1t puzzles US to comment on such
program, however we will say this, the
selections are excellent, and the club
though fully capable ofrendering them
in q manner to be appreciated even by

preparing for this occasion. The Harp
Qufckstep, and "Slide Waltz" by eight
guitarists will make peoples feet move
anyhow.

Steward, the Mandolin and Guitar du-
ct by Messrs d. Patterson and = w. @.

they will have Miss Emily Price, Rich

ing, among the best singers of Church

ter Wilder. Bass, though he should be
called Double Bass. On these we can
not comment, we simply announce
again that they viii take part. Miss
Deborah Patterson, Prof. ID. W. Davis
and Mr.. II. Garter.
The price-only 10 cents is certainly
o surprise to US. Our opinion is that
on that night standing room will be at
q premium.
The management has been request
ed to put reserved seats on sale, and
have put them down TO % cents. They
will be on sale at the True Reformers'
Bank and the PLANET Office.

About the Ohurches- Happenings in the
Ward


Last Sunday being the 1st day Of
March. as usual we were subject TO
many changes. Nevertheless most Of
our churches were we'll attended.
At the Moore St. Baptist Church, the
young pastor preached on the ARK of
the Covenant" and we heard some Of
the deacon brethren say that they had
never heard the subject made so plain
before. At night the Sunday School
held its monthly Concert. An excel
lent programme was rendered. Prof.
g. w. Hayes delivered an address on
this occasion.
We learn that Rev. Wells threw
shot with vigor on last Sunday morn
ing. 1t seemed that it fell into many
pew.
q highly respected widow OF this Sec
tion. took place at the Fifth st. Bap-
tist Church on last Sunday at P NJ.
At S:45 these services were replaced
by the Sunday School Union, at which
was a large crowd. Speeches were
made by Mr. Nelson Williams and
Rev. Powell. Solos by Misses Marga-
ret Tinsley and Emily Price and Mr..
g. @. Williams were exceptionally
fine. Prosperity for the Union.
Don't you know Mr.. g. T., is crying7
They say because Miss K. ]. has turned
him down for Mr.. <. l.. Eat him up
E., you got her.
There were a number of receptions
on last Sunday evening We regret
that we were unable TO attend any,
but we learned that an enjoyable time
was spent at all.
Say, did you notice how her coun-
tenance changed when her fellow was
called on to address the Union on last
Sunday ? but he was not there. she
said SHE told him not to do that.
Girls we don't see how it is that you
can engage yourselves to two young
men. and wear both of their rings on
one finger Girls don't do that.
We learn that some OF our young Rev
erends are going to revolutionize poll
l tics. That's right. If you don't sue
ceed at one thing, try another.
A certain young clerk who lives in
| Clay Ward was suddenly turned down
| by young lady in this section. Find
| ing that he was thus treated, he asked
l her in pleading terms to take him back
/ again. She decided to try him once
again.
we leaned that some of young mar
i ried couples are falling out very fast
l How shocking it was to us to hear OF
three couples parting in the last month
| Girls, love before you marry.
We learn that certain married
| man has been sporting a certain ole
maid for sometime. Does his wife
know it
Don't you know it was hard to dis
tingulsh the old maids from the young
er girls Yes, for they were powder
ed and painted, and blossomed as
rose.
"Have you seen ma aboutit ?" sai'
en- old maid to her fellow the othe
night. mo-" said he, IT had neve
intended such" why? Because
thought you were old enough to de
eide for yourself.
We wonder how his girl took it whe
he told her he would leave the city {
work. He says it goes as an arrow t
his heart.
Well Sunny, if you will noticed tw
or three issues back, you will find ths
we did speak of that dance at tn
Odd Fellows Hall. Yes, we couldn
miss it.

Mr.. Editor,
Dear Strive ask that you will
allow US space in your paper TO speak
of the work of the Mt. Zion Church,
and the stand she has taken against
wrong. We are uncompromising in
the right and being led by our ener-
getic and whole souied pastor, Rev. X.
3. hardy, b. ID 1--WE feel that success is
ours His motto is Trust God and do
right"
Last Spring when Rev. L. B. Goodall
succeeded in splitting the First Bap-
tist Church OF which he was pastor, we
took no stock in it. be led away afew
members who seemed to be devoted to
him and called council and had
themselves recognized and we kept our
hands Of After they had been recog-
nized by said council they began 20
visit our church, SO also did the men,
bers of the First Church, and when the
members of the First Church saw us
fellowshipping the Shiloh members,
they informed us that these were ex-
GUIDED members Of said First church
or some at least were excluded 9TH
ers had gone of without letters. When
we learned this and also that the menu
bers of the said Shiloh Church could
not visit the First Church, the Mt.
Zion Church informed the shiloh Bap-
tist Church through the deacon board
that we could not fellowship them un-
til they had settled their trouble with
their mother church. When the Shi-
Ion Church was thus informed kev. l..
b. Goodall, pastor Of said Shiloh church
made an unchristian attack upon our
pastor, to which he paid no attention,
simply said that Rev. Goodall needs 70
be prayed for. After Rev. Hard y
would not notice the Bishop of tue
Shiloh Church, this same DR.. ~ Good
ali came out in his full colours and
made an attack upon the church. The
following letter will explain itself:

The object OF the meeting is to get
the colored people of Dayton awake in
order that they may see what q spa
cious field in the political arena awaits
their arrival. We think it the du-
ty of every black man, that is if he
is interested in the common well
fare of his fellow man, to take an &C.
tive part in these meetings. In order
for us to be men to maintain the right
suffrage, we will have to unite our
selves. Gentlemen, we appeal to you
in the name Of the Negro to ever be
on your guard, we ask you as men who
have seen the condition Of the Negro
in politics to help us to remove this
enemy so that we can be able to go on
either side OF the assundered republi-
can parties, and tell them If they want
our support that they will have to give
US an equal representation on the tick
ct. We have been in the care Of one
or two would be Negro politicians for
four years and you have seen the out
come and the final result of would be

much appreciation in politics as any
