NEGRO COMMERCIAL ASSoclA
TIoN OPENS DOOR FOR CO.
OPERATION.

Zion. Baptist Church had a large
representative gathering last week
Friday evening when in response
to an invitation of the Negro
Commercial Association, a number of
citizens of both sexes expressed their
sympathy in being present in spite
of the very inclement weather. Rev.
D. E. Over presided and after outlin-
ing the purport of the organization
called on Mr.. George Gross, popular
citizen and eloquent speaker, to ad-
dress the audience. In his usual i'm
pressive way Mr.. Gross, in enjoying
the rapt attention of his auditors and
showing the necessity for such an or
ganization in Colorado among the
people of Color, urged their uncondi-
tional support. Mrs. Jessie Carter,
hair culturist of our city and resident
of many years enjoying large circle
of friends and patronage, gave some
interesting information on "Our Peo-
pie in Business,"-the same lending
an inspiration to those in business
as well as a great boost for the asso-
cations campaign for membership.
Governor Gunter in few chosen re-
marks complimented us for our pro-
gress as race, made special mention
of the integrity and other soldierly
qualities of our colered Sammies, and
wished every success to the associa-
ton. The president of the Interstate
Bank and Trust Company, Mr.. c. N.
Briggs, gave practical talks on the
qualities necessary to success and
emphasized that management and real
management was a great essential to
permanency. Information was given
as to Negro contribution to the Red
Cross, in the sum of $4,000 by over
l 900 subscribers. After an appeal by
the chairman many persons sub
scribed their names to the ros-
ter of membership THE COLORADO

Woman War Leader.

Winema, otherwise known as Toby
Riddle, is probably the only North
American woman who ever led war
riors into battle. In the war between
the Modocs and the Pitt River Cali
formal Indians many years ago, this
dauntless Indian maid, who had pre-
viously received the title of Kaitch-
kona Winema (sub-chief) when she
fearlessly guided her canoe through
the rushing waters of Link River and
saved the lives of two children, as
sumed command of the Modocs when
that bands leader was shot down.
Mounted on her war horse, she rushed
to the head of her Indian column and
led brilliant cavalry charge which
resulted In complete victory over the
Pitt River tribe.

ZAcKERY-ANDREWs WEDDING.

A pretty little wedding was celebrat-
ed last Wednesday a week ago at the
home of Mr.. and Mrs. S. A. Mcclure,
when their daughter, Jessie Alexina,
became the wife of Gilbert Ebley
zackery. The ceremony was per
formed by the Rev. C. A. Williams in
the presence of few intimate friends
and thus two young people of popu-
lar and highly respected families in
the community were united in a re-
sponsibility over which their friends
offer congratulations. THE COLO
RADIO STATESMAN extends its best
wishes for very successful career
for Mr. and Mrs. Zackery, who are
well known to us, the former being a
faithful employee of Denver Athletic
Club and the latter a leading musician
of our city. At home to their friends

MISS MABEL COLE MERITS OUR
SUPPORT.

We are great admirers of artists
and would-be artists visiting our city
from time to time, never failing TO
give them the fullest support We can,
but whenever it comes to an appreci-
alton of local talent, how often do we
pass them by only to lose sight OF
them when. another community gets
hold of them and by their encourage
ment pushes them on the road OF sue
cess. In presenting Miss Cole in Re-
cital Tuesday evening, January 29th,
there is no hesitation in corroborating
the fact that she possesses voice oil
rare quality and the public, especially
music lovers, will be amply rewarded
in patronizing this event which Will
demonstrate the ability possessed by
our people. The Peoples PresPyter-
ian Church offers this singer to the
public, as an original Denver product
schooled and trained here. Hear her
for yourself and see if our opinions
agree.
