THE WILSON-BATES VOWS SAID Among the Greatest Social Events in the Past Decade—Presents Many and Costly—Decorations Most Elaborate. WILSON-BATES Among the Greatest Past Decade—Pr Costly—Deco Elabo The community is radiant with joy over the happy marriage of Miss Hazel Bates and Mr. John Wilson, Jr. which occurred at the Trinity Evangelical Lutheran church on last Wednesday at the hour of 8 p. m., Prof. Boecler of Concordia College, officiating. The altar was almost obscured from view with clusters of cut flowers, while the chancel was a corresponding profusion of palms and ferns, through which the groom wended his way in imposing dignity to meet his beautiful bride, who with her wedding party were simultaneously entering through the main entrance of the sanctuary. First came the ushers, followed by little Margaret White, cousin of the bride, and Inez Craddock, niece of the groom, attired in white embroidery and bearing baskets of white and pink carnations. Next came the bridesmaid Miss Mabel Jefferson of Cincinnati, Ohio, gowned in white silk marquisite over pink, carrying an arm bouquet of carnations and ferns. Miss Helen Clem of this city followed, attired in white silk marquisite over white and carried white carnations. Next was Miss Ethel White, also in white silk marquisite over pink, followed by Miss Effie Wilson, sister of the groom; also garbed in white silk marquisite, each carrying bouquets of carnations and ferns. Miss Lalite Chambers of St. Louis, Mo. maid of honor, entered in silk marquisite, beaded with corals, and carried pink flowers. Then came the bride on the arm of her father. She was grandly costumed in embroidered white silk voile over silk, and wore a white lace cap, from which gracefully fell the bridal veil, artistically caught with orange blossoms. She carried a shower bouquet of bride's roses. The groom was attended by Mr. Frank Bates of Chicago, brother of the bride, as best man, and Messrs. Bruce Ford, Larue Willis, Evert Nelson and Harry Wilson, brother of the groom, as ushers. Mrs. Geo Bates, mother of the bride, was robed in black net embroidered with silk grapes over lavender silk. Mrs. John Dulf, the bride's grandmother, wore black embroidered silk net over satin; Mrs. Fred Roberts of Chicago, cousin of the bride, wore silver gray silk trimmed with jets; Mrs. John Wilson, mother of the groom, wore violet silk. A reception was given the bride and groom at the Masonic hall parlors, where, amid flowers and plants over which was suspended a large bell of carnations and ferns, the happy couple received the congratulations of their many friends. A wedding supper was served in the dining hall. Among the special gifts to the bride were the gifts of her grandmother and a select tract of real estate, the gift of her father. Mrs. Bates-Wilson is the only daughter of Mr. and Mrs. George Bates of 1032 S. Spring street. She is a graduate of the Spring-field high school and also of the Correspondence School of Music, is highly accomplished and a social favorite. Mr. Wilson is the eldest son of Mr. and Mrs. John Wilson of S. Eleventh street. He is a young man of exceptional merit and is employed as clerk at the Woodside Coal company. Mr. and Mrs. Wilson will be at home to their many friends after July 1, 1911, at 1513 S. 16th street. Among the out-of-town guests to the festivities were Mr. Frank Bates, brother of the bride; Mrs. Frederick Roberts, her cousin S VOWS SAID At Social Events in the Presents Many and Decorations Most corporate.

A Word to Graduates Ye sweet girl graduates, know ye not that you know not? If you do you are wise. We desire to offer a word of advice if you will permit. You have completed your studies up to a given point. You have not learned very much yet. Some of you have completed the high school curriculum, yet you don't know but a very little—you have studied Latin and higher English and history. You can prove that the square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides, travel roughshod through Caesar's Gaulic wars, extract the square and cube roots of numbers, and locate, in your mind, the various stars, etc., yet you know but little. Therefore, we advise you to take cognizance of this fact and deport yourselves circumspectly before the world, and thereby bring credit upon your parents, yourselves and your alma mater. You have just begun. The people consider that diploma a light and you must not extinguish that light, but let it shine and be a lamp unto your feet and a guide for your associates. Something tangible is expected of you graduates—if you possibly can, continue in school, at least through the high school. You high school graduates, go on to college—learn to cook, to sew, to do general house work and wash and iron as well as short-hand and bookkeeping—one is as essential as the other. Many of you girls can't wash a garment properly; you do not know how to iron, you can't sweep and dust a room properly. Cooking is out of the question with you. But, above all, learn to do what you do well, and know that you know not and you will learn. But whatever you do, strive to hold up the flag of virtue and maintain a good name; go to Sunday school and to church; keep good company; choose your associates scrutinizing. "Good name in man or woman, dear my Lord, is the immediate jewel of the soul." Where Does the Negro Get Justice? This is a question of today and is often refreshed in our minds from time to time. Is the Negro an inferior being to that of other races? No! A thousand times no! All men, regardless of race or previous condition of servitude, were created equal, or born equal in the eye of God. But we do confess that we are inferior in advantages and numbers, but surely not innately. Men are not inferior or superior because of race or color, but only inferior or superior in heart and brain. Superiority only lives where there is honesty, virtue, charity and love. The enemies of the Negro, because of his color, is an enemy to the above named characters. Every child should be taught that, regardless to color, we all have the identical shade of brain. Why is it, whenever opportunity presents itself, the Negro is scoffed and lowered in some of our minds or hearts? The same is done in our school rooms on commencement day. Why not, after the colored child has used its brain and scaled the same mountain to finish the same course in school, be placed on the same level with the white child? "Be ye doers and not sayers only."

Twelfth Annual Meeting to be Held in Little Rock, Ark., Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, August 16th, 17th and 18th, 1911. For the meetings of the National Educational Association to be held in San Francisco in July, information has been furnished as to how arrangements should be made for Pullman or tourist car parties. The same information, with variations, may be of interest and value to the members of the National Negro Business League. 1. Carefully canvass the matter in your own city or state. Formulate your plan of action, then select active workers in each important center to carry out the plan. In all cases make the special Pullman or tourist car party a personally-conducted affair. 2. Select the most attractive route for the going trip in Little Rock to arouse interest among the delegates. Start early enough to permit stop-overs at points of interest en route. The one in charge of the party should make a careful study of points of interest, etc., that he may in his correspondence, advertising and on the trip speak with authority. 3. Get the active co-operation of all the railroads and especially of the initial line in your state. When you have decided upon the TORUM 0 days Per Year to July 20, 1911 route you favor, write (or better see personally) the general passenger agent of that particular railway. Tell him you will undertake the work of securing a special car party to the Little Rock meeting, if you have positive assurance of his active co-operation on the following lines: (a) The railroad to furnish full information to all prospective members of the parties, giving data covering itinerary and points of interest en route to Little Rock. (b) The railroad to circulate this information and itinerary with your co-operation among the members of your Local or State League. (c) The railroad to advertise the special Pullman or tourist car party in all the Negro newspapers of the state. (d) The railroad to send instructions to its agents throughout your state to carry out the active canvass for members for the party, with your co-operation. 4. Secure headquarters for your party in Little Rock, through W. M. Alexander, chairman committee on homes, $504\frac{1}{2}$ W. 9th St., Little Rock, Ark. Persons intending to organize such tourist car parties are urged to keep the corresponding secretary, Emmett J. Scott, Tuskegee Institute, Alabama, in close touch with their plans, so that he may bring parties in the same territory together. Attention to this request will be cordially appreciated. It will facilitate the whole movement. Yours very truly, BOOKER T. WASHINGTON, President. Tuskegee Institute, Ala., June 17, 1911. PEORIA A GREAT CITY Second Largest City in State Is Very City-like and Has Best Class of White People and a Very Thriving Colored Element Peoria is a great city. She is located on the banks of the Illinois river and was founded a good many years ago by Joliet and Marquette, French settlers, and has been growing ever since. She has money to "burn," and her revenue is as the sands of the sea, innumerable. There are more fine buildings in Peoria than you ever saw in Chicago or any other place. Colored men are working in the large department stores and most of the banks have colored porters. At Schipper & Blocks' there are ten colored men; among them are Warren brothers, John Pruitt, Ed. Helven; one colored man at Model Clothing Co., Mr. Byers; three at B. & M., one or two at Sengenberger's; at the two 5 and 10 cent stores there are four men, among them is Mr. Johnson; the head clerk in the Peoria Garbage Co. is a colored man; at the Creve Ceour club, one of the finest in the State, employ 30 colored men and women. There are as fine a set of men at this club as you ever saw. The headwaiter, Mr B. A. Manning, is one of the finest men you ever saw. He has the respect of his assistants and they are all efficient men. Wm. Freemond, 100 Jackson street, rooming house, first class. When in Pecoria call there. One of the finest and most efficient colored business men in this city is Mr. I. C. Harper, proprietor of Harper's Home Pantatorium. He has one of the best equipped outfits for his business CHAMPAIGN AND URBANA. Quite a number of deaths in the Twin Cities, among whom was Mr. Townsel, the father of Rev. Townsel, who was run over by a team of horses and was killed without a moment's warning. He leaves quite a host of friends to mourn his absence, both white and colored. Also Father Allen, who departed this life on the same date, and their funerals was on the same day—quite a sad day. One was conducted by Rev. Jackson, ex-pastor, at 12:30 p. m., and the other at 2:30 p. m. Also Mr. Morrison, wha attempted suicide, departed this life June 15, 1911. Funeral at the Salem Baptist church. The Masons had charge of the body. Mr. Frank Watson is still on the sick list. Rev. J. H. Manly of the A. M. E. Zion church gave the citizens of the Twin Cities one of his fine lectures; subject, "My Red Top Boots." It was a fine subject and ably discussed by the speaker. We learn some noble and grand thoughts from the speaker. Come again, Rev. Manly; our doors are always standing ajar to receive so noble men. Miss Erney Moss was a graduate from the high school, coming out with honors. Miss Mildred Brown was a graduate of the Urbana high school with honors. Miss Unice Priest of Peoria, and Miss Gladys Campbell of Chicago, attended the graduating exercises. Rev. Mrs. William, of Carbondale, Ill., and Rev. Sission of Danville were visiting Rev. Owen Tuesday evening and also paid a visit to Bible class, which met at the residence of B. F. Crenshaw, 1307 W. Hill street, Urbana, Ill. Mr. Julian Lewis of Cairo, Ill. graduated from the University of Illinois. His father, mother and sister accompanied him home. Historical Society, State House, 15 cents Per Month GREAT CITY city in State Is Very as Best Class of He and a Very Colored ment that could be wished. He is polite, genteel and versatile. He does a good business. Mr. Harper is a member of that greatest of all secret societies, the Knights of Pythias, and will represent his lodge at East St. Louis July 11 next. Clark & Co., dry goods, employ two colored men in their large store. One of them is J. E. Harper. Some of the best white people in the world live in Peoria. Mayor Woodruff is considered the best man that ever filled that exalted position. The colored people are a little slow along business lines and we call their attention to this all important matter for the good of the race. We must go into business. There should be at least one grocery store in that large city, a meat market and colored people ought to have nerve enough to enter all the avenues of business. What are you waiting for? There ought to be one colored lawyer in that city. Don't you have legal business? Mr. Geo. Hawkins is in the transfer business; that is creditable. For heaven's sake let the colored people all over this State wake up and go into business and quit this foolishness. We want the colored people of Peoria to read The Forum. We intend to give a good paper and the Peoria news. Mr. Leander Taylor is agent and correspondent for Peoria. (Continued in next issue.) Mr. F. J. Jordan has returned home from Indianapolis under the care of a specialist for his eyes. He is doing fine. Mr. Chester Brewer of 1206 W. Main street, Urbana, entertained Miss Moss and her company, Miss Campbell and Miss Priest, Saturday evening. Mrs. Lizzie Scott and Miss Kate Brown gave a reception in honor of Miss Mildred Brown at the residence of Mrs. William Brewer on W. Church street Wednesday evening after the graduating exercises. The Salem Baptist church is making an extensive preparation for a big rally the third Sunday in July, 1911. We hope to stir all well-wishers of the cause to a sense of duty to give something to the cause. The object is to raise money to install a furnace and pews. Now come, brothers, and help us in this cause. If you don't care for the house of God, do something for the children, who will compose the future church. Collections are poor; will remit my part in full soon. Capital City Lodge, K. of P., to Attend Grand Lodge at East St. Louis in a Large Body.

Harry A. Converse is being highly spoken of for State's Attorney. State Senator Hay is being endorsed for United States Senator. Whom shall we have for Representative from this district? Mr. Lyon has served two terms; as not an avowed candidate for another. Dr. J. A. Wheeler is a probable candidate for Secretary of State. J. MeCan Davis would make a good man for Governor. Did you ever before read of a more ridiculous controversy than that of the four Springfield daily papers about which has the largest circulation? Paul or some of the learned men have said that all men are liars. May be he had reference to these four dailies. Soon after the close of the Civil War, the average colored man thought fine clothes were sufficient to make the man, and a large per cent believe that yet. This idea is erroneous, fallacious and dangerous. "Worth makes the man, and want of it the fellow." Harry A. Donaldson was in the city this week, the guest of his parents. BLOOMINGTON. Mrs. Alberdy Hoagland is visiting in Peoria, Ill. Mr. Harry Lewis and Mr. C. Jackson went to Indianapolis last Saturday, where they will be employed at the English hotel. Mr. Albert Osborn, who has not been expected to live, is improving slowly. Mr. George Crawford is very ill at his home on S. East street. Mrs. Claudie Stearles is visiting her mother and sister, Mrs. Young and Mrs. Lashby. The Hoagland Oil of Gladness display made quite a showing in the parade Tuesday. Casey Bros. wagon was also decorated very nicely. Base Ball The married men were defeated by the High Life Monday by a score of 4 to 11. Some of the married men haven't been able to get out to work since the game. The High Life ball team has signed up Clinke Stevenson, one of Bloomington's best pitchers. With Clinke in the box, and Page behind the bat, Campbell at 1st base, Haras, 2d; Moore, short, and Robinson, 3d base, it is hard for the batter to get a hit. The boys play much better since they got their new suits. All the K. of P. are requested to attend the first meeting in July—Wednesday, July 5. Bloomington is very much in need of a ice cream parlor and soda fountain, where the colored people can be served. A good opening for some good business person. Mr. Louis McCreary is the only colored man employed by the American Express company driving a wagon. Mr. McCreary is a very intelligent and promising man; was employed by the American Express Company seven years ago; in 1907 went into driving business; was partner in Bell & McCreary on S. 10 went to work for Muel- works, and in the fall of Summer Has Come And the desire to change your raiment is sure to be with you.

Senator Dailey of Peoria, one of the biggest "hearted" men in the whole galaxy, rose last week on the Senate floor and, in words of "fire," denounced Hurburgh and others who "conspired" to defeat the deep water canal bill as traitors likened only unto Judas Iseariot.
