PROVE GREAT ENTERTAINERS


Last Thursday evening Old Colony
hall wore a new garb presenting
magnificent spectacle when the Unit
ed Brothers of Friendship and Sis
ters of the Mysterious Ten gave their
annual entertainment, the same being
attended by large gathering of rep
resentative residents of the city. This
fraternal society is pushing itself over
the top and winning much recognition
in the community, as it always sub
scribes its efforts to the wants Of the
needy and deserving ones apart from
the fulfillment of it's regular obliga-
tory demands.
This event reflects very much credit
on the order, the committee of man
agement and all who assisted in max
ing it successful. Morrison's orches-
ira continues to delight and their sup
porters offer the highest commenda-
tion. An enjoyable and highly salts
factory entertainment was held and
those who patronized it were very
much pleased with results.

ANNUAL NATIONAL
WESTERN STOCK SHOW

The National Western took Show is
always heralded as one of Denver's
greatest events and is welcomed by
not only home folks but strangers
from afar off who, hearing of the de-
velopment of the West in the stock
market, are eager to be eye-witnesses
of this production that is making it.
self famous for the past twelve years.
The officials of the Stockmen's Asso-
citation have been working with might
and main to make this show eclipse
all others, as number of govern
ment dignitaries will be present and
the fact of the great supply of horses
and cattle within the past year to our
associates in war has caused many
persons to turn westward for interest.
The -Stockman, very valua-
BILE publication, gives detailed inform
alton of the event beginning Saturday
10th and continuing to the Goth. Now
that number of our people have
acquired government claims and are
stocking their ranches and farms, par
ticular interest should be evinced by
them in getting real, thoroughbred
stock, which will mean permanent
success. Items of special interest for
both adults and children will be on
the program and this opportunity to
witness what our stockmen associa-
tion is capable of doing should not be
missed. A very successful Show is
the wish of the COLORADO STATES
MAN.

THE EAGLE OIL COMPANY.

This company SO well known to the
public is not attempting to elaborate
on its holdings and developments in
the oil industry, but only offering en-
couragement to it's investors by in
forming them that announcement is
made of an advance in treasury stock
from five to fifteen cents, the same
to be effective. March list. This proves
that the prospecsts are very bright
and stock holders have every reason
to anticipate good returns from their
investments as wells are being drilled
and every indication points to this
company being one of the most sue
cessful in the field. Persons who are
favorably impressed with the work
ings of this company would insure
lasting benefits if they call at 2l5-l6

ROSCOE coNkLlNo SIMMONS PRO.
CLAIMED GREATEST ORATOR.

Whitson Long returned to the city
last Monday after few weeks visit
to his home in Marshall. Texas. Mr..
Long in giving a graphic description
of his good fortune in hearing the
greatest orator of the race, Roscoe
Conkling Simmons, says he has heard
them all, but none is equal to this
present day leader. The city hall Of
Marshall was crowded to its capacity
on New Years Day, when taking for
his topic the harmony that should
exist between black and white es-
pecially affording the opportunity to
the former to demonstrate his patriot
ism to its fullest as he wants to do
but is being hindered. A fair per
centage of white persons comprised
thhe audience and the consensus of
opinion acclaimed Mr.. Simmons a
great scholar and an orator. Mr..
Long said this event coupled with the
usual Christmas festivities made his
trip the most pleasant he has had for
long time. He also visited Fort
Worth and other points.

THE GENERAL is DEAD.

Gen. John G. Kennedy, one of the
founders of the American Woodmen, n
fraternal insurance society for col
ored people, passed away on Monday,
the sixth instant. In 1901 having as
his assistants the late DR.. Lake of
this city and the Hon. j. K. Shireman
of Pueblo, Colo, the Supreme Camp
was duly incorporated under the laws
of the state of Colorado. For eight
years he labored hard to place it in
a healthy condition financially. So
well did he succeed that notwith-
standing the many deaths that oc-
CURED in the various local camps, the
claims were met without a single as
sessment being made on any of the To-
cal camps. These claims were met
by the members of the Supreme
Camp.
The Colored people who are men,
bers of this organization owe to Gen
eral Kennedy a debt of gratitude,
which am afraid they can never pay.

camp in the organization.
Colorado had three camps, two OF
which l think are still in existence.
There were local camps in Alabama,
Florida, Mississippi, Tennessee, South
Carolina, Alaska, District of Columbia,
Louisiana and Texas. Texas had the
largest number of camps, and the
greatest membership. General Kenne-
dy, as supreme clerk, appointed col
ored schoolteacher by the name of G.
M. White as state deputy for Texas.
Under the constitution at the expira-
ton of eight years new officials were
elected to guide the affairs of the or
ganization. He had SO wisely built
the foundation that his successors had
but little to do but follow the plans
turned over to them by this far-seeing
man. His memory will live forever
in the hearts of the true Negroes who
were connected with it during it's
early struggles. May his spirit rest
in peace.

brown skin, blue eyed, pretty, baby
faced girl, who lives somewhere in
Colorado, on some street, and In some
town. / took the letter and placed
1t in poetry as near as | could. 1t is
as follows:
You are handsome
You are winsome
You are as good as you can be.
Your hair is curly
Your smile is burly.
That is why / write to thee.
You are king of sporty ways,
And the brown skin girls all say
That you are the coming Brown today.
So please answer my letter by May
To poor little me.
Warm, isn't 1t? Well 1 should kiss

around my collar, and way below 60
about my feet, will try to get my
skull bone to working in its feverish
way to give this brown skin queen an
answer. Hold your breath and read
my reply:
/ am not handsome.
/ am not winsome
So you are as wrong as you can be.
My hair is not curly
Although my smile is burly,
Is the way / answer thee.

Yet my progress is aimed high.
Now | have answered your letter right
So | will say kind goodnight.
