 MT. Sears was member of the W,aodmen for .Vaty many years, and had always expressed desire that the members of the organization con- duct his funeral. Because the rela tives are scattered at many points and the trip to Salt Lake City, his old home, is so lengthy, it was de- cided to have tine funeral held here.
 Years ago, when MT. Sears was a young man, he travelled extensively in this section of the Mississippi valley, purchasing cattle and driving them north to Indiana, Illinois and that section, where they were fattened for market. In this business he estab- .:shed his fortunes, only to lose them later in real estate speculations in Salt Lake City and that section.

 Prof. J. w. Eichelberger, Jr., noted as being one of the few negroes who attended the worlds Sunday school convention at Zurich, Switzerland, in July, 1913, conducted the Sabbath school services Sunday, at the thirty fifth annual session of the Arkansas conference of the A. M. T. Zion church.
 Prof. Eichelberger delivered a strong address and closed by saying that Dr. Lyman of New York, who. is considered an authority on Sabbath school work, said that the A. M. E.. Zion church has the youngest baby among negroes, on tine cradle roll de- rartment. Dr. Lyman, said the white race has the distinction of having the youngest baoy on any cradle roll, the baby having been but one minute old when enrolled. The negro baby when enrolled was one minute and forty seconds old.
 Much interest was manifested for racial uplift. Dr. J. B. Colbert of the Kentucky conference and Rev. C.. w. l.. Mitchell, graduate of Franklin ton Christian college, Franklinton, N. C., preached strong sermons. Bishop G. l.. Blackwell of Philadelphia, is ,iftina his race, from moral view Eoint.
