CLARK-SOUTH UNITED IN HOLY MATRIMONY Miss Isaac Clark, 2530 Blonao St., and Mr. Orlo South of 24D1 Blondo Street, were united in mat rimony at a quiet ceremony per formed on Saturday morning, May 17, by the Rev. T. A. Sears at his imiimiiuninimiiiuNiumuiiuiiiiiniiiiuiiiuHiiiiuiiimimuiminmiiniimimiiHiumimui not including the proprietors. While the capital investment is not large, t is considerable and valuable experience has been gain ed through the various establish ments. The patronage of these estab lishments is derived from the gen eral public, as it should be. And the residents of the community spend their money where it brings the largest quantity of purchas able needs. Many of the places of business have been operated for many years and they have grown progressive ly better. All these establishments engage in emulous rivalry With similar places owned and operated by their white neighbors, in the best spirt. And their relations with the whole salers are on the finest terms of a business basis. All of us have often heard it said that the colored people have too many pool and billiard parlors and too many saloons in proport ion to population. The number of saloons listed here is five and the number of pool and billiard parl ors five, a total of ten establish ments out of ninety-five. This is the last of five articles on employment which began pub lication in the Omaha Guide five weeks ago. They have shown something of the work that is be ing done by Colored men and worn en and through it their contribut ion to the community. At some future time, perhaps, articles may be contributed, touch ing the services of the Colored Ministers, Attorneys, Physicians, Dentists, Social Workers and Civ ic Organizations and leaders. It is well for all of us to re member that our story must be told by the colored people them selves. And the only publication through which it can be told is the newspaper published by col ored men and women. And mere and more white men and women should read them, because, as a rule, the country over, the only thing that is news concerning Ne groes in white papers, is some thing discreditable There should be ten thousand Omaha Guide subscribers among white men and women in this state They need the information it pre sents,e ven more than the Guide needs the support which would ac crue to it in this way. By reading thus you will learn something of the story of ‘‘Ihe Forgotten Man”,; how a disad vantaged race may sacrifice and suffer and still go on. Proscribed on all sides, denied opportunity everywhere on account of color in a so-called democracy, the ra;2 has been able to teach America a lesson of patience and loyalty un surpassed in the history of man kind. And while thus denied, they have bestowed upon America and the world the gift of joyous laugh ter and moving song. JACKSON 0288 FIDELITY STORAGE & VAN CO. Local and Long Distance MOVING 1107 Howard.
