vention of the ColOred People of Geor-

''To the Colored Citizens of Geor-

leading citizens and representative
men, comprising several counties of
the state, met in a business conference
in the city of Albany, Ca, September
1919 for the purpose of considering
every feature of the condition of the

secure the cooperation of all the peo-
pie, of all corporations and leaders

and fitting to elevate and benefit our

convention is called for the special
benefit of any individual or Organiza-
ton or special business of anyone
among the cOlOred race, but hope that
everyone will observe that such con-
ventiOn is a means of laying the
foundation for the success of all the
people and all organizations.
1--WE, therefore urge that every per-
son who feels an interest in the race
will aid the citizens committee in
making the convention a success.
There should be a delegate represent
ing every county and business in the
state among our people.
Leading business women, as we'll
as men, should attend the convention.

The majority of women are nervous
because they suffer from some form of

The greatest obstacle in the way of
recovery is that they do not understand

CUT UP $500 WORTH OF GOODS
Dublin Man Used His Razor in Store
and Is in Jail.


and Is in Jail.
John Smith, white man living
about fifteen miles from Dublin, has
been arrested and lodged in jail
charged with malicious mischief. 1t
is said that Smith went to the store of
the Sam Weichselbaum Company in
Dublin and with a razor destroyed
property amounting to about $500. He
IS supposed to have gone down an
aisle containing clothing and cut a
big cash in every pile that he passed.
The clothing was cut in so many places
as to be unfit for any use.
Soon after Smith had visited the
store it was discovered that much
damage had been done to the clothing
with the aid of a razor. He was sus-
nected at once. The Weichselbaum
Company several weeks previously
had had some trouble with Smith, and
il is supposed that he was actuated by
a spirit of revenge. A warrant was
issued for him and he was arrested
and placed in Jail. He exhibited no
surprise when arrested and never even
asked for what he was wanted.

STILL BETTER.

Recently we made mention of
the good work being done by Prof.
Sam'l L. Frogge, late of this city,
as President of the Lindsay-Wil-
son Training School of Vanderbilt
University, located at Columbia,
KY.
Since then we have learned that
the attendance of the school is
2S5, exceeding that of last year
by 65, and of that number 200 are
new pupils. One hundred and
twenty of these scholars board in
the dormitories and some thirty
in private families.
The outlook for the second term
is even still better.
Prof. Frogge is a teacher of
ability and fine education and
possesses the happy faculty of
knowing how to impart his knowl-
edge to his pupils.
We wish him every success in
his new field of labor.

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES resi-
SHERLOCK HOLMES - THE
UNIVERSAL FAVORITE.

Probably no publishers an
nouncement of the year will bring
more widespread satisfaction than
that of Mcclure Phillips that
they will bring out Conan Doyle's
1.-The Return of Sherlock Holmes"
stories in the middle of February.
Sherlock is more universal ia
vorite, without doubt, than any
character ever created in fiction.
He belongs to the library, to the
kitchen, to the parlor floor, and
to the attic. His name and what
it stands for has become part of
the English language as thor
oughly as Kodak, and it is GER
tainly cherished closer to the
heart. There is good reason,
then, to believe that the oppor-
tunity of having the stories, which
have been appearing in a weekly
magazine throughout two years,
in compact book form, with char
acteristic and impressive illustra-
tions, will be hailed with JOY by
thousands upon thousands of peo-
pie, many of whom are not usually
considered in the reading class.
People will find him the same old
Sherlock-only more SO; grown
with his readers. The tangle of
mystery in these thirteen stories
is more intricate than ever before,
yet the wizard Sherlock, inscrut-
able and intrepid, unravels the
knot with magic dizziness. His
adventures are, indeed, amazing
and blood-stirring. He adds
many cubits to the stature of his
reputation, and the world will
thank DR.. Doyle for his daring act
in resurrecting his beloved hero.

crawl over the flowers and inhablt
the ornamental trees. Housewives
in the midst of house cleaning are
compelled to stop frequently to
vent spleen and a horrible death on
stray pillars that have crawled
from house vine into the pantry.
A prune orchard out at Norton's on
the c. & E.. is said to have been
completely stripped of every green
leaf. An Alsea correspondent re-
Gently related that the pests were
prevalent in that section in march
ing armies.
In Corvallis, home owners are
fighting them with fire and poison.
A pole with a blazing rag saturated
with coal oil and set afre at one
end and fierce and furious woman
at the other end, is one of the chief
perils that beset the pillars. Some
times there is danger by this meth
cd to the house, but the story is
that an angry woman after a cater
pillar is oblivious to, the little things
like a burned home or an imperilled
family. Another method Of attack
is with a spray of Paris Green.
The poison is terribly fatal to the
pillars, and as it puts them through
about as agonizing death as does
the hel1-fre plan, it is quite as sat
isfactory to the average lady. and
less dangerous because after its use
the house is likely to be standing
intact.
