New Year's has brought its all) ee befereus, Nowis the time tor wise and sober resolus| tions, All of us have turned over a new leaf, figuratively speaking. It has been turned over all right, but how long will we let it remain turned over? So many of us, after we have turned over new leaves often, delight to turn back to the old ones because we love them best. You had best be a little cautious lest you get your leaves tan- gled. Don’t be so loud in your talk about the new leaf, the new life, the new aspirations and the new ideale. ‘Talk less of them and show us by your activity what you mean. People today judge each other not by their talk, but by the standard of what they are doing. Itis always in order to change for the better. When you change we will all know it. Tue Inree-State Literary Association. One of the most representative Negro gatherings held during the holidays was called to order by the Hon. James H. Guy inthe 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; “In- spiration from Nature for Good,’ by Miss Bessie Hawkins, of To- peka, 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 com- position, ‘The Dying Pope,” justly merited the first award, accord- ing to the expressed opinions of the musical critics, who witnessed the contest. The judges, however, awarded the prize to Miss Mat tie Miller, of Uawreuce, 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 poctry, Miss Bessie furner’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 pro found subjects handled wa» ‘‘Railrcad Rate Legislation” by Prof N. Sawyer and ‘Tuberculosis” by Dr. 3. Edgar Dibble. The music numbers fillet by the students of Western University were all taken from the ‘‘classics.” 1 As we see.it, the Inter-State Lite}aty Association may become a great factor as ¢ 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 madé upon the ,Yasis of meer, no matter who pos- sesses it.

Grand Chancellor, A. W. Lloyd, end 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 arti- cle, and also in the Missouri statistics of the Supreme Chaneellor’s Time For THe CoLorep Farr ASROCIATION ‘to Beciy 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 tobe 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 meet ing 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 Hag- wood, William Workcuff.

A few of these conditions, we take pleasure in mentioning, namely:— It is well known throughoutthe 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 mainte- nance of the Association, have acquired a practical and business knowledge o! how to betier organize and conduct the Fair on a lar. get 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 pre sented to them préperly, and on time—a condition that should stimulate the leading spirits to get together carly 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 accom plished by his assistance. And, having thought over their past ac: complishments, 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. ee ee ee ee ee ee ~—KOAL & WOOD~ Any Quantity, at Any Time, Delivered to Any:Part of the City at Bottom Prices, W.
