A very pleasant surprise party was
given on the Rev, Graves and wife last
Monday evening. by the members and
friends of his church. It was planned
and arranged by Miss Bell, Mrs. Crav-
ems and Other members of the party.
The reverend and wife had not the

Trustees detained the pastor at the
board meeting and some of the ladies
took Mrs. Graves to the home of a
friend to spend the early part of the
evening, and when Rev. and Mrs.
Graves returned to their home thew
found the house crowded with friends
and the dining-room table laden with
Hour. canned fruit and groceries of
every description. These tokens of
friendship were presented by one Of
Trustees, to which the reverend re-
Piled as only surprised and happy
man can. He assured them that he
appreciated their efforts IN showing
their regards for him, and that they
had made an impression that he could
not forget. All enjoyed themselves
for the passerby could have heard the
happy voices mingled with music as it
hoated upon the air. Rev. and Mrs
Graves are fast winding the friendship
OF the entire membership by their
faithful work since coming here.

VAS TT AN HONEST
VERDICT.

The first of this week the Jury
at Pioche, New, returned a ver-
dict Of assault and battery a.
galnst seven persons accused of
participation in the recent hang
ing of Negro named Ellis, at
Fay, New.
Think of twelve jury-men that
would render such a verdict when
it was proven beyond a doubt that
these men were part of the mob
that did the hanging.
Judge Talbot, in his charge to
the jury, instructed them to either
return verdict of guilty of as
sau1t with intent to kill or one of
acquittal.
When the verdict was read in
court the Judge scored the jury
for returning such a verdict.
The men will be sentenced Mon
day.

BISHOP GRANT IN
IOWA.

Bishop \. Grant, while touring the
state in the interest of his work,
dropped into Des Moines Friday. the
guest of Rev. Horace S. Graves. re-
naming in the city until Saturday.
He goes from there to Buxton, where
he will dedicate the church Sunday
The bishop will return to the CITY
some time next week, after dedicat-
ing a church at Indianola, and will
be at the St. Paul's church Sunday
week in the grand rally.
Presiding Elder Malone will also be
here on that Sunday and other
preachers of the state to assist in
the rally to raise $1,000.
The bishop was in Burlington, Mt.
Pleasant and Ottumwa this week,
where in each place hundreds of peo-
pie heard him speak or preach. The
bishop is just from his extensive
southern trip, and during this trip he
stopped in Washington, D. c., and
had a long interview with the new
president. He and the Booker r..
Washington episode created the
greatest newspaper sensation of any
thing in the land for many months.
Bishop Grant is no boubt the most
versed man on the negro problem
and other questions relative to the
race than any other American today.
Every president since Grant has had
private talks with him on the ques-
tions affecting his race and one of
them offered him the most coveted
and honored position in the nation,
but the good bishop refused, feeling
that he could better serve his church
and race as bishop Of the church
that had honored him.
Among the many large churches in
the bishops district there are none
in which he has more interest than
ST. Paul's of Des Moines. The good
bishop thinks that the fine class of
colored people of ST. Paul's and Des
Moines ought to have a more mod
ern house of worship, one at least
large enough to accommodate the
large membership and following who
flock there each Sunday unable to
be seated. To this end the present
pastor, Rev. Horace S. Graves, was
sent and instructed to work. On
rally Sunday the bishop and visiting
brethren will preach in the church
at 1O:3O and 3 o'clock, and 1880 the
services will be held in the Y. MIC.
A., where it is hoped the public will
honor the bishop with their presence.
