ADMISSION . 30 and 40c¢ (Gene al Entrance. ... . S e T e e : ‘ Ghildren 20 and 10c. Saddle H_rse EASY GAITED To Hire By The Month, Address Clerk of the t ourt, Government House. EDITORIAL. The jubilee fund of the iorthcoming Moravian Jubilee celebrations for which a programme is published, will be ex pended as follows, it is advised: 1. For painting and washing the outside of the church;2. for renovating and pairing the platform; 8. for carpeting the aisles of the church; 4. for augmenting the ““New Organ Fund’’. We are further informed that the congregation original- - ly expected to get a new orgau for the jubilee, but finding it impossible to se- cure it during the jubilee year, it has been decided to do the other three hings aforementioned. Collections will be taken at the public services and the platform meetings in behalf of the jubilee fund, and the donations of friends and well- wishers, either toward the general jubi- lee fund, or éspecially sowards the ''New Organ Fund’’ will be gratefully received by the minister-in-charge. It is llkewise very gratifying to learn that Revd. A. T. King, former pastor of the Friedens- berg Mission is expected by the ‘‘Pari- ma’’ today to participate in the celebra- tions, and his many triends here and in Frederiksted will be glad to meet him. Mr. King is now stationed at Basseterre, St. Kitts, and his well known Christian spirit that did so much to build up the church at Frederiksted is winning much progress for the work in his present field of labor. QUERRY: Will Mr. Joseph Alexander con- firm or deny the statement that he i ‘*Begging for Votes’’? Can Mir. Joseph Alexander deny that he has written letters to the Voters of this Town “Begging for Votes”? Can Mr. Joseph Alexander deny that himself and father have been ““Begging for votes’’? Ifhis answer be in the negative, must we then take itfor granted that he does not deem himse?f worthy of those whom he is aspiring to repre- sent in the Legislative Body of St. Croix. . GusniT Voters of Christiansted, REMEMBER when you are going to put that signifi- cant X it must be for our two indepe - dent candidates W. Abramson and An- thon Teytaud, don’t let canvassers from any other quarter persuade you by hold- ing up invisible Platforms like harbour improvements and attempts to keep off steamers from our harbour, hetter roads, (leave that to the party that originated it, they will settle that), don’t let the Council be a Bolsheviki Council. we do not want the Labour Union removed to Government House, that old barre] they call “‘Labour Union’’ is splitting fact, remember the Labour Union’s motto: “United we stand, divided we fall’’, (Aint they falling? We do not tolerate anything pertaining to division within cur steady circle of C. C. members, they have proved faithful; of course it never QUERI.T. suited the B. P.--We should worry— The B. P. (you know—Bolsheviki Party) have played a bad hand in these islands since its birth. Shake off that funny feeling of yours, brother voter: stick yourself with a pin if necessary to get awake to the fact that the X is for Abramseéh and Teytaud. Hold that pen- cil firm and waen the B. P play their favorite tune ‘‘'The worst is yet to come’’ sign your cross for Abramson and Tev- taud and you are one better. SAM. The Coming Elections To the Editor ‘‘The Avis.”’ Dear Sir: , What seems pecuiiar in connecfion with the present preparazions for elec- tions, is that, although we are within but nine days of the day appointed, yet up tothis not one Candidate (the new men particularly are meant) has taken a stand, or announced to the people publicly his views, ideas or intentions: his platform, 1s the term implics. It might be all very well for matters to proceed in this unaccustomed style, were there not any questions on the tapis of other than the most ordinary nature, but with (as the case is) subjects of vital importance one at least of which affects directly the interests of the- peo- ple of the Town which these men are supposed to represent, the situation pres- ents quite a different aspect. and we are forced to enter a protest against this un- conveuntional mode today so different from the custom of past times. Does this Mr. Editor, this innovation, cover plot intended to delude the un- wary of our people into acecepting a bit- ter pil}for a sugarplum. I am surprised to see our People’s Man nf “‘The Herald””, our most worthy friend who holds down the Editorial Chair of your cotem, keeping aloof at this fime. I hope that the ''ley Snoulders” of a section of those of whom no better was expected, seeing of what stamp they are has not caused him to become too “frigid’’ himself insomuch as to neglect the cause which on his honor he must advocate: but that he will like a Gi- ant refreshed with wine, issue forth and sound the timbrel on behalf of the mass- 2s, the condition of which has today en- abled ¢them to send forward men to legislate and be on the alert for the good of their hearths and homes.
