JOHNSON. Few men on the South Side, or in any other part of this city for that mattjr, was better or more favorably known, than the late CoL B. H. John son, wbo was well on to twenty-rive years engaged in the express and mov ing business at 4915 S. State street, where he was always greatly .assisted in his business iy his good and sor rowing -wife, Mrs. Johnson. Tor a long time CoL Jonuson -com-Banded the Twelfth Beglment, Uni form Hank, Grand United Order of Odd Fellows, throughout the world. Hampton, Vav-Northcm industrial centers are becoming better organized along social-service lines to care prop erly for tho Negro migrants. Tho movement of 2Jcgtoes from the South to the Worth, tho EaaV and the West continues, in spite of the industrial depression. What Cleveland is doing to help jtrnng colored women and girls, many of whom have recently come from small Southern rural com munities, was recently presented to some nf tho .Hampton Institute work ers by Miss Jano Hunter, founder and general manager of the Phillis Wheat- ley Association, -which has -won the active financial and moral support of Cleveland's white and colored citi zens. Miss -tiurrwr saia: "The Phillis Wheatley Asseiation building is not adequate to meet the needs of colored girls in Cleveland. We. reach, on an average, probably eight or nine nnndred girls -a month. With our vesper services included we probably reach 15,000 girls a year. Some irls are educated, some aro un educated, some aro poor, and some are in good circumstances. Our chief aim, however, is -to help the working girL Wo have nevor lost sight of the girl who has never had -a chance. "Wo .havo an employment bureau through which we help about 700 peo ple every month. "Most of the jobs are for work by the day. Other jobs aro in domestic service, factories, and stores. "Wo found that wo wero getting hold of a lot of untrained, ignorant girls who did sot know anything about our customs and 'the -things they were being asked to do, so wo started an educational department two years ago. It was not a real success until last For many years "he was Treasurer of Golden Fleece Lodge. He was a prom- year, when we secured tho services of She is hlessed with a great spirit of ad miration and praise for her race, and -takes advantage -of -every opportunity to let ihe world know of her laco's great achievements. Mr. H. A. Walkins is one of -the big fellows of the town. If you do not know him it is your loss. JSig in the church, civic organizations, lodges, clubs, etc., he wears his honors well, Stanaing four-square to every gale, he is credit to his Taee jovial, good natured, he is winning his laurels out side of politics. Dr. James B. White, who went to war. is a man of excellent military bearing. He won titles abroad on the firing line, and was decorated for bravery. Tho people of Chicago like to cherish kind feelings toward a "bravo man. Dr. White las conducted1 himself in such fashion (hat 'all -we could say of him would be well-mer.' ited praise. 9 Mrs. 'Fannie Hall-Clint for" a very great while has Ibeen an elocutionist of wide acquaintance, and indeed en joys no little distinction as a reader of the first magnitude. 8ho ia also a lady who prides herself with interest for the achievements of her kind. Blessed with every ennobling grace, she is not too proud to lend a helping hand whenever and wherever she is called upon. This constitutes the good citizen, and -sustains tho family life of the -race. Dr. Fannie Emanuel is ;n every thing -that means uplifting "her race, sustaining -the good and proud name, marshalling forces to progress and to honor, and doing what she believes is her duty, not for anything less than' that of standing up foT right, and that only. Mr. David MeGowan is one of those earnest .business-like men that -all wish to know. He is sometimes grave, and I sometimes gay, out -always agreeable.
