A beautiful brick church of the Methodist Episcopal connection on 6th st. si where most of our people worship. Here Rev. R. H.

This is the county seat of Bates County with about 300 colored people, three preachers, Reu. W. H. H. Brown, the old war horse and this is true in every sense of word, is pastor of the Methodist Episcopal church at this place. Any town ought to be proud to have this man with his varied experience from that of a militant soldier, fighting for his country and to that of an embassador of the Prince of Peace. It is well written going miles to listen to his hero of war and peace. The public school of Butler is presided over by W. W. Kenoly and A. N. Wright both active members of the M. E. church, Prof. Kenoly is organist and Mr. Wright is Salbath school superintendent, both are always active. Harry Ford and his sister Clara, student of George R.

Speak approving, cheering words while their ears can hear them, and while their hearts can be thrilled and made happier by them; the kind things you mean to say when they're gone, say before they go. The flowers you mean to send for their coffins, send to brighten and sweeten their homes before they leave them. If my friends have alabaster boxes laid away, full of fragrant perfumes of sympathy and affection, which they intended to break over my dead body, I would rather they would bring them out in my weary and troubled hours, and open them, that I may be refreshed and cheered by them while I need them. I would rather have a plain coffin without flowers, a funeral without an culegy, than a life without sweetness of love and sympathy. Let us learn to anoint our friends beforehand for their burial. Post-mortem kindness does not cheer the troubled spirit. Flowers on the coffin cast no fragrance backward over life's weary way. ```markdown ``` ```markdown ``` Let Politics be held in Abeyance at the St. Louis Meeting July 10 @ 11 In traveling over over the state we hear much talk of the proposed meeting of representative Negroes to be held in St. Louis on July 10 and 11. It is feared by some that such a convocation may be turned into a political meeting that will endorse certain parties and certain men for certain positions and for certain hensors. While we have no such fears, yet it will be expedient for the leaders to understand beforehand that such a narrow scope will not be tolerated. Conditions confronting the Negroes of Missouri are too all-important to be viewed in a mere partisan or narrow manner. Our needs require friends who are tried and true. Common sense must by this time, have taught us to know that all our friends are not members of any one party within or without our state. Therefore, to fool with partisan issues in such a great convocation as that called by Bishop Grant to meet in St. Louis on July 10 and 11 will be imprudent and not in keeping with the spirit of the Jefferson City meeting. Moreover if it should drift into a political meeting, its personnel would be made up principally of politicians, who would be seeking jobs, pulls or other personal favors. Every grave proposition to be considered should be pondered over by unselfish and race loving men. This class of Negroes will not attend, if they know that eely tongued politicians are to be in charge. Coolness and poise must prevail, if we would secure what we desire. To have this in evidence our conservative men must be present and their suggestions followed. During the next 18 months an opportunity will be given the Negroes of this state to show their judgment. If he acts wisely, he may add himself inmeasurably. But if he should allow common sense to be overcome by prejudice and the harangues of politicians, we fear that his sphere of influence will be greatly reduced. Is it too much to say that the Negro at home should be governed by the environments that affect him? No Negro knows better what to do for the St. Louis Negro than he himself. On the other hand the rural Negro, if he will only study his local conditions, will know what is best for his needs. The day of Negroes leaving home to tell others what they must do is over, since those living in touch with conditions know them best. 2 --- LLOYD'S ALRIGHT. The Rising Sun, of Kansas City, in an issue of recent date had the following to say of Grand Chancellor A. W. Lloyd, of St. Louis: "Hon. A. W. Lloyd, Grand Chancellor of the Knights of Pythias of Missouri, jurisdiction of North and South America, Europe, Ania, Africa and Australia, has his residence in St. Louis, but is so well and favorably known over the state, that his home seems to be any place where he rests his grip and hangs up his hat. All welcome him and seem glad to have him with them. Chancellor Lloyd is the right man in the right place. He is doing the for the Knights of Pythias in this grant state of Missouri what no other man has been able to do for any other secret organization in the west among Negroes." "He is unliring in his efforts and leaves such a clear clean second behind him, that he is not forced to lose any of his time locking back." "History is replete with examples of men like Chancellor Lloyd, whom Providence has called and nature fitted to fill important places at some crisis in the history of their race. No man familiar with the history and progress of the Knights of Pythias of Missouri, during the past 6 years cau truthfully deny that Lloyd has been the "Moses" of his people in traternal work." It must be admitted, however, that Lloyd's phenomenal success has been greatl augmented by the active support he has had from loyal friends, among whom the Conservator is a 'stand-patter.' Industrial Education Endorsed. Modern educators are becoming more practical in Jeir methods of instructing children. Abstract ineas are being displaced by a system of practical utility. In the application and association of concere things in our educational activities, a more feasible and useful system has been established. As a consequence we find school authorities everywhere incorporating industrial training as a prominent id their curriculum of study. If plans mature we shall soon see such an addition made to Lincoln High School of this dity. George R. Smith College is making herculean efforts to establish such a plant. Every progressive citizen should do all possible towards the furtherance of such enterprises, because the masses of any people are best adapted to the industrial trades. Our race is no exception. Criticisms of the Dr. Booker T. Washington idea and the thunderous harangues of the Mighty Ones can not remove the importance that Industrial Education carries with it. Sedalia is an excellent looality where a great trades' school for the Negroes of the West should be established and maintained. It is possible, if all of the Negroes who are interested, will join hands with their white friends who are deeply concerned about such an enterprise. Stand by a trades' school movement.

Bewford of 3937 A Fairlax avenue, an influential young married lady, who has attained much notoriety as a local vocalist of rare intelligence and ability, has had many offers to go on the stage, but owning to the fact that she is a Christian, and loves her church and many friends she has not as yet accepted any of them, as she feels that her talents can be of greater service to her in building up her church and the cause of Christ. She has sung in many of the leading churches throughout the city, at entertainments and chncrch choirs etc., and has given entire satisfaction. She entertained the Wyman Mission Circle at the True Reformers' hall on the evening of June 19th, and her voice was graceful and charming, and filled every heart with raptured joy; so much so that she was called the gifted song bird of the west. She entertained the Trio club at Union Memorial M. E. church on June 10, and her voice was full full of melody and harmony, which carried the house with an encore. She is always ready to and willing to give a helping hand at church festivals and entertainments, and in fact is quite notable among her many friends in church and at social functions.

Wide Awake At Springfield Wide Awake At Springfield Editor of Sedalia Conservator- Dear Brother Huston:-- I beg to say to your many readers that Springfield is not "asleep" Rev. Dr. Dorsey is pusing his new church enterprise with determination and marked success. He deserves great credit for what he is doing for the baptist and the race at this place. Rev. C. A. Williams, pastor of Benton A. M. E. church also deserves credit for the work that he has recently accomplished in the way of church improvements. His church has been repairing and beautified with modern windows bearing the names of various secret organizations and a new pipe organ has been installed. The C. P. church, under the leader ship of the late Dr. J. E. Simpson of Henderson Ky., is also taking on new life and striving to attain the higher grounds. The church, as well as the colord citizens of Springfield should congratulate themselves on having Dr. Simpon with them. Pitts Chapel Methodist Episcopal under the leadership of the Rev. Mr. W. H. Wheeler, is rallying to build a new church, which is much needed. The Green County Colored Teachers' Institute comprising 14 counties of southwest Mo., closed a most successful and telling 12 days session here last Saturday. MASONS AND PYTHIANS The three Masonic lodges held joint installation Monday night and the same evening the Knights of Pythias and Court of Calanthe were also jointly installed by the writer. ON To FAYETTE It is now a few weeks only until our big meeting at Fayette, when the Grand Lodge and Grand Court officers will be called upon to render an account of their stewardship, and the grand representatives and members to revise and enact new laws and regulation for the government and benefit of the great Pythian family of the grand domains of Missouri. The order has had phenominal growth under the able and determined leadership of that sterling little leader and organizer, A. W. Lloyd. During the past 7 years, the membership has quadrupled itself and the personal of Grand Lodge of today cannot be surpassed by any other Negro organization in the United Stated. This condition of affairs has been accomplished through the untiring effort of our esteemed Grand Chancellor, possesses the rare tact and personal magnetism of drawing men to him and the ability to hold them, while we do not claim from him high scholarship and college training, yet we do claim that he has proven himself to be an organizer, an executive chief, a race man, a mixer, a smooth politician and a true pythian the very man that the Grand Lodge of Missouri needs. Then why not continue him in office as the pythian leader? All who favor the motion say, I. Those who oppose say, No. Gentleman the ayes seem to have it and A, W. Lloyd will succeed himself as Grand Chancellor for the next year. CAP'T B. F. ADAMS TIPTON Herman Hicox and his sister. Aggie James of California spent Sunday here.

He is planning a church building more modern in style and more suitable for a modern dayworship than the present building, and in addition to this repairing and moving the parsonage. This marathonist we speak of him as being a better preacher than he formerly was, this is as he should be. There would have been more independent colored people if they had done as Mrand Mrs. Thomas Chatman, who purchased and paid for more than 100 acres of Johnson's County farming land about $2\frac{1}{2}$ miles from Holden. No man since can visit Mr. Chatman's farm without seeing that he has done one thing needful for more of the Negroes to do and that is to buy a farm, pay for it, stick to it and cultivate it. A. C.

GREAT MASS MEETING CALLED. CALL FOR A SOLEMN CONCLAVE To the Citizens of the State of Missouri On February 13th, 1907, fifty delegates, representing ten counties and larger cities in the State, assembled in the State House in Jefferson City to enter their protest against the separate car law, which had already passed the State Senate, and to appeal to the reason, liberality and good judgement of the railroad committee and other members of the House of Representatives who were present, to keep the proposed bill from becoming a law. We are thankful to say that the better judgement of that body prevailed and we have been spared the humiliation to which our people are subjected in many States. The success which attended our efforts upon this occasion indicates clearly that with organization throughout the State and discreet management we can do much towards creating a healthy public opinion in regards to all matters bearing upon the interests of our race. The Negro is under criticism; he needs defense; his civil and political rights are in jeopardy he needs protection. For these reasons the delegation adopted a resolution while assembled in the A.M.E. Church, Jefferson City, Mo., February 13th. 1907, instructing the president and secretary of that gathering to invite a solemn convoction of the people of Missouri through their representatives, for the purpose of considering the advisability of a permanent organization. The meeting is hereby called to convene in St. Louis, Mo. op- opening in Central Baptist Church July 10th, at 9 a.m. and closing in St. Paul A. M. E. Church, July 11th. All religious denominations educational institutions, charitable associations, secret societies, and any other organizations in the State not included in this number are requested to send at least one delegate from each city, community and precinct to be present at said convention at the time herein designated.
