Republican Delegates were these Republican Delegates chosen City, met in the Republican City Third (3rd) and Eight (8th) dublican Ticket, for which every person should vote for the reason stands for the best interests of such character as to guarantee forms in City Government. What is the object of such can Ticket? It surely means not to the City. When you go to vote call Hutchinson for Mayor, William Meuschke for councilman of the on designing Politicians are trying to deceive with the Cry that we have no Republican Trial Election. Such is not the case, and the C Republican City Central Committee through Kenzie, and Secretary W. A.

In the Republican Voters came together in large settings; and the Democrats were not present, to be in them.

Is the object of such a false Cry, that we have not? It surely means no good to the colored vcity. Do you go to vote call for the Republican Trial for Mayor, William Boult for Marshal, for councilman of the First Ward. Certain designing Politicians are trying to deceive the Colored Voters, with the Cry that we have no Republican Ticket for the coming City Election. Such is not the case, and the Cry is false. The Republican City Central Committee through its Chairman A. W. McKenzie, and Secretary W. A. Fast, according to Law and custom, called the Republican Voters to meet in the different Wards of the City on Friday Evening the 2nd day of March, to choose delegates to the regular Republican City Convention. In response to this call, the Republican Voters came together in large numbers at these meetings; and the Democrats wore not present, and not allowed to vote in them. Republican Delegates were chosen at these ward meetings, and these Republican Delegates chosen by the Republican Voters of the City, met in the Republican Convention at the Courthouse on the Third (3rd) and Eight (8th) days of March, and nominated a Republican Ticket, for which every Republican in the City, White or Colored should vote for the reasons that are named by his party; it stands for the best interests of Sedalia; the men composing it are of such character as to guarantee the future welfare and needed reforms in City Government. What is the object of such a false Cry, that we have no Republican Ticket? It surely means no good to the colored voters and none to the City. When you go to vote call for the Republican Ticket, with Bell Hutchinson for Mayor, William Boult for Marshall, and Henry Meuschke for councillor of the First Ward. Central Missouri Conference.

Every member had himself department was most highly refined and conventionals provided comfortable entertainment and members of the conference. Reverend J. local committees has the abundant thanks of a central Church officers, ministers, visitors and for the extensive and commodious accommodation. To observers, the Central Missouri Conference presented some very pleasing features. Every member had himself well grocmed and his deportment was most highly refined and convincing. Lexingtonians provided comfortable entertainment for all of the visitors and members of the conference. Reverend James B Epps and the local committees has the abundant thanks of all, bishop, visiting General Church officers, ministers, visitors and old acquaintances, for the extensive and commodious accommodations afforded throughout the session. Every home, where the visitors were lodged took special delight in endeavoring to make their guest's stay as nearly homelike as possible. Lexington hospitality and generosity can not be surpassed by any people. Throughout the session, able and helpful addresses were given in a plain, common sensed and practicable manner. Our Negro representatives displayed a broadness of thought and a depth of comprehension that, easily, placed them abreast of greatest and most thorough thinkers and publicists of this restless and almost irresistible age. Doctors Mason, Penn, Jones and Thomas not only represented the Negro in the great Methodist Episcopal Church but they also stand as samples of the highest type of manhood, irrespective of race, creed or color, in America. The conference, itself, supplied several addresses that will be remembered for years to come. Notably among them was the address by Dr. R E Gillum, of the Union Memorial Church, Saint Louis, to the Woman's Home Missionary Society, on the afternoon of the 15th. He urged them to exercise a living Christian life—a life of usefulness and service. A pertinent proposition was sensibly handled by him, namely: "Is the Influence of the Church Sufficiently Strong to Overcome the Evils That now Menace Our Large Cities?" We think it is, if we, as he suggested, put more of the Christ into our hearts to displace foolish worldliness and selfish sectarianism. Mrs. Anna Adams Henley's address on the same occasion was a resume of woman's work and worth in the Church. She earnestly besought her co-laborers to so economize their time that they may be able to read and inform themselves on matters of vital interest to The rage and church. Her advice is timely, and it should be heeded. Bishop Luther B. Wilson in his lectures and by his rulings gave evidence of an impartial but conscientious executive. In his first visit he has endeared himself to the brethren of this conference. Reverends B. F. Abbott and A. H. Hfggs, our new presiding elders, are, comparatively speaking, young men. Both are on the morning side of forty. They are intelligent, industrious, enterprising, unselfish, uncompromising and God-learing Methodists and we bespeak for the Saint Louis and Saint Joseph districts a new life in finance, spirituality and aggressive evangelism. Per Year (in advance) ..... $1.00 Six months (in advance) ..... .60 Single Copy. ..... 05 --- We stand, uncompromisingly for the Republican ticket, which you will see at the head of the Editorial Columns, because we honestly believe that the interests of this city can be best served by the continuance of affairs under present conditions. Business management has brought about these favorable conditions, of the past four years. Sentiment and hot headed politics will not bring balances on the right ride of the city's ledger. Experience has taught us that. It seems to us that the Negro voters of this city have been hood winked sufficiently long by "wine" politicians, to now act by carefully considering propositions set before them. Let us use sense once. Much is being whispered around the corners of the streets and behind closely closed doors, about the glories that are yet to appear at the launching of the Independent conglomeration. We may assume to caution our colored brethren not to build too strongly on those whispered declarations, we hear so much about, because, if the Independents mean to do what they whisper, why advise secrecy and a hooling of the lips? Trickery won't work. Declare yourselves, It is a fact that no candidate on the Republican Municipal ticket is interested, directly or indirectly, as stockholder, bondholder or in any other financial way concerned, in any of the public utilities—street car, electric light, gas or water corporations doing business in this city. And these candidates are under no obligation to any of the affenamed corporations for anything whatsoever. All such allegations are maliciously false and are utterly groundless. Colored citizens, as well as the white, must be careful of the amount of confidence they place in any man or set of men, white or black, who approaches them in a whisper. Such individuals invariably have something appalling to relate but will caution you thus:—"Dont say that I told you a thing. Something is 'doing.'" Be men; vote your honest sentiments; don't permit some sharp politician to "use" you; look, think and act for the common good. GET OFF OF THE FENCE. If you favor the Republican Municipal ticket, declare yourself. For what are you waiting? On the other hand, if you are favorable to the Independent ticket, let it be known. You have a right to be for whatever you may select. If you hesitate longer, many will think that you are either waiting to be slated for the Market Honse janitorship, police, dog catcher or perchance, the tinkle of the anticipated "barrel." The proposition is simply this: Do you wish the administrative affairs of this city managed by conservative business men? If you do, vote the Republican ticket, headed by Bell Hutchinson for mayor. We are fixed in our conclusion and set in our purpose. AN ELOQUENT TRIBUTE TO A RETIRING PASTOR. Brief Resume of the Results of the Labor of Rev. H. T. Reeves at Hughe's Chapel, New Franklin, Mo. --- Rev H T Reeves, pastor of the M E church of this city, has just closed the most successful year of church work that our church has experienced for years. He came to us physically weak, yet with a determination to work for the cause of Christ; and we are glad to state that success has attended his efforts. His work with us has been a great benefit spiritually, socially and financially. Spiritually the church has made great progress: on the circuit 17 souls have proclimed their love of Christ and are now making church loving, stalwart Christians. The financial report far exceeds that of past years, the church property has been improved and the social condition is better than it has been for years. Our services are largely attended, and there seems to be a growing interest manifested by those who frequent our meetings. Rev Reeves has been the source of many distinguished persons visiting us, and their instructive entertainments have been a source of inspiration to our young people as well as an intellectual treat to everyone. Prof A C Maclin, of George R Smith College, gave us one of his eloquent lectures, which will forever remain a monument of eloquence in the galaxy of modern orators. Prof W H Huston, of the Conservator, gave us two of his famous lectures to the satisfaction of all who heard him, which reflected great credit upon him self and his profession. The famous Jackson sisters have distinguished themselves before us as having given one of the most classical musicales ever witnessed in this city. The wonderful boy, preacher, James Washington, the Biblical prodigy of twentieth century, has twice appeared before us. As a whole, we have enjoyed the stay of our present pastor so well that if it was left to us to say who should be our pastor for the ensuing year, we would suspend all rules, and vote by acclamation for his return. And should he be sent to some other charge, our prayers and well wishes for his future success go with him. A.C. Lewis. MARSHALL. The churches are getting ready for Easter. Mrs Sarah Lewis is visiting in Kansas City. Henry Watson went to Napton last Tuesday. Rev A H Higgs, former pastor, is now a presiding elder. Rev Reevee, of Glasgow, is pastor of the M E church for the ensuing year. Mesdames Woods, Chest and Jones, of Slater, were in town last Saturday. Snow! Snow! Snow! What will march give us next? No more snow we hope. Examination of the Colored school, near Slater, took place March 10 and 16, 1906. The following is the average standing of those worthy of being promoted this term in the following grades: FIRST GRADE. Jim Willie Carter.....85 Mary F ).....83 Myrtle Ellis.....79 Oleatha Harris.....80 John L Harris.....75 THIRD GRADE. Zella Davis.....85 S B Harris.....75 Sallie W Brooks.....81 FOURTH GRADE. Viola E Carter.....87 Mayme Carter.....79 George S Davis.....80 FIFTH GRADE. Jennie E Gorham.....81 Revia M Gorham.....80 SIXTH GRADE. Rufus A Gorham.....90 Roy S. Davis On the scale of 100, 70 is passable; 80 is good; 90 is extra and 100 is perfect. The pupils have all been very lucrative in their school work, and have shown to me the greatest of courtesy. Respectfully; Miss G. R. HAWKINS, Teacher. FARMINGTON. Little Zelia. Franks has been quite ill this week. --- Miss Amy Wilberm is visiting relatives this week. The choir has postponed their egg social until March 23. Thomas Cayce visited home-folks this week. The work on the road as porter seems to agree with him. Prof J C Staten was unable last Friday to be on duty. We are glad to see him abe to be in the schoolroom this week. Anyone desiring a single copy of the Conservator, can obtain it from Master Clarence Henson. Leave your order with him. Friday marks the end of seven months' school. The attendance has been low for more than a week on account of inclement weather. Pupils desiring to retain their class standing must attend regularly. Prof W A Gnnnell was a visitor in our city last Saturday. He assisted in the work of Burleigh lodge that evening. He also accepted an invitation to attend the anniversary, Sunday, March 25. He will favor us with an address. Conference has adjourned and we are informed that Rev Wool rich will leave for the ensuing year. We welcome our new pastor and family and also pray for the success of the church this year.

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, 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 furnish books. It is hoped that there will be a charitable organization in every school district to furnish clothing when necessary. 4. It is the duty of the Attendance officer, or district clerk in a district not having attendance officer, to prosecute parents 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.

Rev T H Lockwood, recently assigned to Armstrong, spent several days in our city the past week. Rev A H Henley and wife paid a visit to parents and friends while en route home from Conference. Vote the Republican ticket if you mean to be counted with busi- ness men and progressive move- ments. It seems to us that some pho- ple ought to become tired of straddling the fence. It's a tir- some job in cold weather. Our old friend, Prof A. C. Maciin, attended Conference in Lex- ington. Since his return, he is slightly inclined to preach. Mrs John Ramsey's remains were shipped to California for interment on the 23rd. The deceased died on the 22nd, after a severe illness.

Owing to the severity of the weather, no services were held there in the afternoon. Enos L Scruggs, President of the Western Baptist College, located at Macon, Mo, will lecture before the Student's Lecture Bureau, at George R Smith College, on the evening of the 30th. All should be prepared to hear him. Quinn Chapel's quarterly meeting service on the 18th was a great one. Over 100 communed in the afternoon. Rev Alexander states that this was the banner financial quarter during his 4 years stay here. Rev Rivers, the evangelist, assists in the services. Our new presiding elder H F Abbott, departed for Springfield Thursday morning, after placing an order for printing the Centra Missouri Conference Minutes, through the Conservator, to the Fisher Printing Co. He will remove his family here, where he owns a nice piece of property. F C Royston and wife of Clinton were here from Monday until Thursday morning. They came to attend the Cautata, "Ruth the Moabitess," at the College on the 20th and to see their big son, who is attending school here. We fortunately saw them on the train as they were departing for their home. Now you must bear in mind this fact, that President Enos L. Scruggs of the Western Baptist College, of Macon, Mo., will lecture here on the 30th at the College. Remember this also, 25 cts will put you in alone. Yourself and lady in a reserved seat, means the very insignificant sum of 70 cents. Don't throng the ticket sellers, please. "Ruth, the Moabitess," was presented to a large audience of Conference visitors and Sedalians at the College on the 20th.
