CAMPBELL CHAPEL, A. M. E.
CHURCH.
Corner Twenty-third and Lawrence
Streets. Rev. n. Franklin Bray,
D. D., Pastor.

Good congregations greeted the pas
tor at each service last Sabbath and
the offerings were such as would make
any earnest pastors heart glad. Rev.
j. H. Brown of Ogden, Utah, preached
to the enlightenment and edif1cation
of a large congregation in the evening,
after which the members gave him a
nice financial lift on his way to con-
ference.
Father Bray of the Indiana confer
ence will be in charge until the arrival
of the pastor from conference.
Sister Taylor is able to be at her
work again after painful and dan
gerous fall from a street car
The farewell reception on Monday
evening, in which every department
of the church took part, was such as
has seldom been seen in Campbell.
There was spirit of good fellowship
and love running through it all as
would send any preacher to his con
ference with rejoicing. The pastor
paid high tribute to the faithfulness
of the officers and members and re-
ported that $3,096.S0 had been collect
ed during the year. The church is
left with the floating debts met and
the insurance and interest on the
mortgage paid. Some of the debts
paid ran back as far as six years.
Tuesday morning at $50 the pastor,
accompanied by several of his col
leagues, boarded the Santa Fe flyer
for Albuquerque, the seat of the an
nual conference, with Success" in
large letters perched upon his banner
The members and friends are invit
ed to hear Father Bray tomorrow and
enjoy the good singing Of the choir.
Let everybody be found at their post
during the sitting of the conference.

BELIEVES IN RACE UPLIFT.

or, Tax Collector and Politician.
New Orleans, La.-Entering life just
ut the close of the war and using as his
guide industry. honesty. thrift and re-
liability, A. 0. Smith has pushed his
way to the front and now ranks as one
of the foremost and best known men
Of the race in this section of the coun-
try. He is directly connected with
many enterprises for the development
and uplift of the race.
Mr.. Smith was born in the hills of
Kentucky fifty years ago, his mother
being left widow with seven children
to develop into manhood and woman
hood, he being the youngest. AS soon
as he was old enough he was placed In
school, where he made rapid progress
in his studies. Just how much time
was spent in school is not known.
Teaching school was to him a high
position, yet he decided that he wanted
to be of more service to his people:
hence he found his way into Iowa and
soon became well known. He took
part in politics, believing that 1t was
the avenue through which to help his
people. Step by step he advanced and
was recognized for his worth. During
the deadlock in the legislature of 1888
he was chief doorkeeper. and SO well
did he discharge his duty that at the
close he was rewarded by the body
and holds today many testimonials
from the men who made up the legis-
lature.
In Des Moines, Ia, he was recog.
nized for service rendered and made
assistant tax collector. which was up

The thinking man or woman naturally

The Neal way does it by removing the
cause of this craving or so-called tppe-

IS caused by the alcoholic poison in the
