point in Culican and the only inn
portant port in the Gulf of Cali
fornia controlled by the Federal
forces, is now under siege by the

Back To Africa

Atlanta, Feb. Is, -Lured by
tales of land where gold is found
and where cteese and -four and
other good things to eat may be
plucked from trees and bushes,
hundreds of negroes of the middle
states and a few already from
Georgia have swarmed to the STAN
dard of Chief Sam of the Tribe of
Akib and intend to 60 back with
him to the storied Gold Coast o.
Africa, which In his queer lingo he
calls the land of the Cheese tree
and Butter Bush.
Sam is planning to take more
than 1000 men women and chill
dren with him on special ship
next month, and declares that
when he has them successfully
colonized he will come back to
Georgia, Alabama, Arkansas and
other states for thousands more.
Everywhere l mean to spread
the new gospel" he is quoted as
saying, (which means the ship
fnent of all negroes back to Africa
back to their own native land where
they came from, and the land
where they will make their own
laws and be truly free"
"White people except in a few
instances do not realize the TRACE
dy or enormity of the negro ques-
ton in the United States" he is
quoted as saying further. "Tbe
negroes ought to go back to Africa
for their own sake and for the
sake of this country. Farms, gold,
happiness, equality with all in the
communities where they live await
them" ~
White people here are divided
on the question of whether it
would be an economic good or not
for the negroes all to leave this
country, while leaders of the negro
race in many instances are inclined
to be skeptical about Chief Sam
and his project, saying that his
ideas are too vague.

Enchanting Christmas Music.

Per announcement in the city papers
the Methodist church choir of thirty
six voices rendered in song the sacred
cantata entitled Bethlehem, last
Sunday evening. There was large
attendance and the feast of song proved
enchanting to one and ALL AS custom
airy, rendtions of this kind consist of
chosuses, quartets, trios, duets and
solos intermixed. Each was of the
classical and somewhat difficult nature,
and considering the very short time in
which the singers had to prepare for
the cantata the mastery and charm is
so much the more wonderful Many
are they who heard that confess en-
rapture and express surprise at the
splendid vocal talent uncovered. All
the singers were Of this city and a
goolly portion of them quite young in
years.
To Mrs. l.. C. Stair, who presided
with such skillful touch at the pipe or
gan and who was one of the leading d.
rectors in preparing this Christmastide
SOM service. unbridled credit is due.
Requests have come in for q repeti-
tiol of the program with the singers
in costume. The matter is being con-
sidered bat no date has yet been set.

PUBLIC SCHOOLS AND CHRISTMAS
Fitting and Instructive Exercises which
will be Long Remembered by Pupil,
Teacher and Parent.

1t was the good fortune of a multi
tude of our citizens, old and young, to
attend the Christmas exercises by stu
dents of the public schools at the high
school assembly room last Friday after
noon and evening.
The afternoon program consisted of
carol singing and cantata, in which
children of the kindergarten and those
OF the first, second and third grades,
second ward, were the entertainers.
Enthusiasm and good drilling marked
every festure. and the whole was
charmingly clothed with simplicity, joy
| full spirit and accuracy. 1t is such en-
tertainments, Astounding in innocence
and free of vanity, that invariably prove
the most satisfactory and pleasing.
The evening performance drew out a
| notably large attendance, the spacious
room being taxed to where standing
space was at premium. The program,
replete with music and mirth, was
opened by selections by the high school
orchestra, which was good and proper
ly primed the hearts and spirits of all.
Then was staged cantata, Revolt in
Christmas Land, by seventh and
eighth grade pupils, many taking part,
each one of whom is entitled to credit
wreath. Following was some excellent
singing by the high school girls glee
club. There were about twenty of
them, and anyone so duh and unappre-
cialive of music as not to be stirred
and enthused by their singing is out of
place on this earth. For the conclusion
was play, Christmas at Finnegan's
Flat. In this abol,t ten high school
students took part, reinforced by a
bar 4 of gleeful tots from the third
grade. 1t was side-spitter and dis
closed good amateur talent.
The grand finale was goodnight SER
enade by senior mixed quartet.
II would not be fair to close without
an expression OF appreciation and thank
fitness to the several teachers who so
untlringly applied themselves in train
ipF, She scholars to so skillfully master
tn nTtIcata parts. 1t can have but
one esuit the uplifting of their intel-
lect'la, and moral forces. On behalf Of
parents and the public in general the
Tribune extends TO the teachers vote
of thanks.
