The Forum

THE FORUM Vol. 6, NO. 52. SPRINGFIELD, ULL., SATURDAY MARCH 5. 1910. 15C A MONTH U. B. F. and S. M. T. The U. B., and S M. T., lodge is growing fast and becoming a very prosperous order. The lodge has a good sized membership in the state and pays all death claims on demand. The dues and annual fees are nominal. The cost to join is small. The endowment department is well governed. The death claims have been increased from $50 to $100 with a minimum charge per annum for premiums. It is a good order for you and your family. Negroes May soon Have Bank. The next business move of greaterat importance by the colored people of this city is the organization and establishment of a banking institution. There has been talk of such a thing for some time, but it now seems that before the expiration of another fourteen months the proposed bank will be in operation. About two years ago there was organized the Enterprise Loan & Savings Co. This business has constantly grown and it is to merge with the bank. The site for which the new institution is to be located has already been purchased by Attorney A. M. Williams, one of the promoters of the bank and the secretary of the Loan Association. This is the timeliest thing ever before attempted by our people. There is a sufficient amount of business to operate a bank and the colored people will do well to lend assistance. Let the good work go on. Society a Mr. H Sallie is much improv ed. Mrs. Fisher of E. Mason St. is convalesing. Col. John R. Marshall of Chicago, was in the city this week. The Easter rally at St John church is to be the biggest and the best in the history of the church. Rev. E. T. Cottman left Saturday for Detroit. Mich, to attend a meeting of the presiding elders council. Mrs. Gray of 2112 E. Stuart street, was operated on Wednes day morning at St John Hospital by Dr. N. B. Ford. She is doing nicely. The Ladies' Club of St Paul is putting forth strenuous efforts in the $1,000 rally in June. The men are apparently working with much confidence that they will be the winners. Time will tell the story, and victory will be to him who is faithful to the end. "Be ye doers and not sayers only." Mattoon News Notes Mrs. Sarah Victoria Powell, wife of John Powell, departed this life Saturday, February 26, at her home, 1805 Richmond Ave. Mrs. Powell was born near Huntsville, Tennessee, January 22, 1859. In 1871 she, with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Isaac Barr came to this city. She united with the A. M. E church at the age of thirteen years and has since led a consistent, beautiful christian life. At the time of her death she was president of the Stewardess Board. For a number of years she was a faithful superintendent of the Sunday school 1. On May 9, 1879, Mr. John Powell and Miss Victoria Barr were united in marriage. To this union six children were born there surviving only one. Miss Zella who is a student at the Eastern Illinois Normal at Charleston. The funeral was held Tuesday afternoon at the A.M.E church. Rev. Cooper delivered a very excellent discourse telling of Mrs. Powell as he knew her. Mrs. Cooper sang a beautiful solo and Mr. Lance Williams presided at the organ. Mrs. Powell is survived by her husband, a daughter, mother-in-law, one brother, Rev. Felix Barr of Portland, Oregon, a number of nieces and nephews. Those who attended the funeral from a distance were: Mrs. Ida Murray of Jackson, Tenn., Mrs. L B Anderson of Chicago, Mesdames Ota Smith and Maidia Manning of Peoria, Rev. Archie Ward, Miss Olly Ward and Mrs. Anna Hutchinson of Decatur. Mrs. W Hartwood is on the sick list. nd Local Let us have peace and harmony in all our lodges and build up good strong memberships—not merely have annual sermons and marches. The rally at St. John church the last of March. will be for all. A record will be kept of all money paid and by whom Give as you should. The members who do things are preparing to give from $5 up. There is considerable talk of pushing H. B Hughes for alderman of the sixth ward. Mr. Hughes is a good citizen and a long resident of the ward, having resided at 18 h and Clay streets, for some time. The Forum endorses him. Don't forget the lecture "Black Ideals," by Rev. N. W. Williams Thursday evening, March 10 All come. Admission 15c. By mistake in another notice elsewhere in these columns under the caption of "Rev. Williams will Lecture," the admission is stated as being 25c. instead of 15c. Remember this. Mr. and Mrs. Wesley McCann, Messrs. Houston and William Coleman of Shelbyville, and Mrs. Oscar Portee, and Messrs. Williams and Hawkins of Charleston attended the funeral of Mrs. John Powell.

Barksdale spoke on the life of Peter Ogden and the Order, the great good it had done. Mrs. Susan Davis in behalf of the Household of Ruth, read a very good memorial address in honor of Peter Ogden. Mr. August Johnson next spoke on the organization as a medium of lifting humanity. Next the master of curemonies introduced Liert Col.

He told how Peter Ogden came over from England with works of the order, how the Order had prospered, etc. His was a timely talk and very much appreciated.

The chairman, Mrs. Julia Duncan, with her assistants reported having received more than $105 from the penny envelopes. The amount brought in for the muslin shower was $2.50.

Henderson, $1, Union Baptist church, $3.38, St. John church, $225 for all of which we wish to thank the donors. The muslin shower will be continued until after the fourth Monday in March.

Ford's Hair Pomade Fifty years of success have proved the merits of this preparation. What is more attractive than a beautiful head of hair? It has been the ambition of women in all ages. The use of Ford's Hair Pomade makes stubborn, harsh, kinky or curly hair softer, more piliable and glossy, easy to comb and arrange in any style desired consistent with its length, as long as the Pomade remains in the hair. This result may be obtained by one thorough application according to directions. Two to four applications a month will keep the hair in satisfactory condition, and two to four bottles, regular size, are usually sufficient for a year. Directions with every bottle. Ford's Hair Pomade removes and prevents dandruff, invigorates the scalp and keeps it from getting harsh and dry. stops itching and prevents the hair from falling out or breaking off and gives it new life and vigor. Absolutely harmless. Used with splendid results even on children and infants. Delicately perfumed, its use is a constant pleasure. A most satisfactory toilet preparation for ladies, gentlemen and children. ILLINOIS TRACTION SYSTEM—CARS leave Springfield: East. North.

The Proposed Coal Miners' Strike. The United Mine Workers of America met in Cincinnati last month in biennial session to discuss matters of general import chief of which is the question of striking. Few people who are not acquainted with coal mining can hardly be considered able to give advice, but it does not take an expert at all times to give the sanest advice on a subject so well known as coal mining in this state. The coal miners are getting fair wages now and work eight hours for a day. Most of the well informed miners with whom we have conversed, say that the men are getting good wages and shorter hours are not only absurd but will prove more detrimental to the laborer than the operator and we believe these men are right in their conception of the matter. Some of the men who are selected every two years to attend the biennial convention seem to think they are sent there solely to vote to "strike." Some coal miners also believe it is an asset to be howling for a strike. Strike every time they imagine they should have a few cents more on the ton. What the coal miners and all laboring people want is not strikes and tie-ups, but fair wages lower prices on wearing apparel food stuff and steady employment. What profit will it be to the coal miners to get a few cents raised on the ton and a corresponding raise on coal and powder and mining tools plus four or five months lay out from work? The proper thing to do is to strive to work together in harmony and conciliate things instead of stirring up strife and confusion. Therefore we advise the miners not to strike next month, but to continue working so as to not get deeper and deeper into debt. You will find that it does not pay; and, employes and employer should get along peaceably and in harmony any way We believe, by all means there should be no strike this spring. REV. N.

We want you to subscribe for The Forum. it stands for the success of the Negro. Rev. Crockett, pastor of Antioch Baptist church, is conducting a revival this week. Rev. Cisson of Danville, is assisting him. Up to this time not much doing in the local option fight. Of course we wets are sure we will win in the election next April. Not because we care so much for drink individually, but because we are interested in the welfare of the city and want the money to stay here instead of sending it to other cities. In the next week's issue we will solicit Decatur's advertisements for The Forum. We have 110 paid subscribers and we feel that we can do the Decatur merchants some good, and we urge the people of our race to patronize those who advertise with us. The thing the Negro must learn, is not to forget our friends. When one advertises with The Forum they are helping to give employment to the race. Lincoln News. H. A. Watkins, chief deputy for the national order of True Reformers, was in our city last Thursday evening and made a speech in the interest of that lodge. William Russell, an energetic young man is busy trying to organize a K. of P. lodge. Wm. H. Fuqua is the grand lodge officer in the True Reformers and is making the work a success. Give him your application to join one of the greatest Negro organizations in the world one that gives employment to Negro boys and girls. The True Reformers' Rosebud children's department gave a Watch This Space This Space Reserved fine concert at the True Reformers' hall. Rev. Lackey, pastor of the A. M. E. church and H. A. Watkins, were the principal speakers, after which Special Deputy Fuqua gave a brief outline of the work. Progress of the Negro Hon. Edward L. Taylor of Ohio in his speech in the House of Representatives, said in part that he had always been interested in the progress of the Negro, and favored the movement for the exposition showing the wonderful progress made by the Negro in this country. A careful investigation shows that at the emancipation the race as a whole was illiterate. The last census shows that it had been reduced to 44.5 per cent, and is much lower at the present time In the state of Ohio where the Negro is educated and take advantage of the opportunities for an education, only 17.9 per cent, were illiterate at the time of the last census. There are white countries with centuries of civilization behind them which cannot show any such advancement. There are 40,000 Negro students in colleges studying all branches from trades to scientific and classical courses. More than 40,000 have graduated from various secondary institutions, more than 40,000 from colleges. There are 30,000 teachers, 16,000 clergymen, 4,000 musicians, 17,000 physicians and surgeons, 1,000 lawyers, 300 journalists, 236 artists, 82 bankers and workers,52 architects. The race owned in 1904 property amounting to $1,500,000,000. They operate 476,718 farms and owns 187,797 farms. We have recognized this fact. More than 2,000,000 are engaged in agricultural pursuits. The Negro has not forgotten that religion is a necessary adjunct to good citizenship and they have 200,000 churches, valued at many millions of dollars. I believe that the people of the north as well as the south. should interest themselves in this great work. It appeals to progress; it appeals to prosperity. It would appeal to any man who has the best interest of the country at heart, who believes in progress, prosperity and posterity. Watch This Space Next Week Shoe Repairing. A. J.

Tuesday night before a large audience. His speech was a masterly one and eloquent. He denounced the whiskey traffic and showed all the attendant evils. He spoke in high terms of the colored people of Rome, Ga. The local press failed to reported all of his speech and therefore did him, the colored people and even the local option cause a great injustice. Chancery Notice. STATE OF ILLINOIS ss. Sangamon Co.
