CANSLER PASSES AWAY TUESDAY NIGHT, AUGUST 13 At Home of His Father, Knoxville, Tenn. PROF. CANSLER WAS PROMINENT IN THE AFFAIRS OF HIS RACE, BOTH STATE AND NATIONAL— FROM HIS HANDS DROPPED THE MALLET AND CHISEL AS HE FELL ASLEEP WHILE CARV- ING OUT HIS LIFE'S TASKS. Prof. W. L. Cansler died at the home of his father, at Knoxville, Tenn. Tuesday night, August 13. He had been sick about two years prior to his death which was not unexpected by his many friends. Prof. Cansler was prominent for many years in the affairs of the race. He was a graduate of Roger Williams University. He was a member of the Board of Trustees of that institution and was always deeply interested in its welfare. He was some years ago M. B. head of the Mailing Department of the National Baptist Publishing House. He was instructor for a number of years in the city schools where he did valuable service in the cause of education. There are many young men and women out in the world busy at life's tasks, who received much of their early instruction and training under him. The impress of his indefatigable labors as an instructor will live on through the years in the achievements of men and women who once were his pupils. His former pupils respected him living; dead they will cherish his memory. It is fitting they should do so. Prof. Cansler had a host of friends throughout the entire country, both in religious and fraternal organizations, who, though bowing submissively to the will of Heaven, will mourn his loss. The intimate friends of Prof. Cansler knew he was a serious man who took life seriously and seriously performed its duties. Death found him at his post of duty, not having relinquished the performance of a single one of the tasks of his many important positions. At the time of his death Prof. Cansler held the following important positions: Secretary of National Baptist Convention, Secretary of Tennessee Baptist State Convention, Secretary of Stone's River Association, Secretary of Endowment Board K. of P., Clerk Pleasant Green Baptist Church and Superintendent of Pleasant Green Sunday School. His re-election to these positions of trust from year to year indicate the confidence reposed in him. While he has passed over the River of Death to rest under the shade of the Tree of Life on the other side, he will leave many who will revere his memory as an earnest man of affairs and faithful Christian worker. The remains of Prof. Cansler reached Nashville from Knoxville Thursday morning, and the funeral services will take place this afternoon at two o'clock from Pleasant Green Baptist Church, Jefferson street. Miss Hazel Thompson, who for the past two years has taught in the A. M. A. schools further south, will remain in Nashville this winter. DR. COLEMAN'S RESIDENCE AT BESSEMER. The beautiful residence of Dr. W. H. Coleman, who about three years ago, married Miss Mattie Kirkpatrick, of this city, is one of the most up-to-date and latest improved dwelling houses in the city of Bessemer, Ala. The house has six rooms, but is a thing of architectural beauty. A broad circling north fronts a well kept lawn with two main entrances approached with ennaitold walk and stone stens. The parlor, drawing and dining rooms are connected by large double sliding doors, by which the three rooms can be made one large beautiful hall. Dr. Coleman was very reticent when asked by a Globe representative as to what he had spent in nutting up such a palatial dwelling, but it was learned from those in a position to know that fully $5,000 had been spent in the site, building and furniture. Notwithstanding Dr. Coleman has not been out of school more than five years, he enjoys the largest practice in Bessemer, and Bessemer is one of the best business towns in the state of Alabama. Much work is being done there by Negroes. It is only a few miles from Birmingham and can boast of having a number of well established business places, such as dry goods stores, undertaking establishments, confectionery stores, shops etc., conducted by Negroes. Mrs. Coleman has gained a host of friends and is indeed well liked by the Alabamaans. Rev. L. Kirknatrick, the father of Mrs. Coleman contemplates visiting his daughter real soon. MEHARRYITES IN BUSINESS. It is remarkable to see the success being met with by the Meharry students in all parts of the United States, said the Globe man upon his return from a trip through Alabama, Mississippi and Louisiana, where he had been on important business. On his trip down he stopped over at Birmingham, and there he met fully a half dozen of the professional and business men from Meharry and Walden University, as well as Fisk. The Crystal Drug Store, at 1526 Second avenue, is possibly the latest development in Birmingham of the Meharrvites. Dr. Chester A. Wilhite, Ph. C., of the class of 1906, is the proprietor. He is assisted by his brothers in conducting the business. At Mobile there is the Shaw Pharmacy, a magnificent establishment that has been put up since Dr. E. O. Shaw left school, about seven or eight years ago. It is by far one of the best in the South. It is complete in every particular and speaks well for Mobile, as well as for the proprietor. There are scores of professional men making a good show, but the two just mentioned in the business line, seem to have outstripped the others in the same length of time. RATES ANNOUNCED TO WASHINGTON. It is learned that the most flattering excursion rate that has been announced for some time has been given by all railroads south of the Ohio and east of the Mississippi to Washington, D. C., and return. The rate of one fare plus twenty-five cents for the round trip has been put on for this occasion. Tickets will be sold by most of the roads on September 8 to 11, with a return limit of 15 days from date of sale. It is also announced that the tickets will be extended to October 1, by depositing them with the validating agent at Washington and by the payment of a fee of fifty cents. The four roads out of Nashville are already preparing to take in this trip, as it will enable them to visit the Jamestown Exposition at Norfolk, Va., as well as make a trip to New York and Philadelphia. A special Pullman can will go out of Nashville over one of these four roads straight through to Washington. And speculation has it that the Memphis delegation, the Jackson delegation and the Clarksville delegation will join the Nashville people at some point and proceed to Washington. NOT YET, BUT SOON! The Grill Club, of South Nashville, will give their annual banquet Friday, August 30, 1907, and its members are doing everything in their power to make it a swell affair. LAST SATURDAY NIGHT TWO OF NASHVILLE'S ACCREDITED POLICEMEN, WITH TWO OUTSIDE PALS, ASSAULT A WELL-KNOWN CITIZEN OUT ON THE SAD ERRAND TO GET ASSISTANCE TO HELP WITH HIS DEAD WIFE. On last Saturday night two policemen and two civilians committed one of the most cowardly assaults ever heard of in the history of Nashville. Mr. Frank Mills, who lives at 1806 Jefferson street, was out at a late hour on a very sad mission. Mr. Mills' wife died about midnight, and as there were only a few friends present, he was compelled to go out for assistance. There was no one he could send, all of the friends present being ladies. Mr. Mills had been to the place and was returning home. When he was near the Jubilee Hall yard gate on Jefferson street he saw four men break across the street toward him. He was already unnerved over the great loss he had sustained, and was in no mood to receive another great shock. When he saw the men rushing toward him he called to them to stop. He least suspected that two of them were officers, for they had their coats off and were lounging around on the curbstone. Their appearance led Mr. Mills to believe that he was about to be attacked by a gang of cutthroats. He had nothing to protect himself with save a little old broken knife that would be harmless to a three-year-old boy. On they came rushing upon the man already stricken, and now before he can arrange to bury his dead wife he must be possibly murdered himself. But he kept cool. He called out to the intruders: "Who are you?" and to the great surprise the response was, "We are policemen." But they were not all policemen. Two of the men were not officers, for one of the men with the officers was only recently discharged from the fire department for insubordination. He was clearly recognized by Mr. Mills; but despite this fact he felt no further fear since policemen were there to protect him. He was mistaken, though, for the policeman, who had put on his coat and was thereby an officer and guardian of the peace, was the first to assault him. He did not wait to find out who it was nor what his mission was, but proceeded to administer a severe beating, pummelling the helpless and heartbroken man in the face with his fist and would not desist when Patrolman McKinstry told him that he knew Mr. Mills. When the blood-thirsty policeman had finally been persuaded to listen to the statement of his victim he remarked, "Well. I don't know whether you are telling the truth or not," and McKinstry said to him. "Well, old man, you had better get in." Mr. Mills was an object of pity when seen by a Globe representative. The man was almost exhausted and mortified beyond expression. He said he had never been interfered with by a policeman before in his life, and he has lived in Nashville over twenty years. He is a contracting painter and previous to the death of his wife had conducted a grocery on Jefferson street next to his home. With tears streaming down his bruised cheeks, he said: "And I cannot go out on the streets to make preparation to bury my dead wife without being assaulted by an officer of the law." Mr. Mills intends to report the case to the civil service commission, and his friends have expressed a desire to rally to his aid. CAMP MEETING. The camp meeting at 1518 North Cherry street, two blocks above the Bouna Vista car line, grows better and better each night. The audiences increase in size every service and the interest in the meeting continues unabated. Services are conducted by Isabella Horton, supported by different preachers. TENNESSEE SCHOOL FOR THE BLIND. The State of Tennessee may not be contributing an equal share of the school funds to the educating of the Negro youth blessed with health, strength and with good sight, but certainly she has deported herself admirably in her care for the poor unfortunate blind children. The Colored Department of the Tennessee School for the Blind located in South Nashville on Tennessee street, is an example of the care the thought and the affections with which the state, through its officers, is looking after these children. Not much attention, however, is paid by the parents of such children, and especially has it been noted that few of them are interested in those seemingly neglected ones that nature has tied to them by family connections. The colored department of this school has been established for more than a quarter of a century. In fact, Mrs. S. M. Lowe, the present principal, has been at work in this department for twenty-seven years. She has travelled extensively. Hardly a summer passes but that she spends it or a part of it in different parts of the state, presumably for rest, yet it is not known that she ever ceased from her unfiring laborers in the interest of these unfortunate little ones. At present she is in the extreme eastern portion of the state looking for a little recreation, and at the same time thinking and planning for the coming session of her school. It is hoped that every parent within the borders of this great Volunteer State, if they have a child totally or partially blind, will make an application to Mr. John V. Armstrong, Superintendent of Blind Institutions for the State of Tennessee at Nashville, who is equally interested in the care of these children. He has sent out a very strong letter all over the state urging parents to assist him in listing and getting into school these children. The following letter was received by a representative of the Globe from Mrs. S. M. Lowe, who is matron of the Colored Department: "Believing that you will willingly give a moment of your valuable time to the service of humanity. I take the liberty of addressing you in behalf of the blind children of the state, who, in consequence of their affliction, are unable to attend the ordinary school and acquire the education deemed so necessary to the success and happiness of the children of this generation. "Whereonon are more than one thousand of these unfortunate children in Tennessee, and some of them may be found in every section and in almost every community. Their parents and friends seem indifferent to the great blessings which this school freely offers all children with defective vision. "It is erroneously thought that those only totally blind are admitted into this school. The privilege is extended to every child of school age who cannot see to read or who can only master lessons with pain and difficulty. "If there are any of these children in your neighborhood I most earnestly trust that you will tell them of this institution and urge them to apply for admission, thereby assisting in giving hope and bringing sunshine to the hearts of the poor, helpless ones who now sit in ignorance and darkness. "If you will kindly send me the names of parents of any of these children I shall be greatly obliged. "J. H. ARMSTRONG, Superintendent." School will open September 1. S. M. Lowe, Matron of Colored Department. The present outlook for the opening of the school on September 1 is extremely bright. It will be remembered that last year two of our competent young ladies assisted Mrs. Lowe. They were in the person of Misses Minnie Mae Hunter and Elizabeth Sarah Wells. It is not known at this writing whether an addition to this number will be made for the term or not. At any rate the present principal and matron will not lose their interest, and the children will be favored with the same, if not increased number of instructors, and at the same time receive the benefits of all improvements that are being made from time to time along this line. There are people as interestd, living right in the shadow of the school as one could be, yet it is never made manifest by their attention or their remarks concerning the school. THOMPSON STATION NOTES Mr. W. J. Blanton visited here last Saturday. Mr. W. J. Blanton was the guest of Mr. and Mrs. O. Darden, also Mr. and Mrs. Alexander Smith. Miss H. L. Woldridge left last Sunday for Franklin, where she will spend the remainder of the summer. TWENTY FIFTH ANNUAL SESSION DIS'T. GRAND LODGE OF TENN. ODD FELLOWS' HALL PLACE OF MEETING—WELCOME ADDRESSES AND AN ELABORATE DINNER AT GREENWOOD PARK TUESDAY—GREAT FRATERNAL MEETING—LARGE NUMBER OF VISITORS IN CITY DURING THE WEEK. The largest delegation in the history of the Grand Lodge and Household of Ruth assembled this week to participate in the twenty-fifth annual session of the Grand Lodge under the jurisdiction of Tennessee. Fully one hundred men and twenty-five women, representing the thought of the organization were here to work for the principles represented by the G. U. O. of O. F. The appearance of the delegates was of such a high order that the whole body has received words of praise upon all sides. Long before the hour of meeting on Tuesday the Odd Fellows Hall was packed to its fullest capacity and when Prof. W. S. Thompson, Grand Master, called the meeting to order for the usual opening service, it was hard to obtain order. Prayer was offered by Rev. Mr. Coleman. The Household of Ruth was also called to order by the presiding office. About 9:30 a.m., the lodges assembled at the Odd Fellows Hall and, preceded by a battalion of Patriarchies, under the direction of Capt. A. B. Carter and Grand Lodge Officers, also the Ruth's Juvenile, marched through the streets of the city to the beautiful auditorium in Greenwood Park, where the local committee had prepared to welcome the visitors to the city. The Auditorium was decorated with bunting and palms. At 11 o'clock, Rev. Preston Taylor, Master of Ceremonies, in a short address, called the meeting to order, after which Rev. Mr. Coleman offered invocation, which was followed by excellent selections by a musical organization from East Nashville Owing to the illness of Mayor T. O. Morris and Governor Patterson, the welcome address was delivered by Lawyer Grant, who said in part, "On behalf of the Lodges of Nashville, we are glad to welcome you to this our city and also to this beautiful park, which represents the genius of the black race of which we should all feel proud. We are welcoming you to our city, the grandest on earth. Knoxville may boast of her beautiful city: Memphis of her's; but none can excel Nashville in hospitality to her visitors." Prof. W. S. Thompson, District Grand Master, responded on the behalf of the Lodges of Nashville. Several responses were made by different members of the Order. After the exercises the delegates were served dinner on the grounds. There were fully five hundred people out to the park. The cars were crowded carrying the people; up until ten o'clock they continued to go. There was plenty to eat and everything one could wish in the line of odibles. In the afternoon the Old Plantation furnished amusement for the people, the skating rink was also opened and all seemed to be enjoying themselves. On Wednesday evening the concert and entertainment were grand. The exercises were opened by a chorus composed of members of Households of Ruth: praver by H. A. Malloy; and a number of addresses, which made the evening very enjoyable. The delegates were carried away with the two companies A and B, which entertained the audience with their drill. On Thursday the assembly met and prepared for work at an early hour. In the evening a grand banquet was given in honor of the delegates and visitors to the annual session by the Lodges of Nashville, at the Odd Fellows Auditorium which was delightful. Thursday's session at Odd Fellows Hall was well attended. There was an election of officers and an enormous quantity of business transacted, every moment of the time being taken up. A banquet closed the day's proceedings. The sessions of the Grand Lodge close to-day. (Continued on Page 3.) The Palace Shaving Parlor. EVERYTHING UP-TO-DATE.

Here's a new one—the rainy heart. The 8th of August opened up in this beautiful section of Tennessee with the members of Warfield Lodge Masonic rites, expecting the biggest and liveliest crowd known in the history of the Emancipation celebration. Up until 2 o'clock the day was an ideal one, but it seems that the promoters failed to tip the weather man and consequently that August and mighty one gave Paducah, Ky., the sunshine and Clarksville one of the wettest days in the history of the celebration. With little or no shelter at the park, most of the celebrators were drenched to the skin, and dresses and hats of brilliant colors lost all their luster. The officers of the Masonic fraternity of this place have had the rainy heart every since. One of the social diversions of the week was the hayride given in honor of the lady visitors, last Monday night. The jolly crowd met at Central Drug Store and waited the coming of the wagon. Some thirty-three more or less took their assigned places and was off for Miss Flora Caraway's residence in Providence. Al- J. H. Copeland, Prop. Telephone Main, 1761. Wesley Cunningham.

The first hill encountered, caused the two stalwart horses to offer strenuous objections. The crowd walked much to their chagrin until level ground was found and then they "hay-rided" some more. Seven hills and seven walks took most of the jolly spirit out of the crowd, and when Providence was reached it seemed a veritable haven of rest. Marked preparations are being made by the Twentieth Century Lodge K. P. for Labor Day celebration at Porter's Bluff Park. Hopkinsville, Bowling Green, Elkton, Paducah and Nashville Pythians are invited. The contest for Queen of Labor Day is growing in interest, and at this writing nearly one thousand have been polled with Miss Lillie Keeesee leading with 115 votes to her credit. Mr. Williams Jenkins, who has been with Kleeman & Co. Meat Market, has resigned his position as chief butcher. Mr. Jenkins is thinking of engaging in the same business for himself. Mr. W. A. Rayfield, a well-known architect, formerly of this city, has located at Birmingham, Ala. Mr. Rayfield has been quite successful in his new field. The marriage of Miss Beulah Z. Overton to Mr. Allen Whitfield, both of Chicago, Ill., and former resident of this city, Wednesday, July 24, 1907, was one of the prettiest mid-summer affairs of recent years, and came as a pleasant surprise to their many friends and relatives. Mrs. Whitfield was a teacher in Clarksville city school for several years. Last Monday evening Mrs. Pally Snorden pleasantly entertained at whist in honor of Mrs. B. O. Whitfield and Mr. Thornton M. Overton, of Chicago. Mr. Wiley Johnson, Jr., formerly of this city, now of Dubuque, Ia., is visiting parents and friends. Miss Lillie B.

Mr. Biddox Haddox, of Nashville, was called to the bedside of his two little boys, who have been staying with their aunt, Mrs. Annie McKissack. Mr. R. McKissack, our brick mason, is in poor health. His absence from work is quite a hindrance to the people who are building. Mrs. Brancis Polk had quite an accident last Monday. She was stepping out of her dining room and by some means a stick caught her skirt and came very nearly breaking her knee. Prof. J. W. Stephenson is speaking of buying a lot in Nashville. Mr. Mat Sharber, one of Spring Hill's most substantial farmers, is having his fence repaired. Mr. Jno. Gipson, of Nashville, is visiting his father and mother, Mr. and Mrs. Sam Gipson.

There was a shooting match held here last Friday by the white citizens and quite a number of colored people attended the interesting scene.

YOUTHFUL CRIMINALS. Governor Patterson by pardoning eighteen boys last week administered a rebuke to the penal system of this state and made plainer than ever before the urgent, the dire need of an institution where wayward youths could be confined with the ultimate end in view of reforming them. From time to time individual cases where youngsters, almost too young to differentiate between right and wrong, who had been convicted of felonies have aroused public sentiment, but, so far as we know, never before have the facts of how child imprisonment is practiced in this state been brought before the public in such a concrete form. The prisoners whom the Governor pardoned, ranged in age from 10 years to 18 years. The former case being that of a colored lad sent up from Franklin County for burglary, while the latter was that of a white youth committed for twelve years from Blount County on the charge of rape. The total ages of the 18 boys was 245 years, making an average age of 13.5 years. The average of the 11 colored boys is 12.36 years and that of the 7 whites is 15.28 years. The conditions made bare by the executive clemency of Mr. Patterson are apalling and should cause an honest blush of shame to spread over the people of this proud state who have always congratulated themselves upon our humane institutions. They show that while meeting out justice too often mercy is an unknown and an unwelcome visitor. They show that though legislatures have been importuned by Governors—notably Robt. L. Taylor—to provide for the reformation of youthful criminals, the law-making branch of our state government has been inexcusably derelict to one of its highest obligations. Governor Patterson may be criticised for the wholesale pardoning of these boys. Such is to be expected. There are those who, like Shylock, would demand the pound of flesh, no matter what be the conditions so long as they did not affect their selfish interests. Others, whose motives can not be impugned, may criticise him because they believe that once a court has convicted an offender he should be compelled to serve to the utmost the sentence imposed. Regardless of these, Mr. Patterson has seen what he conceived to be the right course and has followed it. In so doing he has focused the limelight on what to humane persons appears to be an ulcer in the penal and judicial systems of our state. We hope that Gov. Patterson's action in this case will so awaken the people of Tennessee that at a very early date the proud old Volunteer State will take its place with other progressive and humane states by THE NASHVILLE GLOBE, FRIDAY, AUGUST 16, 1907 erecting a reformatory where youths criminally inclined can be confined separate and apart from hardened and confirmed criminals. THE PASSING OF PROF. W. L. CANSLER. In the death of Prof. W. L. Cansler, Nashville loses one of her most progressive citizens. Mr. Cansler was long identified with the educational work of this city, and in religious work he was known from one end of this country to the other, because of his identification with the National Baptist Convention, the largest Negro convention in the United States, and other religious organizations. Locally, until his health began to fail, he was connected with all the religious organizations which worked for the betterment of the individual churches, his denomination and the race. As a lodge man, his popularity can be readily seen when the fact is stated that at the meeting of the Knights of Pythias, held in Knoxville last month, though scarcely able to be present, he was re-elected unanimously and by acclamation to one of the most important offices in the gift of the Order. In other fraternities his true worth was recognized in a like manner. Mr. Cansler had his peculiarities, but beneath what at times seemed to be a rough exterior there was a warm, tender heart that ever beat with the constancy of a true friend. Few, indeed, will be the former school boys and girls who were students of "Billy" Cansler, who will not feel like dropping a tear on hearing of the passing of this, one of the favorite teachers of their youth. They knew him. They loved him. The various organizations with which Prof. Cansler was connected, the city of Nashville, and the Negro race have sustained a loss which they could ill afford by the death of William L. Cansler. THE STRIKE OF THE TELEGRAPHERS. The strike of the telegraphers has made the daily papers of the country assume the appearance of a scrap book filled with clippings appealing to various trends of thought. It has further drawn the attention of the public to the irrepressible conflict between organized labor and organized capital, a battle between a labor trust on the one side and on the other side two companies between which it is claimed there is an agreement to monopolize, without competition, the telegraphic business of the country. This strike, which if it continues to spread will cause great losses to all lines of business, was caused, ostensibly, by a California telegrapher, who was discharged because he refused to live up to the agreement made by the Union in that state recently. The man was discharged and the Union demanded his reinstatement to which demand the Company refused to accede. Then from one office to another, until all the country seems to be involved, the Union men have left their keys. In a contest between capital and labor the sympathy of the masses is always with the latter when there is the slightest semblance of a just complaint upon its part. The huge sums of money paid out in dividends, the large amounts often put aside by these mammoth business enterprises as undivided profits, the seeming disregard by many of these corporations for the rights of the public, make the sympathy naturally drift towards the men who are doing the drudgery which pile the great fortunes of the owners of such concerns. The public is willing to take the side of the striker when he has a real grievance. It realizes that some of the most salutary reforms ever accomplished in the industrial world have been brought about by the organized opposition of labor, but it has little patience with a sympathetic strike brought about to uphold a workman who will not live up to his own agreement. The telegraphers undoubtedly have the right to demand higher wages and doubtless they deserve it, but they should free themselves from the odium of striking to uphold unworthy members. A Japanese newspaper contained a very significant cartoon recently, one which, if it is representative of the feelings of the masses of that country, should cause the hot-headed San Franciscoians to ponder before they renew the anti-Japanese agitations. One portion of the cartoon represented the great ovation tendered the Russian Minister, Kuropatkin, when he visited Japan before the Russo-Japanese War. The other represented the proposed visit of Secretary Taft and the mighty welcome that will be tendered him. Under the former appears, "After General Kuropatkin visited us we had war," under the latter, "After Secretary Taft ——?" The "lily white" election commission at Chattanooga refused to appoint Negroes to act as registrars, even when some districts are composed almost exclusively of colored voters. Formerly though the majority of the Commission were democrats in some wards, the Negroes were recognized when appointments were made. The republican member seems to coincide with his confrerees. Between a white republican and a democrat there is precious little difference these days. Another thing is true, every Negro in sight now is not a republican. "Peaceful Bill" Taft speaks in Ohio next Monday at Columbus. It is expected that he will sound the administration's keynote for the next Presidential Campaign. "Bill" will doubtless try to offset Foraker's pronouncement upon the Brownsville affair. If so he has a rugged path to follow. Now they say that officers of the U. S. Army in the Philippine Islands are sending souvenirs to their friends at the expense of the Federal Government. Why not? Roozevelt takes pleasure trips on a Government yacht. The Negro newspaper is not the only newspaper that can be read in five minutes these days. Some white dailies this week could have been read in less time. DEATH OF MRS. STRATTON. Mrs. Sadie Verillee Stratton, wife of Mr. George L. Stratton, of Fourteenth avenue, North, died Saturday, Aug. 10, after an illness of several months. The funeral services were held at Mt. Zion Baptist Church, of which she was a member, Monday, Aug. 12, Revs. S. Mattheus and A. C. Holder officiating. The church was filled with sorrowing friends who came to pay their last tribute of respect to the deceased. She was a faithful Christian and a devoted and loving wife. She leaves to mourn her loss a father, husband, many relatives and friends. Interment was at Mt. Ararat with Al sup & McGavock funeral directors. HARD KNOCK ON HIS PATE. A man whose name was not learned was knocked down and badly hurt by a rock thrown by one Sol Bass, who took French leave after seeing he had got his man down and out, if not for good, at least temporarily. The difficulty occurred in the alley leading off Jo Johnston avenue, between Fourth and Fifth avenues, Tuesday night. The cause of the difficulty, it is said, was jealousy. The injured man was douched with water and had to be worked with cosiderably before he was brought back to consciousness. The policemen on the beat went in search of the irate Sol, hoping to bag him. But Sol thought any other part of the city would be more comfortable for residence than Jo Johnston avenue—the Pike—the scene of his late escapade. DINNER PARTY. Mrs. Nannie Porter, of 808 Cedar street, gave a handsomely planned dinner Tuesday in honor of Miss L. C. Cage, of Oklahoma City, Okla. The day was pleasantly spent in social chat interspersed with music. There was present besides the honored guest, Mrs. E. C. Coffey, Mrs. Amella Moore and daughter, Miss V. L. Moore, of Walden; Dr. R. F. Boyd, Mr. and Mrs. John Porter, of Eastland; Miss Odessa North and Mrs. Willie Mae Powel. MR. JAMES YEARGAN. The many friends of Mr. James Yeargan will be glad to know of his return to the city. He has spent the last two years traveling extensively, but finally located in Kansas City, Mo. He was called home to the bedside of his mother, who was very ill but is now rapidly recovering. Mr. Yeargan is stopping at his brother's home, 2020 Jefferson street. He will be in the city for several days yet. There will be several social entertainments given here in his honor. We will close out all spring and summer goods regardless of price. Men's and Boys' Clothing, Hats and Furnishing Goods, Men's Ladies' and Children's Shoes, all up to date styles, must be sold. IN HONOR OF BRIDAL PARTY. Mrs. P. J. Young entertained in honor of the Elliott—McNeal bridal party at her residence, 74 Murray street, on the evening of August 5.

Davis, Mesdames Lula Randals Johnson, of Knoxville; W. H. Oden, J. S. Davis, D. W. Draper, Mack Blake. Myrtle Blake and Mattie D. Walker served frappe. The evening was pleasantly spent in whist and other games. At eleven o'clock the party led by Mr. McNeal and Miss Elliott were ushered into the dining room where a two-course menu was served after which they returned to the parlor, and the time was pleasantly spent until a late hour. CHURCH EXTENSION BOARD. Tyree Camp of the Church Extension Board of St. John A. M. E.Church met at the home of Mrs. Sarah Eulis, 434 Ninth avenue, North, last Friday evening, Mrs. E. C. Coffey, the President, presiding. The attendance was small on account of many members being out of the city. The members were pleased to have in their midst Mrs. Price Seaton and daughter, Mrs. R. C. Erwin and little son, Price Eaton Erwin, Jr.: Miss Ina Patterson, of Covington, Ky.; Mesdames R. A. Phillips and Lee Woodard. Miss Patterson spoke of the woman's work in the churches of her home. Mrs. R. A. Phillips delivered an excellent address on "Success." At the close she recited an original poem and was roundly applauded. During the social hour, the hostess, assisted by Miss Gertrude Mayberry and Mrs. Nannie Porter, served a four-course menu. A vote of thanks was rendered the hostess for her hospitality. REGISTRATION BOOTHS ..ARE NOW OPEN. The first of this week the registration booths in the city and Davidson County were thrown open to the public. Voters are alive to the coming election and are rapidly falling in line. They are preparing to have a say in who shall be the law dispensers in the next city administration. The black voters are unusually active. Many things will come up for adjustment before the next set of officials that vitally concern the Negro, and he is very much concerned about them now, when he can prepare to have a say in the matter. The time is short. The booths will close the first of next week. DELIGHTFUL RECEPTION. The home of Mr. and Mrs. Andrew Cartwright, 1722 Patterson street was the scene of a reception last Friday that will be long remembered by those present on account of its beauty and the exquisite taste which marked the whole affair. The honorees of the occasion were the sister and nephew of Mrs. Cartwright, Miss Alice Stevens, Chicago, and Mr. J. Thomas Caruthers, recently graduated from Amherst College, but now located at Bordentown, N. J. The house was beautifully decorated with ferns and flowers. From five to eight o'clock the Flinch Club, composed of a number of the married element, assembled to meet the honorees and later the evening was devoted to the younger set. After a delightful time spent in playing various games the guests assembled in the dining room where supper, consisting of green peas, chicken croquettes, pickles, beaten biscuit, stuffed tomatoes with mayonnaise dressing, sherbet, blanched almond cream, individual cakes, candy. The color scheme of pluk and white was carried out in all the table decorations. Those present were: Mesdames R. S. White, J. C. Thompson, Josie Bradford, George White, B.

Tuesday evening while passing under the trestle on Pearl street, the horse attached to a buggy containing, messrs. J. Fite, A. G. Fite and H. G. Fite, of Fite Bros. Pressing Club, became frightened at a passing train. The occupants were thrown to the ground and slightly injured, Mr. A. G. Fite receiving the most serious injuries. The buggy was completely wrecked. The horse ran up—Pearl street, but was stopped by a man whose name the Globe man could not learn. ONLY NEGRO CONDUCTOR. Not only does Henry Vanness of Rockville, Conn., enjoy the distinction of being the only Negro railroad conductor in the world, but he also has the honor of being one of the men who have been longest in continuous railroad service in the country, having been employed as a conductor for ty-three years without a break. He has been employed on the New York, New Haven and Hartford railroad since it was opened to traffic in 1863. —Exchange. PROF. R. B. HUDSON COMING. While a Globe man was on a southern trip, he stopped in Alabama and spent several days at Mobile attending the Baptist State B. Y. P. U. and Sunday School Convention, where he met Prof. R. B. Hudson, a prominent member of the Convention. Prof. Hudson is one of the energetic business men of the state of Alabama, being well up in secret organizations. He is principal of the city schools of Selma, which position he has held for more than twelve years; owner of one of the largest business blocks in the city; one of the partners of Hudson Bros. Coal Company; secretary of the Alabama Baptist State Convention and assistant secretary of the National Baptist Convention. Although a young man, he is identified with all that goes to make up the business men of his city and state. Prof. Hudson is scheduled to visit Nashville within the next two or three weeks on business connected with the National Convention. STONES RIVER ASSOCIATION. Many of the ministers and Sunday school workers of Nashville attended the Stones River Association and Sunday School Convention at Eagleville, Tenn., last week. Rev. E. M. Lawrence is Moderator of the Association, while Rev. J. C. Fields, pastor of the Pleasant Green Baptist Church, is President of the Sunday School Convention. Among the delegates to attend from Nashville were Revs. W. S. Ellington, C. H. Clark, E. M. Lawrence, J. C. Fields, W. L. Craft, Mr. Lovell Landers and a few more. The Association and the Convention were both a success notwithstanding it was considerably out of the way from considerably out of the way from all railroad connections. It was held in a section of the state where Negroes are doing well and own valuable property. It is said that a neat sum was realized for the Roger Williams University movement. Mrs. W. H. Grant, of 636 Fogg street, entertained the Carnation Club Monday afternoon in honor of her guest, Mrs. Lillie Brown Gibson, Cleveland, Ohio. The additional guests were Mrs. Julia Bramlett and Mrs. William Henderson. The home was charmingly decorated throughout.

The H. T. G. M. Club made its initial bow as an entertainer last Monday evening with a whist party at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. L. P. Corrington, Jefferson street. The occasion proved to be one of the most delightful social events of the summer season. The H. T. G. M. succeeded in arousing wide-spread interest among their friends because of the mystery surrounding the meaning of the letters, which it has chosen for a name, and all the guests last Monday evening were filled with anxiety with the hope that the mysticism surrounding the club would be cleared away, but the young ladies made it so pleasant for all and the progressive whist contest developed so many exciting games that the meaning of the name was, for the time, forgotten. From the ringing of the bell for the beginning of the whist contest, until Miss Bessie Martin, time keeper, announced "last game" interest in the progressive match was at a white heat. Several individual players exhibited great skill, but the first prize for women, a belt buckle, went to Miss Jennie Childress, who won nine out of twelve games played. Mr. J. Frank Battle captured the gentleman's prize, a silk neck tie, by winning ten out of twelve games. The booby prize, a toy coffee mill and a drum went to Miss Minnie Hunter and Mr. Robert Green respectively.

THE most sacred ordinance that can be observed by all churches is that known as the Lord's Supper or, in other words, Sacrament. We do not think it is in keeping with these sacred ordiances of the Lord's Supper in church now-a-days to try to administer it with out the proper vessels. Every Church Ought to Have a First-Class Communion Set. They can have them made out of the best grade of guardruple-plated table silverware if they desire them. The Church Supply Department of the National Baptist Publishing Board has just received from their factory a new lot of this high-class ware, and would take pains in showing them to any one. The Prices are Within Reach of All and Terms are Reasonable. No church ought to be willing to use glass dishes or the like for these ordinances when they can have the best grade of silver at moderate prices.

UNTIL the large number of people who are never seen in churches can be assured that every church in this vicinity will have a set of seats that will be clean, comfortable and inviting, they will not be seen inside a church. Many churches will supply this long-felt want if they could do so at prices and on terms within their reach, thus increasing their attendance, drawing on the unusually large number of people who do not attend the churches, and which would evidently result in every service being crowded. A barrier has been in the way in the form of high prices, shoddy goods and no terms. This barrier has been removed by the Church Supply Department of the National Baptist Publishing Board, which has presented the new style church seat (its own creation and its own make). These seats are constructed of the best grade of hardwood. They are built by the best skilled mechanics and have proven to be the most comfortable ever offered at the prices. The terms on which they can be purchased are so easy that any church, regardless of its financial condition, can secure a set of these by a small cash payment, have the seats installed and pay the remainder in monthly or quarterly payments to suit their own financial condition. How long, with such inviting inducements offered, will it be, before every church in and about Nashville will get a set of seats? References can be given to the Nashville churches by referring them to Rev. L. Kirkpatrick, pastor of the St. John Baptist Church, Pearl St.; Rev. J. L. Harding, pastor of the North Third Avenue Baptist Church, both of whom have seated with new style church seats; Rev. G. B. Taylor, pastor of the Second Baptist Church, corner Stevens and Deluge Sts.; Rev. Wm. Haynes, pastor of Sylvan Street Church, Shelby Avenue, who have installed the church pews. --- ```markdown ``` FOR FURTHER INFORMATION APPLY TO THE National Help Yourself Why Don't You TAKE ADVANTAGE OF OUR SHOE BARGAINS?

William Green was fatally stabbed by John H. Hyde in Dortch's saloon, 119 Broadway, last Saturday night. The resort was packed with men who were quietly enjoying themselves. Some say that Hyde approached Green, who was sitting at a table, and immediately the men grappled and fell to the floor. Hyde arose and left the place, going toward Second avenue. Green remained in the saloon some five or ten minutes and left. He fell dead at the corner of Broadway and Second avenue. It was found that he had been badly wounded by a knife thrust, the blade entering the body in close proximity to the heart. The murdered man was about thirty years old and his home was at 204 Fifth avenue, South. The alleged murderer is between 20 and 25 years of age and lives 828 Twelfth avenue, South. Hyde gave himself up to the police at the station house about 8 o'clock Sunday night. On Monday morning he was arraigned in the City Court on the charge of murder and pleaded guilty. Judge Baker bound him over to the Criminal Court. GIRL INJURED. Rachel Battle, a girl about 12 years old, was badly hurt on Monday morning while passing the store of the O. K. Houck Piano Company. It appears that a part of one of the heavy plate glass windows fell and struck the arm of the girl. She was carried to a private infirmary, where her wounds received the attention of the physicians in charge. It is stated that she will never be able to use the arm again. The child's parents are in the employ of Finley Dorris, the funeral director OFFICER SHOOTS MAN. On Saturday night there was intense excitement at the western approach to the Church street viaduct. Upon investigation a representative of the Globe learned that a policeman named Alley had shot — Jordan in the house of Bessie Piper in Comer's alley, a thoroughfare west of Eleventh avenue, between Church and Grundy streets. The officers went to the house to arrest Jordan on a charge of being disorderly, and he says that the man, who was lying on a bed, arose and came toward him with a knife in his hand. The officer, according to his story, fired in self-defense, the bullet entering the body just below the heart. The unfortunate man was taken to the City Hospital and received careful attention at that place. Wednesday afternoon the physician in charge of the case informed the Globe office that Jordan was "resting easy." Jordan's version of the affair remains untold. NEGRO BANKS. Negroes have found out that the only way to get a financial standing and rating in the commercial world will be to open their own financial concerns, and throw themselves into the money market, thereby getting an insight on the advance and decline in this almighty dollar question. It will be noted with much satisfaction, and possibly with a degree of pleasure, that but few cities in the South are without a Negro bank. Some of them have two well established banks, said a well informed gentleman to a Globe representative. When asked how many banks there were owned and operated by Negroes in the United States, he said that he thought there were thirty-five, but that his memory was not very clear. It is known, however, said he, that they are being organized almost every month. The latest and possibly one of the strongest in the South is the Southern Bank at Jackson, Miss., of which the Bankers' Register states has a paid up capital of $50,000. They have only been open since September, 1906. There is another bank in Jackson known as the American Bank & Trust Co. Birmingham, Ala., also enjoys the distinction of having two banks. The People's Banking Company of which W. L. Lauderdale is the president, and which institution is doing a remarkable business, and the Alabama Penny Savings Bank, of which W. R. Drittiford has the distinction of being the oldest bank president in point of service in the race. Then there are two banks at Vicksburg, Miss., and it is in this place that Nashville is represented, in the person of T. G. Ewing, Jr., who is cashier of the Union Savings Bank. The Lincoln Savings Bank is the name of the other bank at Vicksburg. It is astonishing to see that in the largest cities it is impossible for the Negroes to get close enough together with their moneys to open these institutions. There is not a Negro bank in Montgomery, Mobile or New Orleans, yet either of these cities could support one with case. The smaller places seem to have the advantage. For instance, Bessemer, is preparing to open a bank with a capital stock of $25,000. One half of this amount is already subscribed. The movement is under the direction of Mr. W. B. Smith, Dr. W. H. Coleman and others prominently connected there. That they will succeed is a foregone conclusion, as these men promise to do their uttermost and with the confidence of the people they already have, success is assured. The bank at Memphis is enjoying wonderful prosperity, while the OneCent Savings Bank of this city has al- ready established and maintains the greatest standing ever attained by an institution in so short a time. But they can not continue to grow unless the representative men and Negro organizations will patronize them. The last comptroller's report of the One-Cent Savings Bank showed that the same healthy condition and marked in crease noticeable in the December report, was apparent in every respect. It is hoped that the Negro Bankers Association, organized recently, as a result of the Negro Business League, will stir up the business interests along this line. TURNER NORMAL. Rev. J. A. Jones, A. M., D. D., Principal of the Turner Normal and Industrial School, Shelbyville, Tenn., is off for an important trip to the western part of the state. He went directly from here to Memphis, and from Memphis out to meet several district conferences. He hopes to do much in the way of raising funds for the new building now being erected for the school at Shelbyville. These rural district conferences make good showings for their denomination. Rev. Jones is also expected to visit other districts. He is working diligently and with a degree of success for the upbuilding of the school. He proposes to install quite a number of recitation seats and a large number of new automatic double school desks. These will be put in for the opening of the present school term. Rev. Jones stated to a Globe representative that it was his intention to make the Turner Normal Industrial School one of the best educational institutions in the state of Tennessee run exclusively by Negroes. COLUMBIA NOTES. Mrs. Mabel Berry and baby, Madge Marie, of Hopkinsville, Ky., are the guests of Miss Maggie E. Kelly. Dr. and Mrs. C. F. Crews, having spent a month with Prof. and Mrs. Kelly, parents of Mrs. Crews, left Sunday for their home in St. Louis. The Sunday schools of St. Paul and Big Bethel A. M. E. churches, of which Rev. S. L. Howard and Rev. T. W. Hampton are pastors, had a joint picnic at Sandy Hook Tuesday, August 13. Mrs. Lenora Lawrence Keith has returned to Chattanooga after quite an extended stay in Columbia. Quite a number of Columbians attended the Grand Lodge of Odd Fellows in Nashville this week. Mrs. A. M. Kelly and Prof. A. T. Morrell were delegates to the Grand Lodge of G. U. O. of O. F. held in Nashville this week. --- BRIGHT----EDMONDSON. Miss Martha Edmondson and Mr. Clarence Bright were quietly married last Wednesday evening at St. Paul A. M. E. Church. Rev. C. H. Boone performed the ceremony. The bride vore a very becoming white embroidery dress and white satin girdle with long streamers at the back and carried a bonquet of white carnations and ferns. The bride came in leaning on the arm of her cousin, Mr. John Edmondson, who afterwards gave her to the groom. Mrs. Hattie Perkins was matron of honor and Miss Lula Lewis was bridesmaid. The best man was Mr. Ben Manning, of Memphis, and Messrs. Charlie Scruggs and George Hicks were ushers. The bride was the daughter of Rev. N. L. Edmondson, who was pastor of the A. M. E. church at Florence, Ala., at the time he met his death, about six years ago. Many valuable presents, consisting of cut glass, silver, etc., were received, also a check from her uncle, Rev. D. C. Edmondson, of Birmingham. The bridal party went from the church to the home of Mrs. Brooks, on Grundy street, to the reception. Dancing was the feature of the evening. At a late hour a three-course menu was served by Misses Ada and Mayme Douglas and Hattie Edmondson. VISITORS ENTERTAINED. On Wednesday night, Aug. 7, a club of young ladies gave a very enjoyable house party at the home of Miss Lula Grant, No. 1614 Heiman street, Miss Lucy Cage and Mr. Fulton North, of Oklahoma, being the honorees. Music and games were the principal diversions of the evening. At a late hour a light ice course was served. Those participating were Misses Magrie and Alberta Stubbs, Sadie Winston, Lucy Berry, Minnie Bramlett, Mayne Brown, Hattie Mullens, Lady Stringer, Jennie Porterfield, Sadie Lee Dobson, Georgia Watkins, Laura Coleman, Georgia Buford, Louise Wilkerson and Lula Grant, Messrs William Boger, Arthur Stump, James Johnson, B. J. Hadley, Oliver Dismukes, Ernest Coles, Johnson Cockrill, R. L. Williams, Anthony Porter, Joshua Crittenden, J. W. Franklin, John Sims, Robt, Dobson, Rufus Duncan, Luther Bolden, Perry Barnes. 8 FLAG AND DOLL DRILL. About 200 people witnessed one of the best juvenile concerts given in Nashville recently. The program was rendered at the Spruce Street Baptist Church Monday night, August 21. The principal numbers on the program, and possibly the most attractive ones, were the two drills, the flag drill by the larger girls and the doll drill by the little tots. They showed exceptional training and executed orders in the formation of the drill with preciseness and ease. Miss Jennie Dunson was the manager of the concert and much credit is due her for the showing made. She had selected children from all churches and all parts of the city, thus drawing upon a large number of visitors who spent the evening very pleasantly. Some special numbers, recitations and soloscial numbers, recitations and solos were also rendered pleasingly. The affair was a financial success. REV. W. L. LAUDERDALE TO VISIT NASHVILLE. Rev. W. L. Lauderdale, D. D., of Birmingham, Ala., has practically decided upon a trip to Nashville. Dr. Lauderdale has not been to this city for more than five years. His business connections have kept him confined solely to the state of Alabama. He is president of the great Southern Industrial Home and Insurance concern that has written over two million dollars' worth of insurance this year, and which has branch offices in most of the cities of the state of Alabama. He is also president of the People's Banking Company of Birmingham, which institution, although young, is doing a remarkable business. Dr. Lauderdale possesses a 1906 model gasoline auto-car and is one of the best chaffeurs in Birmingham. He drives the car with speed as well as perfection. He is the only Negro in Birmingham owning an automobile. His trip to Nashville will be one purely of business. He contemplates opening a branch office of his insurance company in this city, and will do so if he can get the co-operation of business men in this city. --- RUN DOWN AND BADLY INJURED. Mr. William McHenry was run down and badly injured in the un-town district Monday by one W. A. Conner (white), who whipped up his horse and seed away, without stopping to ascertain the injuries of the victim of his careless driving. Mr. McHenry received severe external bruises and, it is thought, internal injuries. Mr. McHenry is from Spring Hill, Tenn., where he is well and favorably known. Judge Baker fined Conner $10, which was light in view of the almost criminal mischief he had done, and his heartless indifference toward his victim in not stopping. DR. DENNY ILL. Dr. W, D. Denny, pastor of Bethel A. M. E. Church, on Tenth avenue, South, is very sick at his home, 1306 Fourth avenue, South. Dr. Denny is one of the leading physicians in Nashville, and a very prominent minister in his church. GEORGE KING PAINFULLY HURT. George King, a workman in the National Baptist Publishing House's manufacturing department, was run down and painfully injured near the intersection of Jo Johnston and Third avenues, about 6:30 o'clock Monday morning while on his way to work, by a white man driving a delivery wagon. King was assisted to his room at 318 Jo Johnston, where he is now doing fairly well. The driver of the wagon had King's wounds dressed and compensated him for his loss of time to his satisfaction. SUDDENLY CULLED HOME SUDDENLY CALLED HOME. Miss Laura S. Harris, of Memphis, who has been spending some time visiting in Chattanooga and on Lookout Mountain since the adjourning of the Baptist State Convention, arrived in the city Saturday Morning last to spend a few days as the guest of Mrs. Lillie M. DeWees, of 1027 Ament street. Tuesday Miss Harris had the misfortune to receive the sad intelligence of the death of her younger brother, who had been ill only a short time. She had been informed as to his illness, but it was not known that he was approaching the brink of eternity, and therefore her people did not urge her to cut short her vacation and return home immediately, as they were desirious of her finishing her stay as she had planned. Miss Harris left Tuesday night for home. She was accompanied to the station by a number of young people who tried to make her as comfortable as possible preparatory to taking her leave on the sad journey. MEETS DEATH IN A CELL. A prisoner was found dead in a cell at the station house Sunday. His name was T. F. Peyton, a native of Columbia, but he had resided in this city for some time. He was an employee of the Schlitz Brewing Company, it is said. Peyton was arrested Saturday on the charge of being un THE NASHVILLE GLOBE, FRIDAY, AUGUST 16, 1907. der the influence of liquor, and disorderly conduct. He made no complaint when the key of the cell door was turned upon him and the police had no idea that there was anything wrong with the man until Sunday morning, when he was found dead. The lady with whom Mr. Peyton boarded declares that he was not under the influence of liquor on the day of his arrest. She says he was subject to fits and on Saturday he seemed demented and spent a part of the time in in praying and crying. She thinks he he died in a fit. M'NEAL-ELLIOTT WEDDING The wedding of Miss Elizabeth Elliott and Mr. A. E. C. McNeal, of Tuskegee, took place Wednesday evening at 8 o'clock at the home of the bride's sister, Mrs. A. J. Bright, of North Hill street. About seventy-five relatives and friends witnessed the ceremony, which was performed by Father Kuhns, of Jamaica, and Rev. T. W. Johnson. The plan of the wedding, though quite simple, was very artistic in effect. Ferns and trailing vines festooned over the doorways being banked with magnolias and vines festooned over the door ways and windows. Under an arch of foliage and ferns the impressive ceremony of the Episcopal Church was performed. The waiting guests were entertained with a musical programme. Miss Martha Wells sang, "I'd Live For Thee, I'd Die For Thee," and "Love Me and the World is Mine," was rendered by Mrs. H. A. Cameron. The wedding march was played by Miss Alberta Smith. During the ceremony she played the "Flower Song." The bridal party was led by two little ribbon bearers, Jeannette M. Bright and Aileen D. Streater, who wore pretty white organdy dresses and blue sashes. Through the aisle thus formed entered the groom with his best man, Mr. F. J. Work, followed by the maid of honor, Miss Lillian A. Bright, who walked alone. Miss Bright's gown was pale blue mull trimmed with val lace and blue tucks. Her gloves and slippers were blue, and she carried a bouquet of pink dahlias. The bride was escorted to the altar and given in marriage by her nephew, Dr. J. W. Bright. The bride is a strikingly beautiful brunette; and was very handsome in a gown of French mousseline. A beautiful creation of fine lace and dozens of tiny tucks. Over it her tulle will fell from a bunch of orange blossoms. Her bouquet was of white orchids. She wore a gold necklace and the wedding ring, gifts of the groom. During the reception which followed the guests were registered by Miss Carrie E. Walker. Mr. and Mrs. McNeal left on the four o'clock train on the wedding trip and will be at home after September 1, in Key West, Florida. Her going away gown was a brown check taffeta, with a white silk blouse, tan hat and gloves. Mr. McNeal has charge of St. Albans Episcopal Normal School at Key West. A large collection of valuable and useful presents were received. MARRIAGES. Henry Anderson and Nettie Semway. James Smith and Florence Naiper. Alex. Rutherford and Tennie Sutton.

Mrs. Adelia Mills, the Popular Jefferson Street Grocer, Passed Away The many friends of Mrs. Adelia Mills will miss her pleasant smiles, for on last Saturday night she breathed her last at her home, 1806 Jefferson street. Her husband, son and daughter-in-law and a few friends were by her side during the last moments, and looked on eagerly as the soul took its flight to the unknown beyond. The funeral services were conducted at St. John A. M. E. Church, Monday afternoon at 2 o'clock, by the pastor, Dr. T. W. Haigler, assisted by Revs. Felix Mays and W. S. Ellington. Each speaker said words of high praise concerning the life of Mrs. Mills, which seemed to impress the large audience deeply. The obituary read by Dr. Haigler sets forth a life that was beautiful and worthy of emulation. OBITUARY. Mrs. Adelia Mills was born in Augusta, Ky., September 20, 1862. She was the daughter of Richard and Harriet Bean, and lived happily in the home of her girlhood until she was sixteen years of age, when death called her mother from labor to reward. A short time after this sad occurrence, Adelia went to Cincinnati to live with relatives. It was in that city that she met Mr. Frank Mills, and they were married in 1885. They lived happily together twenty-two years. Last Saturday night at the hour of 12, the loving tie that bound their hearts as one was severed, and the spirit of Adelia Mills went to meet its Maker, the God who giveth and who taketh away at his will. Mrs. Adelia Mills was a Christian woman. Her church and its interests were a part of her daily life. She was always a help to the weak and a support to the poor and needy and sick and afflicted. She had a kind word, an encouraging word, a message of love for every one with whom she came in contact. Surely a good and noble woman has fought the good fight, won the victory, and is now at the throne of our Maker. Next to her religion Mrs. Mills placed her family circle. She was a devoted wife and loving mother. True as the needle which points to the North Pole was she to everything that was of worth to her domestic interests. Two children were born to Mr. and Mrs. Mills, William Franklin and Howard Clio; the latter and her husband survive her. In conversation with Mrs. Childress, a dear friend and neighbor, she said that she had two experiences during her sickness, and felt that there was something she had not given up. After deliberating upon the matter she reached the conclusion that it was her boy she was clinging to. She prayed to God to relieve her mind of him, which he did. She was conscious of her death. Every time she closed her eyes she would see them arranging for her funeral and she asked the Lord to remove that from her mind, and her prayer was answered. On Tuesday of last week Mrs. Mills said to her daughter-in-law, "Mattie, take care of Clio; take him to church, for you will never do any good unless you live close to the Lord. Take care of your father, and he will be a friend to you both if you will treat him right." Mrs. Mills was a member of Rebecca Court of Calanthe, No. 3, I. O. O. C., and Eastern Star Chapter, No. 8. Her last official act was to attend the State Grand Session of the Court of Calanthe one month ago. Although her physician advised her not to make the journey to Knoxville, she felt that her duty must be fulfilled. After the session she returned to her home and took her bed. Although under the care of the best physicians nothing could be done to save her life. Truly a good woman has gone. May we emulate her good traits, serve our Master as she did, and at last meet our dear friend, sister and comrade in that home which is prepared for the final faithful. The body was laid in a beautiful black plush casket, which was ladened with many wreaths of flowers. The following were active pall bearers: D. A. Hart, Charles Porter, M. V. Vuford, Levi Adams, James Pepper, Charles Dangerfield. Interment at Greenwood Cemetery. LOOKS SUSPICIOUS It looks from the prolonged visit of Hon. A. N. Johnson that he intends going into the undertaking business in Nashville. He has been gathering up data from the Board of Health and has been seen about the Boyd Building a deal and only smiles when told that it is reported that he is going in business here. He bears the reputation of being the ablest business man in Alabama, and having sold out there, it is believed he is about to stop in Nashville. Owing to the strike of the Knights of the Key, the sporting news is somewhat shy this week. *** The Next on Tap. As both the National Baptists and the Nashville Butchers claim the championship of the city league it has been decided to play for the coveted honor on Monday, August 26, at Athletic Park. As these teams are equally strong a hard battle is on tap. The pitchers of both aggregations are of the spit-ball variety. It is to be hoped that while the Baptists love water and plenty of it, it will not rain on that date, as was the case on their last outing. In order to see the last and best game of the season of '07, come out on the above-mentioned date at 3:30. There will be an old timer on the side lines. *** We would like to hear from some of the fast skaters. That is sport, too. *** What is the matter with the Utopia Gun Club? Has it ceased to be so soon, or have all the members gone to the resorts? * * * It is rumored that the entertainers of Nashville have a plan on foot to uncork one of the biggest social events that was ever attempted in the South on or about Oct. 15. So set your good clothes ready as you will need them if you wish to cut any ice. ```markdown ``` The game of Monday, August 12, between the Stars and Butchers would have been a good game had not the Stars made errors at critical times; but after all, the score was close—5 to 4 in favor of the Butchers. The Butchers have challenged the National Baptists for a game to be played not later than August 26. ```markdown ``` Special to the Globe. Mr. S. M. Dickson, the president of the North Nashville.Tigers, says that he intends to have one of the fastest minor teams in the city of Nashville next season. It will be headed by E. Whittaker, the swiftest second baseman in the squad, with Warner, Vaughns, the heavy-hitting first baseman, as captain. The N. N. T. played 30 games last season, winning 27 and losing 3. GANS EXPECTS ROUGH BATTLE WITH BRITT. Champion Will Take No Chances on Coming Bout with Californian. "Everybody tells me that this fellow Jimmy Britt is a hard man to whip," said Joe Gans when he arrived from San Francisco yesterday. "While I never say I am sure of winning a fight, I can say now that I am always trying, and that ought to count some. I have been training for eight days up north and I will be at weight inside of a week without hurting myself. "Take chances? Not for mine, Nelson took chances the other night. He could have signed with me for a $40,000 purse, but he went against Britt for a little money and Britt whipped him. That was Nelson's hard luck, for he may never get a chance to fight for a big purse again. I have a big purse in sight with Britt, and it would mean a big loss to me to let him win. That is one reason why you can bet that I will be ready to put up the best fight that is in me." Asked about his physical condition, Joe said: "Some people think that the Goldfield fight has affected me. I have not been in the ring since the Herrman fight at Tonopah and I don't know, to be dead certain. I can say, though, that I have found no traces of it so far. One reason why the Nelson fight did not hurt me is that I did not take any punishment. All I had to do after the tenth round was to stay there and let him shove me around the ring. He wouldn't fight, so that is all there is to it."—Clipped * * * ADJOURNED SESSION. The District Conference of the A. M. E. Church, which recently met in Gallatin, Tenn., will hold an adjourned session at Payne Chapel A. M. E. Church on Monday, August 19, 1907, to wind up the unfinished business. A special effort will be put forth in the interest of education. The churches are endeavoring to raise a sufficient amount of money to complete the main building at Shelbyville, Tenn. Several of the leading ministers in the Tennessee Annual Conference will be present and a successful meeting is anticipated. F. C. DOUGLAS LODGE M.E.B.I. K P CINCINNATI, OHIO PLATE I.
