Rev. C. B. Wheeler, Pastor
&Che Sisters and Brothers are
running a close race in the rally
now in progress at Mt. Olivet. The
sisters led the brothers by less than
one dollar. Sister Henrietta Sim
mons is determined to lead her
forces to the front. Brother Boyd
Collins is trying desperately to raj
" his forces in an effort to over
take the sisters. Mt. Olivet adopted
the budget plan presented to the
church by the budget committee at
it's last meeting. Great things are
expected from the clubs and auxili-
aries that are included in the budg-
ct plan. On next Tuesday eve
ming, at 8 p. M, at the church, the
choir will be presented in its first
musical concert of the year. The
public is invited to attend this
great musical treat. Mother Louise
Wilson was full of smiles on last
Sunday when she approached the
Supt. of the Cradle Roll Dept. of
the Sunday School and said, 81
have another baby for you to en-
roll" The superintendent turned
listening ear to find that Sister
Wilson was the grandmother of
ten-pound baby boy. We are glad
to have Mr.. and Mrs. Charlie Nc
Neal enroll their latest addition
with Mt. Olivet Sunday School. The
Deaconesses have charge of the
Prayer Meeting this month. Won't
you join US for an hour of prayer
each Wednesday night at 8 p. M?
We will be glad to have you wor-
ship with us. We are glad to hear
of Sister Golden and Sister Nash
improving. Sister Sallie Alexan-
der's condition remains unchanged.

EMANCIPATION PROCLAMA-
TON

TION
That on the first day of Janu-
airy, in the year of our Lord, one
thousand eight hundred and sixty
three, all persons held as slaves
within any State, or designated
part Of State, the people whereof
shall be in rebellion against the
United States, shall be thencefOrth
and forever free, and the Execu-
tive Government of the United
States, including the military and
naval officers thereof, will recOg-
nize and maintain the freedom of
such persons, or any of them, in
any efforts they may make for
their actual freedom :.
The Proclamation was issued as
a war measure and emancipated g.
120,515 slaves; $4,000 SLAVES
WERE NOT AFFECTED BY THE
ABOVE PROVISIONS.
HAIR-JANUARY, 1856
Hair of the different races are
divided into three classes or the
hair reveals three fundamental
types-the round or leiotrichous,
the oval or cymotrichous and the
fiat or ulotrichous. Round hair is
straight or course-oval hair tends
to be curly-flat hair is kinky or
woody.
Doctors Newton and Conner, of
Ashley county, Arkansas, in 1855,
stated that Psychologists are of the
opinion that in the head of the
mulatto there is some Negro hair
and some white hair and from gen.
Grafton to generation the Negro
hair never runs out.
The doctors were also of the
opinion that the Negro hair would
run out before it passed the Sec
ond generation-it may in the third
generation have waves. The doc
tors further stated that the hair
never becomes straight until after
the third descent from the Negro,
from either the fathers or mothers
side.
(f anybody asks about this
columnist's hair, tell them it's
ulotrichous.)

claims he and an associate have
found means of boosting the al

was made possible by using beryl,
a metal derived from the orc
beryllium. instead of aluminium on
pistons and superchargers.
