has purchased picture machine, had
its booth erected and Will in future
show regular moving pictures for the
benefit of its congregation ana those
living i'm the community who may de-
sire to take advantage of the opportu-
nifty to witness high-class pictures free
from any taint of the world. There

ciative audience will be sufficient for
the church to maintain an exceptional

each Sunday afternoon at the church.
Those who will visit the Peoples
Church Sunday afternoon have been
promised splendid entertainment.
The Rev. I. s. Wilson has need to
feel proud of the Campbell A. Nj. Il.
Church of which he is pastor. During
the past few months the congregation
of this church has raised several thou
sand dollars and have thoroughly reno
waited the interior of that edifice, put
in a new carpet, new pews, purchased
n parsonage and is now preparing to
put in a new furnace. This is most
commendable and shows this congre-
CATION to be united and working to-
gether under the leadership of Rever-
end Wilson. This kind of work shows
racial progress.
The Denver Colored Civic Associa-
tion has recently held number OF
very interesting and beneficial busi-
ness meetings. President THOMAS
Campbell is proving to be the right
man in the right place. The public has
at last concluded that the Civic Asso-
citation is not a political organization,
but a community need. That it is try
ing to help develop the interests of the
colored citizens of Denver. Each meet
ing held of this organization shows
more and more the need of a strong
body of cOlored men to work for the
public welfare and uplift. There should
be at leaast 500 members on its ros-
ter. Mr.. Colored Citizen, you should
send in your application today or hand
it to any friend who is member.
The recital to be given at the Peo-
ple's Tabernacle Thursday evening,
November 18th, by Maud Quincy Hare,
pianist, accompanied by William Ill.
Richardson, promises to be highly sue
cessful in every way. The entertain
ment is to be under the auspices of the
Negro Woman's Club Association, and
the proceeds are TO go towards the
support of the day nursery. This is a
most worthy cause and should and VIII
receive liberal support from the citl-
Zens of Denver.
Recently a committee of Denver's
prominent Masons headed by Dr. j. H.
p WestbrOok, visited Pueblo on offl-
cial business. The committee reports
an interesting trip, all being hghly
pleased with the reception given them
by the Pueblo fraternity. Among those
in the party it is learned, in addition
to DIR. WestbroOk, were George w.
Derry, Mrs Georgia Contee, Frederick
w. Perkins and Mrs. Corrine O'Brien.
The Denver Colored Civic Associa-
ton has recently added among It's
many new members, two young colored
business men whom investigation has
found are doing a highly creditable
and successful business. However,
along different lines. These young
colored men use strictly business meth
ods. are giving excellent service and
are reliable and worthy of patronage.
They are Mr. r. G.. Cranberry of the
Cranberry Taxi Company, and Mr.. Ear
nest Howard, the contractor. Inc
Civic Association feels that it can rec
ommend both these business men to
the favorable consideration of the Den
yer public.

The many friends of Mr.. c. w. Bu
ford are congratulating him upon the
splendid showing he made as candi-
date for Regent of the State Univer-
sity. Mr. Buford was nominated and
accepted the honor on the Farmer-La-
Dor ticket of which he is a warm sup
porter and ran far ahead of his asso-
ciate on that ticket. This shows that |
Mr.. Buford drew considerable support |
from. his immediate friends and of the |
race, although running on an unpopu-
lar ticket. 1t appears from the extra |
support received that it is beginning TO /
pay to nominate colored man on a |
ballot, no matter what political afffh-
alton.
