Bowman last Wednesday week, a notable woman and useful citizen passed. Her passing will be long felt in this city, state and various sections of the country. Ever since her birth in Tod County this State, some years ago, the unfolding of her early life there and here grew into great usefulness as the years went by. The training and influence of her mother, Mrs. Hannah Bowman, who died January 27th, 1906 and father, long since passed, were of the right sort. She received her education in the public schools of this city. She chose teaching as a profession, and continued in the same as one of the best in the city schools for a period of 40 years. Her services were rendered in the Western, Dunbar, Eighth Street and S. Coleridge Taylor schools. The power of her personality was keenly felt by children, patrons and teachers, under the principalships of Profs. W. H. Payton, J. M. Maxwell, W. H. Perry, F. S. Delaney, G. M. McClellan, and J. S. Cotter. The last named was her principal in the S. Coleridge Taylor School, in which she resigned on a fe wyears ago. The deceased was a lover of the Church and Sunday School. She was a teacher of class 2, in the Fifth St. Baptist Church for 34 years. Besides, she was a leader in fraternal and club circles in the state and one of the best known of the same in other states. She was Chief Grand Scribe, from an eardly life till death, of the Inter-national Order of 12; member of the Aurora Tabernacle, No. 11; member of the Sons and Daughters of Bethel; Ladies Union Band, Louisville Household of Ruth No. 4213, of which she was a counsellor at death, Supervisor of Progress Juveniles, No. 1256, of which she was the Grand District Supervisor of Kentucky, Secretary-Treasurer of the Scholarship Loan of Federation of Clubs of this state and a member of several other organizations. The funeral services were conducted by Dr. J. H. Frank at the Fifth St. Baptist Church last Sunday afternoon. They were quite sad and very largely attended by local and visiting friends. The out of town attendants were: Sir Scipio Jordan, Chief Grand Mentor, of Ark.; Prof. Joseph Hereford, Inter-national Cheif Grand Scribe, Kansas City, Mo.; Mrs. Effie Chinn, Glasgow, Ky., Publisher of Supply Department; Mrs. R. c. McDowell, Hannibal, Mo.; [illegible] CITIZENS HOLD SECOND VICE CRUSADE MEETING The second citizens' mass meeting, as a crusade against vice conditions in this city and more especially in Negro communities, was held at the Jackson St., M. E. Church last Monday night, under the auspices of the Inter-denominational Ministerial Alliance. Rev. George Walker, rector of our Merciful Saviour Episopal Church, the president of the Alliance presided. It seems that this ministers are determined to put a stop to such vice and lawlessness as is known to be so prevvalent is certain Negro districts, and strong addresses against the open practices were made by Rev. Noah Williams of Quinn Chapel A. M. E. Church, Rev. R. L. Bayliss, of Chestnut Street C. M. E. Church, Rev. I. Gardland Penn, Jr., pastor of Jackson St., M. E. Church, and Prof. A. E. Meyzeek, principal of the Normal School. In the course of his speech, Rev. Penn said that they were going to wage war on any organization that seeks to advocate lawlessness in our great city, whether said organization is of political or civic nature. "We are going to stamp out poolrooms, gambling, houses of prostitution, and other dens of vice in our city, and every Negro minister in our city much declare himself inn favor of such a program or he will be oustracized from decent society. Hundreds See Pearl High Defeat Central In Great Thanksgiving Battle; Score 19-13 What is said to be the largest crowd in the history of football games in Louisville was that of the Thanksgiving Day classic between Central High School of this city and Pearl High of Nashville. The people came, young and old, from every part of the city, representing every department of life. Pearl High School 19, Central High School 13. As the score indicates, a hard and close contest was staged on the high school athletic field. Central had Pearl beaten by one point until the last few minutes of the last quarter, when Hamilton hurled a pretty one through the air to Daniels, who had only about five yards to race to the goal line This he did cleverly amid the wild shouts and clamors of the Nashville forces and sympathizers. Although the visitors made good use of straight football for the most part of the game, their air plays were their decisive points in it. Even their catching and intercepting forward passes hurled by the locals was remarkably well done. Then too, their formations were beautiful and it seemed even puzzling to our boys at times. Our boys throughout the season have been handicapped, because of their frequent fumbles and failure to hold forward passes, when they were hurled exactly in their hands. But they, the team, which is almost entirely new, fought nobly and deserves praise. Too much cannot be said of the star wark by Whedbee, Bowman Jackson, Helm and others. First Quarter Central won the toss and selected the kick-off and the west goal. Hampton returned ball, which was afterwards punted 30 yards by Hardin. Early Central fumbled. A Pearl player recovered ball. Then Hampton made an end run for fair gains. Whedbee punted a long one to the east. Hampton punted a good one to the west goal. Central's ball. Central's quarter made a fumble which was quite costly The ball rolled within 10 yards of goal. The Nashville team continued in their march westward until Jones made a touchdown. Hampton failed to throw for goal. Score Pearl 6, Central 0. Pearl kicked off. Ball was brought back about 10 yards. In a play Central again fumbled. In spite of this Whedbee made a spectacular run for nearly 40 years, before he was downed. One of his passes was caught by Beasly of Pearl just before the quarter ended. Second Quarter Central began to march steadily toward the west goal. In a scrimmage, Helm was slightly knocked out. He rallied and caught a pretty pass from Whedbee, and was again knocked out. Immediately thereafter, Jackson who caught one from Whedbee ran for a touchdown. But Whedbee's kick failed and the score was tied. Central's rooters and the Industrial School Band almost rent the air. Central 6, Pearl High 6. When Central kicked-off, the ball rolled [illegible] 10 yards [illegible] before [illegible] end run for 10 yards gain, and began to move rapidly eastward by end runs and line plunges. Finally on downs, she lost the ball to Central, whose quarterback ran for several yards. His pass was caught by a Pearl player whose side punted for 30 yards. Just as Central resorted to the aerial route again, the time keeper's whistle blew for the first half to end. Score Central High 6, Pearl High 6. Third Quarter Hardin for Nashville kicked. Bowman, the plucky left half for Louisville made a star plunge for 15 yards, and Jackson, the Old Reliable, made another one for a good gain. A still better plunge was made by Bowman again. Whedbee, after whirling a pretty one to Jackson, plunged after for another touchdown. His toe was good this time. This time the Louisville people did make some noise. Score Central 13, Pearl 6. Time was taken out for Jackson of Central HIgh, and also on the referee, who stopped the coaches for coming on the field. Coach Morris of Central had acted as first aid man, and Coach Morrison of Pearl High, came on the field apparently to see how the injured player was faring. Hampton's pass to Jones was successful. In tackling Jackson was laid out again. Pearl High made a good gain by one end run, and then another. The next play was a forward pass by Hampton to Coleman, who raced for a touchdown. Jones failed to catch the throw for goal. Score Central 13, Pearl 12. The kick-off by Pearl was returned several yards. Whedbee attempted to pass to Helm. Just then the quarter ended. Fourth Quarter The visitors kicked the ball which was returned a good distance by the locals. Bowman caught a pass from Central's quarter-back. It was third down. The home team gained about 20 yards by a forward pass and run. A punt by Central was sent out of bounds. It was brought back to the 20 yard line for continued play by the locals. Pearl High by an end run and line plunge later made good gains. A decided gain came when the hero Hampton made a dash for 40 yards before he stopped. The next thing he did was to complete a pass to Coleman. Jones made an end run. Fourth down. Hampton threw a long high one to Daniels, who raced over the goal. Hardin kicked safely. Score Pearl 19, Central 13. Pearl kicked-off. Ball was fumbled by Whedbee where it ceased rooling. He threw a forward pass into the hands of a Pearl player, who raced away for a good gain before he was stopped. Then a back pass, which at first was judged to be a punt or forward pass was a pretty play for a good gain. But, the timekeeper's announced the end of the game which was thrilling and exciting before an audience of 1500 spectators. Final Score, Pearl High 19, Central High 13. Notes The visting team of 18 players was [illegible] Prof. McKissick, and 40 or more students and other persons from Nashville. The Industrial School Band kept up the fighting spirit of the teams and cheer of the crowd throughout the game. Score by Periods 1 2 3 4 Pearl 6 - 6 7 Central 0 6 7 0 Referee R. F.

This Christmas Club plan was originated for the purpose of interesting people in thift--a method of laying aside a little money each week during the year to meet the expenditures of the Christmas holidays. Millions of people throughout the country, who always found themselves strained to meet the demands of the holiday season for money have been educated into this novel plan of saving, and now Christmas brings added cheer and a lasting smile. Under the plans outlined each member is required to deposit a certain sum for fifty weeks in the year, at the end of that time they receive a check. There are many classes from which member may pick, but the most popular classes seem to be the classes in which the member saves 10c, 25c, 50c, 1.00, 2.00, or 5.00 weekly. In the 10c Class the person pays in 10c each week for fifty weeks, and saves $5.00 during the year; In the 125c Class the member pays 25c each week for fifty weeks and saves $12.50 during the year; In the 50c Class the member lays aside 50c each week for fifty weeks and saves $25.00 during the year; In the 1.00 Class the member pays in $1.00 each week for fifty weeks and saves $50.00; In the 2.00 Class the member saves $2.00 each week and in the $5.00 Class the member saves $250 during the fifty weeks of saving. The 1923 Club is now open at the American Mutual Savings Bank--every body is invited to join [photo] PROF. E. E. REED, Bowling Green, Ky. President K. N. E.

National Baptists To Elect President; Williams Choice MISS MINNIE JONES MOVES TO FIRST PLACE Mrs. Gaines Second With 7,000 Votes; Miss White And Mrs. Vaughn Get Large Vote MRS. FANNIE M. JACKSON OF MAYSVILLE ENTERS Miss Minnie Jones of Millersburg, Ky., who came from last to second place last week thru a vote of 4,200 for that week, received 2,050 votes during voting days this week, enough to put her in second place with a total of 7,850, a few over Mrs. Mary Gaines of Earlington, who with 4,800 votes last week moved from the 1,000 class to first place. Mrs. Gaines received 1,200 votes this week with a total of 7,000, but not enough to keep first place from the energetic young woman of Millersburg. With the close of the contest, which is three weeks off, a day before Christmas, the premiums are beginning to look more attractive, and the contest becoming more of a competitive affair, there is no telling how the standing will be the last publication day, before the [close?] and certainly no one can tell, from here, whom of the several ladies will receive the first of attractive premiums. Though several votes behind some of whom have not received or reported a single vote, other than the 1,00 given, such ladies as Madam Lan[caster?], Meddames Malissa Cass, [illegible] Ophelia Head, Emma [illegible] Misses Nannie Fox, Ca[illegible] son Helen Rogers and others who appear below have gotten their forces together, are themselves at work and must be reckoned with before the last votes are counted. Mrs. E. C. Vaughn and Miss Juanita White made excellent efforts for the week. Miss Vaughn with 750 votes for the week remains in fifth place with a total of 4,250. Miss White with 1,650 votes, second to Miss Jones in votes for the week, with a total of 3,150 moved up from ninth to sixth place. 1,000 more votes were received by Miss Elnora Hayes last week than she was given credit for. She retains third place with 5,500 votes. Miss A. C. Bostie with 2,300 votes last week plus the 1,000, giving her a total of 4,300, remains in fourth place. Mrs. Mattie V. Duff with 400 votes for the week is much interested in the success of the Leader and will be heard from in a larger way before December 23rd. Mrs. Fannie M. Jackso nof Maysville has entered the contest, and though a few weeks have passed, she is popular in her community and is to be reckoned with in the end.

The head of the company and its active president is Mr. James T. Taylor who's home is at Harrod's Creek, Ky. Mr. Taylor is a road builder and contractors.

They are planning to erect there fifteen of twenty first-class homes for colored people. These homes will be modern attractive in every way and actual erection will be started within the next week or ten days.

This Christmas Club plan was originated for the purpose of interesting people in thift--a method of laying aside a little money each week during the year to meet the expenditures of the Christmas holidays. Millions of people throughout the country, who always found themselves strained to meet the demands of the holiday season for money have been educated into this novel plan of saving, and now Christmas brings added cheer and a lasting smile. Under the plans outlined each member is required to deposit a certain sum for fifty weeks in the year, at the end of that time they receive a check. There are many classes from which member may pick, but the most popular classes seem to be the classes in which the member saves 10c, 25c, 50c, 1.00, 2.00, or 5.00 weekly. In the 10c Class the person pays in 10c each week for fifty weeks, and saves $5.00 during the year; In the 125c Class the member pays 25c each week for fifty weeks and saves $12.50 during the year; In the 50c Class the member lays aside 50c each week for fifty weeks and saves $25.00 during the year; In the 1.00 Class the member pays in $1.00 each week for fifty weeks and saves $50.00; In the 2.00 Class the member saves $2.00 each week and in the $5.00 Class the member saves $250 during the fifty weeks of saving. The 1923 Club is now open at the American Mutual Savings Bank--every body is invited to join [photo] PROF. E. E. REED, Bowling Green, Ky. President K. N. E.

National Baptists To Elect President; Williams Choice MISS MINNIE JONES MOVES TO FIRST PLACE Mrs. Gaines Second With 7,000 Votes; Miss White And Mrs. Vaughn Get Large Vote MRS. FANNIE M. JACKSON OF MAYSVILLE ENTERS Miss Minnie Jones of Millersburg, Ky., who came from last to second place last week thru a vote of 4,200 for that week, received 2,050 votes during voting days this week, enough to put her in second place with a total of 7,850, a few over Mrs. Mary Gaines of Earlington, who with 4,800 votes last week moved from the 1,000 class to first place. Mrs. Gaines received 1,200 votes this week with a total of 7,000, but not enough to keep first place from the energetic young woman of Millersburg. With the close of the contest, which is three weeks off, a day before Christmas, the premiums are beginning to look more attractive, and the contest becoming more of a competitive affair, there is no telling how the standing will be the last publication day, before the [close?] and certainly no one can tell, from here, whom of the several ladies will receive the first of attractive premiums. Though several votes behind some of whom have not received or reported a single vote, other than the 1,00 given, such ladies as Madam Lan[caster?], Meddames Malissa Cass, [illegible] Ophelia Head, Emma [illegible] Misses Nannie Fox, Ca[illegible] son Helen Rogers and others who appear below have gotten their forces together, are themselves at work and must be reckoned with before the last votes are counted. Mrs. E. C. Vaughn and Miss Juanita White made excellent efforts for the week. Miss Vaughn with 750 votes for the week remains in fifth place with a total of 4,250. Miss White with 1,650 votes, second to Miss Jones in votes for the week, with a total of 3,150 moved up from ninth to sixth place. 1,000 more votes were received by Miss Elnora Hayes last week than she was given credit for. She retains third place with 5,500 votes. Miss A. C. Bostie with 2,300 votes last week plus the 1,000, giving her a total of 4,300, remains in fourth place. Mrs. Mattie V. Duff with 400 votes for the week is much interested in the success of the Leader and will be heard from in a larger way before December 23rd. Mrs. Fannie M. Jackso nof Maysville has entered the contest, and though a few weeks have passed, she is popular in her community and is to be reckoned with in the end.

Taylor Real Estate Co., which has recently been incorporated and opend offices in the First Standard Bank Buliding, corner Seventh and Walnut Streets. The head of the company and its active president is Mr. James T. Taylor who's home is at Harrod's Creek, Ky. Mr. Taylor is a road builder and contractors. He operates a quarry near Harrod's Creek and for years has built some of the most beautiful roads surrounding the homes of wealthy residents along the River Roads. The company has already begun the development of the Taylor Sub-division located one mile above Harrod's Creek. They are planning to erect there fifteen of twenty first-class homes for colored people. These homes will be modern attractive in every way and actual erection will be started within the next week or ten days. These homes will be faced on one side by the beautiful River Road and on the other side the Inter-urban will give quick transportation to home owners who go back and forth to Louisville on business Several well known residents of Louisville have already closed contracts for homes in this sub-division.
