Within twenty-four hours, a girl

Strange that man. said to de

his own children with it brutality of
which no gorllln, orunse-outang or
chimpanzee was ever guilty.
A man that would his not allow any

will break the sensitive spirit of his
own child.
Modern crime turns an ancient
test upside down. In Exodus, L’Oih
Chapter. 8th verse, yon arc told
that tho Iniquity of the fathers is
visited upon the children “unto the
third and fourth generation."
Now the crime of the child is
visited upon the father. Albert
Loch, whose aoti killed the Franks
boy, ts fiend, MUed by sorrow and
disgrace. That should satisfy (he
bloodthirsty that demanded “some
body hanged.”
That unfortunate father died a
thousand deaths to atone for his

Hare you noticed how little men
aoem to think about their souls
while they are alive, and how much
they think about what will happen
to their bodies after they are dead?
A corpse left behind is no more Im
portant than a pair of wornout
shoes thrown aside. Yet men of
power, from the i’hnraoh that built
the first pyramid lo millionaire
Cone with Ida concrete grave, have
worried about their bodies.
The question interesting to one
thinking of death should be.
"Where do 1 go from here?" not
"Who is going to steal my body?”
George Bernard Shaw, self-ap

Thursday was probably the
feature day of the week. Miss
Alamae 'I odd, who had.been elect

Mrs. ,1. G, Evans assisted her in
working out many details and

the music. All deserve the very
warmest congratulation for this
splendid affair.
Salurday was “Negro ay and
thousands of colored people came
to enjoy the features and eeV

festivities which included a hi)
basket dinner and addresses by
some of the most noted colored
orators in the south.
The Reese-Hyrnan Lost of the
A lericati l egion conducted th«
fair with the assistance of Iht
Ladies Auxiliary, and both de
serve great praise for such t
signal success. Col. Jud Wiliioit
who planned the program, and
directed arrangements, proved
himself an incomparable fair
manager, and certainly to his in
dividual efforts are due a great
deal of the success. /
Financially the fair was al 1

having bought this year twenty
acres ot land and erected a large
exhibit building, was considera
bly in debt, but Mr. E. D. Ricket
son, finance officer, stated Wed

money enough to pay all obli
