BY Mrs. L. y. Hines

ner son, Mr.. IOlllVer Dainty refresh
ments were served to the delight of
all. During the evening Miss Alice
Fernely entertained the guests with
many beautiful selections at the piano,
while Mr.. Tolliver, a beautiful singer,
spiked the affair with several num-
bers. Mr.. Tolliver is a poet and has
devoted much time of his life in this
work. Following is one of his poems:
A PLEASANT EVENING WITH
FRIENDS
The first evening in February
Year of nineteen twenty-five,
We went calling on some friends of
ours,
Though the snow was deep we knew.
There in their comply little home
So clean you never could see a spot,
Things were so carefully arranged
One could never say they're not.
We talked of Prescott's latest storm,
California too as well,
And many other things of interest,
Too numerous to tell.
Now we must say the dinner,
Was splendid as could be,
Prepared by careful tidy hands,
AS one could plainly see.
And for our entertainment,
We had music, jokes and fun,
Thus twas very cheerful evening,
In the home of Joseph Anderson.
Many folks, both white and Colored,
are suffering with the flu and many
are confined to their beds. Over 10
of the teachers and more than hun.
dred pupils have been absent from
the school because of the disease. 1t
is hoped that this condition will soon
be relieved.
1t is hard to give names Of all of
the folks that are sick, but viii say
nearly every home has some one suf-
fering with colds and many with light
attacks of the flu.
The big carnival scheduled to be
staged by Mile High Chapter Tues
day night, was postponed and will be
staged later.
Mrs. Paris Tabron has been very
sick with a severe cold but is much
improved.
Prescott was graced with the dis
tinguished visitors, Bishop L. w
Kyes, wife and little son, and Elder
Clark, arriving here Thursday on the
noon train and left Saturday morning
at 2:30 a. m. for points in California
Their trip will include as far as Seat
tie and then they will return to Mon
rovia, California, and hold the mid
year conference the 22nd of March
AS usual the bishop was at his best
and delivered one of the greatest
sermons witnessed in Prescott-Or
Light-the spiritual. physical an6
moral light. Many hearts were made
glad and rejoiced in the great feast
: After his wonderful sermon he told
in brief way of his trip to Eccumuni
cal Conference, the proceedings, ant
in very modest way of the honors
betowed on him there. He preached one
of the two important sermons deliv
cred Sunday during the conference
the most important, in the afternoon
and presided over the Eccumunica
conference during the most import
ant part of the session when the ques
tion was discussed, "Interacial Rela
tionship-and the papers of Londor
commented on both sermons and the
dignity with which he presided Ht
told of his trip to several countries
during his tour and spoke of standing
in Rome, Italy, on the spot where st
Paul was beheaded and of the spring
of water that sprang up on the same
spot. OF the 400 churches and cath

and little son in the annex of tn,

quest of Mr.. and Mrs. Hines, Littl'

ward and blessed which was also
touching part of the services as Bah.
Nettie has recently been placed an,
adopted into the home of Mr. ant
