MASS MEETING AT WESLEY CHAPEL
M. E. CHURCH(COL) GREENWOOD MISS.

Bishop W. P. Thirkield, D. D., of New Orleans, La., will hold a Mass Meeting, September 26, 1917, at corner of Howard and Gibbs streets in the interest of the colored people of the South, setting forth what can be done on the farm, in the home, cities, churches and the schools for the general welfare of our people. The meeting will be held at 2:30 P. M. and 8 P. M. We will exhibit farm products, needle work, sewing, canning, etc. and demonstrate how our people can easily better their condition, which will no doubt solve the labor and many other problems. We invite our white citizens and ask them to co-operate with us to make it a success.

F. A. Gray, F.H. Hawkins, Willis Nero, Directors.
