WE COMMEND THOSE
PERSONS who again this year
took time out to PLACE A
WREATH ON THE GRAVE
OF THE LATE AND BELOW
ED PROF. w. L. LANIER
and as we read of this trip
to the cemetery by teachers,
James II. Woodson, Charles
H. Wilson, Mrs. (. E. Cald-
well, Mrs. P. M. Allen and
Principals L. B. Randolph,
John D. Rhodes and l.. B.
Buckley we began to remin-
ensce of those days, way back
the days of Prof. LANIER
and all his many contributions
to the educational system of
Jackson We thought again
of how in his own way, we feel
he was responsible for Jack
son getting its first Negro four
year high school Tired of
giving his commencement in
churches-Prof. Lanier sched-
uled one of the exercises to
be held on the grounds of
Smith Robinson Public School
We feel that he must
have given due consideration
to the weather forecast, for
just so soon as all the mem
bers of the Board of Educa-
ton had been seated on the
open platform, the rain began
to fall and did it rain?
Well enough, we feel, to make
the Board, decide that not an
other year would go by with
out a new High School with
an Auditorium where Com
mencement Exercises could be
held results was the or
iginal L A N / E r HIGH
SCHOOL located on Asst st.
OUR G o o d FRIEND,
alec (HOTEL) LEE on West
Church Street is confined to
bed this week and we join
with many friends everywhere
in wishing for her a speedy

On a visit to see her Wednes-
day, we saw that MR.. LEE
and the others at the Hotel,
including Mrs. Lees aunt, Mrs.
ANNIE BELL THOMPSON
were doing a very good job
of keeping things going so as
to give the same kind of SER
vice for which Edward Lee
Hotel is noted thruout the
country
OUR EP AND PRO
FOUND SYMPATHY is ex-
tended to church member, Mr..
