ouncv of srHse into your heads?
You see the laIge city papers
call for Ice clerks, stenogrvphe~s
factory girls. salesmen and sales
ladies'; this means white. and yet
you cannot be made to see the
inevitable necessity and the eff
cacy in our demand. Wha in the
world are you made Of? Are you
possessed with race prejudice
yourselves. or Gre you mean and
ignorant? We also entreat you
paLronize only the white firms,
that advertise in the colored pa
pers. Don't patronize those that
refuse. We are not afraid to tell
their nymes. We shall do so too
soon. Watch the Forum and
pick out the ads you see occasion
ally. Do in business as you do
politics. There is Andrew Cor
don. let him repair your shoes,
let Drs. Henderson or Ware do
some of your medical services;
let Rhoden care for some Of your
dead. There are Ed. L. White,
Miss Addie Duncan, j. Edward
Thompson, grocers, Osby and
Brown, Neal and Brown and so
on. Read the Forum and pay
for what you get And you COL
ored business people. don't over

them; treat them right, keepyour
places clean, deliver goods
promptly, and do fair.

Death of Miss Champney.

On Friday, Feb. Is, 1907, Kath-
arine, only daughter of Doctor and
Mrs. F. j. Champney, born in Muir
ray, Nebraska, Jan. 81, 1895, died
at the home of her grandfather,
Durell Lampman, in Perrysburg, o..
"Tired, she sleeps, and life's poor
play is DER"
Katharine died after an acute ILL
ness of two days.
The patience and sweetness shown
during her long years of helplessness
endeared her to all who knew her.
She lay embowered in hundreds of
blossoms, the gifts of loving friends,
and her funeral seemed like gather
ing of dear ones to bid good bye to
her, going home to her own country.
Katharine's years were few but her
life was complete. She had gotten
from life all the pleasure it held for
her, and has escaped the dreariness
of increasing blindness and helpless
ness.
Her mission as an influence for
good was accomplished, and so she
went "to live with dear grandma"
The funeral was held Tuesday,
Feb. 10, at 2:30 p. M. from the
residence of D. Lampman by Rev. G
HI. Lowry.
