THE INTER-STATE LITERARY ASSOCIATION One of the most representative Negro gatherings held during the holidays was called to order by the Hon. James H. Guy in the Second Baptist church, Kansas City, Mo., December 26. A large number of delegates from literary societies from Missouri, Kansas, and other states answered to roll call. Throughout the three days session enthusiastic interest was manifest. Several numbers on the program merited special commendation. Among the many we are pleased to mention the following: President Guy's address; "Inspiration from Nature for Good," by Miss Bessie Hawkins, of Topeka, Kansas; Charles D. Clem's original poems; Mrs. Guy's paper "A New Reformation; the young men's orations in the oratorical contest. All were fraught with thought, but the delivery, logic and thought contained in Andrew L. Jackson's oration far excelled all of his competitors. Miss M. Minniolia Jackson's original musical composition, "The Dying Pope," justly merited the first award, according to the expressed opinions of the musical critics, who witnessed the contest. The judges, however, awarded the prize to Miss Matie Miller, of Lawrence, because she had her manuscript. The Misses Hawkins and Martin, also C. H. Warrick, one of Sedalia's boys, presented poetic gems to the judges in the original contest in poetry, Miss Bessie Turner's paper on "The Influence of Woman," was a vast array of facts that were so irrefutable that many of the men did "quake and tremble." Two of the most profound subjects handled was "Railroad Rate Legislation" by Prof N. Sawyer and "Tuberculosis" by Dr. J. Edgar Dibble. The music numbers filled by the students of Western University were all taken from the "classics." As we see it, the Inter-State Literary Association may become a great factor as a contributing force toward our racial advancement in the West, if its policies and activities are fostered, as it has been heretofore by broad minded men. It is to be hoped that hereafter awards will be made upon the basis of MERIT, no matter who possesses it. President-elect Isaiah M. Horton, of Kansas City, Mo., is inducted into office with a brilliant record—more societies have reported; more money was raised; greater numbers have attended the past session than ever before! This should anticipate for next season a good method for reaching meeting. From a glance at the first quarterly report of the Beneficiary Department of the Missouri Grand Lodge, Knights of Pythias, we glean some valuable data, viz: Collection for the quarter $2807.14. Total disbursements for the quarter $1003.57. Excess of receipts over expenses $1003.57. At the beginning of the first quarter there was a cash balance of..... $7621.09 The second quarter will have..... 8624.66 Excess of second quarter over first..... $1003.57 No other organization among the Negroes in the state will be able to equal this reliable showing financially. During the quarter two new lodges were organized, one at Yates and another at Salisbury. Grand Chancellor, A. W. Lloyd, and his efficient corps of officers will point with pride to this very favorable showing. May we not urge our readers to look into the work of the organization? Especially do we call the attention of Negroes to its financial condition as will be seen in the summary given in this article, and also in the Missouri statistics of the Supreme Chancellor's TIME FOR THE COLORED FAIR ASROCIATION TO BEGIN WORK. We have been patiently awaiting for news from the LaFayette County Colored Fair Association. But, as yet, we have not had any definite information as to what is to be done next season. It is our opinion that we should get our heads together, during the month of January, and, begin to formulate plans for a greater and better meeting for 1906 than we have ever had before. With such men as William Graham, Clayton Williams, James Henderson, the Perry brothers, Joseph Johnson, George Edwards, Frank Jenes and others of Higginsville, Moses Green, William Hagwood, William Workcuff, William Shafer, Luther Burles, Leslie Miller, Jrmes Wilson, Joe Myers, A. B. Johnson and others of Lexington and George Seward, of Mayview, a large and prosperous associa From Now Until January 1st, 1907, You May Read The] SEDALIA WEEKLY CONSERVATOR For The Small Sum Of ONE DOLLAR. A Good Thing. Will You Take It? tion may be maintained, if they will get together early and outlue the scope of work for the season. "Act Early," should be our motto. Last season's meeting was an exceedingly successful and well patronized affair, in spite of storms and other discouraging features. Indications are auspicious for a great meeting next season, because of the many favorable conditions that are perceptably evident. A few of these conditions, we take pleasure in mentioning, namely:—It is well known throughout the West that the Negroes of Central Missouri hold an Annual Fair Meeting at Higginsville. A large number are talking about what has already been accomplished—a condition worthy of note; individuals, who have aided in the maintenance of the Association, have acquired a practical and business knowledge of how to better organize and conduct the Fair on a larger and more comprehensive basis—a condition that should directly appeal to every enterprising Negro in Missouri; many Negroes, here to-fore silent on this proposition, are now anxiously willing to lend; not only their moral, but their financial support, if the matter is presented to them properly, and on time—a condition that should stimulate the leading spirits to get together early and give to the public the information desired. May we not urge upon each member of the LaFayette County Colored Fair Association to think over what has already been accomplished by his assistance. And, having thought over their past accomplishments, may we admonish them to look to the future that they see the greater achievements, for our racial advancement, that are in store for them, if they will exercise timely effort.

CORNER LAMINE AND MORGAN. (Smith's Lot.) Rev. Griffin G. Logan, D. D., Field Agent of the Missionary Society, Methodist Episcopal church recently made arrangements with Dr. J Will Jackson, presiding elder, to hold several meetings on the Saint Joseph District in the month of December. He offered his services, and arrangements were made as to dates and places Several churches went to the expense of advertising their meetings and preparations were made for the entertainment and recertion of the distinguished divine, but the Doctor failed to put in his appearance as per agreement, and worse still has failed to write to the Presiding Elder, or any one else, in explanation of the cause of his failure. Dr. Jackson has this to say to him in the following letter, which has been sent to him MINNIOLIA COTTAGE, Sedalia. Mo., Jan. 2, '06. REV. G. G. LOGAN, D. D. Ho'ly Springs, Miss.

You have not only failed to keep your engagements with the brethern of the St Joseph District, but it appears that you have regarded these engagements as being of so little importance, the disappointment to the people of so trivial a matter, and your own voluntary promise as creating so slight a moral obligation upon you to fulfill it, that you have ignored the duty to even And say their husbands to give them My secret you dearest you've seen And you quiz me but—reme When other wives and tell my My gowns are we and at my I have no fear, I care not he I know I've but the 'Dearreme My love has often dear, I know But married life A LETTER. ets, Albums, Japanese ware, bills, Fine boxes of paper, gift books, array at the lowest places at BOOK STORE, Dexter's Old Stand. you will be sure to buy.

A few of them have been answered by the state superintendent as follows: 1. The home instruction given in lieu of the school must be regular and during the usual school hours every day equivalent to the instruction given in school. 2. The court, not the teacher's school clerk or truant officer, may excuse. The court need not excuse children on account of their living two and one-half miles from the school. Able-hodied healthy children go further than that without considering it a hardship. 3. A child may be excused by a court if it can not procure proper clothing, but not on account of inability to buy books. The school board must formulate rules in respect that there will be unavoidable compensation in case 4. It is the duty of the attendance officer, or district clerk in a district that harms the peace officer, to prosecute persons who fail to comply with the law after due notice has been given. 5. A parent who thinks he has good and sufficient excuse for not sending his child to school should not wait to be notified. He should secure written excuse from the court and have it ready to present when notified. The law does not contemplate that court wait for prosecution. Secure excuse and stop prosecution. 6. The attendance law is not in conflict with section 9794 which gives school boards authority to suspend or expel pupils from school. When the conduct of a child is such as to demoralize the school he should be sent to the state reformatory. No child should be turned out of school for slight infraction of the rules.
