Negroes have accorded gratifying
welcome by taking out many policies,
both of the old line and industrial
class. .-...
The Central Regalia Company of
Cincinnati, Ohio, of which Joseph L.
Jones is president and manager, has
recently been making some extensive
improvements in it's plant, adding new
machinery, etc. This company makes
and furnishes everything in the re-
gala line, rituals, record books, seals,
and other stationery used by any and
all Negro fraternities. All the en-
ployees of the company, from the
president down to the janitor, are
Negroes. The last report shows the
company to be in splendid condi-
ton, and doing large business with
Negro lodges of every fraternity.
Columbus, Ohio, has new, and its
only Negro newspaper, The Column
bus Independent, edited by Floyd J.
Snelson. A new newspaper and the
only one in the city, has also been
started at St. Joseph, Mo-, Mrs. Ida
Walker being the editor and proprie-
tor. Both of these recent corners into
the Negro newspaper field are bright,
newsy papers, and greatly needed in

met in annual session recently and
listened to a very interesting and en-

per cent was paid to stockholders of
record and a good balance placed to
the sinking fund. This company man
ufactures a line of remedies for the

in every part of this country.
The receipts of the Post Office at
Mound Bayou, Miss, over which a
colored woman presides as postmis-
tress, and which town is an exclusive
Negro town, indicates the progress
of the town. From March, 1912, to
March, 1913, the receipts were as fol-
lows: Money orders issued, $67,77622;
Fees $s3o.4o; On Postal Account, S.
6o7.44; Sale of Stamps, $3,337.5I; From
Newspapers, a4I.S8; Box Rents,
$227. 50. In the Postal Savings De-
partment certificates to that amount
of $343 were issued. The Postoffice
receipts of the city or town indicates
how live it is. This being accepted
as a criterion, the Negro town of
Mound Bayou is very much alive.
As indicating that the Negroes of
Washington, D. c., are awaking to
the necessity of establishing business
enterprises, and patronizing race es-
Establishments, it is estimated that in
the last two years $4,000 have been
invested in business establishments in
U Street alone, from 9th to I4th

shops, drug stores, barber shops,
cleaning and dyeing, haberdashery,
picture framing, shoe store, jewelry
store, millinery store, cigar stand and
Photographic establishments are some
of the Negro enterprises which now
line U Street. The Industrial Saw
