E. STUMP, WHO STILL
CLAIMS TO BE THE REGULAR
TRAVELLING CORRESPONDENT
FOR THE BROAD AK, STILL CON-
TINUES TO FOLLOW HIS SHADOW
AROUND IN TEXAS. HE WILL
BLOW INTO CHICAGO BEFORE
CHRISTMAS DAY.

and there are some visitors here, and
am sure that the people OF Chicago
will be delighted to know that the
Rev G. MI. Tanner pastor OF Greater
Bethel made many friends while in
Texas and they are declaring that he
is man for church honors, and he
will be voted for in General Confer
ence in Louisville, KY. next May, and
| am Of the opinion from what can
hear he wiz be elected with DR.. John
A. Gregg and some others. am told
that Rev. r. Al Grant, Of Florida will
be in that nnmber, and DR.. Fl. X.
Tooks, is seeing to it that this country
shall know about the son Of Florida,
DIR. Grant.
Rev. +. Grant Snelson was here from
Memphis, and he is fixing up his
fences and getting ready to serve the
rest Of his days in Africa. He IS anx-
ious to take the place now held by
Bishop w. Sampson Brooks, and per-
NIT Bishop Brooks to have a home
district.
Foremost in the minds Of all African
Methodists today is the approaching
general conference and if you want to
get from them good conversation
start to talking about 1t, and they arc
reading about it as well. Revs. s. d.
Butler. who is called to the throne,
and others who have heard the call
who were here are Reys. H. a. Carr,
P. c. Hunt, G. B. Young, w. Z. Nc
Grew, and / think there were others.
1t is conceded by the state that all
will be behind DR.. S. J. Johnson, and
he will likely walk in as indicated by
DIR. John Harmon, Of Atlanta, Ga,
who is here looking after the Southern
Christian Recorder, but it has been
suggested that attention be given to
the Western Christian Recorder that
DR.. Harmon be elected and he locate
in Chicago with ii, aud let il have
home in Greater Bethel This is con-
sidered good thing to do, and DR..
Harmon is one Of the most writingest
men in the whole A. M. E. church.
This is one more busy city or town,
and ! am proud to inform you that my
people are doing well. They believe
in doing things. | find drygoods
store, and here is located the Farmers
and Citizens Bank, a strong institu-
ton, with Or. E. NJ. Griggs, president,
and some strong vice-president. and
I was very much impressed with B. r.
White, the cashier, who is politeness
in all that it goes to make politeness,
and He is making friends from friend
shipville or some other place. He u
a well trained business man. The
bank is capitalized at $4,000, and
they are doing business, believe me.
| was informed that the collections
this year had been more than any
time in the previous history They
are going to increase the capital stock
and make il State Guaranty Bank.
Let the good work 60 on.

millinery shop Of Mrs. Fl. L. Roberts.
the wife Of DR.. w. r. Roberts, and
well trained woman. was glad to
note how our people are having her
