SUNDAY SCHOOL CONCERT

The concert given by the A. NJ. E..
Sunday School last Thursday evening
was largely attended. and every thing
proved very successful. The church
was crowded by o'clock. The pro-
gramme was excellent considering the
short time for preparation. In the
absence of Rev. Phillips the pastor,
MIA. j. Vaughn delivered the open
ing prayer. Than a chorus by the
little urchins, followed by few re.
marks by the superintendent, j. H.
Shepard; then q recitation by Miss
jackson; song, america" by the
boys and q mandolin; song, 1.-THE Blue
and Gray" by the little Harding sisters,
assisted by four l.rger girls; recitation
by Ethel Stewart. Then select read
by Miss Sims. formerly student OF
Booker T, Washington's school; q very
beautiful solo by Ethel Bonner; q camp
scene by Clifford Williams and Geo. l.
Holt; q beautiful sung duet, BY MIR.
Douglass Miller and Mrs. J. H. Shep-
ard. The closing piece was a song,
entitled 20 Restless Sea" by q double
quartet of young ladies. In fact space
will not permit much deserved com.
pliment on each piece, yet the hearty
applause proved this fact. Refresh
ments were served by J. L. Thompson's
class, Future Hope.

DOES NOT WANT YOUR
TRADE. =.

There is a restaurant Cor at
least it is know by the name of
Star Restaurant, on Sixth Ave.
opposite of the street car waiting
room, that does not want Afro
American patronage. Oh they
will serve you, but the service
they give you is somewhat worse
than nothing. Not many days
hence a colored person went in
there and he waited for several
minuets before the, man with the
white jacket took his order. In
fact the colored man was COM
PEELED to ask the waiter if he was
going to take his order. His re-
ply as'"if you want me too"
and he had taken two other orders
and served them, and they had
come in after t he cclored man
had. So we would suggest to all
Afro-Americans not to go to that
2x4 cheap chop house, because
their food is worse than an egg
that has been in cold storage for
several years, and then again
they don't want your trade.
