Wichita Falls, May 19.-Sunday was
an ideal day. Good services were
reported from all the churches. Rev.
j. A. Jones, p f. of the Fort Worth
District, held his second quarterly
conference at the Anderson Chapel
A. NJ. +. Church. Rev. d. L. Math-
ews who recently organized Baptist
church in the Kemp Addition, re-
ports a successful rally-$218 was
raised. st. John Baptist church, Mt
Pleasant Baptist Church. and Titus
c. NJ. L. Church, all held regular
services. A somewhat extended and
| heated controversy has at last been
quoted by the announcement that the
Washington School will be built in
the NARROW Addition There was a
! faction who wanted ii in the Kemp
! Addition, which is already settled
with Colored people. There were a
few who wanted it placed in the
NARROW Addition. where there are no
Colored people living. And there
was still another contingent who
wanted it aonywhere except on its
present site on Sullivan street. The
reporter think the NARROW Addition
the better place for the school, in
view of the fact that all the prop
erty adjacent to the school site has
been placed in the hands of Nh
Harrison WEIGH, our real estate deal
er, and is held exclusively for Col
ored people. There are numbers of
patrons OF the school living in sew
wants quarters on the "Hill' on the
account of inadequate housing con-
ditiOns in the Flat whom | am
sure will be only too glad to avail
| themselves of the opportunity to buy
| lots and build homes near the school.
! The city assures us of water con-
nectiOns and other requirements, to-
gether with a cement sidewalk from
the Denver tracks to the school build
ing, which will make it easily ac-
cessible for the children to get to
and from the school. Now let's
cease knocking and all Join IN and
make Wichita Falls Colored school
second to none. Hon Roscoe COnklin
Simmons will address the citizens of
Wichita Falls, Monday night June
the Goth. Mr.. Simmons comes to our
city under the auspices of the Bus
mess League. A committee has al

appropriate program. Dame rumOr
