walk nobly, stride bravely, though

BELIEVE IN IT
During the year 1899 Detroit saw
what has been analysed by many
as the awakening of the great
masses of Negroes in this city. The
presentation of various nationally
known figures to capacity audiences
has met with hearty approval and
conscientious support from the
group in question.
1t has made many OF US say anew
that we believe in the ability OF the
Negro to arise and achieve. Hope has
replaced despair and new courage
seems to have been born within us
as 1910 enters the scene of action.
l am glad that it can be truthfully
said, 81 believe in it." Do you?

INTERESTING "REMINISCENCES
BY ACRELIA SCOTT POWER

The following article written by
Eleanor Bailey Johnson, which ap-
peared last month in the Zanes-
vile News, is of much local inter-
est:
Sun shone brightly on the rough
road leading down the river from
Malta. 1t was a day in early spring,
April Is, 1865. The recent heavy
Grains had ceased and the whole
countryside was out getting ready
for spring plowing and cleaning up
the underbrush from the riverbank.
No, not all the country side, for
many farmers had hitched their
horses or gone on foot into the
neighboring towns of Malta and Nc
Connelsville, to see what all the eX-
citement was about.
Since early dawn the bells in the
two towns had been tolling from
the church belfries.
What could it be? Just the week
before there had been mammoth
celebration over Lees surrender to
Grant. Word had been received
that the men would soon be home
from the southern battlefields. With
gan raiders right at their very door
TO talk over, in thankful relief that
no one they knew had come TO
harm, the men and women in the
farm houses scattered through the
Muskingum valley had accepted the
news of the end of the war with
rejoicing and turned to their nor
NAL activities with right good will.
The bells tolled mournfully. The
echoes of the solemn sounds drifted
on the April wind into the open Win
dows and over the fields by the riv-
er.
A little girl ran swiftly down the
road. Soon she saw, ahead Of her,
the one she was seeking.
Father she called breathless-
1y, Father waltz
The man who was walking down
the road with his hands in his pock-
cts whistling, stopped and greeted
her with a smile.
what is it, daughter?' he asked
kindly, when she had come up to
him. her face red with excitement
and running.
Father, Mr.. Lincoln is dead!
That is why the bells are ringing.
We just heard He was killed last
might while he was looking at a
play"
Father, aren't you glad?"
The man stood still. Shock and

Then quick as lightning he took off

That child celebrated her eighty
ninth birthday yesterday but the
events of the day are as vivid to her
as if it were an hour ago.
She is Mrs. Aurelia Power, 1925
Ridge avenue, the widow of Ben
jamin Power and her father was
Alvin Scott.
Aurelia Scott Power was born
April 20, 1851, at farm home on
the Muskingum river six miles be-
low Malta. When she was ten
months old her mother died and
she was taken to raise by her
grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. David
Miller who lived on the river, a
mile above Gaysport. This is really
an Up and Down the River" story!
In 1852, when the little baby was
a year old, her father joined a par
ty of men from Morgan county, who
went west to stake land and explore
the country There were about 35
men in the party. West of the Mis-
sissippi, the party split into two
parts. One headed for New Mexico
and the other for California. Alvin
Scott prospected in the territory of
Oregon, which was later made into
the states of California and Ore
gon. He struck gold and prospered.
Mrs Power has in her possession
an old letter dated September II
1853, written by her father to her
grandfather.
In it he tells of prospecting and
says: "If | do not make money here
it will be because l have not tried.
Ny interest in the Spring Creek
Water company is valued at 1000.
(In addition to the search for gold
he was involved in an irrigation
plan for which he and the other
men were digging ditches).

bit He did not like the people
