Rev. and Mrs. w. S Brooks were be-
wildered last Monday evening at the
appearance Of number of members
of his congregation at their residence
with what one would call an old-fash-'
Toned surprise party. 1t was, indeed,
one long to be- remembered. They
brought meat, bread, coffee, tea, flour
and cake; in fact, nearly everything a
man could eat. Since Rev. and Mrs
Brooks have been here their labcrs
have been hard, but their congregation
has always showed that their work
was not without appreciation.
Mr.. Frank Danner is now very i'll at
his residence, 1917 Nineteenth street
south, suffering with intestinal obstruc-
ton. Dr. r. S. Brown is in attendance

thought it best to call, in consultation
Drs. Rockford and Bell, of the Uni
versity of Minnesota, who substantial
ted the diagnosis of DR.. Brown. An
operation seemed imminent, but under
the careful vigilance of DR.. Brown he
is now convalescing. Drs. Rockford
and Bell spoke very complimentary of
Dr. Brown, and said he deserves the
confidence of all.
On March 10 the members of the
Minneapolis Retail Druggists associa-
ton enjoyed a banquet at Hotel Nicol-
let. The Appeal is pleased to report
that aside from it's being a brilliant
success the Afro-Americans were rep
resented at the banquet in the person
of our own George Nelson, the only
Afro-American proprietor of a drug
store in the Northwest In a choice
speech by w. K. Hicks, the venerable
druggist and member of the board of
education from the South side, and pre-
cept or of our worthy Mr.. G. w. Nelson,
took occasion to allude to Mr.. Nelson
in terms of eulogy which all present
agreed were as true as they were elo-
quent.
He bespeaks for Mr. Nelson brill
liant and successful career. May his
future in the commercial and mercan-
tile arena be as faithful as have been
his efforts in the past to win for him
self high place in the profession
which he has chosen as a means for a
comfortable livelihood.
