THE IMPERIAL CLUB BRILLIANTLY
BRINGS UP THE REAR
Brief Sayings from the Ward

Last Sunday being the first Sunday
in March was somewhat inclement,
and most Of our sunshine christians
remained at homo. Thus our church
es were not so well attended.
DIR. Corey preached a practical and
instructive sermon to the congregation
of the Ebenezer Baptist Church on last
Sunday morning.
The services at the other churches,
as far as can learn. were conducted by
their pastors,
The question has Deen asked "How
many churches do 'Magno' embrace ?"
to which we will glvs the following
list: Moore Street, EbeRezer, Sixth
Mt. Zion. Third Street, Fifth Street,
First Baptist and Mt. Carmel church
es
The great series OF club entertain
ments are about ended, and their
members are looking forward to their
annual outings.
On last Friday night, the Imperial
Club gave their annual entertainment
at the Odd Fellows Hall. 1t was early
when the guest entered that delightful
hall, and at the sweet strains of music
tripped the light fantastic toe until
they had dived IN the wee sma hours
At 80 it was announced that the club
would be addressed by Mr.. John Ma
brey, who successfully pictured il from
its organization. IL was also address
ed by Mr.. w. A. kyles who was also
present. The next event WAS the
Grand March, which led the guests
down into the dining-room where ev-
cry one feasted sumptuously from a
heavily ladened table.
Brethren, it pays to pay your debts.

MARK OF A LADY OR GENTLEMAN
(By O. NJ. Steward ,

(By o. NJ. Steward)
II you'd observe
Gentl6ty,
And seem of some
Ability:
Keep quiet;
Just try it.
Aud IL you don't with me agree,
That gentlemen and ladies be,
The Quietest folks that you can
find
In all the walks of human kind,
I'll write no more nor say nor do,
In giving good advice TO you.
To move in good
Society,
You must observe
Sobriety-
In talking.
In walking,
Not drinking,
But thinking
That Others are as good as you,
And some Of them much better too,
That gentleness becomes a man,
AS bluster is to him a ban;
And IL he would be rated high.
Must pass his angry passions by.
SO, when you enter anywhere,
Tho you be most superbly dressd,
Let no one know that you are there,
Unless it be by his own quest,
"A lady !" or "A gentleman ]"
Will oe she verdict Of each one,
For none admires the noisy clan,
Which all good people justly shun.
Two empty barrels make more
noise
Than fifty filled with wine;
And empty headed men and boys,
Than loaded wagons nine.
Noise and bluster, great hubbub
Betray vulgsrity,
And show one up at home or club,
Devoid charity.
