Next to mount the Steed was Eng,

There was Chaucer-Spencer, but Mil

Who made up the Great Triumvirate

Discarding paganic wings, ascending

But thou, impossible one, alone in

Stand unrivalled, we never hope to

King of drama, oh, Shakespeare. is

Thy art was great, and so is thy

Your song was one sweet glorious

Perfect in art. you could perfectly

HORSE AND MULE CULTURE.

Tuskegee Institute, Ala,-Time was
when 1t was said that every Colored
man could train horse and charm a
mule; but the demand for good horses
and better mules throughout the coun-
try has created a demand for a scien-
tific and not a general knowledge of
livestock. The advent Of the horse
less vehicle instead of decreasing the
demand for horses and mules, has in
creased the demand, and, the supply
seems unable to Keep up, All this is
explained in the widening of farm in
terests in every section of the coun-
try, particular in the South.
The mule markets of Missouri re-
port that there was never more than
now bigger call on them for good an
imals, and the horse markets in both
the East and West are searching ev-
cry section for good horses. The big
trading stalls in Memphis in their
last bulletin report that prices for
good mules and horses are 20 per cent
higher than last year. and that we'll
bred animals find an easier market
than at any time since 1892. Instead
OF going down 1t is reported that the
calling price of mules and horses has
steadily gone up since the automobile
industry began.
Tuskegee Institute has long recog-
nized this increasing demand for good
animals and has sought to raise its
Department OF Mule and Horse Breed
ing and the care Of such animals, to
the highest state of efficiency. This
division Of the, schools Agricultural
Department has corps of competent
instructors who know how TO breed
and care for such animals to matur-
ity. There are in the department at
present $50 head OF horses and mules

DEATH OF MR.. ALBERT C. PENN.

1t is with deep regret we chronicle
the death of Mr.. Albert C. Penn. The
sad event occurred at $3.50 o'clock on
the morning of Friday, July 8, at his
late residence, 101 Franklin avenue,
this city. Mr.. Penn was born at Buff
falo, Dallas Co., Mo-, March Is, 1881;
married Miss Lossie Pension, De-
cember 8. 1910, and died July 8, 1914,
aged 80 years.
The funeral was held at st. Johns
A. M. e. Church, Eighth and Nebras-
ka, where a most impressive sermon
was preached by the Rev. ]. R. Ran
som, D. D., pastor, assisted by the
prayer, and the Rev. f. A. Browne,
pastor of the Episcopal Church of the
Ascension, who read the Scripture
lesson. A special feature of the occa'
sion was the singing of the solo, 81
Shall See Him Face to. Face" by Mr..
Fred X. Douglas, the accompaniment
being played by Miss Jessie Even, or
ganist of the Episcopal Church.
Mr.. Ransom chose as his text the
first verse OF the goth Psalm, Lord
Thou hast been our refuge from all
generations" His remarks were
beautifully appropriate as he portray
ed the conversion, baptism, patient
suffering and triumphant death of Mr..
Penn, To his widow, his brothers
and sisters, he paid glowing tribute
of love and faithful devotedness. The
Rev. E. A. Browne, also spoke briefly
and effectively. The casket was liter
ally hidden beneath the wreaths and
set pieces of flowers for which the
mourners are inexpressibly grateful
to their numerous friends and sympa
thizers. During the viewing of the
remains the choir of st. Johns Church
rendered soft and suitable music
The interment was at Woodlawn Gem
etery, where the Rev. Browne offieiat
ed. May he rest in peace.-Com.

the Colored boy. A depicabe thing seldom hap
pens. We do not know of Franks guilt innocence.
We read the evidence carefully, but thing
do know, Georgia mobridden and the "spirits"
that first lit the flame of nglory" against the Negro is
yet alive and now the tray is turned.
The newspapers say that the main evidence against
Frank comes from degenerate Negro" Why call him
degenerate Why did the jury in Georgia regard the
testimony of degenerate Negro" against Mr. Frank

Manager and denounced him
most scathingly. Although the
article is signed by the Gem
Drug Co. it was undoubtly in
spired by a personal animosity
toward DR.. Ford by the man
behind the curtain" whose life
here has not been free from
criticism.
No one questions the compe-
tency of the pharmacist who is
in charge of the prescription de-
partment of the Gem Drug Co.
But we do ask the question
who is the Gem Drug Co.? Is
it not true that Mr.. Karl Pick
EFT assumed the indebtedness of
the Gem Drug Co. and is in
reality the real owner of it? Is
it not true that this same In
dustrial Journal assailsl Mr..
Pickett as being a man unwor-
thy of patronage in a business
way?
DR.. Ford has never claimed the
support of the Colored people
of this city simply because he is
a Negro, but only as a compe-
tent physician and surgeon
worthy of hire.
We have never before heard of
a corporation or company as
sailing through the medium of
of the public press an individual
