THE WORLD is GROWING BETTER

THE WORLD is GROWING BETTER
The world Is growing better, though
some sinner here and there
Contrives to be successful and has
snowy clothes to wear;
Each day the world grows brighter,
And with drawer steps and lighter,
Day by day, we keep advancing with
new blessing and less care.
The world is growing fairer, though
the pessimists complain,
Though the rich are growing richer
and the dogs of war remain;
Though the wicked keep us guess
Ing
We keep steadily progressing,
Day by day the world grows richer
with more pleasure and less
pain.
The world is growing srander as the
seasons roll away,
Though there still are, wicked people
who are grabbing all they may,
Though the foolish blrndly blunder
And the worthy often wonder
How to keep away starvation with
their very meager pay.
The world is growing better; It will
reach perfection yet,
Though the strong impose conditions
that still cause the weak to
fret;
The future opens clearer,
And the goal is looming nearer
Il got check this morning that I'd
ceased to hope to get

At the Gennctt.

No more fertile subject of comedy
has ever been afforded the American
author and playwright than that fur
nished by the Afro-American. Black
faced comedy is put on the country
over by men and women of more or
less ability in this line and when ably
presented never fails to make hit.
On August Gath, the patrons Of the
Gennett will be given an opportunity
to see the comedy of the Afro-Ameri-
can nature, together with something
of it's more serious side, portrayed by
members Of this race. The play is
entitled I'm the Jungles" and has for
its leading lady Madame Sissieretta
Jones, the original Black Patti. Mad.
anne Jones is supported by the strong
est aggregation of colored talent ever
gotten together. Happy" julius
Glenn, the Wangdoodle comedian, con-
sidered to be the funniest colored man
on the American stage today, fills the
role of comedian. Others in the cast
are, w. A. Cooke, Al. F. Watts, Will
Greer, John Grant, Marie Gree, Jean
nette Murphy, Tillie Sequin and a
chorus of dark-skinned beauties such
as were never seen here before.

tons of Cardinal Rampolla, his init
mate acquaintance with Spanish and
English affairs, and his abilities to
cope with political statesmen are well
known. Also he is quite as famous for
his learning as for his ability. He has
written the best works extant upon
the traditions of the Greek church,
and upon the infallibility of the Pope,
and he is author of a notable volume
on the historical accuracy of the story
of the Maccabees
Another advantage possessed by the
Cardinal as a candidate for the chair
of st. Peter is his patrician ancestry,
for 1t Is tradition of the Church that
the Pope should be a man of patrician
birth.
Rampolla's views are quite as liber-
al as those of any of the hierarchy
and he has often expressed warm ad-
miration for Cardinal Gibbons, Arch
bishop Ireland and other members of
the liberal party of the Catholic church
in America.

Preparations All Made.
Heretofore the picnic, each summer,
has been held about mile north OF

then take as much interest in the
event as this year.
This year much expense has been
gone to in decorating the houses and
the erection of hitching racks along
some of the side streets where hun.

The townspeople are pleased with this
opportunity to show the improvements
made in this pretty and historic little
