A coMMENDAsLE EFFORT.

The Negroes of Huntville and Dal-

ties are making an organized effort
to purchase the famous Randolph
Springs at the town of the same name
and more than $4,000 worth of stock
has been subscribed for this PROPOSE
tion, which has been offered them
for $4,000. On Thursday last a large
number of the stockholders, their fam
lilies and friends assembled at the
Springs for an outing and to acquaint
perspective purchasers with the splen-
did opportunity that lies before them.
Thees springs have the best water in
Missouri, both for drinking and medic
inal purposes, and it is hoped that the
Colored people of the state will not let
the opportunity pass to acquire this
splendid property, which will make an
ideal outing and recreation place for
the olored people of the state.

K. P. ENCAMPMENT JULY 24-30 ON PARADE Way


ment, the wonderful, beautiful and
magnificent PORO COLLEGE, own
ed by Mr.. and Mrs. A. W. Malone.
In the afternoon we visited many
individual places of interest and at
night were rendered most elaborate
banquet, ranking with those rendered
us at Tuskegee and at Atlanta by the
business men of that city, in which
there were many felicitious exchanges
of good wishes and racial cooperation.
AT the close of the banquet we were
carried by our hosts in their splendid
automobiles to the Union Station and
when we had boarded our special car
Prof. Lee called all the men together
and presented Mr.. Nahum d. Bras
CHER the beloved and popular repre-
sentative of the Associated Negro
Press, who had accompanied us the
entire tour and who was to leave us
that night, with a substantial purse
as a slight token of the appreciation
and regard held for him by the mem
bers of the delegation. Mr.. Braschier
made an impression upon our delega-
ton that will live as long as memory
holds sway and affection is known
among men. A purse of $500 each
was also presented to our photograh-
er, Mr.. j. E. Miller, and the Editor of
The Sun, for oratorically (as the gang
said) representing the delegation. Mr..
Brashier made a most feeling response
to the presentation, and there was a
good many coughs and blowing of
noses and hiding of faces before he
had finished, because it really seemed
we were leaving one of our oldest and
dearest friends. At 11:30 p. m. as our
train pulled out from the Union Sta
tion we gave three cheers for old ST
Louis, three cheers for Nahum d.
Brashier, three cheers for our splendid
porter, who by the way is as fine a
young man as we have ever come in
contact with, and the delegation evi-
denced their appreciation by giving
him S125.00 for mis- fourteen days stay
with us and three cheers and a tiger
for the big brainy and energetic Prof.
j. R. E. Lee, who has forever endear-

delegation. And then we sought our
berths, after singing with Brashier,
God Be With You Till We Meet
Again." to dream OF the loved ones
that we left behind two weeks ago
and whom we would shortly see, and
at 7:45 Wednesday morning, April %,
we rolled into magnificent Union Sta
tion at Kansas City, home, sweet
home, where we were affectionately
greeted by wives, relatives, sweet
hearts and friends and escorted to our
various residences where we were be-
sieged to tell the story of this remark
able trip
Next year we hope to repeat this
trip on a larger scale and cover more
territory, because we believe the old
adage that all work and no play
makes Jack dull boy" and that the
man who goes out over the country
and sees what his brethren are doing
in other localities is inspired upon his
return home to do even better and
bigger things for his own home town.

WELL KNOWN coLoRED STAR
COMING TO KANSAS CITY FOR
ENGAGEMENT.
Iris Hall, Leading Lady in Mieheaux's
'Homesteader," Will Play at Lin
coin Theatre Next Week.

There are very few of our race who
have not seen Oscar Micheauxs S fam
Gus photodrama, The Homesteader.
There are none who will miss Niche
aux's latest masterpiece, The Brute"
which is coming soon to the Lincoln.
And of all who have seen the famous
colored drama of the Great North
west none will ever forget the splen-
did acting of Iris Hall who took the
leading part in the play. Without
reservation, it can be said that Miss
Hall is one Of the most popular and
talented actresses on the colored
stage.
beginning Monday, July 19, Miss
Iris Hall will appear with the Perrin
Henderson company in a series OF
musical comedies that the company
will play at the Lincoln theatre. Sup
porting Miss Hall are a cast of fiji
teen stars who are unexcelled in their
work before the footlights. Music
that will charm, songs that will
please, chats that will bring many a
laugh and a good clean show is the
promise, and has always been the
well-known reputation, of the Perrin
Henderson Company. 1t will alone be
worth the price of admission to see
our own Iris Hall in person and be-
fore us, taking the leading part in
the plays presented.
Many ladies of our community have
expressed their desire to meet Miss
Hall off the stage. Mr.. Goldman, of
the Lincoln, has arranged for an in
formal reception after the play on
Monday, July 19.
The Perrin-Henderson Company
will play two weeks in Kansas City.
The company had been originally
booked and advertised for our city
July ., but owing to the great popu-
lar demand in Houston, Texas, the
company consented to remain beyond
their original engagement there.
The Lincoln program will continue
to be an hours photo-play with the
musical comedy. On Sunday, July
is, the program will consist of the
last performances of the "Hardtack"
Jackson Company together with the
great paramount picture The Teeth
OF The Tiger play founded on the
famous detective stories of Arsene
Lupin, the master mind. The fact
that it is a Paramount insures its
merit. The Jackson Company will
leave Sunday night for St. Louis
where they will open Monday at the
Booker T. Washington theatre for a
limited engagement. Mr.. Jackson
and his company have been very
popular and continued drawing great
crowds of theatre-goers to the Lin
coin theatre. For their farewell per-
formances Sunday, they will put on a
special program with new songs,
dances, costumes and funny situa-
tions. Let everyone turn out Sun
day in appreciation to "Hardtack"
Jackson and his splendid company for
the clean, clever, amusing entertain
ment they have afforded US for the
past two weeks. We hope that they
will come again.
