Farew ell, along Fare
well—Mud.
Springfield is putttng on her
whole armour and ridding herself
entirely of the mud. She will
soon be a paved city. Look at
E Carpenter from 4th Street and
North 2nd St. from Carpenter,
North. These localities are grea
tly settled by colored people who
own their property and these
streets are being paved. This
speaks ijwell for the residents.
We advise you to hold fast to
your {property or else it will be
purchased and a sign will be seen
reading “Whites only can buy
here.’’ South Grand Avenue is
also being paved from 6th St. to
18th—making the entire Boule
vard a beautiful driveway and
picturesque landscape.
Ridglev having come in the
city, and East Springfield wish
ing to enter with a favorable
prospect of being suesessful this
will be the second city in the
State in population and in other
potential ways.

A Defense of Women.
By B. Marion Jones.
•(Continued from another issue.)
It has often, too often, been
said that whiskey, women and
money are ruining the world, and
I take 'note that the very men
who declare this to be so, are the
husbands of one or more wives,
and fathers of daughters. Men,
stop, think, reason! Money and
whiskey I do not deny do their
share, with many existing evils,
but a woman has no more to do
with the ruining of a communi
ty or the wor.d than a man.
We all do our part. For shame
that men can be so base as to lay
such great blame upon the shoul
ders of woman kind, and they
themselves totally innocent and
without sin. She may be too
strongly tempted, and perhaps
falls but men do the same and in
greater numbers. And because
some girls and women go to the
bad must they all of necessity be
placed upon one and the same
level? Because one man or two
men, or three men, ora few more
go to the bad do you say that
they are all bad? No, nor do
you say that a third, a half, or
two-thirds of them are bad
We sit around our comfortable
family circles listening to the
talk of the sacrificing wives, the
singing of the beautiful blushing
daughters, just blooming into wo
manhood, and yet say within us
these are helping to ruin the
world, that is as the man sees it,
through a glass darkly. Ah, can
it be so? Does it better things
by casting upon their slender
shoulders such a weighty burden?
No.

He came here a stranger, but a
businessman by experience while
at Hampton, Newport News Va.
and Providence, R. I. He is
quite young for the record he has
*viade and is conversant, coping
with the current issues of the'day
la re<il estate business has made
a wonderful record.
He inaugurated the erection of
the Masonic Building and other
commodious structures, among
which is the Williams Building in
which he now has his office.
He has taken part in the vari.
ous literary and other movements
which had a tendency to elevate
the people. Since coming here

read law at AnnArbor Law
Scnool last Summer. Mr. Wil
liams enjoys a lucrative business
in real estate. Last fall he took
the examination at Mt. Vernon
for lawyers, but failed to pass.
Never giving up as is his natural
inclination, he again took the law
examiuation which was held at
Chicago last week and passed a
satisfactory examination, having
receivud the notice of his success
this week.
He will be associated with Mr.

quite a scholarly man, having
graduated from Harvard Univer

mous School. Mr. Royall spent
2 years in Hadley’s office of the
Indiana Court of Appeals, also

distinction of being the first col

in Boston before his graduation.

law firms in the city. They have
an elegant suit of threeairy rooms
