Town Adds Telephone Service, oper-
ated by Mrs. M. S. Jordan.
Mound Bayou. Miss.--Most readers of
current literature are moe or less ac-
quainted with the principal facts in
connection with the founding. growth
and prosperity of Mound Bayou. Miss.
1t was founded many years ago by
Isaiah T. Montgomery, under whose
wise leadership it came to be known
as the only town inhabited and gov
erned solely by colored people in the
municipal officials are Afro Americans.
Its bank, schools and churches are
splendidly equipped. and more thrifty
or intelligent community is not to be
found anywhere in the state.
Recently the Bell Telephone COM
pany installed complete telephone
outfit in the town and put in charge
Of the service as manager a colored
man and as operator Mrs. Minnie S.
Jordan, capable woman Of our race
who has held several responsible posi-
tions as an educator and general busi-
ness promoter Mrs. Jordan's parents
Washington. Mr. Washington was a
leader of his people and held many re-
sponsible government positions. At the
time of his death he held the post of
internal revenue collector.
Mrs. Jordan's parents died vines she
was but a child. but had the good for
tune Of having grandparents who took
the very best care of her and directed
her life along right lines. She also had
as guardian the Hon. N. Fl. Alexander,
who was the receiver of public moneys
in Montgomery, Ala. Thus Mrs Jor
dan was the beneficiary of the best
moral and literary training. She is a
graduate of Tuskegee institute and has
also taken special literary studies in
other reputable schools
She has held responsible positions in
schools in many sections of the south,
such as Montgomery. Ala. and Pensa-
cola, Fla where she was teacher in
the normal school. having charge OF
the kindergarten department. Mrs
Jordan is a native of Montgomery and
is well and favorably known in the
business and educational circles of that
section of the south
She was for several years principal
of the Mound Bayou Normal and In
dustrial institute and enjoys now the
unique distinction of being the only
colored woman telephone operator in
the south She is filling the station
with credit to herself and satisfaction
to her employers
The whole community seems to have
taken on new life since the new serv-
ice has been in operation.

Baltimore Preparing For Important
Event to Be Held In February.
As the time approaches for the semi
annual meeting Of the bishops coun-
ell of the African Methodist Episcopal
church interest in the many important
matters which the council is to con-
slider becomes more pronounced. The

of the denomination and large num-
Der of clergymen and prominent lay
men from most all sections will be in
attendance. The opening session OF
the council will be held on Thursday,
Feb. 10. instead of week earlier. as
formerly announced.
Arrangements are being made for the
holding of a large banquet in honor OF
the bishops and visitors on the evening
Of the opening day. Members Of the
denomination in Baltimore without re-
gard to the church in which they have
their membership will cooperate with
DR.. Hill and the members of Bethel In
making the banquet one of the most
notable of its kind ever given at
semiannual meeting of churchmen.
Baltimore is noted for the hospitality
of it's people in religious and social af-
fairs. and those who are fortunate
enough to attend the sessions of the
council and be present at the banquet
will have the opportunity of verifying
the truthfulness of this statement.
With the general conference only
little more than three months off all
departments of the churches of the de-
nomination will be busy from now I'M
til the convening of the general confer
ence in May.

The former bill waa vetoed on this
grounds that the tarin board had not

I.aFollette bill follows the conclusions
OF the board quite closely.
The ESSENTIAL points of the I.aFol-
lette bill and the house bill are.
Raw woOl--IaFoilette bill, 10 To
sS per cent; house bill, 20 per cent.
Wool wastes and ragH--I.a Fol-
