How Tips Originated.
How many men are familiar with what the word, "tip" means and how it originated. The answer is, "The American Restaurant," simply that the letters of the words that make up the word "tip" are the initials of the phrase "to insure promptness," which was an inscrip- tion on the money boxes used in the old-time taverns. Into these

A statement draw up by a mass meeting of prominent negroes at Jackson, Mississippi, explains that exodus of coloured labour from the south to northern States is due to the feeling that a negro's life is unsafe in the State of Mississippi," also that the defeat by Southerning stanza representatives in Congress of the Anti-lynching Bill has caused negroes to believe that the south is irrevocably determined to per- petuate lynch law and mob violence. Among the grievances cited is the neglect of the educa- tion of negro-children as compared with whites.
