That the affair will eclipse anything ofthe kind ever held herc 4s the expectation of those who have the celebration in charge.

B.

Tenacity begets encduragement, and encouracément begets ambition... and ambition Wegets success. Too often It has happened that some of our people in business hecome discouraged be- cause dull seasons and deypondency along thelr line, especinlly when they follow the old time pessimistic views of business by waiting for somefbing to turn up, rather than to go and turn something up. . The time has come that the Negro in business must go out in the avenues of Jhix line and look up the bpsiness by meeting competition and nsing-good Aiplomacy, and last but not least, ex- ercise business courtesy. Who wants to trade with a man in business that feels or acts as if it is’a favor to his customers to patronize bis business? It is also a question that remains un- answered as to who wants to trade or patronize a business where the pro- prictor or help appear to be too im- patient to show thelr goods or explain sufliciently to the customer to satis- f+ them that the article is desirable or wanted. It frequently happens up town that Negro customers are snub- hed and insulted by thoughtless and inconsistent white clerks; many times to the detriment of the proprictor’s business, and after all the writer is of the opinion that such” unnecessary, insults are not made as detrimental and expensive as they shonld be, be cause all such stoies who retain help that is not willing to, at least be courteous and pollie to their constt- tuaney whether white or black should be branded and boscotted. Iusiness, in the trne sense of the word, has no color, neither has a dollar. A dol- lar holds as much value coming from black hands as it dors coming from white hands, Thérefore, people in business rust Jearn that a dollar fs one hundred cents tegardiess to the source from .which, it “comes. ° Politeness is one of the greatest assets A business can have, and yet, fe te fhe eheppect reset a hneiness exn have. ho why not use a plenty of It, since it is priceless and costless, ang yet, 50 valuable.

This does not mean, however, that there are not new things coming to pass every day or so, or that the styles for midwinter are uninteresting. Far from it! New York is turning out in tunics! Everywhere one sees them, on everytype of dress. Pleated, gathered, long (1) short shaped or plain, they are emphasizing the fact that the long line is the smart line. Indeed, there are just cause for their popularity, for they add height to the short one and slimness to the stout one, and cover up, as if were, a multitude of sins. Tonic Talk Your waist may be very, very plain; your sleeves very, very light; and your skirt very—well, not very narrow; but your tunic must be there, falling in the long straight folds gained by pleats or gathers. The ever-ready serge dress is tunicked, and the costume for afternoon occasions is tunicked. On the newest evening dresses the tunics are of net or lace and they, too, adhere to the straight silhouette. But doesn't it seem like auniform? No, not at all, for every tunic has a way of its own; and it's the fad of the hour to see how one may disguise the tunic, and still remain true to it. When One Wear Velvet Severely plain and yet adorably smart and becoming is the black vel ```markdown ``` Box Pleated Tunic and Surplice Waist vet gown or overdress illustrated here. The tunic (for, of course, there is one) is faced back with white satin; and the turnover collar, which makes of itself a side issue, is also of white satin. White pearl buttons fasten the waist on the shoulder and under the arm. With white-topred shoes or spats, white kid gloves and a hat of white pannet velvet the picture is perfect. If One Shate and everyone does this year—there are so many fascinating accessories to complete one's happiness. New concepts are seen every day in the hat scarf and bag field, and many are absolutely bewitching. One set I saw the other day at an in-door ice-sink where Fashion is learning to waltz and two-step, was of brown dyvetyn trimmed with beaver. The hat had one of those high soft crowns that can so easily be adjusted to the wearer's satisfaction, and it was stitched loosely in THE SAVANNAH TRIBUN wool a shade darker than the tone of the hat. The wile bril as bounded o. the ge eyer. The scar collar on the side arm oat, and it, too, was hoodered beaver. The n-shaped with a long strap to go over the arm; two or three prowr of beaver ran down it. The sets are easy to make and add a great deal of distinction to the sports costume. Then, there are bags to carry skates, and leather affairs with one's initials in silver or brass. Muffs are not carried while skating for they are only in the way, and the vigorous exercise soon warms the coldest hands. There seems to be nothing one cannot do with them this year, from the built bag through lingerie, to the ancient Egypt and the far East evening dress. The shades are wonderful, and some of the designs, copied are almost historically interesting. They are making bustles of ribbon, wide two-toned ribbon of satin or velvet; they are making camisoles and even pajamas of wide satin ribbon; in fact, ribbon is a recognized material for the winter. Hats, of course, and bags dainty suchet and other novelties for Christmas gifts one expects to find in ribbon. Box Pleats and Surplice Waist Type of the most popular of the season's styles are the box-plated tunic and the surplice waist. Illustrated here is a charming example. Note the narrow underskirt and the tight sleeves. The wide belt does not hug the figure too closely, but gives the long straight line from the shoulder to the hem. The wide loose belt is a distinct feature of the mode. The absence of trimming gives an added distinction to this frock. In the Superior Court of said County, October 1917. The petition of P. J.

VIRGINIA INSTITUTE HAS SUCCESSFUL TERM Institute, W. Va.—The West Virginia Collegiate Institute in this town has had a most successful fall term. The students have worked hard and are showing a loyalty to the school that has already won the admiration of President Byrd Fritterman and the faculty. They are practicing strict economy in food, dress and the use of fuel. This institution has pledged $787 to the student friendship war fund and the teachers, students and employees subscribed $2,000 to the Liberty Loan as a part of their share in helping America with the war. More than twenty students and graduates of the school have been drafted and are now at the various training camps, of the six who went to Port Des Moines, one has been commissioned as captain, and two as lieutenants. Two teachers have also gone to the front in the present conflict. "They are Professors D. L. Ferguson and Glidon E. Smith. The athletic department, although deprived of some of its best players has been quite successful. It won a signal victory from Howard University on that institution's own campus. The holiday spirit now prevaides the student body and many will go to their homes for the Christmas vacation. LEGAL NOTICE Georgia. Chatham County. Newark, N.

The occasion was a mass-meeting held under the auspices of the Newark City Young People's Union at the New Hope Baptist church. Marshall M. Hayes deserves much credit for the leading part which he took in working up the meeting which was both profitable and enthusiastic. The Union is doing good work among the young people of the city by showing them how to use the opportunities opened to them for education, employment and religious service. It also endeavors to do real social service by looking out for the hundreds of new emigrants from the south who are unacquainted with the ways of northern city life. Mr. Dodson made a strong plea to the young folks to be loyal to home, church, the race and the nation-in these perilous times. First A. B. church, Franklin square Rev. T. J. Goodall, pastor. The early prayer meeting was led by Dea. Williams. Devotions were conducted by Lic. Robinson, after which the pastor preached an able sermon. Sunday school began at the usual hour. The lesson was demonstrated by the superintendent. A large number was present at the B. Y. P. U. and an excellent program was rendered. On-to-morrow at 11 a. m. the pastor will preach a Christmas sermon. Order of services: Prayer meeting 5:30 a. m.; preaching 11:30 a. m.; Sunday school 10 a. m.; B. Y. P. U. 6:30; preaching 8 p. m. It is estimated by one of the employment agencies that 900 colored men have found jobs through its intercession since the closing of the saloons made it necessary for them to change their occupations. There is a big demand for colored men and women in domestic service and for school boys for work that can be done after or before school hours. A.

To our brothers who live in the States: Should you have an opportunity to talk to any of the brotheen in your neighborhood, say to them that down in Mexico there is a little band of workers, whose brows are dripping with the dews of conscientious labor, who are trying to assist you and one another in shedding the true light to all the world.—Mexican Masonic Journal. Duty Masonry lays on us the duty to lead clean, pure, useful temperate and charitable lives; that in every condition and circumstance of life we should remember our high calling; that we should know and do charity, not only in the relief of financial distress, but in all the manifestations that love distates to the just and generous heart; that we should never forget our duties as citizens and in all the responsibilities of citizenship be true in private and public life; that in the home relations our lives shall be such that content, comfort and happiness shall reign, and that as we journey through life we shall hold aloft the light of truth, making clear the way to those who follow—Masonic Journal. Scarcely a Masonic discourse is pronounced, or a Masonic lesson read by the highest officer or the humblest lecturer that does not earnestly teach two extremely simple and profound principles—love of God and love of our fellow man. That is the one true religion and it is the very spirit of Masonry, its light and power, its basis and apex. Upon that faith it rests; and in that faith it lives, and by that faith it will conquer, putting the doubts and bigotries of men to shame with its simple insight, and the dignity of its golden voice.—Selected. Are You A Mason? When anyone asks you the question: "Are you a Mason?" what is your answer in sincerity and truth? Do you answer according to the accepted form without thought of its import? Do you answer in the affirmative without reference to the ritual; but just as thoughtlessly? Or do you answer thoughtfully and earnestly with thankfulness in your heart that your answer is truthful? In this present day and generation there are Masons and Masons and Masons—three distinct types and kinds—each holding firmly to the thoughts the ideas, or the ideals which actuated them when seeking admission to our ranks and light upon our mysteries. One class of Masons is composed of men who have entered the fold for the good they hoped to get. Another class is composed of men who find in the ritualistic work of our bodies that satisfaction which comes from the approbation of their fellow men. While the third class is composed of men who see in Masonry an opportunity to give No man has any right to question the motives of another. No such question is implied in the outline of classes here given. No criticism of be thoughs or actions of others is intended to be expressed. No thoughts of condemnation is in the mind of the writer. No desire is in his heart to do anything but give light and serve those who appear to him to be in darkness. Every man desires the utmost of good that can come to him—but many know not the way to secure it. Many seek for something all their lives but fail to find it. Many trust in the approbation of their fellows to give that which they seek—and their trust is not placed where it should be. But the man who knows—and who knows that he knows, has learned that every good thing comes to him who gives of his time, his energies and his money to those who need his care, his ministrations and his assistance. If your life is not filled with every good thing—seek to get by giving. If your heart years for aprobation of your fellows—seek that approbation by trying to serve—and the good-will you seek will be showered upon you spontaneously. If your greatest desire in life is to do good—you need no guide or suggestion—because you have learned the lesson which reads—"Cast thy bread upon the waters for it shall return unto you after many days."—Contributed. --- That man who accepts the humblest place in the lodge, and realizes that his position is as important in its relation to the work of the lodge as that of the Master, has stood the test of fitness for office, and in time he will be found in the east, reflecting honor and dignity upon the lodge.—Selected. That which is morally wrong cannot be legally right.—Gladstone. The following speaks for itself, and shows how well our home is getting along: Oglethorpe, Ga., Dec. 12. 1917. Dr. H. R. Butler, G. M. This will inform you that I spent a week in Americus recently, hotting an institute for the teachers of Sumter county; and while there I made a visit to "Our Home". I just simply want to inform you how I was impressed with the manner in which things are conducted there now. It was on Thanksgiving Day that I made my visit and I found so many good things there for the pleasure and comfort of the children. Mr. and Mrs. Humbert seem to have the welfare of the children and home at heart, and seem to have everything moving along very smoothly. I feel that you brother Masons are doing a moble work in maintaining and supporting such a worthy institution, and we sisters are always glad to help you. Our Chapter plans sending a Christmas box to the children. Yours truly. The capturing of Jerusalem by the English army is an important event, and very significant to every Mason. There the Temple was erected by King Solomon, and around which Masonic history is closely allied and blended. Its retention means that important discoveries will be made and history substantiated abut its building and its contents. We extend to the brotherhood of the entire Jurisdiction, a "Merry Christmas." --- Next Thursday will be St. John's day. It should be appropriately observed by each lodge.

For our com- mon welfare we must strive to cure disease wherever we find it, strengthen whatever is weak, and develop all that is undeveloped. The inadequate provi- slon for the education of the Negro fs inore than an injustice to him; it is an injury’to the white man.” Escept in very rare instances the ap- propriations for Negro education, Fural and urban, have not only been perfunc- ‘tory, but designed only, to.mect, the re- quirements of such legislation as has been enacted in the interest of the eil- ueation of Negro children, This has been the case because the majority of white administrators have Incked sym- pathy and interest in Negro education and have had ho yiston of its direct and vital relation to the white race and to the civilization and development of tho South. . ‘What little has been appropriated In this behalf ovt of the state and lo- cst school funds bas been siren and left to the care of Itself, as It were. ‘There has heen such ttle study and consideration ‘and planning of Negro systems, city and county and state, ‘that much of the potential in such ap propriations as ‘have been made has heen lost through, lack of supervision and direction. ee Tn thé smaller and ‘rural schools, plain negléct has been thé rule, while in the larger and city schools the sup- erintendents of. supervisors responsible to-a critical and exactirig white con- stituency. have given only thelr spare and fragmentary time to the Negro schools, or they have’run them through their agents, the principals. : Chaotic condition could only re- stilt from such a‘recime, No element of procress or stimulus could survive! such operation or atmosphere.

THE ‘SAVANNAH-TRIBUNE; "© SATURDAY DEC. 22, 1917 large tax payers, to the rich—very fow, pitliully few children, could enter the common schools, because the great ma-. jority of people are poor. Very few ‘whites, we mean, could be enrolled in the public schools, Ey ‘ Then there is a serious dificulty to “be found in equitably apportioning between the two races thelr proper shares of the corp--ation taxes, fines duties, ete, all of whfch go to the , School fund, Furthermore, and important too is ‘the fact that the taxes on rental prop- erty are actually and certainly paid by the tenant, the landlord acting as his agent in paying it over to the tax col- lector. The Negro renter pays the “taxes on the property he occupies. Who will dispute these plain facts? How have these conditions held on for years and years, except through the ifmorance and thoughtlessness and ,tn- difference of the masses of Negro peo- ple, coupled with the studied schemes of the white administrators of public school funds whith aim to profit to greater extent than thelr due in educa- tlon of their own children. , It would not do to awaken Negroes on this point. Let them “sleep*on” as ‘to their’rights under the constitution and the Iaw, This is the policy of the white cducation boards as a general rule. A very few of them are taking “a more Iberal view of recent years, mostly in the city communities, Negroes, heretofore, have exercised only thelr privilege of petition to the governing and administrating anthort- ty. They have not known of their right of protest. It will be a good thing when they do learn of thelr due privileges and rights in public bene- fits which are supported out of public fonds. 1 Few Negroes, even of the so-called edneated, know anything about how the |somnon schools are financed, how the funds are derived, and what is their _Just and equitable portion under the law. They have been too derelict to investigate. * : Not many more know what consti- tutes good school equipment, suitable stndy-plan and curricula, and efficient method and teaching.

Gamible and Hailey of Texas, President Jones an- nounced today the personel of the com- rowan ehieh jit is understood, will meet a like commission from the South- ern Baptist Convention and take un- der consideration certain matters ‘af- fecting the Negro Baptist throughout the country. It was also learned here that the incorporated convention which held a session at Muskogee Inst Sep- tember, has appointed a commission for the same purpose, but it could not be learned definitely whether or not these threo commissions, two colored era one white. would meet at the same time and place, It was learned through President Jones, that in fol- lowing the spirit of the resolution and carrying out the request of the con- yentlon, he biled his time, looked over the field and appointed the men he couddered capable to take‘up and dis- ense dispassionntely any matter per- taining to the future welfare of the Negro ‘Paptists. ‘The commission as appointed is Rev. D. B. Gaines. D. D., editor of the Peo- ple's Defender, Little Rock, Ark.; Rev. Geo. W. Alexander, D, D., Vicksburg, Miss; Rev. Jno. "W. Hurse, D. D., Kansas City, Mo.; Rev. E. W. Bowen, D.

It 1s understood that this commission ‘of seven will In all probability hold a meeting, organize and then await the notice from the Socthern Whité Baptists as to time and place. For the past year, it seems from what can be picked up in this state that there are continued rumors rel- ative to peace, It was sald here this week that one of the strong corpor- ation men of Philadelphia has issued 2 pabphlet telling how peace could be obtained among the Negro Baptists and that another editor in wen has responded to one Rev.
