Parks; Address, Not Problem, but
a Program, Hon w. F. Bledsoe:
Remarks, Prof. c. H. McGruder;
Music, Senior Choir.
We can not refrain from men,
tioning again one of the special
feature of the evening namely the
part the Juveniles had on the pro-
gram. After their welcome had
been made Miss Helen Ruth Nc
Gruder rose and with queenly digni-
ty presented beautiful boquet of
roses typifying the compliment in
the name of our city. of Roses and the
Rosebud Juveniles, to our Most
Worthy Grand Master. AS soon as
she had finished little Miss --
-------? they have in a most
eloquent manner presented to our
much beloved Grand Secretary --
-? boquet of Easter lilies, type
of the true affection. Following
this the Rosebud Juveniles sang a
chorus, ",The Grand U. B. F.'s The
Grand Officers, so much that they
expressed themselves in terms of
thanks and highest appreciation say
ing how very proud they are of
them And we'll they might be for
they are indeed a happy band of
about eighty in number which in
their membership drive for May they
hope make one hundred. Too
much credit can not be given the
Mother Matrons, Mrs. A. B. Harper,
Mrs. c. H. McGruder, and Mrs. M.
Brown. who work with untiring eff
forts to promote their growth and
welfare.
But the grandest of all was the
excellent address made by our Most
Worthy Grand Master. So instru-
tive, so inspiring, so interesting and
amusing was it, that every one from
the youngest to the oldest felt them
selves greatly benefited, so much
so that they will always be glad to
hear him.
The whole scene was of much
grand and dignity as we beheld
on the Tostrum two of the Grand
officers of one of the greatest Ne
gro organizations in the world;
while around them sat a great thong
of loyal members in spotless at
tire with every eye beaming with
alteration and every heart filled
with praise that God so loved our
race that he gave to us such men
as those to pilot us in our great
undertakings. Men of brain, men oil
such indimitable courage that knows
no such word as fail.
The program having been COM
pleted all were invited to return to
to the hall, where a grand banquet
was prepared in honor of our dis.
tinguished guest, which was indeed
a social fete. So great was the i'm
preston made that several appli-
cations were resolved to the differ
ont departments and many more
have promised. Being blest as we
are in having our Grand Secretary,
Prof. C. H. McGruder, here with us
always. together with our efficient
leaders w. M, Prof A. d. Shetflelu,
w. p, Mrs. E. J. Lethridge, ana
the. Mother Matrons, we have one OF
The finest Lodges, Temples, and Ju-
veniles in the state, both in quality
and quantity. Still this grand ova-
tion together with the benefits de-
rived, shall infuse us so greater &C
tivities. So let it be, for this WISH
of the Grand Master initiates the
great movement that will reach It's
climax on the fifth Sunday in May

Gossips Around City Hall Say
Next Incumbent Is To Be
Paid $l,500
SALARY LONG HAS BEEN
$500 AND FEES YEARLY
If Increase Is Made Successor
Of Mayor Tiger Will Be
First To Enjoy 1t

A rumor has been floating around
the city hall today to the effect that It
is the purpose Of the council to in
crease the salary Of the mayor Of Mt.
Vernon to $500 year.
1t is known that this subject has
been more or less tentatively under
discussion by the councilmen at one
time or another, but it remains still
to be seen whether it will be done or
remains only one of those eminently
desirable and proper things that all
agree should be done but for which
no one particularly cares to be the
sponsor.
The mayors salary for long time
has been $500 annually, to which is
added his fees in state cases, a more
| or less variable and uncertain guam.
| tity. To accept the office on this
basis involves considerable of a sacri-
| fee on the part of the incumbent and,
no doubt explains the difficulty usu-
ally found in inducting men to be-
come candidates for the office. 1t
does not justify a man in giving his
entire time and attention to the con-
duct and supervision of city affairs
while it breaks in upon and disengag.
es other personal business to such an
extent that it is an annoyance most
men of affairs are only too glad to
avoid
The office, too, has its burdens and
responsibilities, its petty annoyanc-
es and irritations, acts and motives
are misunderstood, misconstrued ana
the criticism often is outspoken and
bitter while the occasions when ap.
proval and praise are spoken unfor
tunately are only too far between and
so infrequent as to be negligible.
Should the action be taken by the
council, as -rumored. it would not af
feet the salary of Mayor Tiger for thi:
current term. 1t would be drawn ant
enjoyed first by his successor who is
elected in November next and takes
office on January /, 1922.

Suit for Divorce
Alleging adultery and gross neglect,
John Kelly has commenced suit for
divorce against Edith Kelly in the
Knox county common pleas court. The
parties are colored. The plaintiff says
they were married June 21, 1910, and
that three children were born to them.
The plaintiff charges adultery and
neglect and says the defendant spends
her time away from home in the com.
pany OF other men. The plaintiff
charges that the defendant has been
guilty of adultery with George Cope
