News of Arlington, Va.

That every man is in a large meas
ure the architect of his own future
is shown by the way in which Mr..
Geo. w. Johnson of Arlington, Va,
is succeeding in acquiring wealth
and influence in the community.
Fourteen years ago Mr.. Johnson
left Texas TO accept a Government
position in Washington. After re-
siding in the city for four years he
decided to move to the country,
where he could have more freedom
to exercise his executive abilities,
which he possesses to a marked de-
gree. To do this he moved to Green
Valley. There he was able to pur-
chase small dilapidated two-room
dwelling which was altogether COM
mensurate with his purse. Since
that time his stay has been a contin-
Gus story of achievement, accession
of property, popularity and influ-
ence in the community. He now
owns number of houses, from
which he draws handsome sum of
money every month as rent, besides
being joint owner of large SUBJ
division known as the Johnson and
Thompson subdivision.
Perhaps the most conspicuous en-
terprise in this section of the county
is that of the Green Valley Poultry
Farm. This is an enterprise
launched by several farsighted and
business young men of

citizens Of this community that the
removal Of Mr.. Bruce would make
the situation better. He is able, con-
scientious and painstaking, and
should be Supported, instead of be-
ing made the victim of abuse and
Misrepresentation. The, fight
against MIR. Bruce is purely personal
and malicious, and those who are
fostering this campaign are trying
to grind an axe at the expense Of the
peace and well-being of the con-
structive workers of the community.
The change of teachers at Dean
wood, which is made the excuse for
the present situation, is endorsed by
both the Board of Education and the
citizens of Deanwood themselves,
and it is understood that Miss Kin
ner herself repudiates the movement
alleged to have been inaugurated in
her behalf. The whole thing is a
tempest in teapot" and from now
on these so-called "mass-meetings"
will be given the cold shoulder by
the people who are honestly inter-
ested in the proper development of
our educational system. The True
Reformers' Hall meeting was de-
servedly a failure.

Washington, in the persons of
Messrs. Drew, Duiguid & Bro.
Since its inception a few months
ago this company has by a we'll
organized system of work and close
adherence to strictly. business prin-
ciples been enabled to turn out many
of the finest chickens on the market,
ranging in prices from SIS to $50.
Mr.. Drew, the manager, in discuss
ing the future plans and policies of
the company, says that soon the place
will be equipped with offices, incu-
bators of various makes and facili-
ties for doing a business that will
compare with any in the State of its
kind.
Green Valley is graced by two
beautiful churches, one large two
story brick school building with a
large enrolment. Rev. w. l.. Cla-
ton, pastor of Lomax A. M. E.
Chapel, is doing much to make this
an ideal community.
Rev. Claton is a man of broad ex-
perience and great intellectual at
tainments, being one of the first II
students to matriculate in Hampton
Institute. Since that he has taken a
course in theology at Roger Insti-
tute, Providence, r. l., from which
institution he received the degree Of
BID. Rev. Claton has held the pas
torate of 10 churches, been twice
presiding elder, but at no place has
he been able to accomplish so much
in so short a time. He was given
this charge about four months ago.
Since then, with the assistance of a
faithful corps of officers and mem
bers, he has been able to raise $1Ioo,
thoroughly renovate the church and
practically extinguish the debt.
Green Valley is exclusively a col
ored community, all the land for
miles around being owned by colored

Stetson's spectacular production

Cabin" has been drawing immense
crowds all the week at the New
Howard. Manager Washburn has
gotten together splendid company,

fitting the seriousness of its theme,
and is frightening up the perform
ance by some up-to-date vaudeville
features that are entertaining to the
last degree. There are r6 colored
employees with the show, headed by
Fred Bennett, who enacts the role of
"Uncle Tom" with conscientious
care. The Mason Trio are promi-
nent in the cast. Hundreds attended
the performances in memory of the
good old times when they were boys
and girls and witnessed this play as
their first experience on the inside
of theater, and many others saw
it this week for the first time in their
lives. The engagement is proving

The Howard Stock Company is
getting into working shape, and J.
Laurie Hill, the producing manager,
is elated over the vim and enthus-
iasm his people are showing. The
initial production is to be called "My
Friend From Dixie" and the grand
opening has been definitely set for
the 24th of this month. William
Brown, formerly of Brown and
Gaines, is the Straight man" of the
piece, and the principal comedy role
will fall to r. Shelton, who, though
new to Washington, is said to be the
"real candy kid" in the art of fun
making. Miss Leona Marshall, the
graceful and winsome "Minnehaha"
of "The Red Moon" company, is the
leading lady, and her host of friends
here will be out in force to give her
big "hand." Miss Mayme Butler,
a contralto of note, has a part in
which she will appear to excellent
advantage. Manager w. Fl. Smith
says he intends to spare no pains to
give the people of this city just what
they want, and all he asks is that they
turn out and sustain him in his ef-
fort to solve the amusement problem
in this prejudice-ridden town, and to
justify the Howard promoters, who
have had sufficient faith in the Ne
gro's sense of appreciation of a
golden opportunity to invest $780,
900 in cold cash in the prettiest play
house open to colored people in this
country. To patronize such an en-
terpl.Se should not only be regarded
as a pleasure, but as a bounden duty.
