(Single Copy, 5c. 6 Months, 80c) SPRINGFIELD AND PEORIA, ILLINOIS, SATURDAY, AUG. 21, 1915. ($1.50 per Year in Advance THE VOL.11. NO.36 Danville, Illinois Danville, Illinois Last week two military balls were given at the hall on Walnut St. at which large crowds were present. Rev. Johnson of Iowa filled the pulpit at the Second Baptist church Sunday. Mrs. Annie Scott is on her vacation. The Pilgrim Knights of the World and the sisters are a promising order. Danville can afford a Colored undertaker, a lawyer and a dentist. Also another physician. There are nearly 5,000 Colored people in Danville and immediate vicinity. Danville can dispense with at least four to six church edifices. One noticeable thing in Danville is the large number of street and tent preachers. Most of them make good appearance and are intelligent looking. Mr. Cunningham has a coal mine which may prove a big success. Senator M. B. Bailey is held in high esteem for the uncompromising stand he has ever taken in regard to wholesale legislation, affecting the Colored people of the state. The Colored people have very creditable residences and live in good settlements. Dr. Rachel and W. H. Beeler own automobiles. Among the large property owners is Jake Square. Mr. Square is an all round business man and rents out a number of houses. J. M. Hassell Western Ave. has a small grocery in his residence. There are two Colored Churches in this locality. Wm. Wilson, a young man, is proprietor of a lunch room and restaurant at 423 N. Washington St. The place is a neatly kept one and he is pleased to have you call when in Danville. Special credit must be given Mrs. Scott and her daughter, Mrs. Nurse, for the excellent manner in which they conduct the Little Gem Restaurant. It is clean and well appointed and the service is prompt. The meals are as good as any to be gotten at the best hotels. The place is 121 Main street (up stairs.) Mrs. Bella Bass is visiting a sick brother in Crawfordsville, Ind., after returning she plans a trip to Champaign and the Exposition in Chicago, Ill. Jas. Carter was in Jacksonville and Springfield on political business recently. When you hear a fellow say Danville has a lot of "peaches," he does not mean fruit. There are not many peaches in Danville. Senator Bailey is attending the San Francisco Exposition. Dallas Morris made the race for Alderman from the 31d ward last Spring on the Independent Dry Ticket. He is an intelligent, progressive, aggressive man and should be encouraged to run again, regardless of whether he be "wet or dry." The Colored people, where they have a preponderance of the vote, are silly not to put up and elect a worthy Colored man. T. A. Day, who is recently from Shawneetown, has a very creditable store at 602 E. Madison street. Mr. Day has been engaged in the grocery business since March 1st. He has a stock of nice fresh groceries and our people in Danville should take pride in upholding such men. Barny Jackson is Superintendent of the Free Baptist Sunday School, 307 E. Lahr St. This is quite commendable in this young man. Mrs. John Gaddie, formerly of Springfield, is winning quite a reputation as a musical teacher of high rank. She has several scholars and her pupils are showing rare development. As a teacher of technical music and as an interpreter and imparer, she is said by students who have gone to eminent white teachers, to excel all. Recently at the high school there was a competitive musical program where all but one were Colored and this little girl, a pupil of Mrs. Gaddie's, who was called last, startled the white teachers, and the audience as well as winning the highest honors. After the program skilled white teachers rushed to the "Be Ye Doers and not Sayers only." girl to find out who her teacher was and how she became proficient along certain lines, better known to musicians. Mrs. Gaddie also has white pupils. She is a very able musicienne and, should she establish a studio down town, would become renowned. A. Hoffman is a well known and prominent Colored man of Vermillion county. He "broke the ice" for Colored men to embark into politics and receive some of the spoils. He nominated the present Recorder in the County Convention many years ago and Mr. Carter is still Recorder. County Coroner, Coles, has made a splendid record and is an ardous worker. He is well liked by all and highly esteemed D. G. Williams is Sheriff of Vermillion county and as fine a man as ever "toted" a rifle. He is a man with a big smile in contradistinction to most Sheriffs. Vermillion county now has a court house which will compare favorably with the finest and most commodious court house in this or any other state. A. Hoffman, the first Colored janitor of the court house and other Colored men are employed at the court house. Thos. Dale is County Treasurer of Vermillion county. He is a very affable man, held in the highest esteem by all who know him. Mr. Freeman is Probate Clerk, a man who stands well and is highly respected. County Recorder, Mr. Carter, is among Vermillion's most Colored men. He has many friends and admirers and is making a good reputation. Hon. Chas. M. Crayton, formerly assistant States Attorney of Vermillion county, is among the leading and most prominent lawyers of Danville. He is considered one of the best trial lawyers in Eastern and Central Illinois-Mr. Crayton is highly esteemed by the Colored people of Danville. He defended Henry Wilson recently in the alleged attempt to murder case. Wilson was acquitted. John H. Lewman, Vermillion county's States Attorney, is serving his second term. He made a very creditable record in politics, having previously served as City Attorney and Captain of Battery A., Spanish-American War. Mr. Lewman is very popular among the Colored voters and the whole people and is a strong republican. He is a probable candidate for Congress on the republican ticket next year. CAMP LINCOLN NOTES. CAMP LINCOLN NOTES. The week recently spent by the 8th was a week of good work. The men made a splendid showing. A military critic paid a special tribute to Co. L., the new company from Danville, W. H. Butler Captain. A white man and a Chicago soldier had a fracus one day, the soldier getting cut and one or two white persons getting "beat up" by soldiers. But the "small race riot" as reported by the daily Register was a myth. On Governor's day during the parade and maneuvers Dr. Shepherd's horse become frightened at the band and threw him running at high speed back to the stall. D. Shepherd, who is on the Colonel's Staff, was terribly shocked and the result is not yet determined. Among the Camp visitors were: Mr. and Mrs. Malone of St. Louis, owner of Porto Hair Co.; Mrs. Wynn of Decatur; Miss Lee of Champaign, who is a teacher at Lynchburg, Va.; Mr. Yates, representative of the New York Age; and others. METHODISM LOSES A STRONG PILLAR. METHODISM LOSES A STRONG PILLAR. In the death of the late M. C. B. Mason of Cincinnati, Ohio, the Methodist Episcopal Church and the Negroes of this nation lose a strong man, a pillar under a mighty structure. Intellectually he towered high and looked out across the vast expanse with a clear preception. His was a spectacular career, he wrought mightily and builted well. He was an orator of rare ability. He had, no doubt, few superiors. He was a potential man in the M. E. church. 1915. ($1.50 per Year in Advance 20 Cents per Month) and Peoria EMANCIPATION CELEBRATION. A committee composed of several men and women have organized for the purpose of having a creditable celebration this year at Bunn Park. We hope a good program will be arranged and a creditable affair will be the result. It is meet and proper that a creditable, clean, "non-fighting" affair be carried out. Judging from the personnel, this will be as it should be. "So mote it be." CHURCH NOTES. CHURCH NOTES. The corner stone laying at Pleasant Grove Baptist church Sunday, August 8th was an eventful affair. The work was done by the Masonic ritualistic orders by Central Lodge No. 3, A. F. & A. M. The church, when painted and finished up, will be a very attractive one and the pastor and members are to be congratulated for their work. The Union Baptist church is also making phenominal progress. At their last rally, which is denominated a $1,000 rally, $500.00 was subscribed to and raised. A very good showing for the pastor and members. They are to erect a new modern edifice which will be a great improvement. Out for Russel. James Carter, a busy political man of Danville, says he is out for Russel for Governor.

The law or requirement is a good one, but how about the fellows who don't know what a right angle is? We suggest however as a safety first precaution that all who do not know how to make right angles be supplied with a small "primary" geometry, to be kept by his side. "The Citizen" is the name of a new magazine, published at Boston. It is the finest literary effort we have seen, ecusing the crisis and the A. M. E. Review, published by colored people. But as the planet says, it will have to come downward, it started too high, there is no hope of its going upward or even holding its own, yet we hope against odds that it may or will. If the magazine attained a large circulation, without ads, the cost of its fine paper alone would be enormus. Where is the money coming from to pay these bills? Not from our people alone, not yet. If the democrats are not the cause of the country's almost insolvency, the people are from Missouri and will have to be shown, and too, before Nov. 1916. The person who talks evil about another to you will talk evil about you to another. So whenever you come across such a one, persuade or dissuade such a person to "desist" and talk of things enobling. The war and so forth. We hope they will allow the new president of Hayti to live long enough for his name to become pronounceable al least. We are indeed losers in the premature departure from the earth of Geo. Fisch, of Peoria. He was a Humorist of the highest rank and the height of his career had not yet been reached. On Tuesday last a surprise was given Mr & Mrs L. Carter at the home of the latter's parents on East Franklin St. The occasion being their second wedding anniversary. The groom being a barber worked late that evening and the bride was taken to the show by a friend. The house was was beautifully decorated with sweet pea foliage and Japanese lanterns. The surprise was a grand success. They dressed for the affair upon their return and marched in an aisle formed by a rope of sweet peas and stood beneath an alter of sweet peas foliage and ribbon while the ceremony was performed. After congratulations were received they all dispersed to the yard where games were played. There were thirty present. Refreshments of ice cream, cake and punch were served. They received several useful gifts from their friends. Miss Marie Collins of Pond spent last week with her cousin Miss Arminta Collins of this city. She returned home Monday. Mrs. Frank Rudolph and little daughter of Springfield spent Sunday with her sister-in-law Mrs. Marian Holland. Mr. Ivon Stewart of Lincoln spent Sunday with his sister Miss Daisy Stewart. Mr. Ross Houston of Shelbyville was visiting friends in Assumption Sunday. Rev. Harvey and Gray were here Sunday. Sunday was the last quarterly meeting to be held before conference convenes. The attendance was large likewise the contribution. Mr. John Collins visited friends in Decatur Tuesday. Mr. John Spears is seriously ill at St. Francis Hospital. He was reported better but is not out of danger. A surprise party was given in honor of Mrs. Lucy Spears of Bloomington last Thursday. She was visiting her parents and brother. They reported a very enjoyable time. Mrs. Malinda Lewis, who had been visiting her sister Mrs. Carter, returned to Litchfield Thursday. Miss Cellestine Carter was appointed private secretary to the principal of the Topeka Industrial Institution for the ensuing year. Miss Carter made good last year won the favor of all the faculty and was promoted from stenographer and book-keeper to private secretary. Miss Maragret Phenix of Decatur is visiting Miss Leona Stewart. She accompanied Miss Stewart home, who had been visiting friends and relatives in Decatur. Miss Arminta Collins entertained Thursday evening in honor of her cousin Miss Marie Collins. Many of the young people were present from this city and Assumption. The evening was very pleasantly spent dancing and playing games. Refreshments of punch, ice cream and cake were served. The Bunn Park, formerly Mildred, is one of the most ideal places for picnics and outings in our city—the Union S. S. picnic was held there last Thursday and the "kids" killed it to a "T Y T." A NEW THOUGHT Every time you speak or even think evil, that thought will go out and return ten fold against you, not against the person at whom you sent it. Think of that and let your thoughts even, be pure and spotless. DR. RACHELS. Dr. Rachels, a young physician, who came to Danville about a year ago, is making a great record for himself as well as working up a large lucrative practice. His patients are many and composed of members of members of both races. He is a hustling young man and is said by a prominent and experienced druggist, to have few equals and no superiors. This is quite a compliment comming as it does from a man who knows. Mrs. Harris, of St. Louis is visiting relatives in the city. Mr. and Mrs L. F. Osborne and children spent Sunday, Aug. 15th. in Indianapolis, Ind., the guests of Mr. Osborne's sisters whom he had not seen for a long period of time. Mr. and Mrs. Edward Laden left Sunday evening for Kansas City Mo. their former home. We are sorry to lose them as citizens.

Several avowed candidates are out for Secretary of State, Auditor and State Treasurer. Andrew Russel's name is till in the breeze for Governor also.
