A POEM.

(By Mrs. Lille l.. H. Smith, Dedi-
Gated to the Hon. w. T. Vernon.)
Welcome, thou illustrious one
To our city, homes and hearts,
Upon whose noble, manly brow
Fame's golden beams athwart,
Plowman in fields of intellect,
Whose worthy work will stand
A monument unto thy name,
And thy prolific hand.
There burns not in negros breast
More love for his struggling race
Than revealed in thy gifted eloquence
Or portrayed in thy works and
ways.
Thou hast shown in thy career
With a determined mind
The humblest who pe2severes,
Success will surely find.
Again thoust proven that ebon hue
Nor texture of the hair
Cannot lofty soul subdue
If virtue dwelleth there.
Lo! from an humble cabin home
To teacher, preacher, scholar,
And now we find thy signature
Stamped on the mighty dollar.
The path has not all roses been,
Some hidden thorns have hedged
the way,
But Him, whose love thou dost pro-
claim,
Has guided thee lest thou should
stray.
Go on thou modern Hercules,
Franklin's paper the statesman., 1908-01-31

Strong in thy pure and lofty aim,
Among the great men of our race
Shall stand thine honored name.
Press on till the race is sifted,
Through an intellectual sieve
And joined to ranks of noble lives,
Till victory is well achieved,
For We are fully able
With Caleb men like thee,
Going up to possess the land of
Right and liberty.
May He who guides the nation
course
In spite Of ethnic snarl,
Keep thee a leader of the host
Whatever may befall,
And grant thee years of usefulness
In overthrowing baneful vice,
TIL the younger generations
Catch the zeal of thy noble life.

skill. After the dinner service, which
was faultless in the hands of Miss

tion drew the hour out till midnight
before the party broke up. The Reg
lister went over many things vital to
the negro race as a whole and the
Western negro especially and the

of honor was fittingly ushered in upon
his three days triumph.
Sunday morning Shorter church was
packed to the doors with persons
eager to hear the man of God speak
His word. DR.. Vernon was at his best
and spoke on "The Two-Talent Man"
He outlined what the man of small or
average attainments could do in life
and the extra burden that lay upon
him to apply effort and brains that
he might safely pass the crux of his
existence and line up with the work
ers for social ard moral uplift.
Mrs. Ida DePriest entertained in
his honor Sunday afternoon at din
ner. Her guests were J. w. Jackson,
j. R. Jackson, Thos. Campbell, Geo.

DR.. Vernon and Mr.. DePriest. The
feast was too good for the time was
short before the visitor must appear

at his coming four years ago before
such signal honor came to him, Dr.
Vernon VS. the more grateful for this
evidence of the continuation of her
esteem. At the Alliance the acting
president, j. NJ. Mason, called upon
Lawyer 81 art to introduce the Wis
itor, after which he responded with
words OF wisdom and advice upon our
relations as a race, one to another.
Frequent applaus interrupted his
