south to conserve movements for the
good of humanity, and the better ele-

quite conspicuous in giving impetus to
commendable activities. A notable
work that is an essential factor in al
leviating the suffering OF the lowly
element of both races in this city is
the Red Cross society. This organiza-
ton is encouraged by the progressive
Afro-Americans. Foremost among
them is quiet, unassuming, but pro-

Boost Home Enterprise.

That is what every citizen of
Monroe City owes to himself, to his
town. Always patronize a home
institution in preference to a big
concern in some other town. That
is the only way we can expect to be
a prosperous community. Keep
our money at home by patronizing
home enterprises. If we stand to-
gether business will be better for
all of us but when a large or small
per cent of the people patronize a
foreign institution in preference to
the home institution we do not
prosper as we should. Then let us
all resolve to get into the right line
by patronizing home institutions

or place of business, let that phone
