RECEIVES DIPLOMA IN MUSIC.

Friends of Miss Maxcy Lane Co.
mer will be glad to hear that she has
received her diploma in music with
honors. Miss Conner was called home

aminations were sent back to the
school to be graded, and an average of
90 was made. When they were COM
pleted the school selected Mr.. Kurt
Mueller, PRESIDENT of Southern Uni
versity of Music, to grade in technical
proficiency. Mr. Mueller said: "Miss
Conner had the knowledge and is cap
able to execute the most difficult mu-
sic"
Miss Conner has been teaching in
connection with the Conner school OF
music, and her friends and patrons
will be glad to hear of her success.

CORDELE WOMEN MEET
TO ORGANIZE,

A number of Cordele womeA met at
the library Friday afternoon to dis
cuss the organization of Red Cross
aid class and-a detachment" of the
National League for Women's Service.
Much interest is being manifested in
these organizations and a goodly num-
her of Cordele's patriotic women have
asked to be enrolled. Amy American
woman of good character is eligible
to membership in these organizations,
and at this time in the present great
crisis in which our country finds it
self, it is a vital question-this train
ing of our women to do a mans part
in conserving the home in case our
nien are called to the front; and in
learning to aid in the nursing Of the
wounded in case of hostilities. The
ladies will meet again next Friday
afternoon and perfect their orgaTiza-
tions and take steps to obtain an ex-
pert for the training classes.

IN EXILE.

IN EXILE.
Let me come back to my mission;
Come back to my first love:
Let me come back to the waiting
A bright mansion above.
Let me come back to the homestead
Back to my mothers knee;
Back to the place of her teaching;
The Book of Books to me.
Let me come back to it's precepts-
They satisfy my heart;
Let me come back to the Bible
And never more depart.
Take all vain science and ''new
thought"
All these teachings I'd flee;
Let me come back to the Bible
AS mother taught it to me.

BIG TASK ASSUMED
BY NEGRO WORKERS
Fifty Per Cent Of Alabama Arrivals
to Be Taught Reading and
Writing.

Camp Dodge, Ia, Nov, 12.-One of
the biggest tasks to be undertaken by
any of the camp organizations is that
undertaken by the staff of Negro Y.
NJ. C. A. workers assigned to duty at
building 80, which is located among
the Colored soldiers at the south end
of camp.
Fully so per cent of the men are
unable to read or write, and educa.
tional work will be the big thing to
be undertaken among men of this
class.
L. w. Tucker, general secretary in
charge, was stationed at Fort Des
Moines while the officers were in train
ing and is an experienced Y. M C. A.
worker. His building staff includes
James Anderson, religious work secre.
tary; Earl Beck, recreation secretary
G.. H. Former, educational secretary.
and Roy X. Hardy, assistant.
Glasses in the reading and writing
of the English language have already
been opened, and 21S men were in at
tendance at one barrack alone last
week.
The first thing taught the men is
the reading and writing of their own
name, in order that they may sign the
payroll.
The Negro soldiers are enthusiastic
patrons of the Y. NJ. c. A, and the
building is damned day and night. 1t
may be necessary to open another unit
among the Negro troops, Secretary
Tucker believes, if the entire 1000
men who are due to report here are
received.
