to its credit in cold cash total az
gregate of about $1,000 which merits
the well done of all concerned.
In view of the rapid growth OF cash
in this department recommend that
the guarantee bond OF this depart
ment be increased double the present
amount, or otherwise changed as the
ID. A. sees fit. The B. o. Voice is
another great necessity as a mouth
piece and sentiment moulder for the
good of the order. | would recon-
mend that the Voice management be
changed from committee and be
put in absolute control of an editor,
who is to be strictly responsible for
the publication of the same, Said
editor to be member of the Dele
gated Assembly with all rights and
privileges of the same. And that
said paper be increased twice its
present size. and that il be published
monthly and that each financial order
be responsible for at least ten copies
monthly; each auxiliary and weak
orders responsible for five copies
monthly, and that fifty dollars be do
mated to- this department to put 1t
on better bases; that it may be cred
table as other fraternal papers; ana
to purchase a membership in the
Negro Press Association" and that
no salary be attached to this depart
ment other than what is realized
through this department, or what
ever the D. A. sees fit to donate.
Our years history has been a
creditable one. having outstripped all
l other orders in the state in unln-
/ numbered property and wealth. Our
| growth has been marvellous in the
true sense of the word. Having add
/ ed nine new orders to our noble
/ brotherhood of orders. Your humble
servant. with God on our side, has
=, been able to win and charter from
! other organizations four other stronG
orders with a membership between
three and four hundred, with proper
tv and cash valued between five and
seven thousand dollars. So wonder
full has been our gorwth from the
great inland of the sea the father OF
waters on the west to the ROCKY
Mountains of East Tennessee. Stand
ing as we do, the great fraterna
Samaritan of the race, | would rec
ommend that we heed the Macedon
ian cry of the race in the diferen
states by purchasing such charte
that will enable us to carry our prou,
banner into every state of the unlo'
E to bless mankind.
, Dear brothers and sisters, ono
) more it is with sorrow and regre
that | remind you of the pale hors
and his rider that visited many o
| our orders in each division of tn
state and has taken some of our mos
useful and beloved members of on
5 ranks. We hope our loss is heaven
= gain. 1t is with becoming pride tina
r we cherish the memory and grea
= work of our noble fathers, who dare
kluklukism, blood and tears an
, chartered anew the grand old orde
t founded in slavery. They have a
l received orders to stack arms an
4 report on high in the beautiful cit
5 of Beulah, whose gates are peal
= and streets are gold in the land {
5 rest where the souls are blessed
amid the outshining powers of goot
ness, grandeur and glory.
