' o --- GEMENT OE ONE OF THE POPULAR PHI DELTA ^ MEMBERS ANNOUNCED The table was beautifully decorated. The centerpiece consisted of the choic est fruits artistically arranged. The Phi Delta girls were the guests of one of their members. Miss Wilmena Wat son, at her residence, 2925 Grant street. They filed in and took their places around the hospitable table and under the pleasing glow of the lights. One of them proceeded to investigate what looked like place cards that peeked out here and there beneath the heavy grape clusters which were a part of the centerpiece. And this is what the Phi Delta girls read when the innocent appearing cards were in vestigated : "Mr. and Mrs. W. B. Watson an nounce the engagement of their daughter, Wilmina, to Mr. Wade Hampton Green." Exclamations, interrogations, con gratulations filled the aid. Eating was forgotten and peace was not estab lished until the information was ob tained that the big event would take place about the middle of December. Duirng one of the pleasantest even ings the club has ever spent, discus sion brought eut the fact that all the presidents of the club have married. Immediately all the unmarried mem bers of the club began campaigning for the office that seems to bring such coveted results. N. A. A. C. P.

With this gavel I extend to the newly-elected president, Mrs. Jessie Hale Moss, and her executive committee my best wishes. There should be the greatest harmony be tween the president and the executive committee and with the slate as elect ed, there is every reason for believing that harmony and identity of interest will prevail.” Mrs. Jessie Hale Moss then took the chair and urged a large attendance the following Sunday, promising the asso ciation that the newly-elected presi dent would make her address and out line her policies on that occasion. The branch adjourned to meet next Sunday afternoon at St. John's A. M. E. church. The Daughters of Bethel gave a sup per November 18th at the home of Mrs. Anna Banks, 924 North Twentieth street. It was a grand success finan cially, and the committee wishes to thank all those who so kindly helped to make It so. HIMNESS TRAINING FOR NEGROES Without a sufficient number of well trained Negro men and women it is impossible for the business enter prises now owned and operated by progressively efficient Negroes, to meet keen competition and at the same time to make substantial ad vancement. It is easier to get capital than it is to get efficient employes. Wherever a Negro Is doing a good standard business, we should patron ize him. We should not, however, patronize an enterprise merely be cause it is owned and operated by a Negro, but the high standard of the business should invite and warrant our patronage. When we patronize Negro business enterprises we not only supply our selves with the necessaries, the im mediate wants in life; but we help to encourage and build up enterprises that are providing lucrative employ ment of high grade for an immense arm yof Negro men and women for whom it w'ould be impossible to se cure a similar grade of employment elsewhere. Such patronage increas faith in and respect for ourselves, and causes us to believe in the work we are doing.—Southern Workman. NEGRO DOCTOR, MECHANO I H E R A PINT KECO >1ME N DED BY WHITE MAN Mr. A. Theodore, Home Builder. Real Estate and Insurance, a well known and popular business man of this city, takes this opportunity in recommend ing to the public Dr. J. L. Green, Mechano-Therapist as a scientific and competent practitioner In handling human ailments. "For two years or more I had been suffering with a complication of dis- { eases. 1 had gone to Excelsior : Springs. Mo., ana were treated for three weeks with but slight benefit. And was contemplating going away | gain somewhere in search of health. But was told about Dr. Green and his wonderful success in handling com plicated cases, I at once called upon him and had him diagnose my case and went under his treatment and '■are. I commenced to improve from the first treatment, and felt that I was going to get well. I now feel as well as ever, after taking only fifteen treatments. I shall now have Dr. Green give me about two treatments each week for a while. I am sure to *ake a few of these treatments occa sionally will defeat old age many years and keep one in health and vigor. ‘‘Phone him, Webster 3694, when you need expert aid In illness.

ATTORNEY SCRUGGS WINS LEGAL VICTORY Andrew Webb Accused of Assaulting Twelve-Year-Old Girl With Intent to do Great Bodily Harm is Ac quitted by Jury in District Court. In the face of the adverse public sentiment which obtains in Omaha at this time against Negroes accused of crime against white women and girls, Attorney Amos P. Scruggs scored a great victory Monday before Judge Sears in the district court, when a juty after twenty minutes delibera tion brought in a verdict of acquittal for his client, Andrew Webb, who was accused of entering the residence of Mr. Larson, 3329 Ohio street, about 5 o'clock in the afternoon of August 8, trying, gagging and striking his twelve-year-old daughter and ran sacking the house for money and L'b erty bonds. Margaret Larson who, in strugglLig with the robber, tore a ’ andkerchief from his face, identified Webb, who has been employed fo. three years in a laundry in different section of the city and on the day i" question stopped work at 4 o’clock, as the man. Several witnesses testified that Webb was at his home, 814 North Nineteenth street, at the time th" crime was committed. Scruggs in he argument contended that industrious men like Webb’s employer testified the accused was are not the disrep utables who are committing such de testable crimes. The same day Attorney E. F. More arty secured a verdict of acquittal fo another colored man. Pierce, who wa held for highway robbery. The jury in this case was out only fifteen min utes. These are the first two cases with in a year in which Negroes accused of felonies against whites have been acquitted. When the times are con sidered, these are signal victories.

Civilization was horn In the East For ages letters, art, religion flowed westward from Asia. When Europe was n wilderness, peopled only with savage, wandering tribes, learning and government flourished beyond the Dar danelles. From Armenia, Syria and Persia enme both the Jewish and the Christian religions, the alphabet and much of science. Long since the tide turned. Civilization among these east ern peoples began to ebb, and they have slipped far back toward their pastoral days. Smoke John Ruskin &c Cigar. Big gest and Best-—Adv. ■22IE2221ESZSSiSE?: ?
