BISHOP TYREE RETURNS HOME.
BISHOP TYREE RETURNS HOME.
Bishop E. Tyree, of 15 North Hill street, ther esident Bishop of the African Methodist Episcopal Church, returned to the city Thursday night, after an extended tour of his district, which comprises the state of Texas, Oklahoma and Indian Territories. While in the district the Bishop held his annual spring rally for education, for the fostering of Paul Quinn College at Waco, Tex., and the sum of $4,806 was raised. The spring weather in the Southwest has been about the same as was experienced in this section, and it is believed that had the weather been more favorable the amount of $5,000, which the Bishop had planned to raise, would have been almost doubled.
Rev. A. Gordon, of Houston, Tex. and a presiding elder in one of the Texas Conferences, accompanied Bishop Tyree to Nashville. Rev. Gordon will preach at St. PaPul A. M. E. Church Sunday morning at eleven will preach at St. Paul A. M. E. Church Sunday night at eight o'clock. Rev. Gordon is one of the ablest men in his church and is an excellent pulpit orator. Bishop Tyree will ad-Church Sunday night at eight o'clock. He will leave Monday morning at seven o'clock for Wilberforce, Ohio, to attend the summer session of the Bishops' Council.

PACE-MARTIN WEDDING.
Miss Lillian E. Martin, of 407 Eighth avenue, North, and Dr. William S. Pace, class '07, Meharry, were married Thursday evening, June 6, Rev. T. W. Johnson performing the ceremony. It was a quiet home wedding, witnessed only by relatives and a few friends. A number of nice and valuable presents were received. A menu of two courses was so

TATE WAS ONE OF ANIMATED PLEASURE AND JOY, AS THE GUESTS, MEN AND WOMEN, VIED WITH EACH OTHER IN MAKING THE OCCASION A JOYOUS ONE- LOVELY DRESSED WOMEN WITH THEIR SPARKLING GEMS MADE A CHARMING PICTURE.
Mr. George O. Boyd and Miss Anna Marie Tate, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. William O. Tate, were married at the home of the bride's parents, 320 Eighth avenue, North, at 7:30 o'clock Wednesday evening, June 12. Rev. W. S. Ellington, the popular clergyman and pastor of the First Baptist Church, officiated.
About 6 o'clock the guests began to arrive and at 7 o'clock the brilliantly lighted and pretty parlors, beautifully decorated with palms, ferns and cut flowers, presented one bright scene of animation and joy—richly begowned ladies, matron and maid, wearing fine and costly jewelry, sparkling gems that dazzled the eye, chatting and full of life, made indeed a beautiful picture.
At the appointed hour Miss Ruth P. McKinney began playing Mendelssohn's wedding march and the ribbon bearers Misses Palladium Compton, Etta Mai Cheatham, Cornelia Young and Ellena Compton entered, followed by the family, afterwhich came the groom and his best man, Mr. J. Frank Battle, Miss Maggie West, who was the only bridesmaid, entered alone followed by the bride leaning on the arm of her father, Mr. William O. Tate.
When the two young people took their places under the beautiful wedding bell, they were surrounded by friends, who were intensely interested in seeing their matrimonial bark launched upon the sea of wedded bliss by Rev. Ellington, who pronounced the sacred, yet joyous ceremony.
The bride presented a lovely picture in a gown of white satin chiffon over white silk, trimmed with bands of satin ribbon and lace. She wore a tulle veil which was caught up with a diamond brooch and carried a bunch of bride's roses and fern.
Miss Maggie West wore a lovely creation of white organdy, lace and tucks with a pink satin girdle. She carried a bouquet of American beauty roses.

in white organdy presented a scene of rare beauty. The entire arrangement of this beautiful wedding was under the direction of Mr. Lovell Landers, who merited much praise for the successful manner in which he carried out every detail. He was as signally happy in his conduction of this his latest effort as in the J. Blaine Boyd and Clemmons nuptial. In the receiving party were Mesdames Wm. O. Tate, Preston Taylor, Florence Kemp, N. J. Anderson, R. P. Moore, Callie McGann, A. B. Carter, H. T. Noel and Miss Quinetta Compton. Frappe was served by Miss John D. Thompson. Light refreshments were also served. Mr. and Mrs. Boyd were the recipients of many congratulatory telegrams and letters. They were also the recipients of many valuable, costly, rare and pretty presents, among which were quilts, household furniture, silver, cut glass, and many things wise and otherwise.
Mr. George O. Boyd is a native of San Antonio, Texas, where he was reared and received his early training, both educationally and as a printer. From his native home he went forth into the larger field of the world's busy activities, winning his way steadily upward in his chosen profession. Resigning the head of the Printing Department of Guadaloupe College, Seguin, Texas, he came to Nashville, where he is now connected with the National Baptist Publishing House, as one of its expert linotype operators. He is one of the most rapid and accurate operators of the linotype machine, that wonderful invention of the printers' art—almost humanlike in its workings—in this country. Mr. Boyd has also other business connections in the city. He is the senior partner in the livery business of Boyd & Battle. He is a young man of promise—businesslike and alert, which traits are indicative of success.
This was one of the prettiest weddings ever seen in Nashville, and if the smiling faces and hearty congratulations of their many friends augur anything, then the young voyagers may put forth upon the unknown sea with happy hearts and high hopes, believing they will be able to stem the currents and sail securely before adverse winds and at last enter safely the haven of their hopes. He who is now destined to pilot the way of her to whom he has plighted his faith, his life and his sacred honor, has in him all of the elements out of which are made skillful seamen, and it is predicted that he will make the voyage over life's tempestuous sea in safety, shunning with a mariner's eye the breakers on which he has seen many a vessel, for the lack of a steady pilot with a courageous heart and clear mind, go down. Let them ever be true to each other and hopeful of the future, for they went forth Wednesday evening under the blessings and benedictions of a host of friends, young and old.
NEG/O POET.
Prof, E. S. Brown, the poet, was in the city last week the guest of Miss Mary Work. Prof. Brown gave a recital at Lea Avenue Christian Church last Tuesday evening under the auspices of the Colored Y. M. C. A. He also recited at the musical at Spruce Street Baptist Church given by Prof. Towler. Prof. Brown left Thursday for Washington, Baltimore and town to fill an engagement. He will enter Howard University in the fall

FITTING PROGRAM OBSERVED
Children's Day at Greenwood Park Sunday Evening.
SHORT TALKS BY PASTORS, SUPERINTENDENTS AND OTHERS.
MANY OF THE LARGE NUMBER OF BAPTIST SUNDAY SCHOOLS OF THE CITY WERE REPRESENTED BY PASTORS, SUPERINTENDENTS, AND PUPILS—THIS FIRST ATTEMPT TO HAVE ALL THE SCHOOLS UNITE IN THEIR OBSERVANCE OF CHILDREN'S DAY IS DUE TO THE EFFORT OF REV. HENRY A. BOYD.
The first Union Children's Day in the history of Nashville was celebrated at beautiful Greenwood Park Sunday afternoon. Although the program was not to begin until 2:30 p.m., the people began to go out to the park about noon, and by three o'clock it is estimated that fully 2,000 men, women and children were on the ground, and still the crowds came—some walking, some in private conveyances and many hundreds on the cars. Scores of wagons lined the pike, carrying the school children from the end of the car line to the park. Although the day was a hot one, hundreds of children found the shades and spacious grounds at the park a pleasant retreat. They were refreshed by the cool and sparkling waters from the springs. They took an outing that will be long remembered. The program prepared did not begin until 3:30 owing to the constant stream of people that continued to come.
At 3:30 Mr. Henry Allen Boyd, the general superintendent and manager of the first Union Children's Day, announced that the program was about to be rendered. The exercises took place in the spacious auditorium at the park. This building is well adapted for such exercises, having a large stage and an inclined floor that offers a superior inducement over other auditoriums, and equaling that of the Union Gospel Tabernacle. The purpose of this union meeting, as outlined by Mr. Boyd, was for bringing together in Nashville each year the thousands of Sunday school pupils and workers who never get together, but who are working in one good cause. Such a religious exercise is calculated to do much good in a city like Nashville.
The program began with the opening chorus, in which all the Sunday schools present participated. Miss Georgia A. Bradford presided at the piano until the arrival of Miss Ruth Pearl McKinney, who was to conduct the music. Prof. L. S. Gray conducted the song service. The familiar airs that were sung attracted the attention of hundreds in the park, and soon a representative audience filled the auditorium. Rev. James Slaughter, pastor of Mt. Nebo Baptist Church, led in prayer. Then another soul-stirring song, from Celestial Showers, No. 2, a production of the late Prof. Wm. Rosborough was sung. "Our First Union Children's Day in Nashville," was the first subject discussed. Those participating in this were Rev. James Slaughter, of Mt. Nebo, Rev. E. M. Merritt, of Mt. Bethel Baptist Church, of East Nashville; Mr. James Hurt, superintendent of Mt. Olive Sunday School, and Mr. J. P. Porter, superintendent of the Spruce Street Baptist Sunday School. This discussion brought out very clearly the need of the Sunday school children and workers coming together at least once a year. Mr. J. Blaine Boyd sang a solo, "The Initation," from the Harp of Zion and B. Y. P. U. Hymnal, by Sherwon, who was one of the best song writers of his day. "The Need of a Children's Day" was discussed by Rev. G. B. Taylor, pastor of the Second Baptist Church, and Mr. Page, superintendent of the Mt. Nebo Sunday School. A solo, "Our Country Heroes," was sung by little Katie Albertine Boyd.
At this point, Mr. J. D. Crenshaw delivered an able address on "Children as Church Workers." Mr. Crenshaw is to-day one of the best orators in the city and his ability as a speaker was well demonstrated on Sunday afternoon. He has had years of experience in the schoolrooms of Texas, or twenty years he has been an

COMMENCEMENT AT NELSON
MERRY ACADEMY.
The Commencement exercises of
Nelson Merry Academy, Jefferson City,
City, Tenn., were very classic and in-
teresting this term, Although a
young school, it is doing a great work
for the uplift of falling humanity, and
the dissemination of those true moral
Christian principles that will ennoble
and enhance Christian character and
enable the boys and girls of our race
to take their places in life, asking no
favors saving that of right and jus-
tice,
Rey, B, M. Lawrence, B. Th,, Super-
intendent of Missions for the State of
‘Tennessee, a graduate of Roger Wil-
Mams University, preached the annual
sermon, which was full of thought,
logic and truth. Rev. Mr, Law-
rence seemed to be at his best and in
his wise and scholarly way preached
with power and eloquence, and did
great honor to himself, the race and
his grand old Alma Mater, Roger Wil-
liams University. The students and
the audience were more than delighted
with the sermon and especially to
have with them the distinguished di.
vine of Nashville, one whose life and
deeds for the elevation of his race and
the Baptist cause stands out in bold
relief. Rev. Lawrence made an ear
nest appeal to the Baptists and friends
of education of East Tennessee to hely
all they could in the rebuilding of
Roger Williams University.
The Cantata, “Jephthah and His
Daughter,” was rendered to the satis
faction of all. Too much praise can
not be given Mrs, Georgia B. Little
the music teacher of Nelson Merry
Academy, for the able way in whicl
the cantata was rendered. Under thi
wise supervision of Mrs. F. P. Coope

A. SUGGESTION.
As we have noted in these columns heretofore, we are gratified to note that the Board of Education has granted the request made last year by Prof. Frank Smith, of the Pearl High School, that manual training be installed in the schools provided for the colored children the same as the white. We are also gratified that the Board, seeing the need of additional buildings for the pupils of our race, has ignored the kicks of the copper-heads and ordered the erection of two new buildings and the repair and enlargement of one or two old ones. We appreciate this liberal spirit of the Board and thank the members individually and collectively.
But, while we have such an excellent board of education—men who represent the liberal, the better, nay, the very best element of the South, will it not be possible to still further improve our schools? Cannot we have the same facilities for our children as is provided for the whites?
President Howells, of the Board of Education, in his address to the graduating class of Pearl High School, aid, in substance, when announcing he addition of manual training to the course of study, that it was the policy of the board to add to the colored schools whatever system that had proved successful in the white schools. If this is the policy of the Board then we would suggest to Prof. Smith that then he makes his address to the next graduating class, that of 1908, he ask at night schools, or at least one night school centrally located, be opened for the colored youth.
That the night school for whites has proved successful no one who has observed the glowing reports constantly out will deny. These schools are invaluable to the white children who work in the factories. Their need for the colored children is too obvious to fill for a lengthy discussion at this time in these columns.
We congratulate Prof. Smith on the successful conclusion of his efforts in its matter and hope that while we have some of the best, the most liberal inded men upon the Board of Educa and a superintendent who desires improvement of our schools, he ask and secure other additions to rses in our schools. Our schools lay among the best in the country. want them to be the best.
A SOUTHERN TYPE.
Senator Pettus, of Alabama, on the day that his aged colleague, Senator John Morgan, died gave out an interview in which he said that the townsville inquiry should never have been instituted, and that a further investigation was but a waste of time and money.
Senator Pettus, in his senility, is a faithful speciman of a juror. We
sion of an old man, who preferred to be left to his own amusement at this time of year rather than to be seated in a comfortable committee room hearing the evidence of both sides, were he not typical of the average white man of the old as well as the new South. When there arises a question of veracity between a black and a white man the average Southerner forms his opinion and is ready to give his verdict before he hears the testimony. This is what Senator Pettus has done.
No amount of evidence would pause this irascible old gent to change the opinion he first formed and he has no patience with anyone who would even consider a black man's word, in sworn evidence, against that of a white man! Senator Pettus is a type of the Southern judge and juror that fill the jails and pententiaries with men who have not had fair trials.
Ray Stannard Baker, in his "Following the Color Line" is telling some truths that will put the Negro in a different light from that given by most magazine writers. He hits our race a few deserved raps for our shortcomings, but on the whole his articles, thus far, have been so sympathetic—he has stated the Negro's view so plainly, that if one did not know in advance that he is a white man, he would assuredly be picked as a Negro. In the June issue of the American Magazine he takes up the criminal side, the courts, and the schools of Atlanta. The courts of Atlanta are shown to be about like the city courts of Nashville—the policeman gives his version and then the judge fines the prisoner. Mr. Baker is getting to the meat in the cocoanut.
The Japanese question will not down. The representatives of the Japanese government in this country, in a signed statement claim that the facts in the San Francisco riots have been suppressed.
Mississippi is going after the lynching record again. Occasionally in these race riots when bad white men are hunting bad Negroes a few of each race bites the dust.
We are in receipt of an invitation to attend the third annual session of the Mississippi Business League which meets at Meridian June 26-28.
The Chattanooga lynching case is on, trial again. Once more we are presented with the spectacle of white men shielding their criminals.
NO COUGH—NO CONSUMPTION.
The coughs of consumption come and go, but not to stay; because a patient has ceased to cough or because he has done little or no coughing is not a sign of no consumption. Oh no, this treacherous foe to man and animal is only slumbering to awaken more powerful and dangerous. No matter how well a person appears, how long between the attacks, he is sure to return again and again, if only for short while and in a mild form. Bacteriologists assert that the bacillus tuberculosis (the germ of consumption) is almost indestructible. He survives heat at a boiling point and seldom dies in a zero temperature. He rises from the dried sputum of infected persons, and literally becomes "the flying death." He lodges in the throat, lungs, and any portion of the body that is suitable to receive him
Science has established the fact that the moon has an atmosphere. It is an extremely light one, but the fact of its existence makes it possible that there is life in some form on that satellite. Human beings could not live on the moon; they have a hard enough time here on this old earth of ours, especially those in such a climate as Kentucky and Tennessee. This Spring has been particularly influenced by the planets making it utterly imwithout the use of common sense in connection with it the money spent does but little good.
"Life for man and Death for consumption," is the watchword all over the world. So many complaints that are diagnosed as Dyspepsia, Nervousness, Heart Trouble, Malaria and a score of other complaints are nothing in the world but consumption pure and simple, yet how many people object seriously to have the disease called by the name of consumption; they stubbornly resist all efforts to follow the instructions of those who have had experience with the disease. The greatest of nature's object lessons is regularity. The coming and going of the seasons, the rising and setting of the sun, seed time and har-
we time our observe mathematical regularity. Man's every functions should be performed in like manner, especially that of keeping the body clean inside and outside.
This weather has been unusually cold for Spring, it has caused much sickness and many deaths. Consumption has been in the lead in claiming victims. One sad feature of this illness is when a sick man gets down to where the end of his finances is plainly in sight and his illness will not permit of his earning more the situation becomes desperate; then a man usually goes down, for a consumptive must ever be cheerful. But, tell me, who could be cheerful with an empty pocket and heavy responsibilities? Because you are of a consumptive family is no longer any good reason why you should look for the day of doom to arrive when that terrible disease shall have developed. Keep the stomach in good order and you will live longer; the stomach is the storeroom of the body and when the storeroom is affected everything goes wrong. When coughing be careful not to swallow any of the sputum. As the stomach becomes infected with the germ of consumption the chances are one for and nine against recovery.
A very rich person once offered $1,000,000 to the man who would discover a remedy that would renew his stomach and put it in first-class working order again. So we can readily see that this man knew the value of a good stomach. Put only plain, substantial food and a plenty of pure water into the stomach.
COMMANDANT SAYS GOOD WORD FOR NEGRO TROOPS.
By Associated Press
Washington, June 11.—Col. Scott, Commandant of the Military Academy, has made the conduct of the Negro troops stationed at that place the subject of a special report to the War Department, which is of interest in view of published rumors to the effect that the residents of Highland Falls have become apprehensive of disorderly conduct on their part. As a matter of fact, Col. Scott says, the conduct of the Negro troops since they have been at West Point has been admirable and flawless; indeed, he says it has been much better than that of the white regulars who preceded them at the post. There are very few of these Negro troops at the military academy, most of them being short term men connected with the regiments that have been sent to the Philippines, who were kept at home to avoid the expense of transportation to the Philippines and their return after a few weeks' active service, in order to be discharged.
REV. D. D. BUCK.
Rev. D. D. Buck, who is an author of merit, and well known in Nashville, has returned to the United States after spending the past winter in Canada. He has traveled extensively in this country for the purpose of becoming personally acquainted with its leading Negro business men, as he contemplates having his new book brimful of reliable information regarding the race and its progress in the business world. In a letter to the Treasurer of the Globe Publishing Company, which contained his renewed subscription, the reverend gentleman states, among other things, that the Globe is the best edited and best printed newspaper he has seen since leaving Nashville, and that it contains newsy matter concerning Nashville and its people in every issue. Mr. Buck will make Chicago his headquarters and will publish his new book some time in the fall.

CLARKSVILLE NOTES.
In this immediate community several approaching weddings for June are being announced, either clandestinely or with open invitation. One of the surprises will be the forthcoming marriage of Rev. Charles Carney and Miss Eliza Bowling, Thursday June 27. The wedding of Miss Modee Simpkins and Mr. John Taylor, of Chicago, will be solemnized at the residence of the bride's parents in Guthrie, Ky., Thursday, June 20, at 8:30 p. m. Mrs. James Meriwether will give in marriage her daughter, Estella V., to Dr. L. Ballenger, Wednesday, June 19, at Guthrie, Ky.
The Board of Education at its meeting last Sunday elected teachers for ensuing year as follows: Misses Emma Kay, Fannie Hopewell, Lillian Johnson, Bruetta Metcalf and Lizzie Ramey; Mesdames Willa Clemmons, Estiza Watson and E. D. Wells, Profs. J. H. Davie, W. P. Irvin, H. L. Lockert and I. B. McCutecheon. No one as yet has been selected as principal. The drama, "Tony the Convict," by the members of the Twentieth Century Club was witnessed by a large and appreciative audience last Tuesday night.
On last Wednesday evening, June 6, the sad announcement which caused widespread regret in Clarksville, and which came as a great shock to relatives and friends, was the death of Miss Louella Hutchings. While she was not a robust woman, she led an active life, and the illness which caused her demise was of short duration. She spent several weeks in El Paso, Texas, with the expectation of a partial recovery. The funeral services were held last Friday afternoon at Ebenezer A. M. E. Church, with a large number of friends gathered to pay their last respects. Revs. Lore and Gardner delivered the eulogies. The interment was at Mt. Olivet cemetery.
Twenty-three men were entered, passed and raised to the Master Mason's degree last Saturday night by Warfield Lodge F. and A. M. with Dr. C. A. Kelly as Master officiating. Much enthusiasm was manifested by the membership on receiving the new additions. This was the roster: Dr. M. W. Barker, Alex Battle, Ben Blakey, Arthur Bussard, Geo. Caruthers, Clay Chilton, Wash Dabney, Irving Daly, Henry Freeman, Wm. Diggs, Roy Hoin, Andrew Hopkins, Wm. James, Wm. Jenkins, Dan Kenner, Geo. Kimbrough, Silas Landers, Thos. Manier, Yancy Meriweather, Josh Quarles, James Roberts, Warney Ray and Thos. Shepherd.
He was an unsophisticated youth, having given up his residence in the rural districts, and being enticed by the glare of the city life, was led to question the mode of locomotion in its various phases. On beholding an electric car of ancient pattern, he mounted it without the least apprehension, and presently was speeding onward to its destination, thinking only of a position offered him as office boy by one of the prominent physicians. The transition from farm hand, carrying with it the many laborous duties, to that of office boy with its ease and comfort with the debating thought in his innocent mind during the short ride, when lo, the place desired was seen. He arose with an agitated air and beat a hasty retreat to the door. Not being accustomed with the city mode of dismounting, he found himself in a preceptitious heap, with several valleys and mountains on his head, from which flowed many a tiny stream. In a short while he will surely learn a few of the city's ways.

RESOLUTIONS TO THE MEMORY OF REV. H. C. OWEN.
At a meeting of the City Ministers' Conference of Nashville, Tenn., the following resolutions were adopted:
Whereas, The hand of divine Providence has removed from among us our beloved colleague and co-worker in the gospel of Christ from the scene of his temporal labors and divine ministry; and,
Whereas, We, the City Ministers' Conference, feel that we profited by his example and spiritual teaching and are desirous of testifying our respect for his memory and of expressing our earnest and affectionate sympathy with the household and the Tabernacle Baptist Church, Memphis, which we feel has sustained a great loss, though their loss is heaven's gain; therefore, be it
Resolved, That we tenderly condole with the family of our deceased brother, Rev. H. C. Owen, ex-President of the State Convention of the Missionary Baptists of Tennessee, in their hour of trial and affliction, and devotedly commend them to the keeping of Him who looks with pitying eye upon the widow and the fatherless. Be it further
Resolved, That in our natural sorrow for the loss of a faithful and beloved shepherd, we find consolation in the belief that it is well with him for whom we mourn, and that while we deeply sympathize with those who are bound to our departed co-worker in the ministry by the nearest and dearest ties, we share with them the hope of a reunion in that better world, where there are no partings, and bliss ineffable forbids a tear.
Resolved, further, That a copy of these resolutions be transmitted to the family of the deceased as a token of our respect and veneration for the Christian character of a good man gone to his rest and of the interest felt by them; and also that a copy be sent to the Nashville Clarion, organ of the State Convention, Nashville Globe and the Memphis Signal.

MR. W. W. COX, OF MISSISSIPPI.
Mr. W. W. Cox, of Indianola, Miss., was in the city Tuesday and Wednesday attending the commencement exercises at Fisk University, where his daughter was a student. Mr. Cox visited many places of interest in Nashville. He is one of the leading business men in Mississippi, and is naturally interested and wanted to see what the Negroes of Nashville are doing. After being carried over the city by several friends, he stated to a Globe reporter that he was indeed well pleased with the progress made in the
last five years by the business men. Mr. Cox is connected with three of the leading Negro banks in the United States. He is first Vice President of the Alabama Penny Saving and Loan Association, which ranks second in the lead of Negro banks in the United States. It is only outranked by the True Reformers' Bank at Richmond, Va. He is President of the Penny Saving Bank at Columbus, Miss., which institution is doing a big business under able management. He is cashier and the largest stockholder in the Delta Penny Savings Bank at Indianola, Miss. This institution has a capital stock of $35,000. Aside from this Mr. Cox is stockholder in five or six other banks in the state of Mississippi, as well as a stockholder in the Solvent Savings Bank at Memphis, Tenn. He left Wednesday night for his home by the way of Birmingham, Ala.

Mrs. Anna Walker, the reporter of the Globe, is quite ill this week.
Miss Della Buchanan is still indisposed, also Miss Miss Lillie Hall. Mrs. Geo. Dickerson, corresponding secretary of the alumni of Walden University, is visiting the home of Mrs. Goodwin and Mrs. Copeland for a few days' rest. The Children's Day exercises were very interesting. The program was carried out in order. The whole Sunday school marched in like soldiers, with their purple and white badges on. Very encouraging words were spoken to the Sunday school and children by our faithful pastor, Rev. N. Smith, which were highly appreciated by all.

It is not known whether Miss Phillips will return for the second year, but it is said that if she does not return to Oberlin she will take up studies under other competent teachers.

EXPRESSIONS OF SORROW AND
ESTEEM FOR THE LATE
The papers have been watched daily hoping to see a favorable change in the condition of Maj. John McCann, who had been ill for quite a while, but to the sorrow of friends and citizens he succumbed to his illness. The loss of this most excellent gentleman is not only felt in his devoted family, but throughout this city and county. The pleasant relations which he had with the corps of Davidson County teachers has perpetuated him in our memories. His hospitable spirit and gentlemanly ways will always be remembered by us. As he was compelled to cross the Great River, we, the teachers of Davidson County, deeply deplore his loss. We pray God's choicest blessings on his surviving family through life, and especially through these sad hours of bereavement.
Committee—R. H. Brown, Chairman; Rev. S. Thompson, Maymie Thompson, Mary A. Bennett, Narcissia E. Ross.
RETURNED FROM OKLAHOMA.
Miss Martha Wells, of Fourteenth Fourteenth avenue, North, who has been teaching in Oklahoma for the past nine months, arrived in the city Monday evening. Miss Wells has made quite an enviable reputation as a teacher and the faculty of the institute where she was employed, as well as the citizens of Muskogee, were loath to give her up even for the vacation season. She will doubtless remain in this city during the summer months, though it is probable that she will pay a flying visit to the Jamestown Exposition.

Mrs. Wayne Warfield will entertain the club at its next meeting.
BANQUET TO HIGH SCHOOL
Following the graduating exercises of the Pearl High School last Thursday night, the young men of the city and the alumni association of the school tendered a banquet in honor of the class of 1907. Quite a large number of the young people of the city and several visitors were present and joined in the festivities. Dancing was the principal amusement of the evening and the spacious rooms of Mercy Hospital furnished excellent facilities for those who delight in the joys of Terpsichore. Light refreshments were served.
NEW LITERARY CLUB.

"We are little soldiers," was sung by a group of nine boys. Miss Clara Alexander sang a beautiful solo. Rev. Mr. Bruce, of the Presbyterian Church, preached an inspiring and helpful sermon. Miss Willie Wade, of Columbia, was here this week. Mrs. Lizzie Wade is visiting in Columbia.
A Sylvan Outing will be given by Mr. G. Sharber and Mr. John Blair next Monday. Twenty or thirty pairs are expected. Music, reading and recitations will be had in the shade of river oaks.

The people, old and young, seemed to realize that it was indeed Children's Day, and all put forth their best efforts to make it a success, and it was indeed a success. Songs, recitations and papers were well rendered. Rev. A. J. Leath, the pastor, and Rev. C. H. Simmons deserve praise for the success of the celebration.

We think this preparation will give entire satisfaction when used to arrest decay and falling out of the hair. If used as directed, it will tend to change dry, wiry, discolored hair to glossy and luxuriant tresses, and will keep the scalp clean and healthy. It is germicidal and antiseptic, and will relieve dandruff in a short time.

SPORTING NEWS.
Should the Negro ball players of to-day continue to swat the horsehide as they are doing now, they will be heard of the world over, as were the men of the fistic art. Below is what some of the real ones are doing.
The Philadelphia Giants, who have been playing since early season are down to playing form. They have accomplished the following: Philadelphia Giants 3; Frankford, 0. Batteries—Giants: McCllan and Petway; Frankford: Mueller and Hare (it is to be remembered that Petway is a Nashville boy.)
The Leland Giants, of the East, and the Logan Squares met a few days ago. The Leland Giants, an all-Negro team, defeated the Logan Squares, a mixed aggregation, with such a favorite personage as Mike Donlin, of the New York Nationals, in the lineup; but "Rube" Foster struck him out just as he did any of the other lighter hitters. The score will tell the rest: Logans, 3 and Lelands 6. The Leland Giants will possibly continue to win until they meet the Philadelphia Giants, who are thought to constitute the strongest team.
The Philadelphia Giants' record of last season, whose color is the only barrier between them and the big leagues, played 145 games with the best teams of the East and West. Of these they won 108, lost 31, and tied 6, a record hard to beat.

In the Ring.
The days of Peter Jackson and Joe Walcott are passed, but we still have with us such good ones as Jack Johnson and Joe Gans.
It is too bad to think that all the heavyweights have drawn the color line. That of course knocks out Johnson. As to Gans, he must let white fighters of his class draw up all the articles, after which there is hardly a chance for a gorilla, much less a lightweight Negro man, but at that, when he accepts he usually puts his man to sleep.
The Jockey.
The wonderful performance of Jockey Lee last week has never been equaled before, nor probably ever will be. Think of one jockey winning the card!
Should you have placed $20 on his first mount you would have a $180 drawdown. On the second $1260. Well, you say, I will go him once more, can't lose but $20 anyway. So this time place your late fortune on Woolstone at 11 to 2 and you have $8,190. Of course you never had anything and don't want anything; just put all on Alencon at 6 to 5—now you think of quitting with $18,018. Lust his next mount looks better than all, so you say, Let me have that at 11 to 10, this time you pull down $37,836. After being crazy for about 30 minutes you will say there is only one more go and that is between a lot of dogs and a race horse with J. Lee up, so let her go, yes, all that I have at 7 to 2, then give me all my money, just $170,242, and I go home, never to see a race track again.

J Lee not being satisfied with the above record, brought The Abbott home in the Latonia derby five lengths in front, while five others also ran.

Mr. Blaine Boyd, manager of the National Baptists, will take his team on a tour through Tennessee and Kentucky. The National Baptist team claims to be the best in the South and is expected to play a matched game with the Hopkinsville, Ky., team.
GIANTS AT HOME.
The Standard Giants Baseball team has returned home after a stay of three weeks touring the South. Their first two games were lost to Memphis. The boys left home somewhat discouraged, having started out without Bowman ad Petway, their best slabmen. Recognizing this handicap, they played excellent ball in Mississippi with the Holly Springs team. The game was a complete walkover for the Nashville boys and encouraged them enough to "clean up" all they went against thereafter.
***
J. Lee, better known as "Jimmie" Lee, the Negro jockey who rode the six winners at Churchill Downs yesterday, established for himself a record that far surpasses anything in recent years, and, taking in consideration the prices laid against his mounts, it is one of the most remarkable performances ever achieved on any race course.
Lee is strictly a Southern product. He was born in Graceland, La., twenty years ago, where his father and mother are still living. The advantages of the country life gave him the opportunity of riding a great deal as a mere boy, and his fondness for horses grew into a desire to become a jockey. Six years ago Lee started his career at the Crescent City track, New Orleans, where for a time he was engaged in exercising horses. His marked ability in handling the thoroughbreds attracted the notice of the horsemen and he was given an occasional mount, and each successive year he has been gaining in proficiency and has earned for himself the title of "The Black Demon," an appellation that is appropriate in view of his remarkable performances last week.
Lee is a quiet, unassuming Negro boy, and his great success is attributed to his good judgment in rating a horse, his fearless riding in tight places and his temperate habits and strict attention to business. He is under contract to J. B. ("Rome") Respess, of Covington, but has been riding as a free lance, as Respess has no horses in training at the Downs, and from his past performances it looks as if Respess has the best rider in the country to-day.—Joseph DeWees in Hopkinsville Morning News.
