EDITOR CONSERVATOR:—The District Conference of the St. Joseph District Central Missouri Conference was held at Independence August 23-27. Devotion service was conducted by the Presiding Elder on the morning of opening. At 9 o'clock the Presiding Elder called the meeting to order and proceeded to business. Rev W H Wheeler, who has been secretary for a number of years, was re-elected and chose as his assistant Rev F C B Washington of Armstrong. On opening morning 35 members reported at roll call. Throughout the entire devotional exercises and business meetings a Christlike spirit prevailed, and each one present felt like it was good to be there. From beginning to end a more interesting meeting has not been held in the district. Each evening was made very interesting with preaching, anniversaries, and other features that go to make similar occasions a crowning success. All of the papers and discussions were well prepared, and many of them showed extraordinary scholarship JUST RE A COMPLE SILKS JACKETS MILLINERY DRESS GOODS CRAVENETTE COATS wash Dress Material Manufacture.

When the battle was over, the smoke cleared away, and while the army was at paraderest, the spy reported that $212 had been raised toward the liquidation of the debt. The total finances raised for all purposes during the session was $253.50. the greatest amount yet raised at any district conference in the district. This closed the sextennial term of Dr. J. Will Jackson as presiding elder of the St. Joseph district, as a token of respect the conference presented him a beautiful present. Dr. Jackson has made a splendid presiding officer, and has at all times held up the intellectual dignity of the conference.

Willene Jackson, the distinguished daughter of Dr. J. Will Jackson, appeared before a large and appreciative audience at Burns' Chapel, M. E. church, Kansas City, Mo., Friday evening September 8. Few vocalists on the platform have so many points in their favor that are calculated to win with the average audience as Miss Jackson. Her voice is rich, full, clear, pleasing and carries well. As a soprano soloist, she is easy, graceful, dramatic and effective. Her renditions were considered by the best and most critical musicians to be among the best ever given in the city. J. M. HARRIS, Pastor. NOTE TO PARENTS. OFFICIAL NOTICE OF COMPUL SORY ATTENDANCE LAW. Children Must Go to School. Law Fixes the Ages at Which Attendance Must be En- In as much as the city school and the county school commissioners have fixed the date for opening the public schools, it will be of interest to parents to again look at the compulsory attendance school law, the author of which is Mr. E. E. Johnston, of this city. The law prescribes that the act be posted conspicuously in public places prior to the opening of the school, and in consequence this is being done in every county in the state. The new attendance law requires that every child between 8 and 14 years of age, and between 10 and 16, when not regularly employed, shall go to some day school at least half of the term each year. If a child asks to be excused on a promise to attend it will do him no good. He must first show a certificate showing his completion of half the session of some day school. But here are five reasons, any one of which are sufficient for a child to get an excuse from the courts having jurisdiction or justice of the peace in rural districts and in cities having less than 50,000 population. These are (1) parents cannot supply proper Ed William's RESTAURANT, month. hours, day and night. of the best Chefs in the city.

Mo. clothing, (2) child is mentally or physically unable to attend, (3) no public school in two and one- half miles of the home, (4) labor of child is necessary to support of family, (5) child has completed common school course. Any child between 8 and 14 who does not have a statement from his teacher to the effect that he has attended half term for that school year cannot be employed in a mine, factory, workshop or store. The truant officers in the cities and the district clerks in the rural districts must report all failures of children to comply with the provisions of the law to the parents or guardians. Parents and guardians must suffer the penalty for non-attendance of children under their control. The maximum is $25, or imprisonment for ten days, one or both. If a child is employed illegally the employer is subject to a fine of $50 and costs. A. W. M'KENZIE, Secretary School Board. --- CORRESPONDENCE DEPARTMENT Social, Religious and Business Happenings of the Week. Miss Della Anderson of Waverly, is the guest of Mrs Nettie Henderson.

After changing our clothing we had quite an enjoyable chat with Mr. Lee Steverson, proprietor of a 100 acre farm. He flatly informed us that we could not lodge at his house over night but the Editor soon put in some weighty arguments that won him over. Having partaken of a good supper, we visited the home of Sam Shannon. He was enjoying a dry cut by a glow fire. His wife and baby made the evening pleasant for us. Wednesday morning we slept—all slept until a late hour, because of a heavy rain. Fortunately for us the rain abated about 10 o'clock. Messrs Joseph and W. S. Steverson accompanied us on a horse back ride through the country. Our first stop was made at the home of Henry Fisher, where Rev. Divers had made trouble for the chickens and corn field. Mrs. Fisher very kindly handed us the proper change for another year's continuance. Our intention was to look in on Hudson Smith, but we found that he was absent. So, we rode up to the home of Ike Buford, who divined our purpose at once. Having no cash on hand, he proceeded to write a check on one of the most reliable banks in Saline County. For this he received our thanks. At Harvey Smith's we had a time cracking jokes and counting money. Some how, we wished the years were only six months long so we might visit these boys oftener. When we arrived at the home of J. E. Pollard, we found him on the outside of the house and boyish looking "Hud" Smith was within. Both gentlemen greeted us cordially and we were pleased to receive a reward from brother "Hud" and to add Mr. Pollard to our list of new subscribers. Poor Joe Steverson, we lost him down at Harvey Smith's. He could not leave water melons long enough to attend to business. W. S. Steverson, South Grove's prospective Negro doctor, told us that our next stop would be at George Hayes. So here we stopped and had a very helpful conversation with this veteran trader and his wife and son. Gladly did he enroll his name on our list as a new one and he, also, exhorted us to push the CONSERVATOR to the front. On our hellowing at John Carter's gate, he soon appeared with check book in hand. We regretted that we should be the cause of stopping him from doing repair work on his home. But, of course, we graciously took the check and smiled him a sweet, "Thank you." Horace Cooper told us that he would soon "Come across" and the Rev. Monroe Jones, after having read one copy said that we might send him a few issues to quicken his appetite for good reading. Our morning's round having been made, we returned to the Steverson home in time for dinner. Uncle Lee seemed to have some doubts as to whether we should eat or not. But as you will know, dear reader, Editors must eat. And, eat we did. South Grove's prosperous Negro farmers presented us with a real example of what the Negro in the rural district may do. With a good school already open and a cultured teacher, in the person of Prof. F. R. Perkins at its head, we saw great possibilities for race development. This community has well organized Negro homes, cultured and chaste children in its schools and an industrious class of citizens to deal with. Our only regret was that we should have to sever ourselves from this community's pleasant surroundings so soon. BEGINNING OF SCHOLASTIC WORK FOR YEAR 1905-'06. Monday morning will witness the opening of Lincoln School for another year's work. A very proficient corps of teachers have been employed and their assignments made. Signs are auspicions for a good years work, provided the parents do their duty in sending their children and placing them in the absolute care of the teacher. Tuesday morning, the roster of George R. Smith College will be opened for the enrollment of students. Young men and women of Central Missouri should not fail to enter some school this fall. This College offers some special advantages that cannot be fully appreciated, until the student comes in personal touch with them. Hence, we urge upon them the necessity of coming and enrolling the First day, September 19. ```markdown ``` A COMMENDABLE INNOTATION Until very recent it has been open the casket containing our funeral enquiries for public inspection M.

MARTIN REED. Miss Jackson has ended a successful series of concerts in Iowa. Her last engagements was in Buxton on Sept 4th. There she sang in the large Auditorium to a crowded house. The Buxton Eagle "says, "V. Willene Jackson, the young laky that made her appearance before the cultured and refined audience of Buxton last Monday evening., completely charmed and chained her audience. Her songs were of the highest class, and the great wonder is, her ability to reach the exceedingly high tones with all ease. Her voice is sweet as can be, and clear as a bell. Wonderful is her power of song. She is truly the Beautiful Queen of song." Tuesday the 5th, she was to appear in St Joseph, Mo., but concert had to be postponed owing to the very heavy rain. Wednesday evening she sang in the M. E. Church at Independence, Mo. Thursday evening she sang in Burns Chapel, Kansas City. Mo. The audience that greeted her there was one of the most selective and musically critical that tat city, among the Negroes. Monday evening Sept. 11, she captivated a large audience at Butler Mo. Wednesday evening Sept3, she returned to independence where she most creditably appeared before a large and intelligent audience at the A. M. E. Church, pastored by Rev. Jas. Allen. She will return to Kansas City for two other engagements, he latter part of the week. The CONSERVATOR and friends wish this young lady a continue success. --- --- From Eminent men— It is a very able magazine, and will surely take rank with the best.

Martin Reed was born in the year of our Lord 1835, and departed this life on the 27th day of August, 1905, at Smithton. Bro. Reed had been a minister of the gospel for ever 30 years, in the M. E. church, and at the time of his death was a superannuated member of the Central Mo. Annual Conference. Among the earlier days of the ministry, Bro. Reed was engaged in the work of the church. The church laid its hands on him after being satisfied of the fact that he had been called of God to go forth and herald the gospel message. He was ordained of the church and commissioned to go and preach the gospel. Bro Reed suffered much and long during his illness. Though very patient, he suffered on until his deliverer came. He wiped away his servant's tears and took his exit home. Bro Reed was faithful in all the duties which the church imposed upon him. He went forth to do service for God and humanity and murmured not. His loving wife remained with him and did all she could to alleviate his sufferings. He has gone to the home not made with hands, but to the home in heaven, whose builder and whose maker is God. He was known in Sedalia by both white and black. His work in the ministry having began here. He was loved and respected by all who knew him. His character was untarnished. He was a christian gentleman. He lived well and died well. Servant of God well done. --- Thygloriouswarefare's past. The battles fought, the victory's won. And thou art crowned at last. REV. W. H.

A Worthy Tribute to the Late Mrs. Orris Abbott. "Gone but not Forgotten." Almost thirteen years ago, one beautiful frigid Friday—we met for the first time—the late, jamed, Motherly madam, Mrs. Orris Abbott. Signally impressed by her motherly qualities, matronly manner, parental painstaking, with her rapidly growing family of energetic boys and girls, particularly my contact with her estimable son. Rev. B. F., led me to everhold her and her dear family, in highest esteem. She was a most faithful, uncomplaining, patient, persistent plodder, seemingly always hopeful and happy. A woman who honored Womanhood and Widowhood. A model widow indeed. DANDRUFF CURE AND HAIR TONIC. She has gone but her noble, exemplary life still lives—will live forever. "She kept the faith, fought a good fight and finished her course." "We shall meet but we shall miss her, There will be a vacant chair." Bereaved family, relatives and friends, let us possess a larger hope and trust, a greater faith in God, and by and by we will meet on the blissful heights of heaven our waiting loved ones with Him over there. Be vigilant. "Ne'er think the victory won nor The work of faith will not bedone Till thou obtain the crown. " H. L. BILLUPS, Wiley University. Marshall, Texas.

ODDFELLOWSHIP AND ITS HISTORICAL RECORE History tells us that Odd Fellowship was first established among Roman soldiers in the days of Nero, about 54 years after the birth of Christ. But history traces its origin to some period anterior to the Christian era. There were two bodies of men reported to have practiced it. One Eleusis, a small town of Attica, in Greece, and another which was incorporated at Teos, Asia Minor, by king of Pergamos. The members of the former were initiated in what was called the Dionysian Mysteries. They had signs and pass words so that they could distinguish those who had become members of their fraternity. History also teaches us that secret societies existed among the Israelites, B. C. 606, when captives in Babylon. They were deprived of carrying on their religious worship of their God, according to the law of Moses. They had degrees, pass words and signs so that they could tell each other by right as well as by day. History tells us again of the secret societies of the Eleusinian mysteries that were brought to Athens by Gumalpus, B. C. 1356. Odd Fellowship is from the following Desceantis and Origins, Egyptian school, 1900 years B. C. We trace it all along the line by tradition to Greece, from there to Rome 54 years A. D. Odd Fellowship got her model from the Eleusinian Mysteries. Egypt is the mother of all secret societies. The first account of the order being in other countries are in the fifth century, when it was established in the Spanish Dominions, and in the sixth century by King Henry in Portugal in the twelfth century. It was established in France and afterward by John De Neville in England, attended by five knights from France, who formed a loyal grand lodge of honor in London. We assert therefore for Odd Fellowship that its materials, life blood, heat and soul are as old as the solemn and binding obligations that united the beating hearts of the first pair in the garden of Eden. I. O. O. F. Odd Fellowship was introduced in America on December 23, 1806, in New York by W. E. and John Chambers, John R Thomas, Wm Dubois, and Geo P Morris. They met in the old Shakespeare house, Fair street, between Nassau and Broadway. N. Y. This society of men ceased to exist in 1822. Prince Regents lodge was instituted in New York in 1816. Washington Lodge No. 1, at Baltimore in 1819 by Thomas Wildley, Jno Cheathum, and John Welch. This trio met in the house of William Lupton in Baltimore on the 26th day of April 1819. G, U, O, of O, F. England granted to Peter Ogden a charter December 19, 1842, to open a lodge in America. The committee from Liverpool Lodge No. 448, from Liverpool, Eng., were Peter Ogden, Robt Spark, and J M Day. Its American founders were Peter Ogden, Jas Fields, Patrick H Reason, J C Crummell, Jas Needham. Joshua G Campbell, F A Hinton and Juo Bowers. Household of Ruth, of the G. U. O. of O. F. This branch of the order is the Ladies' Court or Lodge. This branch of the order was instituted September 2, 1857 by Joseph C Bustill of Harrisburg, Pa. Its charter members were: Gentlemen—Martin Peeg, Jno Gaitor, D M Robinson, J C Bustill and Jerry Hinson. Ladies—Mesdames John Price, John Gaitor, Wm Robinson, J C Bustill and Jerry Hinson. This degree was founded on the friendship that existed between Ruth and Naomi B C 1372. I will give you a short history of his notable order, it might be of interest to some of you to know something more about the order. Peter Ogden, a man of our race who was steward on a steamship plying between New York and Liverpool, England, he became acquainted with some of the members of Victory Lodge No.488 G. U. O. of O. F. Finding that they were willing to recognize a man as a man if his skin is black, he made up his mind to send in his petition to Victoria Lodge No. 488, Liverpool, and was received and initiated into the order. He was a quiet and unassuming man, of good repute and of great patience. In the same year a literary society known as the Philamathean, instituted in New York City, formed themselves into an association and petitioned the I. O. C. F. for a dispensation to open a separate lodge of the order, thinking that they would gladly gant them such a favor, but their color was against them and they were dedenied. Then the white Odd Fellows placed in their constitution the word "white," to show to the black man that they were to rule and the Negro was left forever out in the cold. This also shut the door to the great majority of mankind for a very small portion of the human race are white. York Hall, M. V. P. 5122 Grove Avenue. —Broag Ax.

Southern Notes It appears that within the last eighteen months the Negroes of the Yazoo Delta, District of Mississippi, (the blackest section of the black belt, where there are 32,000 whites to over. 200,000 Negroes) have organized three banks which are now doing business. Every dollar of the stock is owned by Negroes, and every officer—president, cashier, director—is a Negro. In January 1905, one of these banks in a small town, numbering about 500 souls, had on deposit $125,000 in round numbers, of which amount $83,000 had been deposited by Negroes. At a recent meeting of stockholders of another Negro bank in the Yazoo Delta, a dividend of 17 percent was declared on the profits of last year's business.—Freeman. A southern correspondent of the American Wool and Cotton Reporter insists that the question of employing colored operatives in textile mills in the south is by no means a closed one. Two new textile enterprises have lately been organized and chartered in North Carolina for the purpose of building plants intended to be operated by Negro labor. There are already two using this kind of labor, both are said to be successful. A hosiery mill is to be built at Elizabeth City, N.C., in which Negro men and girls are to be employed, with white men as overseers at the beginning, unless already trained and experienced Negro overseers can be obtained. The other new mill, which is to be built at Wadesboro, is to be erected by a New Jersey firm of silk manufacturers, which has a silk mill, operated by Negroes at Fayetteville, N.C., under a Negro superintendent, trained in their New Jersey mills.—Ex.
