It’s hard to “minister to a MIND

minister to a diseased BODY; to
supply the remedial needs of
the inner man”—and the inner
WOMAN.

To All Whom Thesp Presents ]
Shall Come Greetings: <
Know Ye That Whereas, \
Arkansas, this year, celebrates <
the one-hundredth anniversa- <
ry of its admission into the
American Union as a territory ]
the bill having been introduc- <
ed by Reresentative John Scott i
of the territory of Missouri, on (
March 2, 1819, and effective ]
July 4, 1819, and our State <
now stands beneath the pyra
mid of a century of achieve-1
ment, which bids us press for- ]
ward toward still greater and |
sublimer goals of material j
prosperity, civil progress, edu-j
cational enlightment and mor- i
al reform, and
Whereas, during this cen- !
tenary of our history, Arkan
sas has been blessed with sig
nal material prosperity and
lofty idealism in many fields i
of worthy endeavor, and
Whereas, our patriotic citi- ’
zenship is profoundly grateful
to Almighty God who holdeth'
within the hollow of His hand
the destiny of states, as well \
as the lives of individuals, fori
commendable progress in the
world of commerce, of indus
try, of education and particu-j
larly for the notable part our
soldiers, 63,000 strong, 42-000
of whom went overseas, and
our patriotic civilian popula
tion have had in the triumph
| of democratic arms over the
forces of a war mad autocracy
and,
Whereas, it is eminently fit
ting that at some appropriate j
time, during this year, all the
people of our commonwealth
should unite in the celebration
of this historical centenary,;
and that every county should!
participate in a celebration to
be held during the week of
November 17 to 22, in Little
Rock, the capital city of our
state, and contribute the best
of their products in agricul
ture, mining, manufactures,
industry, and literature as a
comprehensive display of our
untold resources thereby mak
ing thp event state wide, rath
er than local.
Now therefore, I, Chas. H.
Brough, Governor of the state
of Arkansas, acting upon the
recommendation of the Ark
_ _j_• i r<_-_;
cutsets vjuntcnmai v^uiiiiniooivrii
representing each of the sev
enty-five counties in our com
monwealth, by virtue of the
authority vested in me under
the constitution and laws of
said State, and acting in my
official capacity, do hereby
proclaim and set apart the
week beginning July 21st and
extending to July 27th, as the
time for raising funds in the
various counties through the
financial chairman already ap
pointed. It is agreed by the
Centennial Commission that
Pulaski county should raise
one half the amount thought
by the Centennial Commission
to be necessary, the State’s
quota being $75,000 and Pu
laski county’s, quota $37,500
the funds to be used in prizes
and to defray the necessary
expenses of the transportation
of the exhibits from the vari
ous counties to Littlp Rock and
•eturn, the housing and caring
?or the exhibits and for other
lurposes consequent upon a
celebration that should be in
seeping with thp dignity of
;he advanced position of Ark
msas among the other states
)f the American Union.
In testimony whereof, I
lave hereunto set my hand
md caused to be affixed the
jreat Seal of State, in the Ex
ecutive Chamber, at Littffi
!tock, Arkansas, this, thp 2nd
lay of July, 1919.

ANNOUNCEMENT
Mr. Walter Raney,
Dear Editor:
Pease allow mp space in the
paper to make an announce
ment.
On Friday afternoon at five
3’clock, July 18, every man,
woman and-child (col) of the
McCrory Special School Dis
trict, is requested to gather at
the Baptist church (col) for
the purpose of organizing a
School Improvement Associa
tion that is helpful to our
school. The board of educa
tion is considering a plan of
repairing the city school (col)
Dr. Fraser, president of the
board will be principal speak
er followed by other members
of the board and patrons of
the school.
We earnestly ask that every
colored man be present and
prove his mutual interest for
our immediate community. Not
only the board and faculty of
our school, but also .the races
of men are anxious to know
what we are doing for oursel
ves. God never helps him who
does not help himself.
It is hoped that the plan of
remodeling will be pleasing to
the extent that the rapidity of
its movement will be highly
endorsed.
What will wp do, what will
our white leaders do?
Dox populi est Dei (The
voice of the people is the voice
of God) The war is over, the
Kaiser has fled, the bugler has
even returned from the field.
Our boys from “over there”
are returning home singing the
song of Victory, reconstruction
should be our motto, let all of
my people prepare to do some
thing.
