Some Paragraphs That Are Intended to Make You Smile. Bacon—Did you say he had col ored blood in His veins? Egbert—Yes; it’s as red as red can he. Hj]j—Do you remember the first cigar you ever smoked ? Jill—Oh, yes; it was the last. She—William Penn was a short, stubby man, they sav. He—Yes; \ think he was the orig inal stub l’enn. “An umbrella seems to lie any mail’s property,” remarked the ob server of events and things, “ex cepting, perhaps, the one who buys it.” Mr. Stvles —There must be a lot of gas wasted in this house in a month. Mrs. Styles —How do you know, dear? You haven’t got your gas hill this month yet? “No; but here’s a telephone bill for fifty extra messages.”—Yonkers Statesman. A Canny Canvasser. “Can 1 see the lady of the house?” asked the canvasser. “Yes,” she replied candidly, “you can.” “Madam, I’m selling a can open er which can’t be beat. It opens any can that can be opened by any can opener, and any can can be opened by this can opener that can be opened by any can opener, and if you can show me a can 1 can” — But this was where the door was slammed in his face. Plausible Enough. Ascum—How did you make out with that story you sent to the Klaptrap magazine ? Scribbler —Rejected. I fancy it was too clever. " Ascum—Too clever? Scribbler —Yes; I suppose they were afraid it would distract atten tion from their advertising pages.— Philadelphia Press. One Point of View. “Considering the work they do,” commented the citizen, “the 'polg'e are poorly paid.” “And yet,” replied the old lusji, “in considering the rate of pay we must also consider the expenses. Now, a policeman doesn’t have to buy either cigars or drinks if he had the right kind of beat.”—Chi cago Post. Taking a Cheerful View. “There’s one thing about the king’s recovery that encourages me,” said the man who was being taken to the hospital. “But his trouble wasn’t anything like yours,” replied the nurse. “I know it.

Industrial Education For Lessening Crime A great educational mass meet ing in the interest of Morris Brown college, Atlanta, was held at Bethel African Methodist Episco pal church Sunday last. A large crowd, probably 2,000 people, were present. Deep interest was man ifested on the part of the white people, representative white citi zens, being present. A large col lection was raised. Judge C. J. Lester made an in teresting talk on industrial educa tion as a means of lessening crime. He showed that the mass of crim inals came from the ranks of the indolent. President James M. Henderson spoke on ‘‘Education and Good Citizenship.” He said that ignorance and good citizenship are compatible. Ignorance pro duces duplicity and makes a man an easy prey in the hands of the unscrupulous politician. It engen ders crime and poverty and helps to swell the number of the nation’s prisoners and wards. A good citi zen is a helpful and productive factor in the community and nation. He has interest at stake. The friends of good government should see to it that the fullest opportunity is given to every child white or black, to obtain an edu cation as will best fit him for a good citizen. Rev. W. R. Branham, pastor of the Barnesville Methodist church, read an able paper full of facts and statistics on the value of friendly relations between the races. He spoke of the faithful ness of the negro in ante-bellum days. He encouraged the idea of such mass meetings. Bishop H. M. Turner preached at 11 o’clock, and in an interview said lie was pleased at the progress the negro is making educationally. The southern people are to be congratulated for their aid to negro education. Bishop Turner indorses Stinson’s sermons and speeches recently delivered iu the state. The meeting was under the management of Rev. R. D. Stin son, commissioner for Morris Brown college, who said among other things: “The object of these mass meetings is for a better mutual understanding between the races.” He reiterated the neces sity for complete divorcement between the law-abiding and the criminal element of his race. He complimented highly the southern white poeple for the interest and financial aid given to Morris Brown college. The meeting was regard ed by all a success and of profit to both races.

Fine Bank Showing In its first statement, published in this issue, after being in busi ness less tnan three months, the First National Bank of Barnes ville makes a splendid showing. Its deposits on July 16th. when the statement was called for, amounted to over $20,000.
