guard us against wrong. We shall always strive to be men: good men, useful men feeling that in so doing we will be building a monument to the memory of our mother, darling more enduring than all of the granate and bronze of the ages. These lines are the sentiments of her children and husband and are dedicated, to her sacred memory.

Thou art gone but not forgotten,
Never shall our memory fade;
Loving thoughts shall ever linger,
Round the grave where you are laid.
Peaceful be thy silent slumber,
Peaceful in the grave so low;
Thou no more shall join our number,
Thou no more our songs shall know
Yet again we hope to meet thee,
When the days of life have fled;
Yet in heaven with joy to greet thee,
Where no farewell tears are shed.
His friends,

From sickness and pain;
She is free now forever,
In that land of perfect peace.
Where the walls are Jasper,
The streets are gold and the gates
are pearls;
And the glorious splendors,
Are yet untold
I often think of that happy place,
Where we will meet,
Our beloved mother again,
And behold our Savior's glorious face
Where its joy without a tear.

The Gordian Knot.
When one of Uncle Sam's sailors, a man named Gordon, formerly serving on one of the vessels in a West Indian squadron, was taken to the Naval hospital in Washington he described with grewsome vividness to his companions there his adventure with a shark off one of the islands in the West Indies. "I had jest fell, over the bulwarks," said the able seaman, "when along comes a big shark and grabs me by the leg."
"I never disputes none with sharks," said the sailor. "I let him have the leg."

The Crab in the Oyster.
"The little crab found in the oyster," said a dealer, "is not, as supposed by two-thirds of the oyster eaters, the young of the blue crab, but is a distinct species. It is a messmate of and caterer to the wants of the oyster, being, therefore, a benefit instead of a detriment to the latter. In return for the oyster's kindness in protecting it against its enemies the little crab catches and crushes food which in its entire state could not be taken by the oyster. A singular thing in connection with them is that all found inside of the oyster are females. The male of the same variety has a hard shell."—Exchange.

When Matter Conquered Mind.
Lord Wolseley maintained that Ostend would have been the scene of a desperate battle in 1815 if Napoleon's bodily strength had then provol on a par with his brain power. "The more I study the Waterloo campaign," Wolseley told Grant Duff, "the more highly do I think of Napoleon. If his physical condition and energy had been equal to the powers of his mind, I think he would have succeeded in his design and would first have beaten the Prussians and then driven us back on Ostend. * * * In spite of his odious and contemptible character Napoleon was the greatest man of whom we know anything and quite unlike anybody else."—London Mirror
These Who Buy Them.
The man who can't afford to buy one; the man who prefers to own a good team of thoroughbreds; the man who doesn't mind the first cost. "but it's such an expense to run one;" the man who wouldn't have time to enjoy one the man who would like one all right "only I want to get my place paid for first"—they are all buying cars so fast that the factories can't keep up with orders. Before long there will not be enough pedestrians left to furnish sport for the drivers.—Puck
"Who is that remarkable lootkid man?"
"Himmel! That's the magician who yesterday turned beer into water And they let a man like that go around loose!"--Meggendorfer Blaetter.

This was an effort to meet Paganism

This with many other ancient Va-

Lord “Thou shall not follow the do

With such facts before us, can we

Again I repeat, Christ was not born
in December. December was a winter
mpitth, it was a time of snow and ice
and none could stand before the cold.

king sat in the winter house in. the
ninth month (this corresponds with our
December) and there was fire on the
[hearth burning before Wim. Jer $622.
says Hisop: “Tho the heat of the gay
be comniderable, the cold of the nights
from December to February, is’ very
piercing and it was uot the custom
for shepherds of Judea to watch their
flocks in the open fields later than
about the end of October. It is the last
degree Sneredible then than the Jhirth
of Christ contd have taken place at
the end of December. The Saviour
recoxnizes the inClemency of the winter
iv Matt 24:20, “Pray that your flight

GH in bis commentiny, says, “The

Christ must be born before the middte
of October since the fit: rain was
not yet come.”
This is alo the bible view of it.

This was three and one-half years be

Luke tells us that in bis former

might well be called the record of that
which Jesus continued to do aid each
through His apostles. notably Peter

Nevers at His coming to the earth for
His people (I ‘Thess, iv, 16-18). In the
forty days betw cen His resurrectionand
ascension He showed Himself alive at
least ten times and after his ascension
twice to Paul, also to Stephen and
John. ‘The same Holy Spirit wiio con-
trolled Him before Tis death spake
by Him after His resurrection and, as
always, concerning the kingdum of
God (verses 2, 3),
Note how this book, like the whole
Bible, begins and ends with the king-
dom of God (Acts xxvill, 23. 31), but
observe that the kingdom always
means dominion over all thipgs on. the
whole earth, given to Christ by the
Fither and by Christ shared with His
redeemed. It was at hand and preach-
ed by,Jobn the Paptist and the Lord
Jesus and the twelve and the seventy,
but being violently rejected and the
King crucified It was postponed till He
shall come again, according to Luke
ris, 11, 12; Acts lil, 20, 21. ‘The disci-
ples understood, and rightly, too (verse
6), that the center of the kingdom will
be A restored Israel, for apart from a
righteous Isriel and the throue of the
Lord at Jerusalem the long predicted
kingdom cannot be. The kingdom be-
ing rejected and postponed and the
Ume of the King’s return known only
to God, Me ty gathering from all the
world an elect people who shall reign
with Him when Ue shall come again
to set up His kingdom. ‘This is the
mystery hidden in the ages past and
reveated specially to Paul (Eph. iii,
30). ‘To this end the Moly Spirit has
been specially seut to testify of a risen
and glorified Christ, who is waiting
at the Father's right hand for the
building of His bods, the ehureh, His
Ive, who shall share with Him the
dominion us truly as Rebecca and Ruth
shared with Isaue and Boaz all their
wealth.
‘The dieiples were to wait for the
special power for thjs service and, wit-
nessing the power of the Holy Spirit,
then bear witness for the Lord from
Jerusalem unto the uttermost parts of
the earth.
The great testimony is that Jesus
Christ is risen and alive forevermore
at the right hand of the Fatber and
gladly receiving all who come unto God
py im and are willing to live in the
power of lis resurrection life and help
to gather from all nations His holy
Church.
