Standing -wjth an erecjness that re
minds ono o( the proverbial Indian,
with a face the color of polished ma
hogany, wreathed In a perpetual
smile, displaying teeth that would
cause a movie star to turn green with
envy, his head thatched with wool as
whlto as tho driven, snow, there re
sides in Southern Oklahoma's largest
city, Alec Taylor, who Is probably tho
oldest colored citizen in this section
of tho state.
So long has Uncle Alec lived In this
city that he has become a fixturo
among tho white folks fhom he serves
In various' capacities. So active is ho
in the performance of his work that
age has made no material Impression
upon him and few suspect that his
one hundredth birthday is approaching.
Born on an Alabama plantation in
1820, it will be seen that he Is now in
that Is fast disappearing from this
country, a typo that very few of those
of his race to follow in future years
wilt be able to emulate.

Omaha, Neb., Aug. 19, 1919.
Kansas City Sun:
This is wishing you well and to say
that our Carnival of All Nations
closed last Friday night. It was the
greatest of its kind ever staged in
the West. Zion was successful in
crowning their queen over us. The
amount of money for St. Johns
Queen was $950.00, and Zion's Queen
wsa ?992.00. St. John cleaned up as
its part of the proceeds, $1,520.00.
One thousand five hundred twenty
dollars. This closes our rally, mak
ing the grand total of $8,539.00.
The Editor of the Sun opened the
carnival with one of the greatest ad
dresses ever heard in Omaha. Every
body is asking us when will he be
back? On Sunday evening. August
3, he worshipped with St. John and
in a short talk raised the people out
of their seats. Long live Nelson C.
Crews, as a race man, as man that
has and is doing something. The Mas
ter said: "Go work and then come
back and report. Do something. De
liver the goods. Come back with the
bacon. Then men will hear you.
With best wishes, I am as ever
Faithfully yours,
