Waycross, Ga., Jan. 25.—Waycross opened up her hospitality through the local Negro Business League to six of the leading financiers and business men of Savannah, Wednesday all day, wingling up at night with a reception of magnitude and grandeur. The Savannah party was met at the noonday train by a waiting committee in automobiles. On the arrival of the distinguished men they were taken to dinner at the home of Dr. H. C. Scarlett and Mrs. G. Howard. At 2:30 p. m. auto trip over the city started and lasted three hours. The trip included all points of general interest including stops at Negro business places and a few residences. The Savannahians in the party were Messrs. L. B. Williams, Sol. C. Johnson, A. B. Singfield G. H. Bowen, J. C. Lindsay and Dr. C. B. Tyson. The local professional and business men were Messrs.

Williams, president of the Wage Earners Bank, addressed the directors of the Laborers' Penny Savings and Loan Company, an institution that will formally open business on the first of February 1917. At 8 p. m. McGraw's auditorium presented a rare sight in the largeness of the gathering of people from every walk of life. These people had heard of the success of the Wage Earners Bank and of the recent dignified light in which the Savannah Negro Business League was placed thru its connection with the investigation of the noted James Youngblood case. The people wanted to see and hear the men whose work in Savannah was so solid and far-reaching. Upon short notice the auditorium was a striking scene of interested people and these people were eager to hear much more than was apparent on the program. The evening's program was, however, carried out as follows: Music by the Glee Club; prayer by Rev. I. D. Davis; opening remarks, by the master of ceremonies, Mr. J. W. Johnson; address, "Our Guests", by Dr. G. P. Washington; introduction of Mr. L. E. Williams, president of the Wage Earners Bank, Savannah, Gr., by Mr. Carlton W.

Tyson; response by Dr. H. C. Scarlett. An informal reception was held in the auditorium immediately after the closing of the program, during which time the appreciative audience took advantage of the opportunity to meet and shake hands with the several prominent visitors. Later, however, a stag of some magnitude was held at the palatial residence of Dr. H. C. Scarlett on Reynolds street. Here, a very interesting feature was brought out in the timely toasts offered as follows: "Our City" by Mr. J. C. McGraw? "Our Business" by Dr. J. J. Creach; "The Outlook" by T. C. Williams; "Waycross Hospitality" by Dr. S. D. Cotterel; "The People" by Mr. W. O. Castleberry; "The Press" by Prof. John Henry Adams; "Our Trip" by Dr. C. B. Tyson; "Waycross Impressions" by Mr. Sol.

SAVANNAH, GEORGIA, SATURDAY JANUARY 27TH. 1917 TWO DAYS PROFITABLY SPENT IN JACKSONVILLE AND WAYCROSS Local Business Men Combined Business With Recreation and Are Amply Rewarded On Tuesday morning Messrs, L. E. Williams, president of the Wage Earners Savings Bank; J. C. Lindsay, manager of the Atlanta Mutual Insurance Company; A. B. Singfield, manager of the Pilgrim L. and H. Insurance Company; G. H. Bowen, our hustling real estate dealer; Dr. C. B. Tyson and a Tribune representative left for a flying trip to Jacksonville and Waycross. It was a jolly party, all business cares and anxieties were banished. There was not a dull moment on the train. Arriving at Jacksonville they were met by Mr. W. C. Thomas of Atlanta. At the bank of Chas. H. Anderson & Co. Mr. Anderson gave us a royal welcome and did what he could to make our stay pleasant. In the short time we were there many of the business men were met as well as their places of business visited. The mecca for these enterprises is in the Imposing Masonic temple and its locality, and the locality in the theatre district on Ashly street. In several other sections can be found the business activities of our people, especially that of the Afro-American Insurance company, on East Union street, Mr. A. W. Price, president and the affable Mr. A. L. Lewis, manager. Mr. Lewis made it especially pleasant in an extended auto trip. The shortness of time prevented visits being paid to many friends. On account of business engagements in Waycross, several of the party left Tuesday morning and were joined at night by the others. In Waycross the party was met by several of the professional and business men with autos. After dinner an extended auto trip was given, visiting several points of interest, places of business and well-appointed homes. Waycross is noted for the enterprise and thrift of its colored citizens. In proportion to the population, they own more homes than any other town in the state. Its well-known hospitality was tested and found to be as orthodox as ever, if not more so. In no other locality can there be found a set of business and professional men more solidly alligned. Of the seven doctors they work together like a well oiled clock, and they are setting a pace in this direction that could be very profitably emulated by our professional men in other localities. In this solidarity in action of business and professional men the people of Waycross have an asset for good that they should ever endeavor to maintain and encourage. In this direction especially, they have done much to inspire these visitors, not discounting the cordial hospitality and the personal attention paid. An account of the visit is given in a special article in another column. The party left Thursday morning for home, feeling elated over the trip and not a bit tired from being on a constant go. The colored citizens of Waycross are interested in the organization of the Laborers' Penny Savings and Loan Company. It is capatalized at $10,000.00, and is being organized along practical lines. More than one third of the capital stock has already been paid in with a large number of remaining shares subscribed for. This was considerably augmented at the Wednesday night gathering, and from the outlook it will not be very long before the entire capital stock is subscribed. The officers and promoters of this enterprise are among the foremost professional and business men and citizens of Waycross. They have entered the venture with an enthusiasm that spells success. They enjoy the confidence and esteem of the people, and this alone is one of their beat assets. The officers and directors are Carlton W. Gaines, president; Dr. H. C. Scarlett, vice president; T. C. Williams, secretary; J. C. McGraw, treasurer; L. O. Golden, R. W. Williams, Fisher W. Mosley, Dr. C. C. Strickland, Dr. S. D. Cotterell, E. E. Moore and R. W. Colson Among the visitors was Col. M. C. Parker of Blackshear, who is one of the most prominent and substantial men of that section. Mr. A. M. Steele is spending his vacation in Boston. Mass., visiting his wife, and children. WILL ENTER WASTE PAPER CAMPAIGN STARTED IN SCHOOLS Enthusiasm Shown Supt. Gibson and Others Address Principals and Teachers In his address before the principals and teachers of the colored public schools, at Cuyler Street school, Wednesday, Superintendent Gibson of the city and county schools said that all the progressive influences and modern ideas which are being brought to bear upon the school system of today will extend to all the schools alike. In the matter of music, he said, that if possible, this feature was more essential in the education of colored boys and girls than for white, that it was a necessary element in child education and would be provided in all the colored schools. Just as the matter of permanship is being introduced throughout the system, so must all the new ideas and modern thought in public education be brought within the reach of all the children of the community. Suggesting the great service which the wide-awake and resourceful teacher may render in improving the surroundings and promoting the efficiency of the school service, the superintendent cited the case of one county teacher who had transformed a barren, ill-equipped school plant into a comfortable and efficient one by co-operating with the community. and patrons in providing a better building, individual drinking cups, coat and hat racks and other equipment. Mrs. Chas. Neville outlined the broad purposes of the work of the Huntingdon club in its effort to bring about a greater and more modern city. She told of the community gardens operated by the club last year, and the interest in espousing the waste-paper campaign in the city. She urged the teachers to join in these public movements for the good of all the people and the upbuilding of Savannah. Miss Jane Judge, connected with the Morning News and various other movements of the city, said that all people must get the spirit of public service and that in the securing and enjoying of every public good, all people must unite. She said further, that in promoting the interest of a great city, the whites must not consider their interests as being separate and apart from those of the colored people, but that the idea of co-operation should be emphasized; for we are one city and one people in the work of uplift and community improvement. The plans for conducting the wastepaper-saving campaign among the colored schools were outlined. It was announced that several prizes were offered by the Savannah Paper Balling Company, including a piano, as a school prize, and second, third and fourth prizes of $25, $15 and $10 respectively. Besides these desirable inducements, the children are to be paid for the paper they gather. The schedules of paper collections will be as follows: at East Broad street school on the second and fourth Saturdays of each month at 9 a. m.; at West Broad street school on the first and third Saturdays at 9 a. m.; at Maple street school on the second and fourth Fridays at 4 p. m.; and at Cuyler street school at the first and third Fridays at 4 p. m. It is expected that the children will enter into this contest with a zest, that they will have the assistance and cooperation of their parents, and that, due to the high price of paper, considerable benefit will be derived. It should not be overlooked that this campaign will also go a long way toward securing a more healthy and more beautiful city. These are causes which the Huntingdon club has always advanced in our city and for which they have derived some splendid results. The general interest which these persons representing the leading thought of our community, manifest in the education and uplift of our people will not be lacking in its good results and not with its due appreciation on our part. Mr. Gibson paid a high compliment to the Savannah Tribune, which he said had contributed a great service to education in getting all matters pertaining to the work before the people. He had especially pleased with the tone of uplift which The Tribune had exhibited in all its features. BEAUFORT, S. C. NEWS Capt.

C., Jan 24—A function that established a new standard for such affairs in the social life of the nation's Capitol was the recent celebration of the silver anniversary of the Rev. and Mrs. M. E. D. Norman. This highly unique observance, was held at the beautiful home of the "bride and groom" of a quarter of a century, one of the statelest of the modern homes now owned by the race in this city of magnificent distances. The host of friends of Dr. and Mrs. Norman turned out en masse. The Metropolitan Baptist church of 3,000 members, of which Dr. Norman is pastor, was invited as a unite and cards were also sent some of the churches the doctor had formerly pastored. Besides this, 450 tickets were sent to friends outside of the church, bringing a total number of invited guests up to more than 5,000. No detail was lacking at the Norman mansion to make the affair all that the importance of the occasion demanded. The elegant and spacious salon parlor was tastily decorated with palms and ferns, behind the embankment of which sat an orchestra, which made the hour merry with enchanting strains of music. The color scheme was silver and blue, with touches of pink. Mrs. Norman, radiant with happiness, was very becomingly attired in an exquisite gown of silver cloth, draped with heavy legged silver lace, with an ultra-fashionable wide panel of silver lace insertion in black, reaching from the shoulder to the bottom of the skirt, the whole affair mounted over light blue satin. The ladies in waiting were costumed as follows: Misses Fannle and Amazon Hill, nieces of Mrs. Norman, wore light blue and canary silks, respectively; Mrs. W. R. Richardson, light blue silk, butterfly style; Mrs. P. W. Moore, Elizabeth City, N. C., gray Dutchess satin, with silver trimmings; Mrs. W. A. Sanford, pale pink satin, Dutch style, trimmed with gold lace; Mrs. L. O. Wingfield, pink chiffon satin, with border and handsome gold lace applied; Mrs. J. C. Fountain, black velvet, with metal trimmings; Mrs. W. D. Jarris, gray silk with chiffon; Mrs. W. H. Mitchell, shell pink satin, trimmed with gold lace and ermine fur; Mrs. A. E. Peters, steel gray silk with gold lace trimmings and Mrs. J. H. Randolph, light gray silk, draped with chiffon. Dr. Norman, a perfect type of virile manhood, fitted admirably into the picture, dressed in the conventional black as did also his courtiers of gentlemen friends in line. They were Dr. E. C. Norman, brother of Dr. Norman; Mr. W. H. Mitchell, Rev. Holland Powell, Rev. W. J. Jarvis, Rev. R. V. Randolph, Rev. J. C. Fountain, Mr. E. Peters, Rev. L. D. Best and Rev. G. S. Wormley, of Baltimore. With queenly grace and dignity, acoterie of charming ladies, to the introduction of the guests and extended the freedom of the home, in the name of Mrs. Norman. These ladies were Mrs. Susie B. Saunders, dressed in white ivory satin, corded and bonded; Miss Marie A. D. Madre, LL. R., LL. M., dressed in a very rich Parlisian model of costly lace, spangled with sapphires; and Mrs. Anna Clark Williams, dressed in white tulle, with pink rosebuds, made Dutch style. The Metropolitan church ushers served in both capacities as ushers and waiters, being attired in full dress suits, under the skilled and painstaking management of Mr. Brown. The cloak room, presided over by Mrs. Burden, Miss S. E. Miner and Mrs. Winslow, was handled without an error. The silver room was in charge of Mrs. Eather Wallace, Mrs. Bertha King Miss Annie D. Lindsey, Miss Etta Johnson, Miss Daisy Willey and Mr. King. Mrs. Eliza Washington was inspector of the dining room. The presents received by Dr. and Mrs. Norman made the display room look like the store of a first class silver smith, stocked with every variety known to the market. The articles were beautiful, costly and most of them intensely practical and useful, as well as ornamental. Only a few selected from the multitude can be given in the brief space allowed for this story.

AGE Two ® —_—_—__—_—— Paris Uses Much — Black and White White Georgette With Black Satin Qne Of The Favored Combinations MIDSEASON HATS ARE HERE New York, Jan. 5—The black and white combination is on. of the very strong notes from Paris just at this time. Even while some bright col- ors are being shown, black and white comes to the front again. White Geor- pette and black satin are chosen very often to carty out this effect, and while it Is not looked upon in the Hght of a eal novelty, it is so evenly pleasing that its acceptance goes without saying. Dresses of white Georgette are some- times made with a deep band of black satin at the lower edge of the skirt. » AS in the accompanying sketch, there are additional touches of black about ‘ay JA 4 % f _-/| sex , \ 4 4 1) i\\ | i eer att . ye White Georgette and Black Satin Dress the dress, for instance on the belt and sleeves and the trimming on the front of the waist. Silver thread embrotdery in the popular daring-stitch enriches some of these frocks, 1m others, bead work is used. As an example of this last, white,Georgette crepe elaborately worked with beads form the upper part and sleeres of a black satin dress. Separate skirts of black satin are also worn with white Georgette blouses made in Russian style, Russian styles still keep at the height of popularity. When they are worn with suits they appear in any of the varying lengths, from the short hip length to below the knee. A strik- ing black satin dress recently seen was made with a siip-on Russian blouse of medium length over a very full pleated skirt. The lower part of the blouse was richly embroidered in silk and ‘Japanese embroidery in the cherry- sae « ge % ae \ ale i | Sere " ‘ Rell of “ie * : : | r a ; > ‘ ~) ” *__ , Pleats and Panels Follow the Straight } * Lines* blossom design. The embroidery was - in white and pale green. To return to black-and-white com-]| . Dinations, a very effective waist of | white crepe was trimmed with black’ - | erepe collar. enffs and revers and, in} addition, black beads, The light shades 1 which are again returamg to favor are 5 «putty, sand and beige. Rose-colased S beads in deep and Ughter shades trim : a sand-colored waist very effectively. ‘ Pleated Skirts and Panels Pleated skirts,though still requiring a liberal amount of material in the fashioning qf them are.made to hang quite straight. Some charming effects are seen where striped material is em- 4 ployed. In a purple and black striped fabric, the purple stripe is arranged beneath the pleate, 20 that to all in- tents and purposes the skirt appears a «to be black, but in waiking the color ee a ed stripes show. This ‘arrangements of pleats in striped materials is seen in striped fabrics of ,all corors. Panel effects ‘re still cqnsidered very good style for they preserve -the straight ‘lines at which Fashion aims. Here and there, however, exaggerated pockets break the monotony of the straight lines and staua out at the hips. Draped effects in some afternoon and many evening gowns also show that in ‘some instances there is a tendency to break away from the very straight lines. * Tassels of silk, wool or beads as well ak buttons, “form the decoration for dresses of a simpler and more tailored type. The apron string belts on the chemise dress are usually finished with tassels, and frocks with the loose float- ing panels are weighted at the ends with tassels ‘on either side. Colored ribbon on white crepe and lace waists, is another pew trimming which has appeared of late, Ribbons with two or more colors give very dainty effects on these waists. & - Midseason Hats : Now that the midseason is here, hats ‘of velvet are giving place to those of satin and silk, Figured silks ere used for some smart, colorful hats, while crepe is another material favored by the milliners. Combtnatidns of straw ‘and satin are likely to be very popular also. Black straw-formed the tiny brim and the lower part of a very high ‘crown of a chic hat. The top of the ¢rown and the upper part was of blue satin. “Medlum size brims on rather drooping lines are also noted. A hat of crepe was trimmed with three rows of pleated ribbon at the top of the crown with a beaded ornament in front. The yell is still the faithful com- panion of the hat. Embroldered veils are even more popular than the plain ones, and the flowing vells more favored than other atyles. Some of the flowing vets are worn very short.

Advertising Rates given on application. The death rate in Brunswick seems to have experienced the same gratifying decrease which Savannah's showed. It must bear some close relation to prohibition. A colored man named McDuffie, living in the cotton belt of Alabama, seems to have solved the boll-weevil problem. His cotton crop, though surrounded by others who suffered severely from the ravages of the little pest, appears to have been singularly free from it. His method consisted of treating the growing plant with a solution of his own concoction from cheap and simple chemicals. It cost him a few cents an acre, he said. He would saturate a large piece of bagging in the solution, attach it to his plow-beam, adjusted so as to touch the staple as the plow passed. He says it does the work. The leading farmers and newspapers are calling on all the cotton growers to give McDuffie's anti-boll-weevil method a fair trial. If this remedy proves successful, it will mean the saving of millions of dollars to the South annually. One of the most pitiful sights to those who have passed convicts working during the cold winter days, slinging mud out of the ditches they are cutting, is to see the men toiling in water, sometimes knee deep, with no protection to their lower extremities other than the ordinary heavy convict shoes. It has more than once occurred to us that these men, charges of the state, must of necessity suffer from being worked in water in almost unbearable weather even to the pedestrian with practically no protection at all to their legs. It has been an eye sore to us and, no doubt, to everyone with even a semblance of a spark of human feeling within them to see such inhuman treatment and we therefore feel that the county commissioners who have recently ordered rubber boots for the men when working in water are to be commended for this step. Convicts are no more immune to the ill effects attendant upon undue exposure than any other kind of outdoor workmen and every safe-guard which the commissioners place around the health of the convicts will be more than repaid in hard labor by the men. It is no more than should be done that those in charge of the wards of the state should do every thing in their power to increase the efficiency of the men under them and make their lot as free from the ill arising from improper clothing and dangers attendant upon their work as possible. The expense which will be incurred in getting rubber boots for the men will be many times repaid in the service and in the general health of the convicts. CUT OFF USELESS EMPLOYEES The measures recently advanced and advocated by an alderman in the city council, looking toward delegating to the police the duty of making the sanitary inspection throughout the city, looks like a first-rate proposal. It is in line, too, with the so-called policy of retrenchment and economy in the expenditure of public funds, and has that feature to commend it, in that it would cut from the roster of the city employees those who are now doing that work and, for it, feeding at the public ple-counter. It is claimed that many unnecessary minor positions are created for the sole purpose of paying off political obligation and keeping the political fences in repair, and it is further claimed that this work of inspection is not done particularly efficiently; moreover, we have observed that, for some reason, garbage collections in certain sections, mainly Negro neighborhoods where the service is most necessary, are entirely too infrequent. The saving, under the plan of police inspection, could better be used in promoting the efficiency in the garbage collection service with good and needful results. Now, there can be no argument under present conditions, that the efficiency of the police service will be at all diminished or reduced. In fact, it would seem, upon a close study of the plan, that police protection would be the more adequate and secure even under the present numerical strength, for the vigilance of individual house-inspection, would seem to keep would-be violators of the law all the more apprehensive. Police court records, under recent prohibition operations, indicate that the rank and file of the minions of the law have very little to do. The raiding squads, composed mainly of superior officers and plain clothes men, have reduced whiskey-selling to a minimum, and thus emplied the police barracks or nearly so. The duty of the average guardian of the peace is largely inspectorial any way, and should be, and the mere addition of this new feature could only improve and complete his task. Sanitation is so closely allied with the city's health that there should be no pains spared to make the work rigid and thorough. The gratifying results along this line during the past year give promise of more splendid results in the future. If we have a clean city, we can have a healthy city, of good strong citizens and that is what we are looking forward to. We should like to see the alderman's timely suggestion adopted and put into practice. We believe we could see its beneficial results at once and that it would find general adoption elsewhere. In any case, it should be given a thorough trial. PULLING TOGETHER It is refreshing and hopeful that the Savannah public is about to see the wisdom of pulling together for civic improvement. It begins to look as if we are going to realize the fool hardiness of sacrificing the general welfare of a great and growing city in the minoture arena of local petty politics. Within the past ten years we have seen many great enterprises and business projects whose agents were desiring to locate here—who came here looking over various suitable sites—literally drawn from our borders, by local selfish interests and contentions. The policy of the modern progressive city is to receive prospective investors with open arms, extending every service, courtesy and assistance in the securing of the most favorable conditions for them. Many of the most prosperous cities, through their trades and financial bodies, have extended financial assistance, and otherwise facilitated the locating and establishing of foreign enterprises, and found it advantageous, ultimately, to do so. It is not unusual for these bodies to secure favorable legislation in their city councils, secure railway extensions and even to donate the site for the new enterprises, and the like. The city can well afford to do this. It promotes the general welfare and enhances the city's value and interests generally. Such a city is thoroughly alive and wide-awake, and Savannah must be in this class. The way the Savannah business men are going after the army camp site, makes one glad he is living in Savannah; and these men should not be discouraged if they do not happen to succeed in this particular instance, for such unanimity of action on the part of such competent men will bring results in the end. THE PREACHING TASK The preacher expects to accomplish something by his preaching, or ought to. That is why he is a preacher. Whatever may be the other functions of his business and however exacting upon his time, he is particularly a public speaker. In the opinion of the vast majority of people, the preacher is still king of public speakers, director of thought and action and guardian of the spiritual and moral welfare of the community. And preaching is growing, increasing and preachers still have the ear of the people. It cannot, thercore, be unimportant to consider the preaching task of the modern minister—his duty and obligation to his people and to God. No field of study furnishes the preacher with his material ready made. It is in the Bible, in the life about us, and in the story of man's struggles and achievements. The question still remains: What is the task of the present day minister? What is he trying to do? This proposition opens up the whole problem of the evolution of religion, its spirituality and practicability, and the current opinion with regard to the changes religious thought has undergone. The story of man is of a social process which has been taking form in various types of social organizations, of family, community, industry, government and religion, all of which are undergoing constant change. The modern minister believes in the social process. He believes in the glorious possibilities of humanity aroused to its responsibility and opportunity. He sees a human society, progressive, attainable—wherein men shall live in sympathy, loyalty, freedom, THE SAVANNAH TRIBUNE In sad but loving remembrance of a devoted daughter and sister, who departed this life January 22, 1916.

The life of Jesus set up this ideal. But what is the mental attitude of his congregation? Entirely inconsistent, of course, and not yet reached that maturity which enables them to keep step with the rapid changes taking place about them. At first blush it would seem that the preacher whose view of life in its fullness, has been his call to his task, is in a hopeless situation as the servant of a congregation that persistently thinks of religion as apart from the process which gives all of life its significance. Still a good basis for beginning to train the people out of this time-worn belief, lies in the fact that all people, practically, are agreed that human society is in an insatisfactory state, and all congregations have an increasing disposition to give them aid in an effort to improve present social conditions. Let the preacher treat the great Bible religion so vitally that it will always be manifest to his congregation the prophets and apostles were speaking the truth of their day, that we should not be slavish imitators of them, but from them take inspiration and lessons for the problems of today. Let the preacher use the great "words that are makers of ideas". He who speaks of humanity, society, sympathy, mental understanding, justice, beauty, love, of God in every human interest,—that preacher will educate his congregation to an apprehension of religion as part of the wholeness of life. The task of the preacher, is to see what there may be in the social process, see if God is in it, and what God is trying to do in tenements, slums, among the poor and suffering in large cities and in business and commercial enterprises, and having seen, to tell his people what he sees. Let him ask his hearers to pray to have a part in the further progress that shall save us from poverty and unemployment, and let him not fail to denounce those who are careless and who will here the call of our modern duty. Let him speak of new rights that must be achieved, the right of a child to childhood, to education, to be brought up naturally; the right of a man to home, family and happiness; the right of a mother experiences of motherhood; and to have God interpreted to us through great human justice and love. Some duties at least are clear: the friendless need friends, but more than this, they need a chance. Savannah, Ga.

Woman's Exchange The latest and probably the greatest enterprise that looms up bright on the business horizon is a WOMAN'S EXCHANGE. What a difference this will make in the pleasure, comfort and economic conditions in this community. Such an agency has been a long felt want and, alas! it is gratified. A woman's exchange is not a new idea, the better class of white people have maintained an exchange for a number of years. Its advantages have in some way been withheld from the general public. But now we have it with us, and it is up to you to take advantage of its service. The alertness and ambition of one of our young business women has made this possible, and by her skillful management has given a tremendous connexus to the enterprise. It is founded on sound business principles, and has come to stay. Every detail has been thoroughly planed and convincingly demonstrated. Just think, here is a place where you can buy all kinds of hand-made necessities and where you can sell the little articles that you have made in your spare time. Every woman should learn about this efficient accommodation. Tell your friends and at our earliest convenience go around to Mine Fields-Vouting's. 135 W. 132 St. FRANK'S SHOE REPAIR SHOP EXPERT WORKMANSHIP BEST MATERIAL PROMPT DELIVERY WE AIM TO PLEASE A TRIAL WILL CONVINCE WORK CALLED FOR AND DELIVERED PARCEL POST ORDERS SOLICITED A Specialty Made of Repairing Children's Shoes PHONE 1314 43 Barnard St. G, H, BOWEN "THE REAL ESTATE MAN', Phone 4096. 458 West Broad St Sacksville.....5 rooms, 1 acre.....$12.00 per month 509 East Henry Lane.....Garage.....$3.00 per month 214 E.

T. Barnes. Her death was a sad shock to the entire community, especially sad as she was so young, only 17 years old, and had such a sweet disposition. She was a much loved student of the American Institute from which place she came about six weeks ago because of her indisposition. She seemed to convalesce and was hoping to return to school until a few days before her death when there was a sudden change for the worse. She talked freely of her departure until the last and calmly bade her loved ones goodby. She leaves a father, mother, five brothers, one sister, a host of relatives and friends to mourn her death. She was a member of New Harmony Baptist church at which place the funeral services were held and the following program rendered: Music, congregation; prayer, Rev. G. W. Kimborough; music, congregation; scripture, Prof. M. W. Reddick; paper, Miss Roger B. Shedd; duet, Miss Estella Morman and Mrs. J. L. Reddick; obituary, Prof. J. L. Reddick; music, congregation; sermon, Rev. A. S. Staley, text, "Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of His saints" Psalms 116:15. Touching remarks were made by Prof. M. W. Reddick.
