BY CLEOPATRA CAMPBELL

Just after typical mid-spring weather when the peo
pie of the south beginning to resign themselves to
of those mild winters turning the SOIL making prepar
atons for early gardens going shopping for their
first Spring toggery-Nature without any warning what
had planned and shopped to dress the earth in it's
most beautiful garment-snow
Of all designers must admit that Nature is the
most artistic and perfect When tread the soft
white carpet beneath feet the most stupid of
but wish for mind and pen of poet that could
pour expressions in words of beauty equal that
which eyes behed during the month of January when
of the greatest the history of the south fell
for than thirty hours and covered the earth to
depth of than twelve inches in pure whiteness
Falling quietly, the flakes arranged themselves
seemingly in such orderly and npreudced manner, not
shrub left untouched and the shabbiest
of settlements converted into of perfect
beauty
Following the second day of the snow, if in
to the kodakers prayers the sky perfect blue and

of the scenery.
Did we pause to consider whether it meant anything
more to us than time to play SNOWFALL ride seghs
and make kodak snaps? Some of thought beyond those

a doubt overtaken during the year 1885 and made

Does our conduct merit such wonderful blessings as

SHORT TALK BY THE SUPREME LECTURER,
CLUSTER L. JOHNSON.

In my last talk reminding the new Negro OF
the changing conditions OF the world today; and as re-
suit the many responsibilities that he must shoulder and
perplexing problems that he must solve In this issue
have chosen to discuss one way Of aiding in solving
our problems. That way is consolidating our gains.
IF the Negro would hold every inch of ground that
he gains The day would not be far distant when his dreams
of great independent Race would be realized Perhaps
had better explain the meaning of consolidating our
gains In times of troops rush on the enemy trenches
drive them cut and take possession hey quickly remove
the barbed wire and sandbag from the side that was FAC
ing them and put them where they face the enemy
who have retreated to their second line OF defense
They are in position ward off any counter attack
that the enemy might make and then to it that they
are never driven back from the position.
Thus army advances its line and captures territory
ards run into miles and of miles and the enemy IS
pushed farther and farther back But there must be
little etreang if victory to be theirs TO marshal your
resources to hold your gains-thats consolidation
When build an insurance company to give protec-
ton and employment to people; and in few years
we this close its doors to open another is mere
prod iugality But when we build and then build an
other and keep them all open then making some
is the Citizens League for Fair Play me- organized in
Harlem; and the committee Of 100 organized IN MISSISSIPPI
p the first having its objective the opening up of
dcravenue of employment for Negroes in New ork and
the latter to after the general welfare Of the Negro
in Mississippi It is be hoped that in 1886 these two
will only be in existence but others OF
their kind will be founded Such will be consolidating
our gains
