Just a line to say hello. This coun
try has many interesting things in it,
which you would like to see. Som<
day I hope you may see them.
The French people are very nice
as I knew they would be. They came
out of the French revolution purged
and glorified. Prior to that time
France was the citadel of iniquity.
V ou know quite as much about thi
war as we do over here. Latei on
we may kn >w more or less about it
We all hope, as you do that the wai
will soon end. When you get th<
time T would like to hear from you.
The country here is very like oui
own. The crops are the same us ours,
such as wheat, rye, oats, potatoes ar.d
the fruits like ours. This relates to
the country. The cities are about a.-,
yce would expect to find them at such
a time as this, very like our cities
there will be if the war should last
another year.
I write to Mrs. Pinkett very often
and say lots of nice things to her. Ask
her when you see her. I send her
something she likes very well. Tel!
her hello for me. I certainly would
like to run over home for a while.
How is your mother? Tell her hello
for me.
I am enclosing a French coin as a

DEDICATION OF FREE STONE
PRIMITIVE BAPTIST CHURCH
The Free Stone Primitive Baptist
church is the name of a new reli
gious organization which is holding
services at Twenty-sixth and Grant
streets. The Rev. S. M. Shelton of
Pensacola, Fla., has been conducting
a series of revival services for the
past two weeks. Tomorrow morning
at 11 o’clock the church will be dedi
1 cated.
CARNIVAL GRAND SCCCKSS
The most brilliant affair ever wit
nessed in Omaha was the carnival
given under the auspices Of St. John’s
A. M. E. church and Zion Baptist
church. A gathering togethei t at
has spelled the word excellency in
every respect. One of the features
of the carnival was the parade ol all
nations, which was viewed by thou
sands as it marched through the
grounds, leaving the people spr i
bound and unwearied. The greatest
feature of the carnival was t o coi
onation of the oueen on Monday eve
ning. MifS Ailene Bentley, one of
Zion’s most popular young ladies, was
chosen as Zion’s queen, and Miss
Corrine Thomas, who with her sweet,
modest and unselfish way has won
her way into the hearts of all who
know her, was St. John’s queen. Both
performed their duty with dignity,
and grace ami both deserve muc
credit. Miss Bentley was awarded
the crown and Miss Thomas the gold
medal, due to an error in counting
the money. The committee which had
the affair under control deserve the
utmost praise. The Rev. W. L. Wil
liams, promoter, and the Rev. W. F.
Botts labored unceasingly to makr
this affair worth while and it un
doubtedly surpassed the expectations
of these gentlemen as it certainly
surpassed the expectatinps of t r
crowd, which thronged the ground,
each night. The cause was a worthy
one and worthily supported by Oma.
hans. It is to be hoped those who
trod the beautiful grounds amid the
strains of sweet music and wandered
through the spacious rooms felt fully
repaid. The members and friends of
Zion and St. John’s wish to thank all
who assisted in making this affair a
grand success. T^e amounts realized
from votes for queen were Zion.
$747.58; St. John’s, $762.4!>. Amount

The Burns company used an ey j
