Garrett Gaines, the wife, has had an
awful accident, and she is suffering
so very much. 1t was caused by an
automobile truck running over her,
splitting her foot wide open, just TAX
ing out the bone in the big toe. She
was in the hospital three months, but
is out now knocking around. She is
making some Roadway toward reeov-
cry. / believe that she will get well
and will be able to do her work. She
is one of the finest dressmakers in
the country. Let us hope and pray
that she will be herself again. She is
also fine singer. Time will not per-
NIT me to say all, but will reserve
some for the next time.
From Philadelphia, / went out to
Chester, where l found there had
been an Old Aunt Dolly time in the
church there. Some OF them Bap-
lists thought that it was moving time
for the pastor, but the pastor did not
think the same way, and they had
tried to put him out and even talked
about sending him to shut eye town
if he did not get out. But if you
know Rev. J. r. Bennett, you know
that he is not made sof the running
stuff, and when you talk about clos
ing his eyes he. knows how to do
some of that kind of business too, but
being imbued with the spirit of Christ
he has decided to resign, for there
are so many other fields wanting him.
l spent one night in Chester, then
/ made it to Baltimore, for a few
hours and visited the Afro-American
Office Found the boys there as busy
as Gould be putting their brains on
paper, getting ready to get out the
paper for that week. Mrs. L. s.
Henry was one more busy woman.
Back to Washington, and this time
] had the pleasure of meeting Miss
Jeanette Carter, a lawyer, and a real
refined polished young woman full of
the holy ghost and the spirit of in
spiration to young womanhood- /
was delighted to meet her, and then
off for Richmond again.
Here l am in Richmond, Va, this
week, but / left there and made it to
Norfolk. They are getting ready
there to entertain the National Negro
Business League, and hope yoa- will
get there for it is going to be great

be accomplished there. Norfolk is
going to put the big pot in the little
one, and other great things are to be
done there for our people.
