P. H. Jackson, Reporter,
Wnchita Falls, June 16.-Sunday,
the 18th of June, is the day unau-
thentic history tells us that the Ne
gro was set free in Texas. A day
in which we should all share a rel
alive interest in its commemoration.
In fact this custom once obtained,
but not so now. The real 18th of
June celebration with its basket
dinners, patriotic speeches, and free
amusements has past into oblivion
1t is rather a custom now for one or
two men to buy the rights to some
public grounds; fill the community
with dodgers or bills purporting to
show a primitive celebration, when
in fact it is a project prompted by,
and based upon speculative motives.
We have here in Wichita Falls, a
Negro Business League. two ladies'
civic clubs, and six. churches. Any
movement for the general welfare
of our people should be made thrOU1h
organizations. Any other method
will prove futile, and VIII incite The
indignation and condemnation of the
population en- masse. Mrs. Marie
Hunter returned home Saturday
night after an extended visit to her
anuties in ArdmOre, Oklahoma. Mrs.
Louie Taylor left Sunday night for
