"A high school boy, who is a constant
reader of Cayton's Weekly, was asked
what feature of the paper did he appreciate
best and he replied, The Passing Throng,
because it occasionly balls the fellows out
L 90 not mean for any one to get the impress
sion that L ball any one out simply be-
cause have paper of my own. I mean to
be perfectly fair in my criticism of those
from whom | differ and | assure you and
each Of you that I would prefer thou
sand times over to say nice things about my
fellowman than ugly ones. And this re-
minds me Of the words of a man, who duti-
fully reads this paper each week. ''You seem
to overlook the good things the Negro is
doing and parade his misfortunes' If
this | have done l did so without my knowl-
edge and | have no desire to issue any such
publication. [ want to be constructive rath-

The Mt. Zion Baptist Church closed one
of it's periodical rallies last Sunday even
ing and the finals showed the sum of $780,
which is now in the bank and is the build
ing fund. In addition to this $4,000 have
been subscribed and the present church lot
is valued at $4,000, all Of which will go in
to the building fund making total of
$1S,SOO. Another rally will be put on next
spring and in this it is expected not less
than $4,000 will be raised giving total of
$4,000. The estimate cost of the structure
is $32,5OO, which will only leave an in
debtedness Of $4,000 when the church is
dedicated. The church already has it's new
building site and owes but $1,000 on that
and the property is now bringing a monthly
rental Of $780,. The Rev. Carter says he is
well pleased with the entire situation and
predicts the completion Of the new church
by next fall.
The Reverend Carter, preacher Bill, eX-
poets brand new church to build, in which
to house his Sunday throng and those, who
to his church belong. His captains and lieu
tenants have done we'll and so have all the
dainty bellies, which gives to them mighty
roll, with which to raise their high flag
pole. They hope they'll have before next
May, the necessary funds to pay, to build
the halls and paint the walls and finish all
before next fall. Capt Clark and Capt. All
the Army moved at Carter's call and gath

the Ginning bells. One bright and shining
Sunday soon this dear old church will meet
it's DOOM structure grand it's place will
take and it will simply take the cake
Comes then the dedication day and all will
bow their heads to pray and call on Him
above us all to concecrate this splendid
hall. Then Reverend Carter and his force
may sing and sing It'll they are hoarse,
Hoosana to the Lord on high and Save me
Jesus ere I die
