TO ERECT MONUMENT
FOR POPULAR CONDUCTOR

The first division trainmen OF the
Rio Grande System have just inaugu-
rated a movement which il to result
in the placing OF handsome monu-
ment to the memory of H. A. Will
hanson, Hank" as he was familiarly
known, in Fairmount cemetery. Dem
yer, where the body Of this well known
and popular conductor now rests
Hank" Williamson was one of the
pioneer conductors on the system and
was known to every resident OF this
section of Colorado who had occasion
to make trips over the line. He was
always courteous, always genial and
to know him was to love him and
respect him. His brother trainmen
always held him in the highest re-
gard and now to perpetuate his mem
ory they will erect monument which
will forever mark his grave. This
monument will be Of Salida granite
and will be turned out by the Salida
Granite company. -
Subscription papers are now being
corculated by Conductor Mike Gar
rett, Harry Weaver and others and
there is already a generous showing
from the friends of that departed
brother. The monument is to cost
something like $3.50 or $500 and
there is little doubt but that tn.
amount will be easily raised.-Salida

Dear Editor-For sometime I have

for what to say. Mostly We, as a
race are trOdden upon by every ma
ton on earth, IL seems TO me. We
are Industrious and have accomplish
ed something in America. We have
some wealth and property and We
justly earned il.
Now we ought TO learn to be unit
ed so We might save It. want to
speak in such a way that my people
might think and do. First, let as
give all trade that we can to our
own. Second. If we nave a mercan-
tile store opened up at our door and
next door, across the street or Mr.
and we have the same amount
let US go first to our own. Third.
We can't thrive and prosper by CIV
ing all our time and trade to a nation
who has millions, can we?
We need to teach it to our chill
dreD around our firesldes daily and
when they have become old they Will
not depart from IL. We deny our
own when we are permitted else
where and it is not gooi for US eth
er. We are making and have made
mistakes all along that line and I
would be proud to know OF a change.
We, the Afro-American men don't
care for each other as we ought
Let us move up another round. Our
daughters and our sons are best treat
ed from our own race. III we get
any at ALL We should not only care
only in trade but In social ways. If
we happen to meet our fair sex we
should tip our hats. But not So
On the other hand we meet a
white woman, we never forget to tip
our hat and say Mrs. or Miss and
then think we are right.
In the Afro-American nation we
are to get our suitor for life and We
need toe are more for them and train
them more.
