MCKENZIE NOTES.

Dr. Rainey is kept very busy as
quite number are sick. Mrs. Hur-
lie Nolen is quite sick. Miss Maud
Barker is convalescent. We are glad
to see Mrs. Charity Rogers and her
son, Robert, up again. Mrs. Susan
Bunton is indisposed this week. Mr..
Oscar Vincent, Of st. Louis, was
called to see his sister, Mrs. Emma
Coady, who has been quite sick. Mrs.
Lucy Manley is visiting her father
this week at Huntingdon. Mrs. Ann
Bibbs has pneumonia. We were en-
tertained very highly Monday and
Tuesday nights at the colored hall by
"The Anderson Theatre Family"
They were given full house both
nights. Messrs. Williams and Nc
Corcle are having great success in
their Bible class among the colored
people. Their teachings have been
wholesome, interesting and strictly
Biblical. Those who attend the class
are delighted and highly appreciate
the effort that these white gentlemen
are making to help lift us, and by so
doing enable us to live better Chris
tians and better citizens. We get
from them what we have not been able
to get from our pastors, as these gen.
tlemen are profound men and well
able to instruct. Sorry they were
made to feel unpleasant in the Bap-
tist church by the pastor and his
deacons and a few members. We ex-
tend to the pastor and his officers a
special invitation to be with us in
our class and we assure them that
they will be better men and will
know how to treat their Christian
brethren, whether white or black
Methodist or Baptist 1t is not the
Office we hold in this world that
makes us great, but it's the man or
woman who has the pure heart. The
Methodists opened their doors and
have given us a hearty welcome. We
had glorious meeting Sunday eve
ming and much good was done. Rev.
Partee, the pastor of the G. M. E.
Church, will preach at IL a. m. Sun
day. He wants every member to be
present Members of other churches
are always welcome.

to Be Published In This City.
1t has been rumored for several
days that business journal managed
by Negroes would be published in
Nashville in the near future, but not
until recently could the rumor be
verified.
For several years the people of
this country have felt the meet. of a
medium of this kind, by which they
might be able to keep in close touch
with the industrial, financial and gen.
eral business interest of the colored
people of this country, and it is antici.
pated that this magazine will bring
about great results in this respect.
The name of the magazine will be the
Negro Merchant and Mechanic, and
the following course has been out
lined: First, to show to the outside
world the progress that has already
been made by our people; second, to
stimu' ate more interest in and to
encourage and promote all worthy
business enterprises; third, to show
the possibilities of people if prop
erly trained.
The progress made by the race
in the past few years has been Won
derful, yet there is an ever-increasing
demand for better trained business
men and more skilled mechanics,
which this paper will endeavor to
point out. From the personnel of
the men behind tho project and from
the course as outlined, success will
inevitably follow. 1t was learned by
a Globe reporter that offices for the
management have already been Sc
cured and are now being equipped
with the most modern Office conven-
fences, and that the initial edition
viii appear on or about the first of
March.

The Snail Supper.

The good ladies of our village
recently pulled off a snail supper
oh, excuse me, an oyster sup
per-for the benefit of the church.
About a dozen of them spent two
weeks getting it up. and the re
ceipts amounted to about $40. If
they had all shouldered a grub
bing hoe and a case knife and
spent that much time skinning
s~assafras bark they would have
made a heap more. money, and It
would have been more credit to
the church. But then they could
not have worn their best rags and
tee-hee'd with the village dudes,
you know.
It's a puzzle to me why church
people will resort to such devi1ish
devices to raise money for the
church. And why in the thunder
is it that people who have money
to give to church work can't give
it direct, just as well as to beat
around the bush and poke it in
under the back door? A mind
reader who could look into such
peoples hearts would read some
thing like this:

A sERMON ON SINGING.

There is a certain kind Of un-
earthly screening that they call
fashionable singing" Ever
hear anysof it? IF not, you've
missed a treat. Just go into most
any city church on Sunday morn
ing and they'll give you a sample
of It, Here's how you will know
when it's a-coming: You'll see
somebody go to the piano or pipe
organ and begin to claw over the
keys like puppy digging for a
|ground-mouse. Then you'll see a
young lady march out onto the
stage with her arms full Of sheet
music and her face set like the
Itime-lock on a national bank
vault. She stops and gazes over
the audience as solemnly as a
convict in the electric chair.
Then she unfolds her music and
begins to pucker her mouth till
it looks like the blossom end of a
swivelled cucumber. Everybody
holds their breath. Something
lawful is about to happen.
Suddenly the young lady's
mouth opens like the nose end Of
a tobacco sack, and you hear a
noise. that sounds like pulling a
yard Of Bologna sausage through
a tin horn. Her eyes seem to
bore through the ceiling like two
left-handed gimlets and her
throat works like a frog swallow
ing a June-bug. Her voice seems
to have been made in joints and
put together with brass rings,
and it rattles against her Adams
apple like dragging a log-chain
over a bridge.
The audience leans forward
and drinks it in like a young cat
bird eating a worm. Of course
nobody understands a word of
the song, and If they did the
Isong would be a failure. It would
not be fashionable singing"
The only thing required Of you
is to sit there Ike a chicken with
the .gapes and drink it in. Let it
run in at both ears and ooze out
through the pores of your soul.
The singer stops to get her
breath and to wait for the audi
ence to catch up. The organist
hits the instrument in the face a
few times like a niger woman
a-beating out peas, and then they
sail in again. Lickity-split they
go, up and down the scale, like
1.-TWO hound dogs after q rabbit,
and all the while the expression
lon the singers face looks like a
mixture Of crarnp colo, death
agony, a toothache and a sneeze.
Once in awhile the jointed mel
ody comes in suchvolumes that
it almost jars the shingles loose,
and then it fades away till it
sounds like where the little end
of a cat-fght tapers off to moth

A HEROIC YOUTH.
Concordia Boys Efforts in Icy Water
Prove Vain.

Concordia. Kan, Feb. With a
rope tied about his body Stanley Mus
ser, the 15-year-old son of Amos Mus
ser, until recently of Concordia, but
now living at Arvada, Colo, was low
cred through a hole in the ice of a
reservoir and CROPPED about in the
frigid water until he found the body
of the 15-months-old child of D. H.
Ellis. who had fallen into the opening
and was drowned.
The accident and the heroic effort
at rescue took place on the Ellis farm,
three miles west of Arvada. The
reservoir is a small one in the yard
of the homestead and is to supply
water for domestic purposes 1t is
not fitted with a pump, but the water
is drawn through a hole in the ice
with buckets.
The little one had been playing in
the yard, wandered too near the hole,
which had been left open, and fell in
The child was first missed by Mrs. Ell
lis, who had been looking from the
window from time to time to see that
the little one did not wander too far
from the house.
Thinking the baby had walked only
beyond her line of vision, Mrs. Ellis
went into the yard The open hole
and the fact that the child was not to
be seen alarmed her. and her frantic
calls brought the other members of
the household into the yard and
young Musser from his home on the
adjoining farm.
The reservoir is about ten feet in
diameter and three feet deep. The hole
through which the child had fallen
was less than two feet in diameter.
Into this hole young Musser plunged
with a rope about his body. Held by
Ellis, on his hands and knees on the
ice, the lad searched the black waters
for the body of the child
