The Advocate chronicles with
sorrow the passing of I. N. Day,
well known huNiuess man of the
city and H. S. JoKselyn, former
k n d <>f D m P. K. l*. Co., and
Christian Science Practitioner.
Both men were active in civitftle
velopment and uplift. While they
arc absent in the physical; their
spirits remain with us. In this
thought we have pleasure.
According to a report from
Reiul, Oregon, the colored men in
that little town have organised
themselves into a business men's
elub. Col red Business men of
Portland may well follow their ex

A bill in the Pennsylvania State
Senate requiring that milk "be
sold only in original containers”
should certainly stimulate the live
