October l3, was designated as
Negro Day at the Four States

welcome by the Far manage

The chief attractions for Ne
gro day We're the parade and

Pemberton high school band,
Negro Chamber of Commerce,
Negro Business League, the Of
fetal car of the Negro division

i've floats of the Washington

others. The parade was esti-
mated at being more than
mile long through the down
town streets 1t is reputed to
be the best ever had in Tex
arkana. John Wainwright was
the parade director
Due to some misunderstanding
the famous Stepin-Fetchet who
was programmed at the Fair
From 400 800 p. m. did not
arrive until 8:l5 and too late
to appear, which, of course, was
to the disappointment of hun
dreds of people who had paid
to see him but were refunded
their monies.
Now on behalf of the organi-
cation of the Negro division of
the Four States Fair Associa-
ton and the colored population,
we take this method of thanking
Fair officials for their invitation
and very fine consideration for
us, also the Windle Brothers
who donated horses for our
parade and police officer, Earl
Henderson, who donated his
horse.

No Bets
In The BelfrY

THE ringing Of church
bells is an ancient and an
nonorcd vocation in Eng
land. The men who call
their neighbors 10 worship
usually serve a long appren.
ticeship and make a strict
ritual of their skilful rope
pulling. Most Of them are
devout Christians.
This attitude on the part
Of the gentlemen who musi-
Cally summon their fellow
men 10 their devotions ex-
plains an amusing item that
appeared in the London
newspapers the other day.
The little piece told the
reading public that the Sails
bury Diocesan Guild Of Bell
Ringers had voted against a
competition among church
bell ringers because il was
possible that the contest
might lead 10 an occasional
wager on the outcome.
