protest against the new wave Of

One of the greatest spirituals
revival meetings ever held in Staun,
ton closed Wednesday night at Al,
len A. M. E. Church. The meeting
has been in progress since October
30 and ran through November 18th
1t was carried on by Mrs. A. L. Da'
Wis of Cincinnati Ohio. She was as.
! sisted by Mrs. A. H. Davis a gospeI
singer and pianist. The meeting has
drawn a crowded church each night
since its opening.
| Mrs. Davis has preached gospe!
! stirring m that have attracted
| the attention of the entire city
Many have been brought into the
church from sinners and many re-
claimed. Mrs. Davis came to Staun'
ton under a glare of publicity in pla-
/ bards, saying, "The Lord wants to
save Stanton. Both white and col
| ored have flocked to the church each
| night and it was not a strange sight
| to see both white men and women
conmessing in this Negro Church.
Mrs. Davis is an acknowledged,
leading evangelist and it is said that
she further made good her reputa-
! ton here as a gospel preacher by
her soul stirring sermons. The
| Allen A. M. E. Church is pastored
by the Rev. W. E. Clapp. Rev. Clapp
came to this city this year from

with success. Rev. DR.. F. A. Seator
is the presiding Elder of this dis
trict and the church is in the Epis,
copal district of the Right Rev. A
l.. Gaines of Baltimore.
During the revival that has just
ended the church has gained in mem.
ebrship as has no other church OF
the city. One of the high points OF
| the revival was that money was
kept in the background and saving

night was given to the evangelist
and n night to the singer and

is attributed much to this feature

Number Players Win $500
In One Day In Staunt0n

The ever popular Numbers" got
caught in this mans town last week
it is alleged by those who claim to
know. From all reports the Banker
was set back just about $500 last
week when about five or six people
of this city played 004. According to
reports of the streets and from the
same source of information it is
claimed that Harrisburg players al
so reaped a little harvest. They were
payed it is said.
This is by far the largest aount
of money ever to be taken in by
Staunton players since the new
craze hit the Valley last year. 1t is
said however that Staunton players
now play around thirty dollars a
day, which averages about ninety
dollars a week when a holiday is not
listed. One of the big reasons that
Staunton has become good Number
territory is sal dto be sustained by
the fact that the hackers who now
sponsor the game pay off promptly.
Staunton, Winchester and Harrison
buhrg are the only towns it is said
that have taken on to the "Num-
bers." Charlottesville, Clifton Forge,
Covington, Wrightsville, all have had
them at one time or another. But,
like it was at one time in Staunton,
the Bankers did not pay off, the
fore the game did not prosper.

you may look for a real battle. The
contest is still open for contestants,
all you have to do is to clip out the
coupon on the bottom of this page
and nominate some n or yourself
and get into the race
The battle for subscriptions this
year will be comparatively easy as
to what the contest has been, as
here will be no minimum. The lead
er will get the Radio whether he has
ten or ten million votes. We have
heard from many of the candidates,
who show much ENTHUSIASM. Mrs.
Ackward of H~arrisonburg, says, she
hopes to hold all of the subscribers
of last year and more besides. Nine.
Mildred Bess of L%ewisburg declares
she will be heard from before the
smoke is all cleared away. This is
tenor of all the echoes from the
field. Many of them realize that this
year has been the worst in the his
tory of the paper and are giving
their services as a mark of appre-
citation to publishers of the paper as
they have fought so hard to keep it
live. 1t certainly must be given more
than a passing thought when one
stops to note that Staunton is the
only town in the two cities of its
! size that has a newspaper. Danville,
| Roanoke, Lynchburg in Virginia,
| Charleston, Huntington, C~larksburg,
i, Wheeling in West Virginia all have
much larger populations than Staun-
ton yet they have no Negro News
paper.
Not only does this show great CO.
| operation from the colored people Of
our territory but it also shows the
fine spirit of cooperation that is CIV
en- the paper by the white firms of
the city. This is the reason we must
always be charging and holding our
| circulation-It is the advertising
that keeps you from paying only a
fraction of the cost of your paper.
The Contest starting this week
ends the week befor Christmas. This
allows all PRISONS winning a prize to
get the prize in ample time for
Christmas as well as have the money
you may earn at spare times for
