Notes of Negro Progress Bowling Green, Ky., has a Ne gro drug store, recently establish ed by A. J. Duncan, Ph. G. The Tacoma Grocery and Meat Company, composed of Negroes, operates a very large and success ful business at 612 West Street and 611 Indiana Avenue, Indiana polis. They maintain an auto de livery service. A local Negro Business League was recently organized at Padu cah, Ky-, with seventy-five mem bers. Every business man in the city became a member. A. W. Watkins, the undertaker there was unanimously elected presi dent. The $20,000 Colored Pythian Terapleat Evansville, Ind., will be ready for occupancy in De cember. The first, or ground, floor will have a motion picture theatre and store rooms, the sec ond floor will have office rooms and an auditorium, while the third floor will be fitted up with lodge rooms. Smith and Moore, Negro con tractors at Hopkinsville, Ky., have the contract for build ing the stone wall around the birthplace farm of Jefferson Davis in Christian County, Ky. The stone for the wall will be quarried from the quarries of these Negro contractors. On Indiana Avenue, Indianapo lis, within four blocks, there are seventy-two Negro business estab lishments all doing a good busi- * ness. The $60,000 Mosaic Temple at Little Rock, Ark., adds another splendid temple to the many erect ed by Negro fraternities. To John E. Bush, of Little Rock, the Mosaics are indebted for much of the success attending the efforts to raise the funds for this temple. A colored man in Paducah, Ky -, by the name of Lee, has just equip ped a fine, large shoe shining par lor in that city; It is thoroughly up to date, elegant in its appoint ments, and unequaled for equip ment and service by any place south of New York. The Negroes of Evansville, Ind-, are desirous of having a drug store established there. They guarantee it will pay well. Evansville has a total population of 7C,000 of which 10,000 are Ne groes. It has no Negro pharma cy, and one would do well there. The people would assist in fur nishing some of the financial backing necessary to establish a first-class pharmacy. The largest and most successful building contractor in Hopkins ville, Ky., is a colored man named Brooks. He has given the con tract for building the new build ings of the Kentucky State Nor mal School, and has practically all the big building contracts in that city. He is now erecting a new theatre there. One of the most successful rral estate dAßjors ; u Indianapolis is J. Walter Hodge. Mr., Hodge’s office is right down to date, and the volume of business annually transacted by him runs 'up ii.‘. the hundred thousands. J. E. Roberts, of Paducah, Ky., condos the only shoe re pair shops in that city, and em ploys five persons* So great is the amount of work coming to his shop that he is forced to work a night shift. G. P. Williams, a colored man of Cairo, 111., has been the suc cessful bidder for hauling the U. S., mail to and from the railroad station. Although being under bidded by white men the contract was given to him because of the superior service he gave and the high-grade equipment he main tained. Logan H. Stewart, one of the most successful colored real es tate dealers and builders in In diana, has recently established a factory for the manufacture of cement building blocks at Evans ville, Ind., and is operating it most successfully with an entire crew of Negro employees. Lemonade Yes! If you wish to make lemonade in these days of hard times, when to buy a dozen of the sour things will cost you more than you can spare, what are you going to do? Lemonade you want, and if you can’t buy the ordinary little sour balls at the high price the fruit dealers are asking for them, just call around and look in the window of our office and see our fine lemon tree- Its in full bloom and some of the fruit, there are seven on the tree, weigh as much as one pound and a fraction and will make enough ade for a party of about twenty five. Yes, you can buy the tree for its for sale. And,further, if oysters advance in price, call us and get an oyster plant from us, but we won’t guar antee that you can serve them in your stews.. Notice A. D. Jordan, formerly a mem ber and organizer of THE ROY AL FRATERNAL ASSOCIA TION, has been dismissed indefi nately on account of misrepresen tation and the misappropriation of funds. A. A.
