Resolutions of the o. E. S.: Where
as it has pleased our Divine Father
to take himself our sister, Agnes
| Johnson, and leave vacant the point
Ada of our Star, we, the members Of
Alpha chapter, No. 2, mourn our loss,
but know that our loss is her gain.
There isno flock, howe'er protected,
but one dear lamb is gone; there is
no freside, howe'er defended. but
has one vacant chair.
Peaceful be thy silent slumber,
Peaceful in thy grave so low;
Thou no more will join our number,
Thou no more our SORROWS know.
Belt resolved that a copy Of these
resolutions be placed in the minutes
and copy be given to the family of
our departed.

Leaving Mt. Pleasant In the first
mud that he had experienced with our
car, we pulled into Burlington by
dark and found just about the same
people that we left here last year ex-
cept at least the men were one year
older, also the ladies (but they won't
admit it). There is only one real
permanent church, the A. M. E.
church, pastored by Rev. B. F. Hub
bard, young man Of marked ability,
who is hustler. He has charge of
the church at Fairfield. Mr.. Peter
King, one Of the oldest and best
known citizens here, is sick and he
has gone out to Colorado to spend
the summer. His wife and boys are
keeping house. They own a beautiful
modern home. The boys are very
musical and highly cultured. Mr.
John L. Brooks has resigned as chef
at the Elks club and is back at his
old trade, that of paper hanging. He
owns a nice home out on Gertrude
street. Mr.. and Mrs. J. E. johnson
are still living at their beautiful
home on Spruce street. Mr.. johnson

A BEAUTIFUL PARTY.

Mr.. and Mrs. James James gave a
very beautiful reception party last
Friday evening tt their beautiful
home, 1923 East Eighth street, in
honor of Mrs. Woods and children Of
Marshall, Texas, who is cousin Of
Mrs. James. The house was decorat-
ed with flowers. Conversation, music
and special program was rendered
Mrs. J. B. Rush presided as toastmis-
tress. Those speaking were John c.
Coleman, DR.. A. J. jefferson, Rev. M.
w. Alexander, John L. Thompson,
and Mrs. S. Joe Brown. Those who
assisted Mrs. James in serving a
three-course refreshments were
Misses Carrie Watson, Maud Lewis,

owns home in the suburbs of the
city. Mr.. John R. johnson on West
Barrett street iss still running a truck
garden and chicken farm. He is do
ing well, considering the season. 1t
does seem tome sometimes it is nec-
essary to deviate from the observa-
tion to express our feelings as to the
carelessness of some of the subscrib-
ers in paying their subscription. 1t
seems as though some of the SUBJ
scribers try to beat us out, or, rather
fail to pay. They seem to have an
excuse that they do not know when
we are coming, when we have sent
them cards and they have received
them or some member of the family,
but they do not pay any attention to
the card. And the others have an
excuse by saying that it is not our
pay day. 1t seems to me that if they
know we are coming they would try
and pay that $3.50, as we are only
there once a year, and cannot be there
for every pay day. Although we
have a great many honest subscrib-
ers who pay every year, we do not
mean them, but praise. We are 60
ing to write those members who
promised to pay, as they said they
would send in day or so, and we will
wait and see if they mean to keep
their promise. Or if they fail to pay
