NUPTIALS, SMITH-SPEARS,

On last Tuesday evening at 9 o'clock
occurred the marriage of Mr.. Frank
Smith to Miss Etfie Spears, at the home
of the Brides parents, 1s41 Des Moines
street. There is no doubt but what a
number of people will be surprised
when they read in the BYsrANDER
about this wedding, as it has been kept
a secret when it would take place. 1t
was very simple and pretty home
wedding, only two persons aside from
their family and relatives were present
The bride was attired in white silk and
carried boquet of white roses, which
made her look very handsome. Her
sister, Miss Cassie and Mr.. E. w.
Thompson were the attendants. Rev.
T. L. Griffith, pastor of Corinthian
Baptist church, performed the cere-
mony, after which an elegant four
course luncheon was served. The bride
has been a resident of our city for
several years and during that time has
made a host of friends. The groom is
an industrious and energetic young
man, and has been an employee of the
c. B. I. & p. R'y., for a number of
years. They left Wednesday noon for
Topeka, Kansas, where they will make
their future home. We can safely say
that we express the wishes of their
many friends in extending to them our
hearty congratulations for their future
happiness.

CONFERENCES ADJOURN.

This and last week witnessed
the close of the Methodist confer
ence at Los Angeles, the A. M.
E. at Chicago and the A. M. E..
Zion at St. Louis.
The Los Angeles meeting done
a good deal of head work and
maped out much to be done in the
next four years. They also made
some changes in their church laws
and discipline. They retired a
few of the old worthy bishops
and elected eight regular and
three missionary bishops, one
colored man, the first in the
history of that church.
The Chicago meeting from
what little newspaper reports
there was and other source we
can glen, they practically done
little or nothing. In the language

that same old gang would oppose
anything that Governor Cummins
might favor. 1t was not really a
real test of Cummins' strength,
but aside from this the stand pat
element has never showed any
encouragement for the colored
voter. In their last weeks con-
vention only two colored delegates
to the state convention. Then
four years ago the Cummins fac
tion selected two colored alter
mates to 60 to Philadelphia.
This year not even one. Then
what is worse then all to our race
the resolution committee cut out
the plank that had been in the
last three republican platforms
viz, resolution condeming lynch
ing and the disfranchisement of
the colored voters of the South,
and in the new platform not even
line or a word is mentioned
about the colored voters. The
race missed the work and help of
the colored leaders that is usually
seen in conventions viz. Geo. H.
Woodson, r. N. Hyde, Jasper
Prince, John L. Thompson and

IN MY STEPS WHAT WOULD YOU

DO?
l can't forget their faces,
Try whenever l may,
BY night as well as day.
Sometimes they ask me questions
Such as; how long am to live?
And, do you think that l will marry
Within another year? and do you think
The one love is-just and true to me,
Such things I'm sure to hear
Each day in the whole year;
Care! of course do not care,
For if did not know these things
Where would be? Now where.
They look to me for sympathy
But no sympathy do they bring,
And, unless l answer up just right
They are sure to change my name.
A man in my profession
Such things don't always mind,
But you'd get more satisfaction
II you'd be more kind.
