FUNERAL OF MRS. MARTHA
7. MAYO

Funeral services over the remains
cf Mrs. Martha ]. Mayo, one of. the
most active and prominent members
Of John Wesley A. NJ. E. Zion Ch.,
were held last Sunday afternoon at
two o'clock in the church. Deceased
had been sick but a short time, and
il is said that within few hours of
her death it was not thought that
her malady would prove fatal. 1t
is also understood that the loss OF
a devoted daughter a few months
ago severely shocked her, from which
she only partially recovered
The church was filled with friends
Iof the deceased, thus showing high
respect to the dead, and genuine sym
pathy to the stricken family.
The funeral indeed was very i'm
posing one. The services began with
a professional hymn, 'Asleep in Je-
sus,' by vested choir of forty voic-
es, under the direction Of Prof. T.
N. Dickson. The pastor in charge,
Mr.. Alyne, read a short selection
from the burial service. after which
the Rev. Mr.. Wallace, of the NJ. F.
Church, delivered a fervent PRAYER.
Hymn 520, Jesus is mine" was rem
dered by the choir. Rev. Mr.. Ross,
Of the Metropolitan A. NJ. E. Church,
read a portion of the lesson from
Corinthians set apart for the burial
service of the Protestant Church.
Hymn Come, We disconsolate," was
then sung, after which a short ad-
dress was delivered by Mr.. J. R. F.
Browne. in which he spoke of the
high Christian character of the de-
ceased.
Resolutions deploring the death of
Mrs. Mayo were reported from the
Board of Deaconesses, of which
she was treasurer: NAOMI House
hold of Ruth. No. Io38;;" the "W. H.
and F. Missionary Society,"" and the
"Silver Links" all of whom attend
cd the funeral in body, and in full
regalia.
Rev. Bishop Johnson, of the Sec
ond Baptist Church, and the pastor
OF Metropolitan A. NJ. E. Church de-
delivered by Rev. Mr.. Alyne, pastor
Christian character of the deceased.
Lead, Kindly Light was thenl sung,
after which the funeral sermon was
delivered by Rev. Mr. Alyne, pastor
of the church. The corpse was re-
viewed by a large concourse of peo-
pie, during which time the choir rem
dered very feelingly the hymn "Y

mile for Michigan IN 1908.
Mr.. Myers has many friends in
Washington and is very popular, and
it may be said that Mr.. Myers is one
of the very few colored automobile
engineers in the country. He is a
young man who deserves to be en-
couraged.
The colored people in this city
don't have to depend on white people
for anything in this age, as there are
Colored persons in all branches of in
dustry, and as the branch Mr.. Myers
is engaged in will be a benefit to the
colored people. The Bee suggests that
a coupon be cut out from the adver-
tisement Of this firm and which will
entitle the holder to one free lecture.
THAT PRESS ASSOCIATION
At Louisville, KY, before, during
or after the sessions of the National
Negro Business League, it is report
ed that a National Negro Press As
SOciation was organized,with a news
paper correspondent, in the person
Of one Mr.. r. w. Thompson, as its
president.
Just what those mutton-head edi-
tors were thinking about when they
elected him The Bee is unable to ex-
plain. Not in the history of any
press organization of editors has a
correspondent been elected its presi-
dent. Mr.. Thompson owns no pa
per, and neither does he control any.
His correspondence is published,
sometimes, in different papers. He
is only given permission to use the
columns by the suffrance of the edi-
tors Now, if he had been elected
president of correspondents asso-
citation, The Bee would make no OBJ
lection.
Aside from electing Mr.. Thompson
president, over bona fde editors. Mr..
Thompson appoints men on his al
legged executive committee who are
rot even editors, nor are they con
nected directly or indirectly with any
newspaper.
The Bee will support a press as
sociation OF legitimate editors, but
It takes no stock in tissue-paper press
associations. presided over by jour
nalistic apologists.
The Washington bee., 1909-09-18

If the Negro editors of the coun-
try want a national press association,
let them organize one of editors; and
only TO this doctrine will The Bee
subscribe.
