EX-CONGRESSMAN MURRAY
AN OMAHA VISITOR
Ex-Congressman George W. Mur
ray of South Carolina, spoke at Grove
Methodist Episcopal church last Fri
day night to a small, but appreciative
audience, on “The Power of Impres
sion.” The speaker drove home some
telling truths concerning race ideals
which should be given wide publicity.
The speaker advocated in no mistaken
terms the necessity for greater ap
preciation of racial capacity and abil
ity. He voiced his dislike of the term
“Negro” upon the ground that it is a
term of reproach and contempt and
is so used by the average American
newspaper. He said we must throw
off all relics, mental and physical, of
slavery and stand on our feet as men.
We as American citizens must in
sist upon our constitutional rights.
He was introduced by H. J. Pinkett.
Mr. Murray spoke along similar lines
Sunday night at St. John’s A. M. E.
church.
While in the city he was the guest
of his old friend, the Rev. S. L. Deas;
pastor of Grove M. E. church.

“LEAP YEAR WEDDING”
CAUSES MUCH MERRIMENT
The Leap Year Wedding which was
given by the committee of women of
St. Philip’s Social club, under the
chairmanship of Mrs. Thomas Lynch,
at Columbia Hall, last Tuesday night
has been designated as “a scream.”
The bride, “Miss Monitor,” was im
personated by Mr. Lynch, whose tros
seau was artistically fashioned out of
copies of The Monitor by Mrs. Thomas
S. Riggs and Mrs. John W. Bell, skill
ful dressmakers; and the groom, “Mr
i K. C. Call," was impersonated by Mr.
John W. Bell. The “officiating mag
istrate was Henry W. Black. The
humorous questions propounded by
the “magistrate” and answered in
kind by the principals caused convul
sions of laugher from the audience.
A pleasant social evening was spent
by all present.
COMMUNITY DANCE EVERY
SATURDAY EVENING
In an effort to cater more fully to
neighborhood need, Community Serv
ice will conduct a community dance
every Saturday evening at the center,
2420 Lake street. Arrangements have
been made to use the large dance hall
downstairs, and Professor Perkins’
orchestra has been secured to furnish
special music. Dancing has proven
perhaps the most popular form of rec
reation.
From the viewpoint of many, danc
ing is debatable to say the least. But
since men and women will dance
Community Service takes the position
that dancing had better be done under
the best safeguards and proper sur
roundings. A goodly number enjoyed
themselves last Saturday evening. A
general invitation is issued to the
public. Admission 25 cents. Danc
ing from 8 to 11:30 p. m.
