OUR ANNIVERSARY.

4. E
With this issueSwe begin orr second
years work. This is the anniversary
of the only Negro state journal in
Iowa. We are satisfied with the past,
but our experience has fitted us for
giving our people q much better paper
in the future The territory was new
to us, the patronage had to be builtup;
the people did not know we were a fix
ture in the galaxy OF leading journals,
the truth and relia bility Of our state
ments had first to be proven. All
these things have been fully demon
strated to every sane and thinking
person and we start outon our second
year with the encouragement that we
are to succeed. We appeal to you for
liberal support Our paper should en-
ter the home of every colored citizen of
Iowa, and if labor brings it's own re-
ward, in the course Of another year it
will do So The circulation is daily on
the increase and advertisers are getting
to know that THE Iowa STATE BY
sTANDER is the only medium through
which to reach our people. We are at
peace with all that is honorable and
upright. We want your friendship.
We want your patronage. We are glad
to do our share of the good for all.

NOT FINISHED But BEGUN,

Miss Jennie Tolliver graduated from
tie East Side high school Thursday
evening. Her school course was a COM
plete and thorough one and she
mastered every study required OF her.
1t is indeed gratifying to. have such a
worthy young lady to represent our
interest and race on such an occasion.
Her graduation is worthy of all the
praise that can be bestowed upon her.
Did she gain such an education in one
year or two years? No. Did she tire
and give up at every little adversely?
No. Did she always receive che best
of encouragement? No. She gained
such an education by years of study;
by faith and hope; by stemming the
tide OF adyersity and misfortune.
The thought that her parents were
so deeply interested in her education
should not be forgotten. The proof OF
this interest was demonstrated Thurs
day evening, when the fruits of their
labor were presented in the form of a
diploma. Daughter and parents went
hand in hand through the many years
consumed in the completion OF the
course. Hand in hand, be 1T gloom OF

may be given an opportunity to
demonstrate her ability.
