st. James A. NJ E. church, corner
Fuller and Jay streets, Rev. J. C. An
derson, Pastor. Excellent service all

enteen persons on the communion list
who on account of sickness could not
commune at the church. But through
the kindness of the Father of ALL
small pox, scarlet fever and other
things Notwithstanding, our ranks
have not been broken by the grim
monster
The small pox quarantine has been
raised from 381 Cedar street, E. w.
Crancum's residence, where number
of people have been imprisoned for
about three weeks. None of them
contracted the disease; the house has
been very thoroughly disinfected and
fumigated and there is presumed to
be no further danger from that source
whatever. BY the way, it seems that
the Health Department, which claimed
that it was going to keep the small pox
among the Afro-Americans, counted
without it's host, as a number of Anglo
Saxons have contracted the disease and
they did not "catch it" from Afro
Americans, either. The small pox
scare has had the effect of driving the
people to the Health Office by hundreds
to be vaccinated, which is good thing,
as vaccination is the best prevention.
During the Franco-Prussian war the
French lost over $4,000 soldiers by
small pox; the Germans when they
drove the French out occupied the
same quarters in which the dread dis
ease had done it's deadly work, but as
vaccination was compulsory among
them and all had been vaccinated there
were not over dozen in the whole ar
my who contracted the disease. Be
wise and be vaccinated.
The "Trip to Coontown," as present.
ed by the Cole and Johnson company,
at, the Grand, has pleased very large
crowds nightly. It is without doubt
taken all together, the best show given
by Afro-American performers that has
visited our city. Several of the mem
bers of the company are old-time
friends of number of our citizens and
they have been the recipients of nu-
merous social courtesies On Thurs

ter gave a luncheon, in honor of their

gene Hillman and Miss Kate Grasses

Rough Riders" gave a soiree in their
honor at the residence of Mr.. and Mrs.
G. A. Mason, which was very pleas
ant affair. Friday afternoon Mr.. and
