Professér Kelly Miller, dean of the College of Arts and sclence Howard University, and vice president of the league, presided at the ‘afternoon ses- sion and 1. Hollingsworth Wood, pres- ident of the National League, at the evening session, Jommissioner Howe, speaking on “Migration after the War" said: “The ;end of the great war will find America facing a immigration from Central Europe because of the great devastation ft has suffered, Along with this heavy immigration, I expect a large exodus. 1 believe that. many will go from this, country back to Europe as soon as the war is over for various reasons, some for- curiosity; others to see relatives and others will go because of the wide spread belief that land will be cheap in Europe and they will be able to buy property.” Mr. E. J. Triay, Ir. of the Eri Rail- rond, sald “The Erie Railroad has em- ployed a firge number of the Negro migrants and we are still in need of more because of the abnormal state of labor conditions In this part of the couutry.. We have employed colored men from the South, “haye_found the majority good workers; few haye been like other race or any other'men, shift- less and ready to “jump their’ jobs,” but the majority are otherwise.” In presenting the program of work for the Negro in cities Forrester B. Washington of Detroit, Mich, said that the league's branch in his city is assisting the Negro immigrants there in a practical way. assisting them In getting. jobs, secing that wholesome places are provided and is giving mid- day talks te the lnborers in the many factories: | > Tenement House Conimisstoner Mur- phy spoke inferestingly on housing ac- commodationg for Negroes In New York City, and said that: “I don’t know what Program this association may be con- sidering.” It is the essential aud fanda- mental thing that food, clothing and sheltef pre the fundumental needs of humanity, and ifthe standards of ‘housing are kept up, it almost inevit- ably follows that the conditions of the people who live in thove houses have a tendency to retrograde. The City of New York recognized this 15 or 16 years ago when it said: ‘We will not have people living, In the City of New Sore in hous below a certaly stand- ard!” Speaking an “The ‘Futility of the “strong Arn’ Method to Stop Migra- tion from the South” J. H. Butler said; “I um not surprised that the Pennsyl- vania It. R. has not had success with their Negro labor’ They brought about four of five trains into Savannah, sent out a few orders and took all of the driftwood from Savannah. The men were packed like sardines into large numbers of couches. They knew: not why nor where they were going; what wages they were to receive, etc. On the other lund, the Erle It.

He told of’ his being arrested, once with 19 school boys whom he was di- recting to work in the North and of a subsequent arrest when he and about 100 laborers were incarcerated because they were at the depot preparatory to going North. He told also of similar arrests at Macon and Americus, Ga., and elsewhere. Mr. J, Hollingsworth Wood theu read a letter from Governor Stanley and the body passed resolutions congratu- lating him for his loyalty to his’ oath of office at thé great personal risk of saving x Negro prisoner from lynching, the administration of the law from dis- grace and the federal court officials from threats of mob violence at Bfur- ray, Kentucky. Commission Lawrence 3, Dunham, speaking on the “Attitude of the Po- lice”, in part, said: “I don't know whether you realize that we have news- papers printed tn 34 languages and din- lects and 42 per cent. foreign popala- tion in New York Clty.

Immediately after the holiday season the shops begin to show a tempting array of thin dresses and light suits, for it is now the exodus to warmer climes begin to take place. Those of us who either from choice or necessity must see the winter through in the cold regions, may still contemplate the styles that are offerer for Southern wear, for they are a pretty accurate forecast of what will be worn when spring comes. O. McCALL Blouse of Chiffon with Oyster White Tussur Skirt Blouse of Chiffon with Oyster White Tussur Skirt The delicate lingerie dress this season is of Georgette, chiffon cloth or net—these for the more formal dresses, while for other purposes there are dainty, fine voiles, with new printed, woven or embroidered design in the most attractive colorings imaginable. Net dresses are finely embroidered and trimmed with lace, while those of chiffon and Georgette are adorned with the ubiquitous embroidery in cross-stitch, beads or darning-stitch. The New Colors Green is one of the most fashionable colors for the coming season. It © McCALL has already been launched by Paris with great success; furthermore, it is the true color of spring and for that reason most appropriate for this season of the year. There is a delicate canary yellow used both for afternoon and evening gowns which is quite new and promises to be very much favored. Yellow in any shade seems to meet with approval. The deep mustard and citron shades are considered especially smart for sports clothes. We have not been able to get away from dark blue, for in spite of many people being tired of it, Fashion considers it correct for the tailored suit and dress, and it is much too practical a color to be discarded. Blouses of Ciffon The sketch illustrates a blouse of chiffon made to be worn outside the skirt, a style which increases in popularity as time goes on. The neck line, going straight across the front and back from shoulder to shoulder, is also proving very popular. This line is not so hard when the material is softly shirred and an additional piece of plain chiffon is placed over the shoulder. Shirred pockets at the edge of the peplum, and the ribbon decoration ending in loops below the belt, which is finished with a prim, tailored how directly in front, are special style features worthy of consideration, for they appear in many of the new models, varying accordingly to the nature of the design. Blouses of satin and silk are also making their way among the very sheer materials which are now being used. The tailored skirt with large pockets placed over the inverted pleats at the sides is one of the newest modes in separate skirts. This skirt is of oyster white tussur. Tussur and Pongee Very Smart Tussur and pongee have few rivals among the materials for suits and dresses. With splashes of bright colors or huge dots or squares against a white or natural background, they make the most fascinating sports suits. The striped and dotted designs are very striking and induce an entirely new Crepe de Chine Negligee with Angel Sleeves A negligee with angel sleeves is one of the latest offerings for the woman who wants to be dainty and becomingly attired in her boudoir. A sketch is shown here. The negligee is of Crepe de Chine, with fine lace edging around the collar and pockets, and sleeves of deep lace flouncing. The pockets and sleeves are weighted with tassels. Boudoir caps of net, chiffon and lace trimmed with ribbon are still seen in great numbers. A very pretty cap of blue chiffon with a pleated net ruffle and long streamers of blue ribbon is a recent importation from Paris. A large pearl ornament was placed in front. Another cap of cream net was trimmed with narrow blue ribbon in lattice effect around the edge. Tiny pink rosebuds held down the lattice where the ribbon crossed itself. A ribbon bow on the crown and a soft ruffle to frame the face completed this dainty trifle. Such caps are easily made from scraps which you may have left over in the liouse. DECISION OF S.C. OF M.

Entered at the Post Office at Savannah, Georgia, as Second class Mail Saturday February 3, 1917 The efforts of several of the governors of our states to discontinue lynching and lawlessness are both commendable and refreshing. An executive conscious of his path will always prevent lawlessness in his state. Gov. Harris has been importuned to call a special session of the legislature, in order to make Georgia an "air-tight" state so far as prohibition is concerned. The governor needs specific reasons to show the pressing need of such a session. He stated that if it could be shown that the present law is causing demoralization among the colored people, he would readily call the extra session. Why should the governor single out the colored people. Compared with others, there is less drinking among them. Along racial lines the governor has not shown the broad-gruged statesmanship of some of his predecessors. MAIN CAUSE OMITTED Under title "Tenantless Lands," the Augusta Chronicle January 21, publishes a letter of one of its subscribers, N. L. Willet, who appears to be a farmer of large proportion in the neighborhood of Augusta. The writer offers many reasons why the Negro farm laborer and tenant is so ready to leave the farm for northern labor fields. He sets up the usual bug bear of rigorous climate, sharp labor competition and the cold commercialism of northern employers, as reasons why Negroes should remain on southern farms where, as he says, "they make three times more." He admits that southern farmers should take quick action to hold their laborers and tenants, and suggest a remedy: "Let the land owner buy two brood sows, a milk cow and churn, and fifteen or twenty chickens. Let this be a part of the outfit of each unit farm, the tenant to use them without cost but to keep up in point of number at all times, this little animal colony. This would cost something, but, as I see it, no land owner should be willing for laborers of his place to live in the low level of life which obtain on the usual plantation. He touches upon a very, vital spot in the life of the southern farm laborer, true enough, but he omits to mention, purposely or inadvertently the most vital cause of discontent. The fact is that many colored people who are not in a state of poverty are migrating or planning to do so, also. The main cause is, not boll-weevil, poverty, etc., but lack of protection to life and limb, and property. The writer to the Chronicle knows, as do thousands of others who have the interest of the South at heart, how colored people in the rural districts and on the farms have suffered at the hands of white individuals and mobs. He knows that there are sections in this very state where Negroes are made to feel that there is a limit to the prosperity they may exhibit, that there are certain of the good things of life and of the fruits of honest toll which the colored man dare not enjoy. He knows further that if a Negro has something which his white neighbor corets, he will be intimidated and coerced into giving it up. He knows how colored people have suffered in the matter of education, the schools in many places remaining open only two' or three months in a given year, and in some places, when the mob spirit was high, schools, churches and lodge rooms were burned. Why doesn't the gentleman seeking the cause of these alarming conditions offer to satisfy the rural Negro on these points? Why did he not suggest a seven months school? Why doesn't he urge the farm owners to give laborers and tenants protection under the law, and justice and fair-play in business? These things, and these alone will make the Negro content. We have noticed lately that in several sections of the city, on street corners in particular small groups of boys, white and colored, ranging in years from ten to twenty, rolling like gum. billing: We do not undertake to point out the particular places because they are too many to mention. The unfortunate thing about the matter is that scores of pedestrians, men, women and children pass these groups by, indifferently or with a feeling that it is the business of the police to break it up, not theirs. Recently a few gangs of these have fallen into the toils of the law, but so few have been run down that it has no effect to break up the practice. Meantime, greater numbers of smaller boys, yet too young to enter the game, stand by as interested spectators and learners—later to recruit the squads. These boys congregate mostly at night at corner stores and stands and stage their dice rolling openly on the side walks or at the lane corners near by. This practice brings to mind the presence of numbers of boys in short pants, who frequent the various pool rooms of the city. Some of these small boys are daily at school and must have a demoralizing effect upon their associates. It is unlawful to gamble, and if we are correctly informed, minors are not allowed in pool rooms. These practices should not be tolerated. Any observers of gambling on the streets, if not elsewhere, should report it to the police, and minors should not be allowed to darken the doors of pool rooms under penalty of revoking the license of the proprietors who indulge or encourage them. These influences are the worst possible upon the young, and no amount of home training or church instruction can counteract their baneful effect upon the child. Many children find it necessary to go about the streets upon business for their parents or employers and they are entitled to protection from these evil influences. The child mind is naturally venture- some and curious and needs to have thrown around it every safe-guard against sin and lawlessness. A few reports to the police authority on these nuisances should put an effectual stop to them. SUPERINTENDENT GIBSON The Tribune, along with all the thinking people of the community, like the ring of fairness and wholesomeness in the speech of Superintendent of Public Schools C. B. Gibson, in his address to the principals and teachers of Colored schools last week. It smacks of justice and fair-play. It seems to be characteristic of the man. The wide-awake and progressive superintendent, like all men of modern education and thought, knows that the life and progress of all the people white and colored, are inextricably related and interwoven, our interests are mutual and common, and one class of the commonwealth cannot advance without and at the expense of the other. It has taken many people years to arrive at this point in their treatment of the problem of public education and their administration of educational funds and affairs committed to their trust. A good many have not yet reached it, but there is hope that more light and a clearer surer vision of modern life will bring the inevitable condition home to them. The superintendent said that all the modern advantages in educational ideas were to be extended to all the people alike. Colored people have been patient under inadequate and uncomfortable school facilities and they will be none the less duly appreciative of a fair and equitable apportionment of the increased advantages which the modern progressive thought in education will bring to them. It requires modern education and progressive thinking to make men broad, to cause them to get that conception of public and civic duty which a public officer should have. The new superintendent seems to be well-endowed in the qualities which make for full fitness, and the whole school system will continue to thrive under his just and able supervision of affairs. TURBLE AND EFFICIENCY The so-called hard times and panic years of the last decade have not been without their valuable lessons. They have served the useful purpose of teaching great numbers of our people the lesson of thrift and frugality. Many have learned the wisdom of laying aside a portion of their earnings, how ever small, for the "rainy day", the time of illness and great stress. The great majority of people fall within the class of unskilled labor and thus cannot lay claim to higher wages and, in most cases, to permanency and security of position and employment. These, more so than others should learn the lesson of economizing and saving something out of their small earnings to provide against the day of unemployment. In times like these, the unskilled laborer has no voice in the regulation of industry or the wage scale. Labor is so easily available, so dependent, and withal so unorganized, that it has no consideration in the councils of industry. What little organization there is, has fortunately, somewhat ameliorated conditions for the working man in certain isolated sections. This organization, however, has embraced few colored people, and when it has, it has done so as a means to an end and not out of fellow feeling and class interest. As a general proposition the white labor unions have resented organization among Negroes and employers have not countenanced Negro unionism. Negro mechanics who have had union experience have realized this, and have learned to act in accordance with their best interests. Capital, too, in a great many instances, looks at labor cold-bloodedly and commercially—regardless of the color line and colored people have gone into many fields of industry because of the arbitrariness of white labor. Moreover, it is fortunate that Negro labor has usually succeeded wherever it has gone. In the great packing plants of Chicago and Kansas City, in the coal fields of Pennsylvania and West Virginia, in railroad and other public work of the North, where prior to the past year or two Negro labor has been unknown, colored labor has been successful. The innate docility and pliability of the Negro laborer, his conscientious interest in the work of his employer and his growing reliability have availed him much. He is making reputation. That reputation is securing for him trials in many of the manufacturing plants and every day we hear much to encourage us from employers in the new industries undertaken by colored folk. It would seem that a new era is opening up for the Negro wage-earner by the accident of war, and he must be alive to the great responsibility he has upon him. The future control of all these avenues of labor, for colored people, rests with the Negro laborer in these new and bitter-to unknown experiments. To make good, will mean industrial emancipation for hundreds of thousands whose industrial status has been fixed within certain narrow limits for years. Let us help him to make good. Let us encourage and assist in making the labor conditions satisfactory. This, in part, is the task which the migration conference, which met last week in New York City, mapped out for itself. Savannah had a representative at that conference, and the details of their deliberations are given elsewhere in this number. Savannah is a pivotal point in this labor movement—a sort of clearing port for the regions round about, and the citizens here can do a great service in the matter. We would do well to discourage the shiffties, improvident and the weak, at least. These can do nothing except to complicate the situation in northern labor centers by increasing the charity burdens of large cities. Then let us urge all, those who remain and those who go, to prove themselves efficient and reliable and thrifty. There is a marked improvement among this class of people here in Savannah. The character of the labor here is improving all the time. The ranks of skilled labor are being increased, and along with increased efficiency comes thrift. The one is the hand maid of the other. Let us all pull and pull together for Thrift and Efficiency. URBAN LEAGUE ON NEGRO MIGRATION (Continued from Page One) present administration has helped toward a better understanding.' Dr. R. R. Wright, Jr., editor of the Christian Recorder, opened the discussion, and said in part: "Colored people do not know their economic power and the white people will not admit it. When they leave, their very moving, although unorganized, proves both to the Negro and to the white man that the Negro is an essential factor in the development of the South. It further proves to the thoughtful Negro if all of this stirr can be made by an unorganized race movement, what can be done by an organized movement." Oswald Garrison Villard was among the speakers to address the evening session. He said that he considered the migration of Negroes to the North one of the best movements in recent years for the Negro and the country in general, and that he was opposed to any restriction being placed on their coming North. He said there is plenty of work in the North and the Negro was needed in great numbers. In concluding the program, E. K. Jones, executive secretary of the Urban League, proposed a plan for organizing work in cities throughout the country: Such movements to aid the migrating Negroes to adjust themselves to their new environment and in improving the conditions of Negroes in the South. The following resolution was adopted by the Conference: Negroes are migrating to the North in unprecedent numbers and are preparing to come in greater numbers in the spring. They are attracted by the large wages offered and by the opportunities to enjoy larger personal, political and civil freedom. In some sections of the South, they stand in constant dread of personal violence and are leaving to escape oppression. This Conference of Negro Migration, assembled under the auspices of the National League on Urban Conditions Among Negroes, wishes to go on record as believing: 1. This is the time of all times for Negroes of the South and whites of the South to arrive at a better understanding of each other and of the value of THE SAVANNAH TRIBUNE the two races to each other. II. That the Negroes' industrial opportunities in the North are unusual that northern employers are securing and can secure Negro labor, dependable, loyal, constant American labor and that this labor should not be abused or exploited, but should be cared for as well as any other labor. II. That, although thousands of Negroes in excess of the normal migration have left the South since April last and more are to follow, still the great mass of the Negro population of the United States will remain in the South-land. Therefore be it resolved: I. In the South:—That wherever possible, whether in the city or rural community, organizations be formed with the following purposes: (a) To foster good feeling between the two races. (b) To study the health, school and work needs of the Negro population. (c) To develop agencies and stimulate activities to meet those needs. (d) By training and health protection to increase the industrial efficiency of Negroes and to encourage a fairer attitude toward Negro labor especially in regard to hours, conditions and regularity of work-and standard of wages. (e) To increase the respect of law and the orderly administration of justice. II. In the North:—That similar organizations be formed or existing organizations urged to take action which, in addition to the purposes already mentioned, shall seek to instruct the Negro migrants. (a) As to the dress, habits and methods of living necessary to withstand the rigors of the Northern climate. (b) As to the efficiency, regularity and application demanded of workers in the North. (c) As to the danger of dealing or going with unscrupulous or vicious persons and of frequenting questionable resorts. (d) As to the opportunities offered by the towns and cities of the North in schools, hospitals, police protection and employment. (e) As to facilities offered by the church, Y. M. C. A. and Y. W. C. A. and other organizations. NAGLE-STARR NUPTIAL The wedding of Miss Marlon Nagle and Capt. John Starr, U. S. C. G., on Thursday evening of last week at First African Baptist Church, Franklin square was one of the most brilliant events of the season. Hours before the appointed time for the knot to be tied, hundreds of people were rushing from every direction to the scene of activity, bent on taking a look upon the congenial captain and the one he had selected to be his better half. The church was crowded to its capacity and many had to remain on the outside. They were fully three thousand people there. About 10 o'clock the pridal party arrived at the church in carriages and merry, too, were they upon their rode up. Immediately upon their arrival, Mrs. T. J. Goodall took charge of the organ, and to the strains of Mendelsohn's wedding march, the party entered the church. It was led by the ushers, Mr. George Smith, Mr. Chas, Allen, Mr. Harry Young and Mr. John Gadsden, Following were the brides maids and groomsmen, who came down the side aisles; they were Miss Helen Harris of Augusta and Mr. Earl Parks and Miss Marie Levy of Augusta and Mr. Milton Robertson, Jr. Then came the matron of honor, Mrs. Elmora Hatchett Allison, and behind her was the ring-bearer, Master Thos. R. W. Nagle, Jr., who was followed by the flower girl and boy, little Burneta Green and little Carswell Bates, Jr. The bride then entered on the arm of her brother, Mr. Chas, Nagle, and they were met at the altar by the groom and his best man, Mr. Thos. Nagle, Jr., where the ceremony was performed amid several beautiful palms. by the Rev. T. J. Goodall. During the ceremony the organ pealed very softly, "Buds and Blossoms." The bride was exceptionally charming in her elegant gown made of silver lace combined with silk tulle and ribbon. The overskirt was of two pointed flounces of tulle, edged with narrow ribbon, fell with points alternately over a drop skirt, which was also edged with a deep gather flounce of silver lace. This flounce was lined with another of point lace; the bodice was of silver lace over the shoulder from the left and tulle over the right, over draped in basque effect. There were large puffed sleeves over the shoulders. Around the edge of the bodice were loops of narrow ribbon which fell over the skirt. The veil of tulle embroidered in butterflies and edged with venetian lace, was draped with a pretty wreath of orange blossom. She wore pearl beads and satin slippers and carried a bouquet of bride roses, showered with sweet peas and tied with white tulle. The groom was attired in the white uniform of the government. The matron of honor wore a blue taffeta silk with point despair tunics and bodice edged with silk with angle sleeves. Her bouquet was of radiant roses and malden-hair fern, tied with pink tulle. The bridesmaid, Miss Harris, was gowned in pink charmeuse, accordian pleated with an over-dress of pink tulle with a pink velvet bodice embroidered within in a silk butterfly. The other maid, Miss Levy, wore a gown of pink tull-founded edged with silk bands over pink silk and a bordice of pink tulle with a headed medallion in centre. Both bridesmaids carried pink and white carnations. The ring-bearer and little flower girl were very becomingly dressed. Mrs. Elizabeth Nagle, the bride's mother, and Mrs. Wilhelmina Bates and Mrs. W. G. McFaster were very becomingly gowned for the occasion. After the ceremony, Photographer J. W. Johnston took a flash of the scene. The reception at the house was a gay affair and the couple received fully 500 presents. They consisted of silverware, china, cut glass, chalets, lamps, pictures, fahle covers, vases, centre pieces, tables, wearing apparel, kitchen utensils and many other things too numerous to mention. Capt. Starr is very popular in the community and Personally appeared before the undersigned, Duncan Pringle who being duly sworn deposes and says that he is the Secretary-Manager of the Chatham Mutual Life and Health Insurance Company, and that the foregoing statement is correct and true.

Stearns. | As in our last Iesson, our thoughts Were carried back to Jacob’s dream and that which {t pointed onward to. s0 in this marriage at Cana, where He wrought His first miracle and mant- fested forth His glory (chapter il, 11), we are taken back to the first mar- riage in Eden and onward to the mar- | riage of the Lamb (Rev. xix, 6-9), after which will come the kingdom, when He will drink again the fruit of the vine and others shall eat and drink at His table in His kingdom (Luke xxii 18, 30). If these earthen vessels of ours, these mortal bodies, were as full of-the water of the word as the vessels at the marriage were full of literal water up to the brim, He could easily change the water to wine and we would be filled with the Spirit and with Joy and peace in believing, and gerne be counted drunken, as the ciples were at Pentecost.(11 Cor, iv, 7; Col iil, 16; Rom, xy, 13; Acts, if, 113-15). As this marriage was nt Cana ‘and that was Nathanlel’s home (il, 1; xxi, 9), If It fs of interest to you to think of this as being the marriage of Na- thantel you nre at liberty to do so until you can see Lim and ask him about st. But it Is the Lord Jesus and not Na- thaniel in whom we are espectally in- terested. Let us not forget Mary's word to the servants, “Whatsoever He saith unto you, do it” (verse 5). After )a brief stay of a fey days at Caper- naum with Hls mother and His bieth- ren and His disciples, we next find Him at Jerusalem at Passover time (verses 12; 13). We think of the first Passover to which He went with His mother and Joseph when He was twelve yeurs old, and when, after three days’ search for Him they found Him {n the temple, and when they asked Him why He had so dealt with them He replied, “Wist ye not that 1 must be about my Father's business?” or, as in the revised version, “in my Fa- ther’s house” (Luke fl, 4251). We now fiud Him again in the temple and again He calls it "My Father's house” (verses 13-17). In verses 18-22 Le speaks of His own body as the Tem- ple, for both the tabernacie and the ‘temple were typical of lim as the true tabernacle and temple, in whom God dwelt (eb. vill, 2). When God gave Moses {ustructions to build the taber- nacle fu the wilderness He said, “Let them male me a sanctuary that I may dwell among them" (Ex. xxv, 8). | The temple was for the.same pur- pose that God might dwell in the midst of His peuple—Israel; an house for the name of the Lord God of Israel that all the people of the earth might know that the Lord is God and that there ig none else (L Kings viii, 20, 60). ‘Lhe body prepared in the womb of Mary was for the same purpose, as it Is written, “A body hast thou prepared me” (Heb. x, 5). As we had it in a recent lesson, “The word was made flesh.” “God manifest. in the flesh” (Jobn {. 14; I Tim, ili, 16. Every re- deemed person is now a temple or man- ston, in which the Father, Son and Spirit come to dwell (I Cor. v1, 19, 20; Jobn xiv, 17, 23), and all the redeemed are living stones built upon the foun- dation of Jesus Christ: the chief car- nerstone, in whom all the building, fitly framed together, groweth unto an holy,temple in the Lord, an habitation of God through the Spirit (Eph. ii, 19- 22; I Pet. li, 4, 5). : ‘The tabernacle and the temple wight | be desecrated and defiled, and they Were; the individual believer also and the whole company of believers called the church may be de6led, but He who was the true tabernacle and temple. Was never defiled by a sinful thought or word or act; He-was without -sin, He knew no sin, He did no sin. He was the Lamb of God without blemish and without spot. Therefore He could as such bear our sins by dying in our stead. “His own self bare our sins in His own body on the tree” (I Pet. fi, 24). It is Wis own death and resur- rection which He refers to in verses 18-22. They asked Him for a sign. and He told them that this would be the sign, Just as at a later date He spoke of Jonah’s experience as typical of His Jeath and resurrection (Matt. xi, 39- 10). In connection with the temple as 1 type of Himself ft is most interest- Ing and suggestive to note that in the thirty-fourth year after its completion ek Me eg ie eee ESF LSS DEES DE ED DD a z ——DR: PATRICK’S FAMOUS—— § | _.

The 50th anniversary of the First A. B. church was pleasantly observed during the past week. The sermons each night by the pastors, Revs. J. H. Thompson, James Whitaker, J. W. Este, M. M. Jefferson, S. C. Roberts and C. B. Burney were good, and the congregations and choirs of each church made a splendid showing. In the history of the church by Miss Hattle Jones a summary of the work accomplished for the half century was read and Rev. Jno. Williams, the former pastor, played well his part during the forty-two years of service. $212.25 was raised during the anniversary. Rev. H. F. Taylor, and members of the First A. B. Church, express their thanks to those who assisted and even wished the anniversary success. Rev. A. Parker, presiding elder of the Brunswick district, is making his first round for the conference year, reviewing the work of the District. Dr. Este at St. Paul made good in the first quarter. Rev. I. B. Harris at Payne Chapel and E. W. Johnson at St. James are on trial. Rev. Parker is happy over the record of the district, and is looking for great reports at Hawkinsville in November. Friendship Baptist church, of which the Rev. J. H. F. Martin is pastor, will soon be in line with the other leading churches of the city. A bell tower is being erected in which a bell will be placed and the members can go by the sound of their own bell. The members of Friendship are energetic of which their pastor should be proud. Mr. J. C. Dubignon is suffering from a fall from a scaffold from which he was dangerously hurt, but is much improved. Mr. Franklin Tison and Miss Sadie Dubignon were happily married a few weeks ago. The bride and groom arc natives of Brunswick and each being from a good family. Father Thompson of the Episcopal Church officiated. The couple is residing on Galiga's hill, at the home of Mrs. Anna Tison. This special request comes from the ministers of the city and all other rationally minded leaders, that the colored population of the city absent themselves from that most horrible play "Birth of a Nation" by Thomas Dixon, to be shown at the Grand opera Friday February 2, 1917. To see a review of the debauchery to the black man during the dark days of slavery could only brighten the enmity existing between the races in the South. The play is a blot upon civilization and to the extent that Jack Johnson in his victory at Reno, although a square deal could not be seen at the movies, the Negro should, to the same extent, refuse to see cruelties heaped upon him by his more favored brother. Remember the law of gravitation that to the extent of the pendulum of a clock swinging to the left, so it will go to the right.
