(Single Copy, 5c. 6 Months, 80c) SPRINGFIELD AND PEORIA, ILLINOIS, SATURDAY, AUG. 7, 1915. ($1.50 per Year in Advance Published Weekly in Springfield and Peoria Historical Society State House VOL. 11. NO. 35 (Single Copy, 5e. 6 Months, 80e) SPRI Published W VOL.11. NO.35 Danville, Illinois Mrs. L. H. Kemp was in Gary, Ind., Sunday, August 1st on business of National Mission Work of the North Baptist Association. Rev. T. Price, formerly of Springfield, who pastored at St. Paul A. M. E. church for 5 years, much beloved by all, is the pastor of Allen A. M. E. church and is well liked by all who know him. The enterprising firm of Chavis & Son secured the government contract to haul the U. S. Mail for the next quadriennial. This is quite a step forward and shows energy, enterprise and business acrument. They have purchased valuable property on East Harris street and will build a fine warehouse and office. Miss Adelaide Price, a school teacher at E. St. Louis, Ill., has secured a first grade teacher's certificate on account of meritorious work at Springfield High School and Wilberforce University. Mrs. J. E. Newly, 424 E. Van Buren St. accidently fell recently and has been indisposed since but is convalescing. Danville people need be proud of R. Maburry, the enterprising grocer, who has one of the best stores owned and run by a Colored man in central Illinois. Mr. Maburry is a thorough business man and therefore is worthy of emulation. He is located in a thickly settled Colored community and should be patronized even more largely than he is. He has also opened a fish and poultry store which does a large business. This store is located on Union street. The niece of Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Anderson, 313 Lahr street is visiting them. She is from Iowa. Saloons, even in Danville, close on Sunday; tight. While no saloon men have been given license (certificates) they have paid the required amount and got receipts and operate their business pending the Court's decision. Frederick Price and wife of Indianapolis, Ind. were visitors of Rev. and Mrs. Price. Co. L. of Danville, Ill., has just recently been mustered in and are in camp now at Camp Lincoln. This promises to be a very able company. Mrs. Stella Howell of Quincy, Ill., is spending the summer with her parents, Rev. and Mrs. Price. The Colored people are doing well in Danville, and the future is bright. At the present time there is no money in circulation and the enterprises which give employment are inoperative, but that will not remain but for a few months. Among the enterprises that are improving steadily are: Chavis Bros. Transfer Co., who are as energetic, enterprising and successful as any young men in the state. They have a large business. W. H. Beeler, the well known young business man who is second to none in the Transfer and Storage business, is still pressing forward. Wm. Thompson, the shoemaker and repairer, is doing business at the same stand and improving. Mrs. Franklin, who conducted a restaurant on South street, has moved to 36 College street, where she has a very commendable business, a large dining room and lunch counter. The dining room is well appointed with a tile floor and a large convenient kitchen. Mrs. Annie Scott, proprietor of the Little Gem Restaurant on west Main street has conducted business there for several years and continues to improve. Her place is well kept and everything is neat, clean and cool. The prettiest place in Vermillion county and a thing for which we are very poud, is the old Soldier's Home, cared for and run by the United States government. We saw many old Springfield "lads" there, among whom was William Head. The Home is absolutely sanitary. DIST. CONFERENCE M. E. CHURCH. The district conference, Missouri branch, M. E. church will be held at Kinloch, St. Louis, from August 11th to 15th. This conference includes Central and Southern Illinois. CROP CONDITIONS. The crop conditions over Central Illinois are very good but the continued heavy rains plus the cool weather is menacing. The floods are playing havoc in the low lands. Fruit and gardens are yielding bounteously. Old people say this is the rainiest summer since 1884 and those who are less than 40 years never before saw such a "wet country," though many places are "dry." Few if any women remember 35 years ago, especially the widows and unmarried "damsels." POLITICS. Ward G. Murray, and not A. G. is the man whom we referred as a candidate, recently, for the lower House. L. A. Brawner, a contractor, is spoken of favorably for Coroner. Mr. Rhoades, the present incumbent, is not an avowed candidate. It seems that J. H. Drennan will not be a candidate for Circuit Clerk to succeed himself. H. S. Woods has not said he is desirous of succeeding himself as County Recorder. It is presumed that Alvin Keys will be a candidate to succeed himself, but he has not said so. Neither W. J. B. nor Thos. E. Lyon have said they would be candidates for the lower House next year. PEORIA. Miss Florence Harrison, 1215 2nd Ave., and nephew are visiting Miss Harrison's sister, Mrs. James of St. Louis, Mo. for an indefinite period. Mrs. Ida Muse of Jacksonville, Ill., is visiting her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Joe Conway. Mrs. Arbuckle is visiting in Dacatur, Illinois. The Union Picnic of the A.M.E. and Baptist churches was held at Mackanaw Delles, July 29th. The churches are getting together. Misses Haydon and Watson recently entertained friends from Canton. Henry McPhetridge and Mrs. Benj. West entertained with a dance party at Glen Oak Pavilion July 29th. Mrs. Dr. Cotton entertained a number of her lady friends at a card party, Friday, July 23. Mrs. Ragland of Missouri is visiting her mother, Mrs. Buckner on 6th avenue. The Nil Desperandum Club gave an outing last Sunday, July 25th. Peoria needs to press forward in business. The Jefferson Hotel Baseball team went to Springfield Sunday and played a good game, even if they did get beat. It rained and the crowd was small. Mr. and Mrs. Chas. Freeman of 100 Jackson St. entertained in honor of their sister, Miss Amelia J. Freeman of East St. Louis, Illinois, Tuesday evening, July 27th. Miss Freeman has been taking a Teacher's course at Normal, Illinois. CHURCH NOTES. New Hape Baptist—Rev. W. H. Carter is enteirng upon his fourth year as pastor and has made visible progress. Also harmony prevails. The Sunday School is progressing. Mrs. Whitfield of the N. H. Burroughs School, Washington, D. C., spoke last Wednesday evening. Sunday will be Union Services. Revs. Manuel and Dickey will be present. Beautiful and excellent were the services at St. Luke's Episcopal church last Sunday. A large attendance was out. Father Simons cordially invites you to attend these services at 11 a. m. and 8 p. m. 15. ($1.50 per Year in Advance 20 Cents per Month) and Peoria DECATUR. It seems some times, that where there are no saloons, Colored people become progressive and embark into more legitimate and ennobling businesses. E. R. Brown, the barber, has purchased property on the outskirts of the city and will go into the chicken raising business. Brown has done well since coming to Decatur, he managed the baseball team for a season and that seemed to add staminy to his will. Whenever a person is capable of managing a baseball team, he can and generally makes good at some other business. Another commendable thing for Decatur is: her people are thrifty. We look for Decatur Colored people to make a marked success soon, be patient and courageous as well as optimistic. The thing most needed among Colored business men is business knowledge. A Colored Undertaker can live in Decatur because Decatur Colored people die too. A Lawyer can make it, Clanton has gone to Chicago. A Dentist can make it, a shoecstore can make it and various other businesses. If the Northern Colored man does not wake up, Southern Negroes should come up and make use of these Golden Opportunities, but it takes business men, men who do business and not mere business babies who are afraid of cool air, hot air, rain and difficulties. Out for Russel. James Carter, a busy political man of Danville, says he is out for Russel for Governor.

SATURDAY, AUG. 7, 1915 The newspaper and job printing establishment of the "Journal and Guide," "The Newport News Star" and "The Planet" of Richmond Virginia, are about the most complete businesses of its kind owned by the race in the United States. The pay-roll of the "Journal and Guide" is about $700 per week. Messrs. A. B. and H, C. Young, president and secretary respectively, as well as editor and associate, are experts and know what to do to succeed in the difficult field of journalism, Col. Matt Lewis, the owner and editor of the "Star" at Newport News, also has his paper on a substantial basis and a balance on the ledgers in its favor at the end of the week. John Mitchell, Jr. editor of "The Planet" has recently installed in his plant a new No. 14 Linotype, the latest creation of the Mergenthaler Linotype Company of N. Y., and the first machine of the type to be introduced in this district, comprising Deleware, Maryland, Virginia, West Virginia and North Carolina. It has a range of adjustibility hitherto unattained in a machine with such new and complicated parts. It makes and sets type for both straight matter and job work. The ordinance of Commission-Reece, regarding the way to turn at crossings is timely. Even in Lincoln, they have regulations as to cross-turning, the sign says: "keep to the right." The future hope and prospect of this town are good, if we get some factories or something to give our people steady work. We advise that everyone that has not steady work, procure two acres and cultivate that two acres well and that will make enough to fill in the idle three or four months each year. Your word should be your "bond" especially when it is possible. When you promise to forward your "dues" to this office on a certain day, why don't you do so? The July number of the A. M' E. Review may truly be said to be, a gem. Would that every lover of literary things of the high order were privileged to read it. If you will leave 25 with the editor of the Forum a copy will be procured for you. Our people (col.), need to read more constantly after the best brains of their race. The Colored people of Virginia pay taxas on real and personal property to the amount of $34,743,656. They pay taxes on personal property and real estate in the city of Richmond to the amount of $3,180,662. At the close of the civil war they were practically penniless. MECHANISBURG Mrs. S. J. Rucker has returned from Carlinville, Ind. leaving her daughter very much improved. The Grace M. E. Church of Buffalo will give their annual picnic on Saturday, Aug. 7. I wonder why E. G. tears his clothes; why C. H. is hard on his pants and overhalls? Margaret Shannon has returned from Jacksonville, where she spent two weeks with her sister. Why is it that people have so many pretty flowers this year. Why is it that A. R. is always on the run? What makes H. S. so little? What makes girls from 16 and up hate it when school starts. Mrs. A. C. Hopkins has a bad toe. Read Carefull. A Musical and Literary Entertainment Under the Auspices of the Ever Ready Mission Society will be given Thursday Eve., August 12, 1915 at the New Hope Baptist Church, corner Eighth and Miller Sts. Some of the best Local Talent in the city will be on the programme. The public is invited. Mrs. Nancy Coleman, Mgr. CHAMPAIGN CHAMPAIGN The people of Champaign are a very docile progreasive groupe. Urbana and Champaign are full sisters and, combined, make a very big city, especially during the ten months of school time. A very heavy rain fell in Champaign last Friday Night, July 30, probably the hardest rain in the history of the town. Several streets looked like tributaries of the Sangamon river and the "kids" were wading in the very streets of the town, in water up to and above their knees, boat-riding was good, but they had not boats. The Grand Lodge of the G. U. O. of O. F. convened here this week, Beginning Aug. 3. Mrs. Eva T Dean, a very active church and club woman, has been honored with distinction of being appointed to make the welcome address at Chicago for the National Baptist Convention, Woman's Auxiliary Dept., which sets in Sept. next. Mrs. Dean is quite versatile, energetic and progressive. She is also an indefatigable worker. DECATUR Mr. G. A. Smith and Mr. Geo. Kinney, will leave Aug. 3rd for Peoria to attend the races in the "still city." The race colt of "Bunch" Smith, which was injured by getting kicked, is improving. G. A. Smith was in Springfield this week. Mrs. Daisy Barnes who has been ill is improving. Mr. Jas. Carter made another flying trip to Rockford, Ill. Miss Clarabelle Redmon is visiting her relatives. Singleton's New Cafe will soon be ready for business. Decatur's improvements continue. Nickens Grocery is getting better and better. HAIR DRESSER Mrs. Belle Bass, Danville, Ill. 1001 E.

Palm Beach Oxfords for Men, Elks' State Convention, Price..... $3.50 THE PROPER DIAGNOSIS. Dr. Barnesby, of New York, thinks and is probably right, that doctors are making erroneous diagnosis in many cases, and that "medical ethics," is a term used as a subterfuge and a shield; that "medical" should be eliminated and only "ettiquette and ethical" used. He has a comprehensive exposition in the Tribune (Chicago) of Aug. 1st., and every doctor should read his charges and averments and then examine himself and see if he be giulty as charged in the indictment. If doctors, under the ambiguous "medical ethics," are killing many of us before our time has come, it is a traversity on the profession and an abortion, both cruel and destructive. Doctors, we believe, in many, if not all cases, should consult other members, in serious cases before they conclude on a diagnosis. It is obvious that if a wrong diagnosis is taken, many a person must suffer and die, prematurely. Also, doctors should not be jealous of each other, afraid his colleague will gain a point on account of superior knowledge of a certain ailment possessed by a patient. It has been said that doctors will either cure you or kill you and there is, or seems to be, some philosophy in the adage. Too many doctors, as Dr. Barneby says, labor under the "medical ethics". Your family doctor should be sure he is right, study the patient carefully before diagnosing and there should be less "operations"—too much experimentation is being done and too much "practicing" on the patient by the doctor who did not learn the fundamentals in school and is too lazy to read and study and keep up with current medical juris prudence.

Osborne defeated the Leland Hotel Hams in a fast game last Tuesday at Giant's Park for the benefit of the Old Folks Home. The rain caused this crowd to be small, but it was enthusiastic. The battery for the Fats were: Merriweather and Miller. Score: Fats, 12; Leland Hams, 4. The game was the best of its kind yet played by the fans. There were several pitchers. L. Williams made some good hits, but was put out on bases. Dr. Ware hit safe to first and scored. The prettiest play was a double when L. Williams hit the ball to second baseman. Mr. Osborne is preparing for a fat and lean game in the near future. This makes the second time the Fats trimmed their antagonists. The Baseball game last Sunday between the Giants and Peoria was marred on account of the rain, yet there was a fairly good sized crowd out. The score was: Union Giants, 7; Peoria 6. Peoria came to win. Tomorrow the Giants begin a series of games to be played with the Thomas and Clarke aggregation, one of the best teams of the city. 1865 1915 National Half Century Anniversary Exposition and The Lincoln Jubilee The Most UNIQUE EVENT of Modern Times.
