South Side Notes Mrs. Sara Mitchell of La Junta, Col., who has been here visiting her brother-in-law and family, left last Thursday for her home. Enroute home she will visit relatives and friends in Oklahoma. Master Tommy Dooley of 4429 So. 26th street, who went to St. Joseph’s hospital about three weeks ago for appendicitis, is slowly improving but is unable to leave the hospital yet. Mrs. Anna Dederick, of 4512 J street, gave a stag party for Mr. J. Nuttingham of New York City at her home. Refreshments were served and covers laid for twelve. Those present were Messrs. J. Nuttingham, Gray, James (Graves, John Holmes, Wm. Mallard, C. Riddles, J. D. Thornton, M. Thurman, S. Washington, P. White, R. L. Woodard. Presiding Elder J. C. C. Owens held his fourth and last quarterly meeting last Sunday at Allen Chapel A. M. E. church. Rev. Mr. Owens has been a presiding elder for five successive years. Now he must leave which we regret very much. The Sunday School gave him a Bible dic tionary' as an appreciation of his ef ficient labor while with us. We were glad to make a full report. Mrs. Pearl Combs, who was burned seriously two weeks ago, is slowly recovering although she is still unable to feed herself. The Cecelian base ball team gave a four-course dinner party last Sat urday night at the home of the pres ident, Mr. Frank Gray, 1211 Mis souri avenue. Covers were laid for forty. Three tables were beautifully decorated, one in the front parlor, one in the back parlor and one in the dining room. The ball team’s colors were used in the decorations. Mr. J. D. Thornton and a party of his friends motored to Lincoln Sun day in his machine. The Mission Circle of Bethel Bap tist church met at the home of Mrs. Estella Andrews, 32nd and U streets, Thursday afternoon. The Circle is working hard to be ready with their assessment for the rally. The Fred Douglass Literary Society meets next Tuesday night at Bethel Baptist church. The subject for dis cussion, “Resolved, That slavery was a blessing rather than a curse to the Negro.” We expect this discussion to be very interesting. Messrs. Bowers and Mahome, late from the Nashville schools, will have the affirmative, Messrs. V. Davis and G. Long the negative. There will also be a music al number from Miss Fay Widby and a paper by Miss C. Jones. Mrs. Nora Gray, Mr. and Mrs. R. Severe, Mr. and Mrs. G. Ashby, state officers of the Nebraska state federa tion of Colored women’s clubs, went to Lincoln Sunday to attend the funeral of Mrs. Bedell and her daughter, Miss Zola, which was held at A. M. E. church. The entertainment held at the home of Mrs. Roxy Williams Wednesday night for one of the clubs of Bethel Baptist church was a success, for which she thanks her many friends.

IN MEMORIAM “I presume you carry a memento • of some kind in that locket you wear?” the inquisitive wife of the clergyman asked a parishioner. “Yes. It's a lock of my husband’s hair.” “But your husband is still alive!” the lady exclaimed in considerable surprise. “Yes, that is true, but his hair is gone." -- Powell Bros.

Lincoln Department Anita M. Taylor, Call L9810 9 a. m. to 3 p. m. One of the saddest occasions in the history of Lincoln was that of Sunday last, when funeral services for Mrs. Anna Bedell and her fourteen year old daughter Zola were held at the A. M. E. Church. The mother who succumbed to cancer and the little girl a victim of tuberculosis, died with in an hour of each other, Zola dying at 6:30 Thursday afternoon and airs. Bedell just fifty minutes later. Hav ing lived in Lincoln for years, both were universally loved and respected and their absence will be felt for many days, not only in the home left so vacant and desolate but in the entire community. The heartfelt sym pathy of all, even the most slight ac quaintances, is extended to the be reaved relatives. The good people of Lincoln can economize on their cleaning and press ing by calling L 5141.—Adv. Mr. and Mrs. Richard Lawton re turned last week from Clay Center, Kansas, where they spent part of the summer visiting Mr. Lawton’s rela tives. The Union Sunday School picnic given at Antelope Park last Thurs day afternoon was a great success. The day was perfect and the 125 scholars present more than enjoyed the games, swings .and the lunch. Over six gallons of ice cream was pro vided gratis. The superintendents of the two Sunday Schools, Mesdames Shelby and Moore, were very much gratified over the appreciation shown by the young people.

Pack ing houses are reducing their output in hogs and many men are not making full time. Construction work will keep up until November at which time many men will be out. Many com panies are holding back to see what effect the draft will have upon their working forces. The demand for la bor, however, is just as insistent and will continue for several years to come. Next spring will be a banner year for our people. A local tobacco factory is consider ing putting in Colored girls as tobacco strippers. The Orpheum theatre employed eigth Colored girls this week as ush ers. The sausage factory of the Cudahy plant which will hire about thirty Colored women has not yet been com pleted. The Minnesota Steel Mills reports full working crews and a future pros pect cf many men as soon as housing conditions can be completed. Ten laborers arrived in Omaha this week from Florida. They will be em ployed at the smelters. The Navy Yard at Pensacola closed down on the 26th of August and the Navy’ Yard at Charleston, it is ru mored has called for 3,000 men. Omaha, July 3, 1917.
