For Negroes

Thomasville, Ga, May IL CAMP
Negroes here, applying for work with
the reforestation employees under the
Roosevelt plan, are being told: We
have as yet received no Instructions
for registering colored men for re-
forestation."
There are sixty-seven places avail
able for yong men from Thomas county,
of which Thomasville is the county
seat. Mrs E. L. McKinnon, probation
officer, who has charge of the relief
work for the county, gives no other
information than that quoted above.
However the reporter was present. n
her Office when bright young man
Negro asked to be registered for
the forest work At the same time he
heard the relief chairman refuse the
request of very old and decrepit Ne
gro man for food for himself and
family
Neither county officials nor chamber
of commerce principals could be rea-
relief status of the Negro in Thomas

When asked where do most Negroes
working in that county derive their

4 REGRETTABYE OVERSIGHT
In getting out the list of our adj
vertisers i'm last weeks issue of the
Echo. We failed to include two of
our advertisers namely: George New
ton, the Halter, and the Universal
Life insurance Company. These ad-
vertisers appeared on our circulars
that were scattered all over the city.
However, they were not in the regular
list of advertisers in the Echo.
GEORGE NEWTON THE HALTER
The Weekly Echo can highly re-
commend George Newton the Halter
to our people. This business firm
renders dependable service. When one
/ walks in the office, he is met with a
courteous smile and kind What can
do for your" For long time our
people have desired recognition for
their money. They have not looked
/ for anything special, neither have they
! expected that anyone should go cut
! of the way" in rendering courteous
service. All they have desired was
the same courtesy for their money as
anyone else would expect. If you

UNIVERSAL LIFE INSURANCE co.
Sometime ago, we wrote an article
with reference to the Universal Life
Insuranc Company. This Company is
one of the most dependable Insurance
Companies operated by our group. Mr.
j. H. Bell Manager with splendid
corps of agents togethers with his
Office clerk seem to be doing their
best to render dependable service 10
our people.
We are thoroughly convinced that
every Negro in Meridian should do his
best to patronize this Company, if not
directly, do it indirectly. The more
polcyholders theyc an carry, the more
employment they give ito our people.
DISSATISFACTION
We know there are times that dis
satisfaction arise, probably throug
policyholders and agents, but let 1t
be remembered that this is true in all
businesses. Therefore, my suggestion
would be, go to the office of the I'm
iversal Life Insurance Company, loea-
ted in the Jno S. Beal Building on 18th
Avenue between Fifth & Sixth Streets,
and talk with the manager, Mr.. Bell.
l think you will find Mr.. Bell to be
courteous and willing to adjust what
ever differences that might exist Ia
sure with the Universal Life Insurance
Company
