To meet this noble woman is
to be at once struck by the busi-
nees like spirit which character
ICES the body which carries it.
Mrs. Smith is the leading and
only lady cateress of our race in
western Illinois, and her services
are sought by the most fashion
able and wealthy of this section
of the Country. So proficient is
she considered that on one occas-
son a special train conveyed her
from Vermont to Beardstown to
render service at the wedding of
the daughter of one of the rail-
road officials.
Not only in the business world
does she play prominent part
but also in religious work. At
no time has she allowed the
claims of her livelihood to weaken
her interest in her local church
cares or UNCONVENTIONAL work.
Active in every movement in
church religious movements. She
has been honored by the Baptist
denomination. At the recent
meeting of the Woman's Foreign
Mission and Education Conven-
tion of the Wood River Baptist
Association, she was reelected
as its honored treasurer, which
office she has held for several
years. When the names of the
delegates for the National Bap-
tist Convention, which convenes
in Chicago, October, were men
toned, she was appointed as one
of the messengers to that body.
In our educational institutions
she takes a lively interest, not
only giving financial but other
assistance essential to the equip
ment of an Institution of learning.
Long may Mrs. Smith be spared
to help the Baptist and the race.

kins. After singing America the presi.
dent introduced Rev. H. w. Porter
who with few appropriate remarks
introduced Capt. John R. Lynch, who
was we'll received and his addr ess at
tentively listened to by both white and
colored. He talked OF the habits, Gus
toms and his experience in Cuba. He
emphasized the fact that the color line
was not known or drawn there in pub
lie or social matters-no separate
schools, churches, colleges, restaurants
barber shops and etc, but every per-
son went where he choose, without
even thought of color. In his judg.
ment Cuba is not place for either the
young colored or white man to go to
make money, either in profession or
business, for the Cubans are loyal to
their own citizens.
After his address the president intro
duced Mr.. Lewis E. johnson. secretary
of the Y. M. G. A. of Buxton, who in a
few minutes made telling impression
on the audience, and the people are
only hoping to hear more from this

Subscribers. -.

1t is an easy matter 10 solicit news
paper subscribers, if they are not re.
quired to pay for the same in advance,
but after subscriber once gets in
arrearage it IS very hard to get them
to pay up and keep up. TO some OF
the larger cities we send our collector
direct to the parties, and than they
will put off paying with some excuse,
they will promise to send it in few
days or weeks, and then never do SO.
They know that we wont come there
again that year, and the next year
they have a new excuse.
Now the plain fact is you owe the
Bystander and you ought to be honor
able enough to pay them without SO
begging. This week we sent out many
letters asking you to please remit, so
don't read this letter get mad and
throw it away, but send the amount
you owe. You have read the paper
why not pay for it.
