HERMAN PERRY SENDS
$3.50 To White MANS
CHAMBER OF COMM'CE
preston News service)

ATLANTA, Ga, Dec. 8-To show
the interest Of Negroes here in the
upbuilding of Atlanta, Heman E. Per-
ry, directing head OF the Service Com
pany, Standard Life Insurance Com
pany and the Citizens Trust Company,
gave a check for $25O.0O to the Atlanta
Chamber of Commerce last Monday,
making it plain in letter of transmit
tai that this check was simply token
of expression of the Negroes interest
in the welfare and growth of Atlanta.
Walter O. Foote, president of the
Chamber of Commerce, commenting
on the contribution from Mr. Perry,
says: "Mr. Perry is one of the best
educated Negroes in Atlanta. He is
the directing head Of The Service
Company, the Standard Life Insur-
ance Company and the Citizens Trust
Company, all of which are owned by
Negro stockholders. He has extensive
dealings with white citizens here and
stands nigh with them
"The chamber of commerce has no
colored members This fact was thor
oughly understood by Mr. Perry in
making the contribution. He neither
asked nor made a bid for member
ship, but sent the contribution as an
expression of interest 1t is one of
the most highly appreciated contribu-
tions the chamber has received from
any source"

And without looking back to see
the result of his ultimatum, Fairchild
rose, strobe to the door, unlocked it,
and stamped down the hall He had
taken snap judgment, but in his heart,
he felt that he was right. What was
more, he was as sure as he was sure
of life itself that Anita Richmond
had not arranged the interview and
did not even know of it, One streak
ing name was fitting through Fair
child's brain and causing it to seethe
with anger. Cleverly concealed though
the plan might have been, nicely ar
ranged and carefully planted, to Rob
ert Fairchild 1t all stood out plainly
and clearly-the Rodaines!
And yet why? 1siat Cne little word
halted Fairchild as he left the eleva-
tor. Why? What did they know
about the Blue Poppy mine. when
neither he nor Harry had any idea of
what the future might hold for them
there? That day in court Rodaine
had said that the Blue Poppy mine
was good property and that it was
worth every cent of the value which
had been placed ON it. How did he
know? And why?
Suppose that it had been Anita
Richmond after all who had arranged
this? 1t was logical in way Maurice
Rodaine was the one man who could
give direct evidence against Harry as
che man VINO had held up the Old
Times dance, and Anita now was en-
gagged to marry him. Judge Richmond
had been a friend of Thornton Fair
child; could it have been possible that
this friendship might have entailed
the telling Of secrets which had not
been related to anyone elseF TIE
matter of the finding of the skeleton
could be handled easily. Fairchild
saw, through Maurice Rodaine. One
word from him 10 his father could
change the story of Crazy Laura and
make it, on the second telling, only
the Numbering tale of an insane
herb-gathering woman. Anita could
have arranged it, and Anita might
have arranged it. Yet, why should
she have gone through this procedure
TO reach him? Why had she not gone
to Farrell with the proposition-to a
man whom she knew Fairchild trust
ed, instead Of to a greasy, hand-rub.
bing shyster? And besides
But the question was past answer
ing now. Fairchild had made his de-
cision, and he had told the lawyer
where to go. But one thing was GER
tain: the Blue Poppy mine was worth
money. Once before an offer had
come. and now that he thought of it,
Fairchild felt almost certain that 1t
had been from the same source. That
was for fifty thousand dollars. Why
should the value have now jumped to
four times its original figures? 1t was
more than the adventurer could en-
compass; he sought to dismiss it ALL

Beyond the gates of Paradise, those
pearly gates ajar,
There is a fair and peaceful land,
where happy angels are;
They walk upon its streets of gold,
thru fields of living green,
And gaze upon it's jasper walls, no
mortal eye hath seen.
And sweet refrain and golden harps,
ring out in chorus there,
While heavenly music ever floats
upon its balmy air;
No storm or tempest ever breaks up
on it's cloudless skies,
No aching hearts, or tears; beyond the
Gates of Paradise.
Beyond the Gates of Paradise, a well
come waits for thee,
Sweet land of rest, where weary hearts
from care and toll are free;
Beyond the Gates of Paradise. they
tell of new found joys,
And happy unions wait beyond the
Gates of Paradise.

OF matrlmOny MONDAY, November ~,
by Rev. w. E. Youngblood. Fortunate
ly, the bride was born in Prescott, and
all of her early years were spent in
Prescott. The many friends are very
appreciative of her, and hope that her
matrimonial career will be happy and
filled with blessings. Her husband is
the son of DR.. Hilbert, and while he
is young, it is hoped that together they
may accomplish wonderful things.
Their parents, Rev. and Mrs. w. E.
Youngblood and DR.. and Mrs. Hilbert
feel proud of them, and it is the hope
of their many friends that their lives
may be filled with constant and un-
expected happiness.
Miss Helen Harper Vance had a
wonderful visit with her parents and
her many friends were very appreci-
ative of her, as usual. Her wonder
full qualifications distinguish her from
many of our race, and it is the Pres
colt people that know this. She is
loved by all of the Prescott folks.
Miss Beulah Morrow, former teach
er at Mesa, is teaching again in the
Marshall High School with larger
salary. She was appointed teacher Of
Domestic Art at Prairie View State
Normal, but refused because she was
satisfied at Marshall, and did not deem
the change necessary. She is grateful,
however, for the consideration by the
Texas State Board of Education.
