zens band was a great success finan-
cially and otherwise. The participants
were: Mrs. Shoemaker who recited
some excellent selections, which showed
her to be an elocutionist Of very fine
order. Miss Tiecher performed on the
piano, and besides accompanying the
soloists she rendered very skillfully
selections from the masters. Mr.. Adams
sang several solos which were earnest

handled his cornet in a masterful man
ner, his triple tongue work was en-
cellent indeed. 1t was altogether a
fine performance of refined and cul-
tured music. The audience was large
and appreciatlve. Down stairs re-
freshments were served, and while this

DR.. Chas. H. Utter, a prominent ply

patient young lady sixteen years OF
age, who had very :,Ad attack of dys-

Postofice Inspector Pulsifer wen

Postofice Inspector Pulsifer went to
New Zion yesterday to investigate the
loss of a S. gold piece from a registered
letter about one year ago. The money
was lost in transit and the inspector is
out trying to trace it. This shows how
careful the government is about valua-
bles entrusted to it's care. The same
work would be entailed if the amount
was only a quarter. If anything IS lost
from a registered letter, the officials
continue searching for it until it IS
found or the responsibility is fixed on
some one through whose hands 1t
passed. 1t frequently happens that the
lost article is found in an old mail at
the mail bag warehouse in Washington.

A negro Mark Twain. or Sam Jones,
or Mister Doclz.., or whatever othe"
parsonage will suggest a combination
of wit and wisdom, has come upon the
southern stage. His name is w. w.
Lucas, and he is the field secretary OF
the Negro Young Peoples Christian
and Educational congress chat is to as
semble in Atlanta in August. \ few
evenings ago he made an address to
one of the largest negro congregations
in Mobile and some of the things he
said and which his audience greatly
applauded, are worthy of reproduction
and preservation.
Speaking of the kind of Christian
training needed by the colored race,
he said:
"a great hindrance to the progress
of the race is the two by four, bigoted,
selfish, ignorant Baptist or Methodist
preacher. He is in every community
opposing every measure of progress y
Right here he struck one Of the
worst enemies of the negro population.
"A ACCCAL lCuCt ol6 oStASA
church in this city lends apt emphasis
to his diagnosis. The negro preacher
who is%forever likening his race to
the Hebrew children living in the
brickyards of the southern white
Egyptians, and predicting bloody
plaques to come for their deliverance,
is the greatest obstructor of negro
progress to right thinking and honest
living
On the subject of negro slovenliness
and the repugnance to the race that
the bad and personal habits create, he
spoke thus
Il have decided that the only way
to get rid Of the Jim Crow car is TO
get rid of the Jim Grow negro.
