The HARDWOOD CEMETERY Asso-
CATION, CONTINUES TO BOOM,
UNDER THE MANAGEMENT OF
ITS NEW COMMISSIONERS.

Since the reorganization Of the
Parkwood Cemetery Association, it
continues to forge to the front, under
the business like management of its
new commissioners.
It will be recalled that the first at.
tempt 10 successfully launch the Park
wood Cemetery Association was made
in the latter part of 1906, but the
majority of the men connected with
the movement at that time, were IN
able to devote as much of their time
to the enterprise to make it a success
as was necessary, and in the latter
part of August 1907, new blood was
infused into it, and on January Sth,
1908, it was granted a license by the
Secretary of State of Illinois, and the
Psrkwood Cemetery Association is in
conformity to the laws of this state,
doing business under the license so
obtained.
The Parkwood Cemetery Associa-
ton, is capitalized for $4,000, shares
so each and plenty of time will be
given purchasers to pay for their
stock
Without any ifs or ans, a well con-
Quoted cemetery, by Colored business
men, would be a paying investment
For all the cemeteries in Cook Coun-
ty are making money, and the Forest
Home Cemetery Company, the Mount
Greenwood Cemetery, and several 9TH
ers have barred the Negro from being
buried within their gates. Even Oak
wood Cemetery on January 1, 1908
adopted a new scale of prices, in
which they charge $500 for graves for
white children and S12 for Colored
For white adults 20, Colored $40, and
when it is taken into consideration,
that between eight and nine thousand
people can be buried on one acre of
ground, and even a larger number
than this when they pile them on top
of each other like they do in some of
The cemeteries, there is no question
sbout profitable returns on an invest
ment of this character.
1t is far from the intention of the
promoters Of the Parkwood Cemetery
Association to establish a burying
ground, simply for Colored people,
but when they have secured suitable
plot Of ground, men and women Of all
races and nationalities can find a rest
ing place and no color line will be
drawn.

commissioners Of the Parkwood Gem
etery Association; Jacob l. Parks,

BLACK DIAMOND ON A BOOM.

Among the many enterprises launch
ed by Afro-Americans, probably the
largest and most promising is the
Black Diamond Development Co.
From its very incipiency 1t was a
large and promising undertaking, and
as 1t is even now amassing funds
with which to pay, dividends, for its
age it has distanced all of its rivals
among race concerns, but It is pre-
pairing for much greater things in its
future career.
II is now closing negotiations on a
S23, 500 deal including the pipe line
to which 1t is paying toll for convey
ing its gas to market, besides other
large concessions.
The ownership of the pipe line
alone, besides increasing the net in
come by two-fifths, puts the company
in the strongest defensive position, as
it is in danger of having its gas bot
tied up as long as its means OF con-
geyance is in the hands of others.
With the pipe line and other conces-
sions now under negotiations secured,
the stock Of the company should De
at par, and those who shall be FORUM
ate enough to secure any of the stock,
which the company is now placing on
the market to raise the means TO pay
for the pipe line, will not only find
themselves in possession of an imme-
date dividend payer. but one which
will increase from year to year as
the property is developed until they
shall in course OF two or three years
find themselves in possession Of some
of the best dividend paying stock in
the country.
