Ward.
Last Sunday was bright day, and
many were the happy thoughts of the
day Our churches averaged a large
attendance.
At the First Church on last Sunday.
a student from the Virginia Seminary
preached an excellent sermon TO a /
large congregation. 1t was a noble ef- |
fort, and plainly manifested the talent |
possessed by our young men
The pulpit of the Moore Street |
Church was filed on last Sunday |
morning by Rev. Scott Burrell, who |
preached an eloquent sermon In the |
afternoon, Rev. q. N. Harris of Way |
land Seminary hlled the stand. He |
gave an excellent discourse.
One OF the ugliest cases in the histo- |
~ of Jackson Ward occurred on 18th
inst. The floating rumor read thus |
Mrs. Eva Brooks started out from her |
home, 1924 West Leigh Street TO pur-
chase groceries at store one block |
above. While there she was sent for /
by woman doctor who practiced on |
her with some sharp instrument which |
probably produced her death. After
some time had elapsed. a wagon was
sent for and the dead woman was put
in basket and hauled as clothes to
an alley on Cherry St., where she was |
left. The driver was totally unaware |
of what he was hauling. After he left |
the woman was taken out and placed /
beside the fence where she was found |
shortly afterwards" Whether this is |
true OF the case, we know not.
1t seems that our Church Hill ,on-
far, - - Il
standing English language as he |
doesn't know the difference between
facts given and an asserted opinion.
He claims that we straddle the fence
when we agree with him in defects OF |
some OF the Social Clubs of today. and
on the other hand approved of the So |
cial relationship of our friends on a |
small scale" Yes, we approve of so |
cial clubs, and we did not think your
good judgement W ,uld allow you 60 do
otherwise. Maybe ne didn't know
the meaning OF social clubs.
MEANING OF SOCIAL CLUBS.
Our contemporary tried to get our
readers to believe that social clubs"
mean TO throw away money, to become
dissipated and obnoxious. But not 50.

tionship and companionship have been

fallacious doctrine; for the time has
come that our people are studying and

SUFFER FOR BEING MAN.
1t is at this period that this gentle
man asserts himself a man, aud claim
that he will have to suffer for so being.
Yes, it may be that he is 81 years old
but the true principle of manhood
seems TO be left behind. Remember

for it soon became too hot fer him, and
like the. drones he was forced to seek
other quarters. Now it seems to be
one of dem sins dat makes him moan
After little lamentation he writes,

he can't straddle.
OUR DIsAPPRoVALs.
Although we are in favor of social
clubs, We are not in favor of some of
their practices. This is where our con
temporary says we straddle. Yes, we
totally disapprove of some of the un-
mindful practices indulged in by some
| OF our clubs, but when we look at 9th
ers and the meaning OF these words,
we endorse them.
On last Wendesday night, the resi-
dence of Mr.. and Mrs. w. A. Young
was brilliantly lighted, announcing the
marriage of Miss Bette Young to Mt.
Charles Hall The ceremony was per-
formed by Rev. d. Webster Davis.
| Messrs. w. A. kyles and John r Cog
bull acted as ushers. Messrs John and
! Richard Mann and Walker BeniamiE
furnished music for the occasion.
The funeral of Mr. John Smith was
|
last Monday evening. The church was
lcroWded, and the Rev Wells in his ex-
lcellent discourse paid e glowing trib
ute to deceased.
We have an intensely amount of sick
ness on hand at present. We hope
them speedy recovery.
