THE ZION FAIR AND FESTIVAL,

The Zion Fair and Festival which
has been in progress during the pres
ent week has had many features. But
before we mention these special feat
ures we would mention the handicap
under which the effort was made. we
refer to the absence of the pastor
from the church on account OF Ill
health which was felt by all keenly.
But Notwithstanding the want OF MS
much needed oversight and encour-
agement such as an able leader can
give. the fair cannot be denominated
as failure.
There was more sought for in the
effort than financial results and the
sentiment is well expressed in
prominent member of the church who
looking over a well-filled church OF
cheerful and smiling faces, remarked
that he would consider the movement
success had nothing other than SO.
cial contact and good Fellowship OF
the members and friends been
brought about.
But evidence is available to show
that more was accomplished. At the
time of going to press the receipts
and expenditures are not in, conse-
uuently an accurate estimate cannot
be given of net results. But we are
of the opinion that the results will be
creditable and will be reported at an
other time. But we started out TO
mention the features. And let us re-
peat for emphasis the good cheer ana
friendly feeling. Then the programs
we're short and spicy not long drawn
out and tiresome. The boothes were
well arranged, beautifully decorated
and fairly well filled. Those deserv-
ing special mention are the GYPSY
tent in which fortunes were as ac-
eurately told for five cents as they
are by others for so cents or more
The Election booth created unusuai
excitement and friendly competition.
At this writing the count is not
completed but we are safe in saying
that whoever is elected as the most
popular Negro musician in Denver
will deserve the honor, for the indi-
cations point to neck and neck nm
ish. Beautifully scribed certificates
await the successful candidates.
One of the most mirth provoking
features of the whole scheme of fun
and fellowship was the Kangaroo
Court. With the active chief of police
and watchful assistants, one dared not
refuse contribution to solicitors or
drink soda pop without standing in
danger of being hauled De1ore tne
grave judges whose motto seemed to
be Let no one escape guilty or not
guilty"
But time would fail us TO attempt
to mention the details of the S. S. reci-
tation contest, the musical medley,
the funny country maids and lasses,
the sketch and comic features by
Messrs Harris-Rhodes & Co, the eli
max and closing evening with the lit
the folks; and those good, good chicken
suppers. And so we close with say
ing all hail to the willing hands and
active workers who helped to make
the fair success and thanks to the
many friends of Zion whose presence
was a substantial evidence of their
genuine interest.
Next week we hope to give finan-
cial statement.

TO THE STOCKHOLDERS OF HE
NEGRO TOWNSHIP AND LAND
COMPANY:

A splendid foundation has been laid
by the Negro Townsite and Land Com
pany, for the building up of the many
business enterprises which its incor-
poration covers.
1t is quite necessary that each stock
holder should be represented in per
son, or by proxy, at the annual meet
ing, June 7th, 1910, to elect nine di'
rectorc, from the sixty stockholders, to
manage the affairs of the Company
for the next year. Whether you have
paid all of your subscriptions or not
YOU have a vote for each share that
you have contracted for. The present
directors cannot agree on any line OF
action to apply the money already
paid in to any feature of the incorpor'
alton. 1t is up to the stockholders to
elect a board of nine directors that
will get together and cary out the op-
iect and purposes which the stock
holders have paid in their money for.
Each stockholder has a right to exam.
inc the books of the Company and If
they cannot do it themselves, they
can appoint a representative, and II
there is any irregularity or graft, or
false intentions on the part OF the dl-
rectors. the laws of Colorado fix pen
atty for each officer. of the entire
board. After the election, June 7tn,
if no one else demands a sworn state
ment of the officers, I will, as 1 de-
sire that each stockholder shall know
under oath just how the affairs of the
Company have been handled during
INV administration. Many times stock
holders in companies get to following
"stop thief" and they find that the
thief is in the chase. If stockholders
would take a little time to read the
incorporation laws of Colorado, they
would find them very simple and in
the interest of the stockholders. The
directors are only the servants of the
stockholders and the stockholders can
dictate the management of the Compa-
