Notice to School Patrons.

Owing to some degree OF excitement
on the part of some of our patrons in
regard to contagious diseases, / adj
dress this card to the public. 1t seems
to me that we have used every possible
precaution. We have been very par
ticular. Teachers have reported to me
all children who complained OF any
illness and | have rigidly excluded
them until the cause Of their indisposi-
ton has been determined. On this
account few cases, if any, have de-
veloped in school. All the rules OF
our board in regard to these diseases
have been strictly enforced.
Most OF the cases Of scarlet fever and
diphtheria have been among children
who were too young to attend school.
My observation leads me to believe
that children are in less danger at
school than they are when wandering
around town after school hours
By the time this is read all the
school rooms will have been again
disinfected.

Dressed All in White. "

1t has been reported that Senator
Clay declared his idea OF happiness
was coming home and seeing his wife
dressed all in white waiting for him
on the front porch"
The fashion of dressing in white is 8
beautiful one and grows constantly
Time has been when white was con.
sldered suitable for infants, little girls
and maidens on festive and solemn
occasions.
Some French writer has a dear little
story, Three Times in White" that
is really pen pictures OF three events
in girls life.
Ihe first describes infinitely cheru-
bic infant in her christening robe,
when babies wore those long, long
skirts embroidered on thread cambria
and lay on a lace covered pillow.
The next was the girl in her con.
flrmation dress with chaplet of white
roses and short veil. She was then
only about twelve years old.
The last was picture of bride in
her wedding robe and veil arranged
with orange blossoms, and with a
white prayer book in her hands as she
walked into church.
The story ended as if the girl had
been white cocoon before the bridal
VOWS and would lay aside the snowy
robe to enjoy bright colors ever after
ward
1t is now not unusual for even eld-
erly ladies to wear white all the time;
even in winter they go about in white
muslin frocks and white wooden sweat
ers. 1t is a cheerful fashion and is now
often worn in widowhood and other be-
reavements, instead Of the depressing
black that casts a shadow and chilli
ness around the wearers.
1t is natural, when woman's heart
is crushed with grief, that she should
feel like shrinking into the folds of a
protecting veil, but that is the surest
way to keep sadness alive.
A line in the report of social event
in neighboring city last week, saying
Mrs. Willet, President of Georgia Fed
Grafton of Women's Clubs, was in
white olga crepe, was bit of good
news to hundreds who know her and
love her and will follow the fine ex-
ample she sets. A. L. c..

A Notable Sermon.

Last Wednesday morning at the
Methodist Church DR.. Albert Bond
preached sermon that impressed his
hearers deeply by its beautiful ideas
clothed in fitting words. Instead of
taking text from the scriptures he
talked about the significance OF the
emblems in the windows of the church
as applied to christian lives.
DR.. Bond is pastor of the First
Baptist Church and is greatly adj
mired and beloved, not only by his
own congregation, but by many Of
other churches who have known him
and listened to his sermons.

"THs NEGRO VOTE"

Now that the campaign is over we
shall doubtless hear more Of the part
our race has played in it. "The indie
pendent Political League" a real
American organization, which held a
convention at Atlantic City this sum-
mer, put in more or less work among
the negroes of various northern states
to help defeat candidates known as
Roosevelt men. Incidentally 1t in
dorsed Dix In New York, Harmon In
Ohio, and Wilson in New Jersey, and
declared war particularly on Lodge in
Massachusetts,. Whether the League
represents any considerable number
Of Negro votes is not definitely ascer
tanned as yet, but when similar or
ganizations have heretofore attempted
to speak for a race. the election re
turns have usually failed to sustain
them - unless they have adopted
solid loyalty" to the Republican
party. Things however, have changed
In this remarkable year. 1t would no,
be a bad thing for the Negro race
The Leagues particular reason for be-
ing Independent" is a very strong
one, and there are reasons enough
why no American Negro should feel
bound to any one party because OF
his race and there are special reasons
why Negroes everywhere should learn
that they are free to vote Democratic,
Socialistic or otherwise, according to
their interests and convictions.

SEGREGATION OF VICE.

The authorities are in a dilemma
over the conditions caused by the
evacuation of the Red Light district,
last April, and are about to choose
the lesser of the two necessary evils.
The birds Of passage" have flown to
the various parts of the city and have
been found nesting comfortably in
our respectable suburbs. Heretofore
there was district which was known
to be inhabited by this class. But
radical reformers and mission workers
inaugurated a crusade and scattered
this vice to all parts among all people.
Now that they have realized that
segregation of vice is necessary, and
that It is better to let birds Of a
feather flock together, for the good of
the community. They have come to
the conclusion that vice can be sup.
pressed but not eliminated.

Defeats Republican Candidate for Leg.
islature In North Dakota.
Grand Forks. N. D., Nov. 17.-North
dakota's Legislature will have q social
list member in Wesley Fasset. elected
from Rolette county over the regular
Republican nominee. John e. Brown.
Complete returns show material
gains for the Democrats in the legis-
lature. There will be eighteen Demo
cratic members all told, FIVE in the
senate and the remaining thirteen in
the house. LaMoure and Stark coul-
ties sprung the big surprises in the
legislative race. the fact that LaMoure
elected a Democratic senator and
Democratic house member, and that
Stark county sent three Democrats to
the house being decidedly out Of TIE
ordinary.
Already there are prospects Of cen
tests. In the senate there is q hkeli-
hood Of difficulty from the Third dis
trict, here M. Ruzicka was elected to
succeed J. ]. Irwin. Both are Demo
Gratis. Irwin was elected two years
ago for the four-year term. but the
past few months has not been in his
district, making his home elsewhere.
Taking advantage of this absence the
voters Of the district elected another
senator. ~
The progressives will have little tif.
ficulty in controlling the organization
Of the house and with u. L. Burdick
as lieutenant governor, will get what
they want in the upper branch.
Candidates for speaker Of the house
SO far mentioned are General q. A.
