To The Public.
Men Whom you Should Support and
Those Whom You Should Not
Support. &.

We now enter our crusade against
those merchants who are averse to
reciprocity, t. e., so far as the Negro is
concerned.
There are business men in Spring
field, Decatur, Lincoln, Quincy and
over the state who get large sums of
colored peoples money but discrimi-
nate in various ways, and we desire to,
call the attention of our people +
that very fact in strong and emphatlOl
language. We shall point the firms
who say by their actions they do not
want your trade, we think it high
time our people were resenting such
insults, by giving it to them who
want it. We are forced to have Ne
gro papers, because the white papers
do not represent nor chronicle the
doings Of the better element of cur
people. We are not doing this out
Of any personal spite, for there may
be many OF our personal friends who
will be condemned. The merchants
who advertise in reliable Negro
journals. are fit men to be consider
ed and those who deliberately refuse
are to be summed. The same is
true in the professional line. We are
forced to name as unfair to our peo-
pie the following firms, that say
they do not want your trade: The
Globe Dry Goods Co Johnson Hatch
er. Maldener & Sons, Bunkkor's Mil
linery, all saloons on South 5th be-
tween Adams and Monroe streets,
Loper's restaurant, Huskey's restau-
rants, HerndOn's Dry Goods store.
There are others that will be nanny
ed, any Of you who may be personal
friends Of these firms, should take a
copy OF this paper and ask them as
to the veracity of this charge. All
the firms whose ads you see or have
seen. are o. k. the Negroes spend
thousand of dollars per year here and
we need not be afraid to ask for our
rights.

call them, trim many of the edges OF
pelerines, collars, sleeve caps and folds of
all kinds. and swinging tassels mt pen

big braid ornaments decorating the fronts
OF coats. etc. A few fringes, too, are in
troduced upon the new model, but TO no
great extent.
Buttons are important in the trimming
scheme this fall and are used in all sizes
and grades of elegance. We ave seen a
number of pretty bodice and skirt models
in chiffon. broadcloth and other soft light
weight woods, with little buttons and simu-
lated buttonholes set in long lines from
whist to hem on the skirt and from
shoulder to girdle on the blouse
Handsome laees and combinations OF en-

isn't it simply glorious the effect this
beautiful weather has on everybody" a
girl friend said to me this morning. 1T
makes one feel so good. 1 feel as if / can't
walk. l want to skip all the time"
/ could not help agreeing with her, for I
do think the weather has a great deal to
do with our moods, and after she left me
i Just made a study Of the people / met
to see If I could notice any change in their
oo~untenances.
And there was a change. Even the men
wEo hardly take their eyes from their
morning papers as they ride down to the
city on the trolley cars day after day,
seemed to realize the beauty OF this glo-
rious lay. They forgot the news of the
street" and their sporting columns" for
abe time being in their seeming eagerness
to get all the good of the crisp morning
air and sunshine.
And the children on their way to school!
How they skipped and gamboled. Their
fleet hardly touched the pavement; glad
ness and joy was apparent in every move
Iment, for the spirit Of the lovely autumn
Evas upon them. Older and more digni6ed
Lgirls. with bare heads, and arms full of
Ibooks, hurried along with steady step
and sparkling eyes. Even the teachers
Booked as IL they thought the perfect day
was made for them, so happy did they
seem. The impending cares Of the school
room seemed to hold no fears for them
they, too, appeared to have caught the
spirit Of the day, for they looked happy.
After all, we have much to be thankful
for in this great big, bright world. So
much that the Joys and pleasures that
are melted out to us seem to outbalance
any sorrows and any disappointments
that may come our way.
And does 1t not seem that our troubles
are only just what we make them? If
we nut them from us and try to bear up
bravely, they soon vanish and we forget.
but il we brood over them and thinl
about them, what o difference! What
huge proportions they seem to assume.
Let rs try to get all the sunshine and
happiness we can out of life cast GU
worries and troubles to the wind. and VIZ
will soon learn hat we should be thanks
full for being alive to enjoy all the good
things which come to us.

WEDDINGS.
GiIman-Ames.


OF interest to Newarkers was the mar
riage OF Miss Constance La Neve Gilman,
daughter of Charles A. Gilman, OF 81.
Cloud, MIMI, and Arthur Arlington Ames,
of this city, which was performed IN 81
Johns Episcopal Church, st. Cloud, by the
Rev. DR.. E. Atwell, the rector, Saturday
afternoon.
The church was prettily decorated with
palms and white flowers. The bride, VINO
was given away by her father, wore a robe
of princess lace over white satin, with a
tul1e veil caught with orange blossoms
She wore the gift of the bridegroom, a
gold brooch set with amethysts and pearls.
Her bouquet was of bride roses, In shower
effect. The brides sister, Miss Hester
Elizabeth Gilman, acted as maid of honor,
wearing white point de esprit over pale
green taffeta. and carrying lilies OF the
valley. Miss Helen Ames Sterling, a niece
of the bride, was flower girl, wearing a
white lingerie dress over taffeta, and car
rying a basket of pink roses. Master Jack
Sterling. the brides nephew, acted as ring
bearer. The ushers were DIR. M. F. COOK,
Thomas S. Erwin, Charles n. Barden ana
John Fawcett, all of ST. Cloud.
The ceremony was followed by a recep-
ton, in the Gilman home, after which the
couple left for a trip. They VIII reside IN
East Orange. The brides father is a for
mer Governor Of Minnesota. Mr.. Ames
is a grandson OF the late Judge John Mills.

FALL WORK.

Before the weather gets too cold have
fall work done. This means that the roof
must be repaired, leaves cleaned out of the
water spouts and troughs IN the house,
c~isterns and rain barrels cleaned, locks
mended or new mes put in place and count
less things done to the windows and doors,
A roof should be given all attention, for
often what is seemingly a good roof may
be one under which snow will blow in
winter and then comes a day when the ae-
cumulation under the shingles begins to
leak, and there is nothing to do but look
hopelessly on and then re-paper the room.
If you know that the chimneys are not In
good condition. have them fixed at once.
Do not suppose because they have had a
summers vacation there is any improve
ment in them. The fireplace will smoke
in the same a~ggravating manner and fires
will die on account of improper ventilation
through sooty kitchen chimneys. This
work is all absolutely necessary and should
be done before the weather is too cold.

RuTroNHo1E EMBROIDERY.

Some of the prettiest embroidery we
see is done in buttonhole stitch. The floral
designs are worked from the heart to the
edge of petals, the leaves from the CEN
trail vein to the outer edge. Either soft
colored silk or mereerized cotton Is used
for this purpose. 1t is very handsome for
shirtwaist designs. collar and cuff sets,
and innumerable are the patterns for
fancy work. In the lattek we can see
white linen and heavy colored crash
which is worked with white linen or col
ored floss. One lovely dolly of dark
brown art linen has a border Sof cream
colored silk. the leaves and howeEs are IN
pale blue--a freak Of nature. yetAau ar
tistic combination Of beautiful shades.
One could easily fashion collars and futfs,
dresser pieces. etc, the beauty of he
work being in the skill of neat needle
work.

WEARING OF
ONES CLOTHES.

The wearing of ones clothes means the
proper putting on of clothes. The dress
maker and the milliner nav do their very
PES in turning out a woman properly,
and then through careless indifference in
putting on the clothes the whole effect Is
lost.
The little things in dress, like most
little things. have a troublesome habit
of growing into big things.
The colors for the business tailored suit
should be chosen from the darker shades
for obvious reasons. One grows less
quickly tired of darker colors; they are
less -inconspicuous, and cnn easily be made
with accessories suitable for many &C.
casions.
In choosing this gown for everyday
wear much should be taken into consider
ation-use, service. expense, and last, but
far from least, becomingness.

walking.

The girl who is confined in an Office
for six days of each week does her
self an injustice if she does not in
dulge in a long walk on Sunday, es-
pecially if the day be bright.
So many girls form the habit of lying
in bed until noon, when they arise with
a headache, eat a late breakfast. fol-
lowed by a big dinner a few hours
later, and then they wonder why they
feel so badly when Monday morning
comes.
1t is Just as easy, and a great deal
better, to get up at your usual hour,
or maybe a little bit later, and make
the most of your day of leisure by rid
ing to the end of one of the car lines
thai lead to the mountains. and walk
ing over the country roads with some
of the prettiest scenery in the land
spread before your gaze.
You will wake up in more ways
than one, for all OF the worries that
have been inside of you all during the
week will vanish into nothing, and
you will not be able to help thinking
of how much beauty and happiness
there is all about.
And you will make up your mind
that in the future you are going to
try to keep away from the sordid and
commonplace, and keep in tune with
the things worth while.

Its influence.

The influence of your day on the
mountain will last nearly all of the
week, and by the following Sunday
you may renew it, so that o need
neve be without inspiration.
Sometime you complain a great deal
about YOU disagreeable disposition.
You say you find 1t hard to be pleas
ant, like other people, and that you are
constantly losing friends because of
your ability to make cross retorts.
Now, do you know that you could do
a great deal to improve that DISPOSE
ton by simply getting away from the
daily grind once in a while, and filling
your mind with pleasant things to think
about. 1t sounds a little bit Silly, but 1t
is true.
A pleasant walk on a bright, sunshiny
day will make you feel at peace with
all mankind, and as I said before, its
influence only gives out when you have
IN opportunity TO enjoy another walk.
When you reach home you will have
a wonderful appetite, and you will feel
so pleased with yourself that you will
beam on everyone else.

The busy woman will welcome those
little transparent collar supports that need
no sewing. They have tiny pin points top
and bottom to hold the stretched lace or
other thin material which forms the collar
firmly in place. They were seen at Bam-
berger's.
Good values in women's high button and
lace shoes for fall and winter wear are at
tracing wide attention at Marshall &
Balls. They are made up in all the new
feathers and are offered at reasonable
prices.
The rage for plaid in wearing apparel
has been extended to the display of fall
hociery. AT the David Straus store there
is a showing of silk and isle hosiery in
stripes.
The display of new jewelry at Hartde-
gems includes a scarf pin of rose gold
with a gold horse mounted on a bar of
gold and platinum. Another is a combi-
nation of a horseshoe, a bit and whip in
dull gold. For the horsewoman nothing
could be more appropriate.
Nothing seems to have been forgotten in
the display of feather boas ant stoles seen
at w. ". Snyder's. They are made of the
tiniest bead tips, in white, pale blue and
soft mode colors. One particularly fetch
ing model is of dull brown, graduating to
pure white at the ends.
A stunning black velvet hat seen at
Hahne & CO. among their importations
has no trimming save two gorgeous
plumes, held in place by a buckle of bril-
liants. One plume is black n the other

Lace robes and gowns of allover lace
continue in favor for dressy wear. The
display at L. S. Plaut G. Co. s includes all

laces.

IEWELRY NOTES.

Some of the new watches resemble
flowers, Inset with diamonds or other
precious stones. A small lily design was
set with pearls. while a neat violet pattern
had each violet set with a diamond. The
flowers are not colored, but usually of a
dull gold, or a green-gold, on bright gold.
The patterns are small and neat.

Apples ANA AppIes.

Just 10Y the apple boughs in the or
chards on the mountains are weighed
down with their loads of bright red
fruit. You may have as many as you
are to pick up from the ground, but
as a rule the farmers object to shak-
ing them from the trees.
Every now and then you see groups
of small boys, with sacks over their
shoulders, going homeward, late in the
afternoon.
Have a apple, missis," they cry
cheerfully. and of course you answer in
the affirmative, and away you go, eat
ing close down to the core, and hoping
another boy with another bag will come
along very soon.
But there is nc use in trying to de-
scribe the fun you can have. The best

yourself. MOLLIE.
