Cemetery Association
Is Asking the Aid and
Cooperatio4 OF Our
Citizens And Friends

The Cemetery Association, under
the leadership of DR.. L. F, Brooks,
M. D., of this city, has gotten under
way again to render to the com
munity and Colored citizens the very
fine service of identifying the
cemeteries and keeping the graves
of our honored deceased clean. 1t is
very much hoped that those who
have cooperated so genuinely in the
past will attend all of the meetings
and that new members will enroll to
help promote this service in the life
of our people in thjs city.
Your continued cooperation is
earnestly solicited and the hope IS
that the unstinted faith, loyalty and
assistance of the past will be excelled
by what we do in this direction in
the future. We are our brothers
keeper, even our honored dead. And
it does seem more than neglectful
and careless that under the spell of
sorrow and gloom, we trudge our
way to graves of ours and other
loved ones, deposit their bodies far
beneath the cluster Of floral designs,
wreaths and beauty to return home
and sit supinely by and watch the
florals die and that sacred grave be-
come tomb enshrouded by tie vines,
thorns, thistles, weeds, and even
bushes. Then the body that we de-
post underneath garb of beauty
soon becomes a wilderness where the
living almost fear to tread. 1t should
not be the spirit of the living to
leave the responsibility of keeping
clean the cemetery to those only who
have put into it their dead, neither
should the cemeteries be attempted
to be kept clean by people going out
for a holiday celebration and dinner
feast where much irreverence and
disregard must surely be the reward
when such resorts to care for honor
deceased are aimed at. But rather.
there should be a systematical
method from which to proceed that
will add dignity and reverence to the
cause which so greatly challenges us.
80 the Cemetery Association offers
this method. Will you enroll, at
tend the meetings, subscribe to the
solicitors and play well your part in
achieving this most worthy undertake
ing? The Cemetery Association has
as its President DR.. Brooks; Seere-
tary Mrs. Sadie Jones; Treasurer.
Mrs. NJ. NJ. Cullum; Financial Secre-
tary, Mrs. Kittie Matthews, the wife
of the late DR.. r. B. Matthews, who
because Of his outstanding service as
a physician, would like to also serve
her community in some undertaking
that is well worth while. Mrs. Mat
thews added to the organization will
reflect great credit to the work.

''V" FOR VICTORY CHURCH
PROGRAM

IhOOhAM
On the Fourth Sunday in June, the
Good Hope and Pleasant Grove Cir
cult of Russell, Mississippi are plann-
ing to stage a w" for Victory
Church Claims drive. The ending
will come in the following program:
A "V'' for Victory sermon at three
o'clock p. M, at Good Hope Church,
and at Pleasant Grove at 1890. Fol-
lowing both services, the officers
will call for the reports from the
Glass Leaders who have promised to
do their best in this effort to collect
from their classes the balance of
General Funds and Budget. Since
the Circuits balance is such a small
amount, the entire personnel sees no
reason for failure in this drive. Fol-
lowing the reports, there will be a
march by the members, officers and
pastor, all wearing badges in the
form of the letter "V" which means
Victory. This word will be the en-
blem around which everything will re-
volve' Preaching, Praying, Hoping,
Singing, Eating and paying. Come
and go with us and we will do thee
good.
