Henderson News BY L. B. RUSSELL HENDERSON - A group of citizens met at the Spring St. Baptist Church last Friday night to discuss plans and outline procedures for the betterment of the conditions in the city of Henderson. This group was pre sided over by the Rev. A. L. Day, a citizen of the F lint Hill Community. The keynote ad dress was delivered by the Rev. J. A. Brown, presiding elder of the Durham District AME Zion Church. Rev. Brown’s message was very forceful and well planned for the needs of the Ne gro citizens of Henderson.

Anyone who come to our city, can only walk a few blocks to discover many of the streets are paved to a certain section and then suddenly stop. In the other sections, the streets are full of mud when it rains, and when it’s dry your name can be written in the dust that lias settled on the porches and front rooms of the houses.
