The Savannah Tribune. VOLUME XXXII Lincoln's Birthday Fittingly Observed BY GRAND ARMY AND SOCIAL CLUBS UNION Both Exercises Held at Bryan Baptist Church Monday Morning and Night Lincoln's birthday was fittingly observed here on last Monday. There were two exercises, one in the morning and one at night, both of which took place at First Bryan Baptist church. In the morning Robert G. Shaw Post No. 5, Grand Army Republic, the Veterans, the Imperial Lady Scouts Veterans, the Imperial Ladies' Scouts and Protection company, formerly of the Golden Circle uniform department, assembled at Oglethorpe Avenue and Reynolds street and headed by Middleton band marched through several principal streets of the city and thence to the church. The parade was reviewed by many and a patriotic air seemed to cover the vicinity in which the exercises were being held. The principal speaker was Rev. T. J. Goodall, pastor of First African Baptist church, Franklin square. His address was timely, instructive and in keeping with the occasion. In fact, the program as a whole was well rendered. Following is the program: Anthem.....By the Choir Reading Scripture.....Rev. R. V. Sutton Invocation.....Rev. J. S. Moody Chorus "My country tis of thee"..... ...Dennis School and Congregation Welcome address.....Rev. D. Wright Duett.....Mesdames Florie Barron and Lula Allen. Reading, Lincoln's Gettysburg Address, Mrs. E. R. Dennis Star Spangled Banner.....By Band Recitation.....Miss Wilhelmina Lokey Chorus, Song of the Flag..... ...Dennis School Exercise, Abraham Lincoln...Master John Herb and Miss Louise Heyward. Introduction of speaker...Rev. Wright Address.....Rev. T. J. Goodall Anthem.....By choir Remarks.....Rev. W. A. Daughtry At night, the Social Clubs Union formed at Gwinnett and West Broad streets. Jacob Wright, chief marshal, was in command, assisted by Capt. Julius Maxwell. Aside from a number of social clubs in line, a company of the Knights of Damon was out. The procession formed at 8 o'clock and marched north on West Broad street to Bryan and west on Bryan to the church. Middletons band and shaw's drum corps kept the air rent with music. Hundreds of people lined West Broad street to watch the parade which was a very creditable showing. Notwithstanding the cold, quite a large number was at the church to take a part in commemorating the birth of the great emancipator. After reaching the church the two marshals, followed by the officers of the union and the presidents of the various clubs, led the procession, they were immediately followed by the organizations. After the introductory remarks by the president, W. W. Mumphris, the exercises were turned over to the master of ceremonies, Maj. W. H. Burgess. The principal address by Prof. R. B. Wright was a masterly effort and was well received by the audience. His listeners sat with rapt attention and received every word that fell from the lips of the speaker. The talk was good and very instructive. The paper by Miss Bessie Foster was also well received, as were the talk of Dr. W. A. Harris on sanitary conditions. The solo by Miss Meta-Galloway and the singing of the Ga. Stato College quartet and the girls glee club of the college were exceptionally good. On Sunday night a very appropriate exercise was held at the First Congregational church. The principal speech was made by Manager J. C. Lindsay of the Atlanta Mutual Insurance company. It was one of the strongest talks delivered here on this memorable occasion. Music was furnished by the Sunday school and the pupils of the Beach Institute. DOTS FROM BLACKSHEAR GA Mr. W. M. Heath was at home last Sunday from Jacksonville, Fla., Mrs. Hart has left for Jacksonville, Fla. —Mr. Strickland is on the slick list. Mrs. Strickland left for Woodstock, N.C., this week—Mrs. P.

U. always is well attended, Mrs. Fannie Gray, president, makes it pleasant for and who attend. NEWS OF THE NATION'S CAPITOL By R. W. Thompson Washington, D. C., Feb. 15—The sterling deeds of Frederick Douglass and Abraham Lincoln were extolled Friday evening at the regular meeting of the Mu-So-Lit Club at 12th street Y. M. C. A. The story of Douglass' matchless struggle against the slave power and his eloquent appeal for liberty for his oppressed people were admirably told by Dr. Edward D. Williston, who enjoyed a close personal contact for years with the "grand old man." In graphic language and with a delivery at times dramatic, Mr. John T. Howe described the labors of Abraham Lincoln and how the emancipation of the Negro was brought about. Both addresses were remarkable for their compactness and clarity of statement. Former President M. Grant Lucas recited Lincoln's famous Gettysburg address, and recalled the fact that some years ago he had presented the club a gavel made from a piece of cedar from the home of the immortal Douglass at Cedar Hill Anacostia. The Howard University glee club, led by Prof. Roy W. Tibbs, rendered appropriate selections. --- A reception, marking the approaching departure of Senator Moses E. Clapp from Washington, was held last Friday evening at the Metropolitan A. M. E. church, under the auspices of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. Mr. A. H. Grimke, head of the local organization, presided and eulogized the work on Senator Clapp for the Negroes of the Nation. Other addresses in praise of the humanitarianism of the Minnesota senator were delivered. Engrossed resolutions expressing the sentiments of the colored people with reference to the self-sacrificing work of Senator Clapp in their behalf, will be presented the senator through a committee appointed for that purpose. The going of Senator Clapp will be adistinct loss to the Negroes of the Nation whose friends in Congress are growing distressingly few. He has served well in his place and earned the everlasting gratitude of our 10,000,000 colored Americans all over the land. . . . The passage of the alien bill please those of the colored people who take an especial interest in the labor aspect of the race problem. They favored the exclusion of the illiterate foreigner, for he is a dangerous competitor of the Negro for the common labor of the country. The Negro sees improved conditions growing out of the departure of the Europeans to fight for their "father lands." The black man is now coming into his own in many of the factories heretofore barred to him, and is finding a place in the work of the railroads, mills, munitions plants, etc, where in former years the foreigner had been preferred The Negroes are anxious for this state of affair to continue, and is therefore pleased with the measure that will cut down the importation of unskilled labor from lands across the sea. America is the only "father land" to which the Negro owes allegiance and it is his desire to fight for this land, if necessary, and to develop its resources through every faculty he possesses. For the information of all concerned the promoters of the plan to fittingly honor the memory of the late Prof. John T. Layton, former director of music in the public schools, have issued the following statement: "To the public: 'A chorus is being organized to honor in some permanent form the late Prof. John T. Layton. We are anxious to enlist the co-operation of all music-lovers of the city. We take this opportunity to extend an invitation to the various clubs, musical organizations and interested individuals to lend their talents and meet with us on Wednesday night at 8 o'clock at the Bergan Baptist church. Prof. Charles H. Moore, formerly national organizer, of the National Negro Business League, now state supervisor of the colored rural schools of North Carolina, under the direction of the state board of education, was in the city last week attending the fourth annual meeting of the Alumni Council of Amherst College, of which school he was the first colored graduate, finishing in the class of '78. Prof Moore spoke to the gathering at the Saturday afternoon general session, and was accorded the strictest attention while ex- (Continued on page seven) ATLANTA UNIVERSITY MEETING A meeting of the Atlanta University Lague, graduates and undergraduates of Atlanta University will be held at the Carnegie Public Library.

THE CHICAGO DEFENDER REPORT OF LYNCHING IN GEORGIA A BIG FAKE NO FACTS TO CONFIRM LYNCHING OF NEGRO AND KILLING OF SIX WHITE MEN BY HER HUSBAND One Other Misleading Fact About State Yellow Journalism of This Sort Does Negro No Good and Shows Irresponsible Nature of Some Negro Newspapers In the Chicago Defender of February 3d there appeared an article supporting to come from Athens, Ga., which stated that a Negro woman had been lynched near that city by a party of white man because she slapped a little white boy who had been in a quarrel with her child and that the woman's husband killed six members of the mob and then made his escape. The matter has been thoroughly investigated by The Tribune and we have not been able to secure one scintilla of evidence confirming the affair. In fact, we have found that the relationship existing between the races in and around Athens is very cordial and that there has never been a lynching in Clark county, of which Athens is the county seat. Several of the best known and most reliably informed men there were shown the Chicago Defender's statement of the lynching and all of them expressed surprise, stating that there was no truth in it. From what source The Defender received this bit of startling news The Tribune does not know, but we are aware of the fact that it is not true. Another misleading statement of conditions in this state appeared in this paper about a month ago. It was to the effect that this city, Savannah, three white women were killed on a street car by an explosion of the montorman's control box, and, as a result, the seating arrangement of the races here has been changed, the Negroes being given the front part of the cars and the whites the rear. We remember well the unfortunate killing of the three white women by an explosion on a Battery Park car during the early part of September, but we know Motor Truck Supplements Horse-driven Vehicles The Henry Mears Feed Company, the Leading Negro feed and transfer company in the city, has added a motor drawn vehicle to its equipment, which will greatly improve its facilities for serving its many patrons. The new vehicle is a light three ton truck which will be used for quick hauls about the city. In addition to the new truck, the company operates two double and one single team wagons. Mr. Henry Mears is the sole proprietor of the business which has an office at 309 Berrlen street. NEGROSS ENLISTING IN CANADIAN ARMY Placed in Same Companies With White Men Dublin, Ga., Feb., 12.—That Negroes are being enlisted rapidly in the army of England in Canada, was the statement of Congressman-elect, W. W. Larsen, who returned this morning from a business trip to Canada, on which he visited several cities, including Windsor. "At Windsor," said Judge Larsen, "I was surprised to see a large sprinkling of Negro soldiers among the recruits who were being prepared for service in Europe. I mentioned it to the man with whom I was transacting business and he told me that several hundred Negroes from the South had been enlisted recently at Windsor and would be sent to Europe with the other troops. He told me they were all from my section of the country. To my surprise, also, I found them scattered among the white men and not in separate companies and regiments. Both whites and blacks seemed to be on good terms with each other and as chummy as soldiers generally get." VICTROLA CONCERT A victrola concert will be given Monday night at 8:30 o'clock at the residence of Mr. L. M. Pollard, 306 Park avenue, east, for the benefit of St. Stephen's Sunday school. Admission to adults will be 10 cents and children 5c. The program will be as follows: Part f Light Cavalry Overture.....Band Lincoln's Gettysburg Speech...Reading Gems from II Trovatore...Opera Paglacci.....Caruso What Killed the Dog...Reading Gems from Bohemian Girl...Opera Part h National Emblem March.....Band Give Me Liberty or Give Me Death.... .....Reading Gems from Robin Rood.....Operr The Night Before Christmas.....Reading Gems from Bohemian Girl.....Part II The Three Trees.....Reading Sextette from Lucia.....Opera ment of the races on any of the car of no change in the seating arrangements of this city. As a matter of fact, there has been no change made. News items of this nature give false impressions, do the Negro no good and are a reflection upon the reliability of our newspapers. It would be far better for the Chicago Defender to ascertain the truthfulness of news' items before giving them out to the public. The false Athens' news item, publish-ious white druggists of the city is Dr. fender, was as follows: TOOK REVENGE FOR DEATH OF WIFE "Mob Hung Hung to Tree, but He Killed Six and Made His Gatway "Athens, Ga., Feb. 2.—two little boys (one white) got to flinting in a town a few miles from here and the result was that the mother of the Race boy slapped the white one. Twelve men formed a mob and took her to the outskirts of the city and lynched her. They hung her body to a tree and then went to where her husband was working and asked him to help them cut down a cow which was too heavy for them. He went and was dumfounded when he saw that it was his wife. He humbly begged of them to allow him to go home and get a sheet to wrap it around her. They consented. While in the house he put his winchester under the sheet and came back. They waited to watch him, but he had, heat them to it. Approaching them, he opened fire, killing six. Before they could get to him he made his escape. The Associated Press never said anything about the matter. At North East Corner of Duffy and West-Broad Streets One of the most congenial and courteous white druggests of the city is Dr. George Pate, who, for many years, has conducted a drugstore at the northeast corner of West Broad and Hall streets, opposite the Pekin theatre. Dr. Pate enjoys a very large patronage among Negroes whom he always has treated with utmost courtesy. Today he will open a new drug store at the northeast corner of West Broad and Duffy streets where he will be pleased to serve his many Negro customers in this section. He handlels aside from ordinary drugs the well-known Nyal line of preparations, and his prescription department is given his careful supervision. TO CELEBRATE ITS CENTURY AND THREE YEARS. One of Oldest Organizations in the Country to Have Anniversary Tomorrow the Zion White Bluff Baptist church, Rev. John Sneed, pastor, will celebrate its 103d anniversary. This is among the oldest, most historic church of the county located about seven miles on the White. Bluff road. A large number of friends from the city is expected to attend. Special programs are arranged for the celebration. Rev. John Sneed, the present pastor, is among the oldest and best known citizens of Chatham county. PLAY GROUND TO Celebrate WASHINGTON | BIRTHDAY The children of the east side play ground will celebrate Washington's birthday with an exhibition of volley and doge ball also singing games and folk dances. A cordial invitation is extended to parents and friends. The ground will be open at 3 o'clock. OPERATES FIRST CLASS NEW YORK LODGING HOUSE When Savannahians are in New York they will find no better place to stop than at the Mitchell house, 2148 Fifth avenue. It is operated by Mr. Thos. Mitchell, formerly a barber of this city. It is a brown stone house, well furnished, steam heated and is three stories with seventeen rooms. Mr. Mitchell always gives Savannahians who stop at his place the very best of attention. It is situated in a very good location and is very convenient. CONTRIBUTIONS APPRECIATED A bundle of very desirable and serviceable second-hand clothing was donated to the Urban League district workers during the week by Mrs. J. H. Fields. These articles had been neatly washed, pressed and folded and served to meet the wants, of many persons over the several districts. The league has had many calls for help during the foul weather of the last two weeks and has been able to many cases to relieve the distress. Persons who may desire to render aid to the poor through the league are encouraged to make it known during the president over phone 2171 representative of the league will all on such persons at once.

REPRESENTATIVE OF ATLANTA UNIVERSITY TO VISIT GEORGIA TOWNS Many of the readers of The Tribune may have heard of the Atlanta University Conference and may already know that the above named organization is a branch of the department of Social Science of Atlanta University. This conference is devoted to the study of various Negro problems of the South and of the country. This year it is making a study of Negro business enterprises or "Economic co-operation among Negro people of Georgia." Mr. A. H.

URBAN LEAGUE TO UNDERTAK CIVIC GARDENS The Urban League, through the district workers' organization, will undertake the matter of civic gardens and yard beautifying. The city play ground commission has asked the league to undertake this and has promised its aid and co-operation. The plan determined upon by the league workers, involves the planting of yard gardens of the various vegetables, the same to be under direction and inspection of a representative of the league. Seeds will be furnished the various contestants. Flower seeds will also be furnished for the beautifying of front yards. Prizes will be offered in the several contests and it is expected good results will be obtained. the efforts of the league's campaign for yard beautifying, done at the instance of the Huntingdon club, last year, were very successful. There were many front yards beautified which hitherto had not known any flowers. SEWING GUILD ORGANIZED In connection with the chain of sowing gullds operated under auspices of the Urban League, there has been organized another in the Brownsville district, under direction of Mrs. M. J. Gordon and Miss Grant. Nineteen girls enlisted the first day and it is expected that many more will avail themselves of this valuable opportunity. Mrs. Gordon is a particularly competent needle worker and Miss Grant is well equipped at hand craft of all kinds. The other gullds are doing well according to reports. Miss Cole, assisted by Mrs. W. W. Warthen, is doing well with the work for the girls in the Old Fort. PAGE TWO As To The Latest Sport Clothes Silks and Satins Appear to be Greatly Favored HINTS OF A NEW HILHOUETTE New York, Feb 2- Nothing has been more talked of during the past seasons than sports clothes, so much so, that nowadays they have come to be just as essential a part of the modern woman's wardrobe as her evening gown In the styles shown at present for Southern wear, there is distinctly a strong accent on this type of dress; for fashionable women at southern resorts wear their sports clothes from early morning until it is time to change to evening gowns. As a result of the rage, the variety to be found under the label of sports clothes is nothing short of amazing. As a rule, bright coats © MCCALL A Sports Frok Developed in the New Plain and Dotted Silks or blouses are worn with white or light colored skirts. Included in the list of gay colors that are used, red is often found, which is rather unusual, as this color has been looked upon formerly as more appropriate for fall and winter than for spring and summer. Sports clothes of silks and satin appear in greater numbers this season than those of cotton. There are, however, some novelties in cotton which prove to be very popular. One of these is cotton gabardine brightly striped and plaided in colors. Basket weaves which have the new striped and dotted déligns also have a fair showing, and the heavy linens will undoubtedly be worn. The sketch shows one of the favorite models with the smart hip-length blouse. Stitched box pleats, starting O. K. Chemise Dress with Deep Flounce and Wide Paisley Girdle ing beneath the pleated pockets, give the Norfolk effect which has always been considered a good style for outing wear. Separate coats of fuzzy white material, somewhat like blankets, with stripes of many colors around the edge, and also on the collar and cuffs, are among the latest offerings in sports attire. The colored stripes are also carried out in the same way in coats of oyster-white tussur. * New Notes in Frocks Wide girdles crushed softly about the waist are quite often seen on the new dresses. They are generally of satlin or silk in some bright contrasting from under a deep yoke and disappearcolor and almost invariably end in tassels, for the tassels are very much worn at present both on dresses and hats. The vogue of tassels is almost on a par with that of beads and braid, the two most fashionable trimmings that have taken with such tenacity. In afternoon frocks of chiffon on Georgette and on separate waists the white chalk beads make very effective decoration on pale blue, flesh and white. Chiffon is rapidly taking the place of Georgette, the best authorities say, but Georgette dresses are still in evidence and two shades of this sheer material are often combined in a dress. One dress combining light and dark tan, and another of white and pale pink were recently seen. The result was exceedingly attractive. Rumors of a new silhouette have been causing a stir in fashionable circles. In fact, the rumors have been turned to reality, for the new barrel skirt has already been seen in Paris and New York. The barrel skirt which produces this new silhouette, wide below the hips and narrowing down toward the ankles, is a strong contrast to the straight line frocks inspired by the medieval fashions. Whether or not it will be accepted is still a matter of doubt. The barrel skirts that have been seen so far appear in different forms and some are not unlike the "peg-tops" which were fashionable some two or three years ago. It is very likely that the barrel skirt, if it takes at all, will not at once replace the straight frocks. It may be just a fad of the moment and it may be taken seriously by those who are tiring of the chemise dresses. Time only will tell, but in the meantime we need hardly have our peace of mind disturbed about it. SAVANNAH BRANCH OF URBAN LEAGUE AN ORGAN OF REAL SOCIAL UPLIFT No doubt, to the average citizen, whether he be directly or indirectly associated with the local branch of the Urban League, its work is hardly realized to its fullest extent. But to the outside observer and to social workers in other communities the work that is being done by the Savannah branch is a work that is so wide in its scope, so organized in its operation, so numerous and varied in its applications, that it cannot be surpassed by the work done in any other city by our people. We are living in an era of social progress. Men of all classes and races have become interested in the "other man", the man lower down. People are not only today singing the beautiful song written by Fannie Crosby, entitled, "Rescue the Perishing", but, with the zeal of the Nazerene, they are putting the spirit of the song into real practice. Men have realized that their service to God is measured by their service to humanity. It was the blessed Master himself who said: "Inasmuch as ye do it unto one of the least of these, you do it unto Me." The colored citizens of Savannah who have allied themselves with the work of the Urban League, should consider themselves proud, because they are not only associated with a local or racial organ of uplift, but they have caught the spirit of the age, the national spirit of service, the hastening of the kingdom of God in the hearts of men. Henry Ward Beecher once said: "That is true culture which helps us to work for the social betterment of all. Refinement that carries us away from our fellowmen is not God's refinement." According to this saying, we find among these people real culture and real refinement. A work so noble demands the heartiest support of every citizen. The churches should feel it their indispensable duty to co-operate in every way possible. The people of Savannah who have not realized what a force for community uplift is at work at their door should have it more fully impressed upon them the fact of its importance. If so much work has been accomplished with such a few interested, how much more would be brought to pass if every man and every woman in the community would participate. The good men and women who began this work have wrought well; but greater than your praise they need your co-operation. This is a personal call to service. You would do something for Jesus, now is your chance. Do something for humanity. Not only I, but you have a loud noise and a long face, it is practical, it is service. Jesus said, "In as much as ye do it unto one of the least of these, I little ones we do it unto Me." Let every man, and woman of the community realize that it is his particular duty to do as the poet Browning has said: Interpose at the difficult minute, switch soul the mistake; Soul the failure, the ruin he seems —and kid him qwaka. From the dream, the probation, the THE SAVANNAH TRIBUNE prelude, to find himself set Clear and safe in new light and new life, a new harmony yet To be run and continued and ended who knows?

Among the Masons Among the Masons DEATH OF AN OLD MASON Bro. M. B. Millen, one of the founders of Deborah Lodge No. 77, at Mill Roy, Ga., died February 5, after an illness of four months. He left a wife several children, brothers and sisters, and many friends to mourn his death. --- The Mason believes that God has arranged this glorious, but perplexing world with a purpose, and on a glorious plan. He holds that every man sent upon this earth, and especially every man of superior capacity, has a duty to perform a mission to fulfill, a battism to be baptized with; that every great and good man possesses some portion of God's truths, which he must proclaim to the world, and which must bear fruit in his own bosom. In a true and simple sense, he believes all the pure, wise and intellectual to be inspired, and to be so for the instruction, advancement and elevation of mankind.—Albert Pike. ```markdown ``` Toward a Great Friendship Toward a great friendship, long seen by Masonic faith, the world is slowly moving, amid difficulties and delays; and today, the sun looks down and sees men everywhere getting together, as though the race was fast becoming a great league of sympathy and service. Of that day, which will surely come, when nations will be reverend in the use of freedom, just in the exercise of power, humane in the practice of wisdom; when no man will ride over the rights of his fellows; when no woman will be made forlorn, no little child wicked by bigotry or greed. Masonry has ever been a prophet. Nor will she be content until the various threads of human fellowship are woven into one muscle cord of friendship, encircling the earth and holding the race in unity of spirit and the bond of peace, as in the will of God it is one in origin, history and end. Having "When the war-drum throbs no longer And the battle flags are furled, In the parliament of man, The federation of the world." Masonic Responsibility There is no fraternal order existing today that stands higher in the world's regard than the Masonic fraternity. Masonry has achieved for itself a name and a fame second only to the religion of the living God. This high position brings with it high duties and responsibilities. The world cannot gaze upon the Mysteries enacted in the lodge room, It can only judge of the duties taught within the lodge by the actions of Masons outside the lodge—by their daily walk and conversation. This being true, it behooves every Mason to consider himself an apostle and the examplar of the whole fraternity. It behooves every individual Mason to consider that upon his conduct rests the honor and the good name of all Masons; that his acts will bring shame upon the fraternity, or will shed glory upon the entire brotherhood. If we could but realize this great fact, how circumspect would be our outward demeanor—how absolutely irreproachable would be our every deed—how honorable and how blameless would be our lives. All Masons are surritles for one another. Then let us not fail in this tremendous responsibility. Let our lives measure up to the best and highest standard of righteousness and truth.—Selected. The world honors an upright and honorable man. Every Mason should strive to be such a man. Their are many definitions of Masonry. Yet, if any definition can be compressed into one word, we think that word is "work." We, "work" in the degrees. The lodge is "at labor" while in session. The hero of our principal legend was a working man. One of our emblems of the thrid degree is the bee-hive, the emblem of industry. There is no room for the drone in Masonry. There is no room for the idler, the inefficient, the man who has joined the order out of curiosity or for amusement, or for political or social preferment. Masonry was formerly "operative." Masons were architects and builders. Today Masonry is "speculative," it is a builder of character, of good morals, of the social virtues. Masons are builders still, they are workers in the great temple of life, they are architects of character, they are laborers in the world's vineyard, they strive to rescue immortal souls from the wiles and temptations of the evil one. Yes, Masonry is work of the highest and noblest kind. That lodge is fortunate which possesses a good Master and an efficient Secretary. * * * If you believe in the brotherhood of man, show your colors by treating all men as brothers.

Entered at the Post Office at Savan- gxh, Georgla, 23 Second class Mall Saturday February 17, 1917 + APROPOS A white farmer of a near-by county, begaing his erst-while Negro foreman to return to hin from Newark wrote “Tom I really can't get along widout you" Whe farmer set up the ‘many things that have gone awry since Tom’s de- parture, Tom replied that “If you will give me an fron-bound contract, wit- nessed by Messrs ———— and————, and granting me $35.00 per month, for twelve months, and board, I will re yarn.” The farmer was found in the Savan- wah post office this week enclosing the eontract and a ticket to Tom, How things change! AND HOME é Few people if any will deny that there should be closer articulation be tween the public school and the home. moreoyer it {3 unusual that more systematic co-operation of this sort has not already been established... The parent-teachers associations and the va- rions estra-schoot organizations which bring school and home, parent jand teacher, into closer touch, are efforts to meet this condition snccesefally— to hridze the gap. ‘These orzantzations must succeed, This does not say that various in- “dividuals, earnest and conscientions teachers, have not been doling this work. in a quiet way, all along, We. happen to know of-many instances wherein various cases of Aelinquency of one kind and another have heen cor- rected by interested teachers, Mans boyy nnd girls bare had their chances for education and thelr gen- eral opportunity for improvement broadened in this way. by teachers ant friends, who were willing to inquire tato their circumstances and mole of living, aud undertake to help them, The greatest success, however, [8 to be pained by organized co-operation between the two parties at intyrest the parent and teacher. Scores of minor problems and difficulties Involy ing dixeipline, delinquency, ete., bither- to unattended to, may find a ready solution out of the conferences. There should be such an organization es- tablished {n connection with every school. The churches, Hkewlse. are meeting the same condition by the ¢~ tablishmeént of Rrotherhoods and Wo- men’s Church Ald Soclettés. Much good has already resulted, ant more will result as these organizations inerease In experience and efficiency. Along with the varlous other social ageneles, the school, through these or- rantzations, can do a great part In the work of uplift, and ought to. The ehild, as 2 general rule, bas great love and respect for his teacher, loves to please his teacher, and will very often make extra effort and sacrifice to de- serve the tencher’s approbation. He fa ltkewise under influence of his teacher for as long a perlod of the day as under any one else, and often, longer. ‘This relationship and advantage can be capitalized by the alert teacher and turned to po0d account. The teacher would need to have a very definite pro- gram in thia work, not unlike that of his class room work. He wonld find time to do this withont needless Inter- forence with bis regular dutiéa, Tt fs hoped that parents and guard- fans threvgnout the elty will be quick to see the advantage which may come out of these extra schoo! activities and will take an active Interest in them.

All things else being equal, a wage-carner of certain rapk and skill has had to cut down in grade or quantity on the necessities or cut out the lusuries which his family en- Joyed. "These changed conditions brought on by the high price of food staffs, are a matter of great concern to the uation and a very vital factor in every house- hold. . ‘The condition has resulted from a combination of causes. In the first place, there has been a relative de- crease per capita In the total produc- tlon of fmportant staple foods, as coth- pared to the inerease in population, during the last ten years. These de- creases have shown In such staples as corn, wheat and meats and meat pro- duets. Moreover, It is claimed that the course of trade in fobd products fs not free, and that due to ilegal mantpuia. tion by trust organizations and mono olfes, competition bas been destroyed, ‘There is also a problem of distribution. ‘There !s no agency, friendly to the pub- Ile, which has country-wide oversight of the matter of distribution, and there ia no governmental poser specifically charged with securing equitable distri- bution, To all this must be added the providential shortage due to drouth, flood and plant-pest destruction and the abnormal demand by the European bel- ligerents who have been removed from the ranks of producers: These hard condition~. uo matter what their causes may be, have im- posed a heavy burden upon the com- mon people. The Jahor market offers Uttlé hope of wage increases snfticlent to mect the difference, and help mnst be cought from other quarters. ‘There are splendid evamples of eco nomy on the part of the good house- wife as a means of mesting the condi tion.

Careful anc serviceable bushanding of the small in- comes and resources In the homes ‘pf the moderate ware-earner, the elimina- tion of all foolish expenditure for pro- dtgal dress and vonecessary and useless rmucement diversion, will solve many n problem, and remove many familtes beyond the pale of want and suffering.

On Tebrnary 10th, President Nicholas Mfur- ray Butler of Columbia University, speaking before the Pittsburg Chamber of Commerce made a severe attack upon the wenkness and shallowness of American statesmenShip as exhibited in America’s foifizn polley, “Taking It all in all, our government 1a probably the most Incompetent and most costly on the earth.

Slaves in all the re sions remaining in rebellion were to be on that day declared entitled to free- dom, ‘Che emancipation prockunation had been duly prepared xt the state de partment and was ready for President Lincoln’ signature, “At noon, accompanying my father, ] carried the broad parchment in 2 large port-follo under my arm. We, treading lu way through the throng in. the Ivielnity of the White House, went up- stairs to the provident's room, whore Mr, Lincoln speedily joined us, The Jbroad sheet was spread open before Jhim on the cabinet table. Mr, Lincoln dipped his peo in the ink aud then, holding it a moment above the sheet, seemed to hesitate. Looking around, he sald: “T never in my life felt more certalp ‘that T was doing right than I do in signing this paper. But I have been ‘receiving calls and shaking hands since 9 o'clock this morning till my arm fs stiff and numb. Now, this signature fs one that will be closely examined, and if they tind my band trembled ‘they will say, “Hv had some con:punctions.” But anyway it is going to be done.’ “So saying he slowly snd carefully wrote his name at the bottom of the proclamation, ‘The signature proved to be unitsually clear, bold .and firm even for him, and a laugh followed at his apprehension. My father after ap- [pendims his own ‘name and causing the tant documents placed amon; the ar- creat sett to he aflixed had the impor- chives, Coples were at once xlvn to ‘the press.” .

Memory Verses, 13, 14—Golden Text, 1 Tim. i, 15—Commentary Prepared by Rev. D. M. Stearns. | In every lesson we must see Him ' ‘with whom alone we have to do, the Creator and upholder of all things, the ‘only Saviour of sinners, the only Judge jof all mankind, the searcher of all hearts, from whom nothing can be hidden. Last week we saw Him ‘deal- tne with a very religious man who stood high in the esteem of his fellows, /but now we sec Him dealing with an immoral, low down woman whom per- haps no one held in esteem, and yet ) her soul was precious in Ils sight, and He savel her end used her to save others. | ‘Tho “must needs go through Sama- ria” of verso 4 probably had special references to her and the need of her soul. The reference to Joseph and the well in verses 5 and 6 takes us back to Gon, xifx, 2.26, where Joseph is call- jed a frultful bough by a well whose branches run over tho wall, In the same passage ‘the true Joseph, Térael’s | Messiah, {s spoken of es the shepherd, the stone of Israel, who was separate from His brethren. In our lesson Hin branches are seen running over the wall to reach this Samaritan outcast. See His humanity in His weariness as ‘Ho sat on the well, for He was a real man, often weary, hungry, thirsty, lonely, aud His words are heart words, from His heart to ours, “Come unto mé, all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest” (Matt. xt, 28). He knew how to reach every heart, and He took such a ety differ- ent method with this soul frém that which He pursued with Nicodemus. Note the time of day, the sixth hour {verse G), for since John reckoned time as we do, Roman fime, it was elther Ga. m. or G p. m., ag we saw in & previous lesson. Instead of telling her her need. as Ie afd to Nicodemus, Tre hezun the conversation by dsking, her to supply His need (verse 7), mak- ing Timse!f dependent upon her for Physical refreshing. In the conversa- tlon which followed our Lord spoke: seven times, and the woman replted six times; Deeper and dgeper He te- vealed her life to pera) tt Ufe of which she probably thgught no one knew, and as the consciousness of her guilt grew upon her Ie increased the| revelation of Himself to her soul until He finally told her plainty that ‘it was the Messiah who was talking with her (verses, 25, 20). What an unheard of time ft was a3 He laid bare to her tho siefnl Hfo cho was leading, told her how {t might all be blotted. out an@ she become a well of living water to others! ‘The great change came, She had seen and recelred Him, and, leaving her water pot,-she went away into the city to fnvite the men to come and see the Messiab, who had told her all that ever she did (verses 27-30). Many belleved because of the test!- mony of the woman, and many more belleved because of His own word, which they heard for themselves (verses 3042, and they sald, “We Know that this ts Indeed the Christ, the Saviour of the world.” So they obtained Iife in Him, for to that end this pe was written (John xx, 31). In His conversation with the woman He first asked her for a drink of wa- ter, Then He offered to give her liv- Ing water, which would be in her a well of water springing up iato erer- lasting Ife (verses 7, 10, 14). At first she was ns ignorant of spiritual truths as was Nicodemus, and she thought that He-spoke onty of water from Ja- cob’s well. Then when He began to lay bare her sin she attempted to avoid the fssue, as many do today, by saying something like this: “I do not belong to your company.” He lala everything low in her-by speaking of God the Father as a Spirit and destr- ing true worshipers who would wor- ship Him in Spirit and tn trutts; by saying that salvation 1s of' the Jews.é and He was thelr Messlah (versed 21:26), ‘ We cannot but think of His saying to Istacl In the long ago that He was the fountain of living waters, but ther had forsaken Him for watera out of thelr own cisterns (Jer. tf, 13). ‘They had ceased to draw water with Joy eut of the wolls of salvation (Isa, xil, 3). When the disciples came to Him with meat which they had gone into the city to buy Mis reply to them was, “I have meat to cat that ye trow not of; my meat is to du the will cz [im that sent me and to finish [is work” (rerses 8, 31-34).

THE INTERNATIONAL SERIES. Text of the Lesson, John iv, 43-54. Memory Verses, 49-51—Golden Text, Matt. vii, 13—Commentary Prepared by Rev. D. M. Stearns. The story of today is called the second miracle in Galilee, and it was wrought at the same place as the first, in Cana of Galilee. Verses 46, 54, compare chapter 11, 2, 11. At the marriage he manifested forth His glory, and it was on a third day (chapter 11, 1, 11), and I must confess to a special delight in working out the third day and the glory or kingdom veins of truth in the Scriptures, believing that it is only as the glory of His kingdom takes hold of us that we shall be the faithful followers we ought to be in this present evil age. It would seem from verses 43, 46, that this was another third day event, though it is just possible that there may have been an interval of a day or two between the two verses, but I think not. The marriage of the Lamb is the next great event in the future, and, counting a thousand years as one day, it will probably be the third day in the morning. Somewhere about that time will be the redemption of Israel, as it is written in Hos. vi, 2: "After two days will He revive us; in the third day He will raise us up, and we shall live in His sight." Our Lord seemed to have the same thing in view when He said, "Behold, I cast out devils, and I do cures today and tomorrow, and the third day I shall be perfected" (Luke xiii, 82). It will be the time of the resurrection of a righteous Israel, according to Isa. xxv, 8, 9; xxvi, 19-21; Dan. xil, 1-3, when "the King of Israel, the Lord, shall be in the midst of them and they shall not see evil any more" (Zeph. iii, 15). Note the sayings already in this gospel concerning the Son of God, the King of Israel; heaven opened and Jacob's vision a reality, the temple of His body raised up, the kingdom which can only be entered by the new birth, the saying about the bridegroom and the bride, His declaration that he was the Messiah and His reference to the harvest (chapters 1. 50, 51, 11, 20, 21; 11, 3, 5, 29; iv, 20, 35) Surely we cannot but be fully persuaded that the kingdom and the glory were the joy ever before Him which enabled Him to endure (Heb. xli, 2). And how can we, His followers, hope to endure in any other way? This teaching will not bring us honor from men, but the honor which cometh from God only will more than suffice (iv, 44; v, 44). The Gallicans believed because they saw the things that He did at Jerusalem, and I do not know any truths which will work in us the Christ life like those concerning His coming and kingdom. A letter just in from the Philippines tells of a worker whom many people think queer because of these truths, but the remark was added that her lovely life wins many people to Him. That is the one thing worth while. The healing of the nobleman's son in this connection makes us think of the time of the kingdom when the inhabitant shall not say. I am sick; the people that dwell therein shall be forgiven their inquity (lsa, xxxill, 24). After He had spoken the kingdom truths of Matt. v-vii He gave samples of the kingdom in the healings of chapters vill and ix. While the kingdom is postponed because of His rejection, we may not expect kingdom miracles, though in His great grace He has wrought many for many of His simple minded believers and has made it manifestly true that His word stands "according to your faith be it unto you." We may journey with this nobleman and imagine something of his heartache as, having left his son at the point of death, he seeks the Great Physician. We may not know how He was encouraged to believe that the Lord Jesus would help him, for the healings at Capernaum of the demon possessed man, and Peter's wife's mother, and the centurion's servant, and the ruler's daughter, seem all to have taken place after this. But he must somehow have seen or heard enough to convince him that here there was help for him, though he seemed to think it necessary that Jesus should accompany him home (verse 49). That gracious word, "Go thy way; thy son liveth" (verse 50), did its work in both father and son, for the father went his way believing and found on reaching home the next day that the boy had been healed at the very time that Jesus had said the word. One result was that the man's whole household believed in Jesus. Just as the Gallleans who had been to Jerusalem saw His works and believed, so this household saw and believed, and there are still those who need to see something of the power and grace of God in human lives to lead them to believe, and they ought to see it. For His life should be manifest in His redeemed (II Cor. iv, 10, 11). For saved souls like Thomas it is always true "Blessed are they that have not seen, yet have believed" (John xx, 29). The verb "to believe" is found in some form in this gospel ninety-nine times and reminds us that without faith it is impossible to please God, and also that the only way to be filled with joy and peace is by believing (Heb. xi, 6; Iom. xv, 13). We may well ask ourselves. Do we know this same Jesus? --- Weekly Church News FIRST BRYAN BAPTIST CHURCH The morning service of the church was conducted by Rev. Sutton.

The pastor and officers, upon having the furnace examined, found it inadequate to properly heat the church; thus it became absolutely necessary to install a new heating plant. This furnace is by no means a luxury, but a necessity, a burning necessity for the comfort of both pastor and people while carrying on the Master's work. Owing to the many obligations resting upon us as a church, we must appeal to you, dear friend and co-laborers, to help us in this worthy effort for better church accommodations. On behalf of the pastor, Dr. D. Augustine Reld one whom you all know we beg of you, dear friend, to lend us a helping hand. We have organized and placed in the field a band of "Crusaders" who stand for such noble virtues as constancy, truthfulness, purity, gentleness and unselfish service for God and humanity. They have entered into an active campaign for 60 days. You will know them by the shield they wear. Their names will also be published. A monthly report will be made through The Tribune of all money received. Our committee will call upon various organizations, churches, lodges, etc., at an early date.

Jan. 27-At the last meeting of the National Negro Business League which was held in an as- City, Mo., in August, 1916, a number of invitations from various cities were presented and considered, but the executive committee decided to accept the invitation from the committee from Chatanooga, Tenn., which was headed by Mr. W. Franklin, Jr. Mr. Franklin who is a successful undertaker, has been for many years closely associated with the work of the Business League, and has served as president of the National Negro Undertakers' Association, an affiliated organization of the league, since its organization. Already plans are shaping themselves for the success of this meeting. President J. C. Napier of Nashville considers it rather a fortunate circumstance that in the first year of his incumbency the annual meeting should be held in his state. He, Secretary Immett J. Scott, Mr. Franklin and other officers and members of the National Executive Committee are working together even now upon problems of entertainment, railroad rates and accommodations, and every indication points to a meeting of success and accomplishment.

NEWS OF THE NATION'S CAPITOL (Continued from page one) tending his felicitations to his former classmates. The council displayed deep interest in Prof. Moore's recital of the disadvantages suffered by colored children in the rural districts of the South and of the helpful work that is now being done to relieve their educational needs. His tribute to the labors of the late Dr. Booker T. Washington in this connection was warmly applauded and his story of the efforts made by the founder of Tuskegee Institute to carry the light to the Negro children in the black belt of the South through the medium of the Jeans fund, was listened to with rapt attention. Prof. Moore was shown every consideration at the annual banquet of the alumni Miss Nannie H. Burroughs' mid-winter festival is proceeding interestingly at the Metropolitan A. M. E. church, Mme. Anita Patti Brown was greeted by an overflowing house on Monday evening and Mr. Clarence Cameron White divided honors with her. The home singers included Mrs. Burroughs' student chorus and Col. Roscoe Conkling Simmons is to close the successful season Friday night with an oration covering the salient points in the lives of Frederick Douglass and Abraham Lincoln. The festival is a part of the campaign to raise $3,000 in ten days for the erection of a trades building at the National Training school for Women and Girls. The two wings of the colored inaugural committee refuse to flap together. One is headed by Col. James H. W. Howard and T. Wallace Swan and the other is led by A. H. Underdown, J. Fiuley Wilson and Fountain Peyton. A handsome potrait of the late James F. Bundy has been presented to the Howard University Law School and now adorns the walls of that historic institution. For many years Mr. Bundy was secretary of the law department and was largely instrumental in bringing up the high standard it enjoys today. The portrait was the gift of the senior law class and the presentation address was delivered by George W. Daniels, president of the class. Mrs. Daisy W Henson announces that she will continue the business of the Northwest Undertaking establishment founded by her late husband, Mr. Alexander Henson. Mr. Samuel H. Glover has taken 11 reg of the properties at 11 to 10 E-street northwest, formerly conducted as the hotel west. The place is being thoroughly renovated and its department will be up-to-date in every respect. The legislature of the State of Missarilis endorsed the candidacy of Dr. William J. Thompkins of Kansas City for the post of surgeon-in-chief of Freedmen's hospital, now occupied 1; Dr William A. Worfield Freedmen's hospital is the largest and finest appointed institution of its kind in the world for the care of colored patients. Counsellor T. Gillis Nutter, former grand exalted ruler of the Order of Elks, spent a portion of last week in the city, circulating among old friends. Mr. Robert D. Harlan, until recently conducting the "Toggery Shop" is now in the automobile business. He is doing nicely. Prof. Richard Theodore Greener, Harvard's first colored graduate, will be here for inaugural week, coming on from Chicago. At the recent dedication of the new Dunbar High school, Dr. C. Sumner Wormley won new laurels by the rendition of number of baritone soloes in connection with the program of Monday evening. Two of the selections chose by the eminent baritone were "African Maid" and "Who Knows", compositions of Paul Lawrence Dunbar. Mrs. Mary Church Terrell, the recognized leader of the colored women suffragists of this community has been doing "picket duty" at the White House. --- No alarm is felt because of the agitation of Col. Giles B. Jackson for an appropriation by Congress for the establishment of a "Negro West Point" at Richmond, Va., for the instruction of the colored brother in military science. If these should be any sentiment for a training school for Negro officers, the logical thing for Congress to do would be the addition of a military department at Howard University, which is already an endowed government institution. * * * The manipulators of that threatened "school bomb" say they are waiting until after the inauguration to explode it. They claim to have the real goods and that the sensation will wake the echoes at the Franklin Building as nothing else has done since the memory of man runmeth not to the contrary. Miss Jeannette Carter, the energetic pension attorney, is doing a splendid work in organizing the wage-earning colored women of the District and affiliating them with the American federation of Labor. Making labor dignified and the performance of it of efficient are objects worthy of the race's most intelligent and persistent activity. There is an insistent demand for small apartments for colored people in the U street district. A capitalist and builder like Harry Wardman could make another fortune by buying up the vacant lots and tumbling down shacks and erecting houses and renting them to Negroes at moderate rates. Mr. Fred R. Moore, publisher of the New York Age, has been visiting relatives in the city. Mr. Joseph H. Montgomery has been rinstated in the Treasury Department. Rev. F. F.

Moton, saw to it that the great crowd was shown every possible courtesy. The movement to consolidate the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People with a prospective local branch of the National League on Urban Conditions and to correlate the work of both with the social settlement system established here, seems THE SAVANNAH TRIBUNE to have gotten lost in the scuffle. former trustee of Howard University, growing out of the death of Bishop Alexander Walters, will not be filled until May.

ATLANTA UNIVERSITY NOTES Atlanta, Ga., Feb. 12—Atlanta University is soon to have a visit from Prof. W. E. B. DuBois, formerly its professor of Sociology and now editor of the Crisis. Atlanta University will never entirely relinquish its hold upon Dr. DuBois although she has had to give him up for his larger service for New York and the nation. President Ware has returned to the North to continue its crusade for an endowment fund commemorating the fiftieth anniversary of Atlanta University. So far he has had signal success which we all think presages his final success. What the colored people think of Atlanta University is being eloquently told in the contributions they are making to the endowment fund. One gift of $250, several of $100 and still more of $50. Only three below $5.00 have so far come in. Of course, a great many gifts of one dollar are coming after a while from those who had no direct connection with the University, but it is a splendid showing that all of the colored people are making. One southern white man has given $500 dollars and still others have made promises. This is as it should be. There has never been any good thing for the colored people done or asked in Georgia in which Atlanta University didnot have a share. That's why the colored people love it.

Phone 3534 RACE IDENTITY ALONE DOES NOT SELL GOODS Must Give as Much as Any Other Competitor WEEKLY LETTER OF NEGRO BUSINESS LEAGUE By J. C. Lindsay It can be truly said that the average Negro business man is learning to handle his difficult business problems with as much ease as members of any other race who have had no more training along the same line than the average Negro has had. However, we must become aroused and be on the alert when it comes to looking out for the wants of our clients, patrons and customers. It might seem to some of us who may be engaged in business, that our own kith and kin should trade and do business with us, whether our goods and wares measure up to that high standard set by the other fellow or not. But, Mr. Negro-Business-Man, let us be absolutely fair with ourselves, they are not going to do it. Our people are not going to trade and do business with us, simply because we are Negroes. We will have to learn to put more into our business than the simple fact that we are Negroes. If the other fellow who has had freedom nigh on to a thousand years, with all the natural, as well as acquired facilities for getting ahead and staying ahead, find it necessary to keep his place of business clean, well-ventilated, well lighted, and his stock of goods free from cob-web, dust and fly specks plus the fact that he himself, as well as all his help being absolutely polite, painstaking and accommodating; then we ask this question, if all of this be necessary on the part of the other fellow how may we, the child race in this country, expect to succeed without at least adopting some of these business-getting methods which have brought and are still bringing success to the other fellow? There, perhaps, is no member of the race who is more thoroughly filled with optimism concerning the future material, educational and political advancement of the race in this country than the writer of this weekly letter. But I believe that all of these racial developments must be planned and built upon the sure foundation of the manly confidence which one has in himself. It goes without saying, that our business is bound to fail when we haven't confidence enough in our own ability to think that we can keep it alive. Cowards and doubting Thomases always make the impossibilities which they fear and which at times overwhelm them. But the man whose mind is made up that he is going to succeed, not because of obstacles, but in spite of them, whether he be banker, newspaper man, real estate dealer, lawyer, merchant, insurance man, physician, or any of the other what nots, is bound to make the world know that a man in his special line has been on the job. We said to begin with, that we, as a race are learning to handle our business problem with as much ease as the other fellow. Mark you, we did not say with ease, but "with as much ease" as the other fellow. No business problems are handled with ease. Indeed, there are no easy places where the foundation laying and pioneer work is being done for this child race of ours. If we are to fly our kites, surely we must brace the winds. Have we thought seriously of what is meant by "bracing the wind?" We must meet and face the fierce winds of competition, and not suffer ourselves to be driven off of our course, but with unflagging energy and full to the brim with enthusiasm, there are no powers on earth or the waters, under the earth which will be able to keep us always in the middle of a bad fix. There is no rubbing it out, the Negroes in Savannah certainly patronize their men and women in business. None of our business people can offer any reasonable and sane kick for not getting their portion of Negro trade in this city. All that is needed is to give business in a business way. Next meeting Friday evening February 16. Come early. THANKSGIVING COMMITTEE The annual Thanksgiving committee of the G. U. O. of O.

The day was ideal and most of the churches were crowded. The Beaufort Mercantile and Realty Company has sold their Bay street property known as the auditorium The Morrell Furniture Company were the purchasers.

In loving but sad memory of our faithful and beloved wife and mother, Mrs. Eliza E. Lowe, who departed this life February 15, 1915. Two years ago we saw The light fade out from A beautiful life of a loyal friend, As such we shall have no more. Until at the dawn of that beautiful morn, When we shall see her face again. The her chair is vacant, her place unfilled In our hearts and in our home. Dear is the spot that protects her dust, And heaven where her spirit is gone. In loving but sad memory we await the hour. the hour When we too, shall share her joy. Heaven is brighter, angels are happier, To welcome her spirit with theirs, Earth is poor and lonely too, To those she has left behind. In sad but loving memory of our sweet baby, Robert B. Densler, who died February 12, 1916. Baby, rest from toll and sorrow Death is oer and life is won; Upon thy slumber dawns no morrow, Rest, thine earthly race is run. Fare thee well tho pain is blending, With our tones of earthly love; Triumph great and joy unending, Wait thee in the realms above. Safely rest with Christ forever, in His mighty boundless love; From Him never more to sever, Soon we will be with thee above. Loving parents Mr. and Mrs. Benjamin Densler, Jr. Miss Anna L. Prichard, Aunt Matilda J. Densler, Sister In dear loving remembrance of our beloved brother, Baker F. Reid, who departed this life February 12, 1912. Dear brother, you left us, and have gone all the way of the dead. It seems as though it were today when you said "It is well with my soul." We cannot forget the hymn "Jesus lover of my soul, let me to your bosom fly." Oh, what a delight in Christ it is. What a refuge in Christ. Sleep on dear brother, sleep. Some day we will all meet and cast the anchor by the fair celestial shore. Residence 642 West 40th street. Mr. and Mrs. S. J. Reid Sylvester Reid, Jr. John. W. Reid Willie F. Reid Eugene E.

The angel called thee, The soul took its immortal flight; To a beautiful, promised land, Beyond the swelling tide. A dear, loving one, from us is gone. A vacancy is in our home, Which no earthly soul can fill. God sent an angel from heaven, To comfort and heal our wounded hearts. Hark! listen, what is the sound? Do I hear the noise of wings? Do I hear an echo of angels' voices? Descending softly from above, Welcome, loved one, home at last. In loving memory of our loved one, John S. Quarterman, who departed this life February 12, 1915. A precious one from us is gone, A voice we loved is still; A place is vacant in our home, Which never can be filled. Dearest love one, we have laid thee, In the peaceful grave's embrace; But thy memory will be cherished. Till we see thy loving face. Loving wife and children, Mrs. Lavinia Quarterman Mr. and Mrs. J.

The truth of the matter is that many Colored business men have neither kept pace with the broadening and discriminating tastes of the Colored customer nor with the specialized efforts of their white competitors. "It's a far cry" from sentiment to business. This is the age of specialized selling methods and the Colored merchant must "fall in" or "fall out." The difference between the business which is "mighty fine" and "just so-so" is the difference in merchandising methods. We can help you to put your business into the "mighty fine" class.
