GOD is A LIVING GOD
PREPARE TO LIVE RIGHT
AND YOU WILL DIE RIGHT

You never try to train a pig
You only grow him large enough
to kill
A very few. families are training
their children
It's against most mothers will.
Let my child have his way
Thousands of mothers will yell
No training they will give the child
Just growing him up for He'll.
A disease of sin is from land to
land
Spreading greater every day
A very few mothers are training
their children
They are allowing them to have
their way.
No more rod applied on the child
Yet the Bible says do so
When you fail to obey the will of
God
Where do you expect to go.
Must | tell you or must | not
Gods word it tells me so
When you fail to obey the word
of God
He'll is the place you will go.

Nathan Lewis and wife, Teona,

visited some former Jacksonians.
They reported very pleasant
visit with Win (BilD Tillman and
family. Bill worked at the Ed

years.
We received word that the Fizer
boys, James and John, are living
in the Motor City. Many of you
will remember these boys. They
came north to Jackson from the
vicinity of Raymond, and worked
at the Edwards Hotel James and
John rose to great social heights
in the Capital City and caused
many broken hearts among the
young ladies.

many more young men to do the
same. Upon being discharged
from the army these fellows went
out into the world to make their
living, but they found the com
petition too keen for them. Since
they had nothing to work with
except a pair of unskilled hands,
we find that all profit by this

That most pick pockets, pick

Overcoats shield pockets.
That the divorce rate is lowest

that the needles have too little

excuse of 'incompatibility'? Don't
ask me, / am not a doctor.
That what so often happens by
accident, may someday be ac-
eomplished by intent. So say
those fellows who make a study
of emotions.
That according to scientists and
philosophers, there is no such u
thing as perfection. / am Won
dering how the word perfect ever
got into the dictionary anyway.
That mental specialists tells

That there is a move on by de-

| Preparation for Negro History
Week, in early February, presents
pretty good occasion for White
America, and some Negro Ameri-

discover some of the distorted
views of the role the Negro played

1t is surprising that History has
been so bias in it's compilation of
records of the Negro. IN the his

standing white historians, there is
always a tendency to record the

conclude from the reading of a

Negro as having been content to
