this section of the country, and since

let you have the result of my seeing.
Reaching here, l found my way to
the drug store and there, to my sur

Mississippi mixing up the medicines.
She is product from Meharry, and

in the country and her former home
was Yazoo City, Miss. Then went
to the home of DR.. c. G. Cummins.
pastor of the Simpson Memorial
Methodist Episcopal Church. He
comes from the Baltimore stock, and
his wife extended me a cordial well

the street attending to business.
DR.. Cummins came, and we went
to meeting at the High School.
There was only a handful present,
but they represented work and
brains. They had been raising money
for the NJ. V. Lee Home for our
girls. You will agree with me that

Ter companionship, advice and help.
The was not seeking to use the or
anization to make money. for she
elonged to one of the best families,
