An AIbino Crow

Edgar Wilks, shot an albino
crow while hunting for ducks
Tuesday and brought it to town,
sending it Thursday to the
University of Missouri at Colum-
bia. The crow was associating
with four other crows, the others
black. Wilks had seen the white
crow several times in the last
two weeks and when it arose
from the Wabash tracks Wed
nesday, shot it. The crow is
regularly formed, with feathers
white to the tips, the tips Of the
feathers being a light brown
color, when its feathers were
ruffed, when flying, it appeared
pure white. Wilks killed a
similar bird two years ago.

Stay on the Farm

Ed Hill of Stotts City, Mo. a
farmer with 5000 acres of land
and a fine farming business
who is president of a bank of
diversion, says he started at S1S
per month as a farm hand and
made good. One remark of his
that ought to be read by every
young farm lad in the country
and older ones, too, is Il am
glad l had to begin on a farm.
That is a good place for a young
man to start. Many boys who
are leaving farms now, would
make a. better life record were
they to remain right on the
farm, as the opportunities to
make good there are even better
now than when l began.

Caught a Fox

Finally, after many long,
musical and arduous chases,
James Wayland. Luther Wright
ct al. caught a fox. 1t happen
ed Saturday night and the bay
ing of the hounds could be heard
for hours in this city. as they
chased reynard up the hollow
and over the hill right into town
and then out again. They had
the fox up in the town for a
while and the hounds surprised
pedestrians by following the
trail right trough the streets and
peoples yards. The crying of
the hounds denoted a hot trail
and finally the animal was run
down and caught on the the Ar
ring farm south of town. The
trail was first taken near the
Wabash depot. The fox is
thought to be one that has fur
nished the inspiration for many
chases id the past and the ad-
mirers of the hunt are wonder
ing if this death ends the chase.

Valuable Animals

The Canadian authorities
show that there are 13 in
corporated companies raising
black foxes for market and
that the 13 have averaged
over 100 per cent. profit in the
past year. There are 642 old
silver black foxes each worth
81, 500 and 683 young foxes each
worth $4,000 and Ills foxes of
each other grades worth a paltry
$1,000 each Approximately
1900 silver black foxes represent
a worth of $1,000, 900. These
figures look like a rather costly
comment on the foolish extrava-
gance of fashionable womankind
and their abettors, money
ridden men.

STATE COLORED SUNDAY
SCHOOL CONVENTION

The Friday night session OF the
state colored Sunday School Conven-
ton was opened to packed house,
and interest was still at high pitch.
DR.. s. R. Prince, president of the con-
vention, raped the vast audience to
order. The choir sang one of its
choicest selections which made the
welkin ring with sonorous strains.
DR.: N. H. Pirus of Nashville, Tenn,
was called to the rostrum and made
his final address to the convention.
He spoke very highly of the conven-
ton, complimenting the work which
had been done at this sitting and de-
claring by the nine gods of Rome that
we had the best convention of ne
groes in the Union. Our hearts burn
ed with zeal as he spoke to us. 1t was
the unanimous consent of the dele
gates that he come to us next year
at Houston. He especially stressed
the big-heartedness of our president,
declaring that he is to this gigantic
convention what Perides was TO
Greece, and we should cast him some
flowers while he lives.
Mr.. H. o. Boatwright, president of
the First National Bank of Bryan, was
present and was then introduced by
Rev. M. NJ Haynes Of Austin. Mr..
Boatwright spoke very encouragingly
of our progress since slavery and how
much he had contributed to help
many negroes set homes, and taught
them the great lesson of saving and
morality. He also commented on sew
eral scriptures of the New Testament,
throwing the X-Ray lenses on the
writings of Paul and other stalwarts
of the New Testament. At the end
of his talk We could not help but ac-
knowledge that he was able preach
err as he was a banker.
The time being far spent, DR.. Bay
cote of Waco did not preach the con-
vention sermon, as programmed. We
regretted that we could not hear him
because he is one of the ablest di-
vines of color in the state.
DR.. w. H. Crawford of Austin was
introduced and emphasized the Boys
Cadet movement as. remedy for get
ting and holding boys in the Sunday
schools This was a physical evidence
that the forward idea in the mind OF
our great president had materialized
that is, that the convention is a
school of method.
DR.. Prince conducted the Bible les
son and many salient points were
stressed.
The departmental work was then
taken up by Prof S. ]. Sutton of San
Antonio, who discussed Lesson Plan
