but they listened to the boys and thought
of the days when they were young. These
young men will make good preachers
if they will just remain until they are
fully ripe.
remained at the convention for sew
eral days, and then in company with
Revs. j. R. Burdett and F. l.. Lights I
left for Houston, being the guest of DIR.
Burdett. We went over the Santa Fe,
and that old fellow seemingly lost his
head, and it looked like he was going to
chase his own brains out between Hous-
ton and Temple. We remained still and
we went right in on time. When we got
to town 1 went to the Western Star
Office to call on Editor Mccoy, who was
one more busy man. He was putting
brains on paper. 1 often wish that 1
could write like that one man.
Getting through 1 went up to the
beauty parlors of Madam Franklin to
have my beauty added to. Nine. Frank
lin had been called away by the death Of
her sister, and Mrs. Virginia Shaw, who
is beauty expert, worked on me. She
made my finger nails shine like gold or
diamonds, and then she put in trim my
head by giving it good washing, but
said that my hair did not need to be
halls or ironed. Miss Shaw is po-
lite, courteous and well trained, and it
is fortunate that Madam Franklin has
such a worthy young woman.
There is no doubt about it. Madam
franklin had faith in her people and
they are responding to her because she
knows her business and keeps those who
are prepared to do the work. got
around on Sunday and spent the day
in church. Sunday morning I was at
Bethel Baptist church, Rev. Burdett,
pastor, and heard a sermon by Charles
Stewart. In the afternoon went to
lecture at Antioch Baptist church, al
though there was a meeting at Wesley
Chapel, \. NJ. Z. church. This meeting
was addressed by the NJ. H. BrOyles, one
of the biggest lawyers in the world as
he sees himself, and one of the best post
ed men in all creation. He was booked
to represent the National Association for
Protection of or Advancement of Col
ored People. He had plenty to talk
about and should have taken advantage
of the opportunity to press his cause
instead of abusing the speaking of an
other meeting. He spoke of another
meeting being addressed by GA little
Darkie from Chicago" Well am not
going to comment on what that big
lawyer said. 1 may grow down as large
as he is if should do this, and that
would cause me to have the big head and
bust open.
1 had the pleasure of meeting some of
the leaders in town, shook hands with
DR.. E. j. Howard, pastor of Wesley, Mrs.
Florence Sledge and her husband. Mrs.
Sledge invited me to go to market with
her, and did and enjoyed it so much.
She is a fine young woman from Illinois
with a good husband. 1 enjoyed looking
at them.
OFF to Beaumont from Houston,
stopped with DIR. C. B. Charlton, one Of
the busiest tooth dentists in the world.
He can make you second handed teeth
f you desire to have them and you may
get happy over IT. He Is Just one more
busy man.
