STEWART WILL LECTURE SUNDAY AFTERNOON AT MOUNT OLIVE BAPTIST CHURCH. At 2:30 Sunday afternoon, December 22, the first lecture to men only will be delivered at Mount Olive Baptist Church, by Chas. Stewart, of Chicago. The subject of the lecture is "Sowing and Reaping." Mr. Stewart, who is president and manager of the Stewart General Press Bureau at No. 9 S. Wood street, Chicago, Ill., with Southern headquarters at Tuskegee Normal and & Industrial Institute, and Eastern offices at 307 St. Paul street, Baltimore, Md., will discuss this in a heart-to-heart talk with the men of Nashville. He will sandwich in between his subject a very important question "Are we a race of weaklings?" There has not been a man before the public better prepared to discuss this subject and give an answer to the above question, than the coming speaker. The attention of Nashville will be directed towards Mount Olive Church on Sunday afternoon. The schools, both collegiate and grammar, with their male teachers and students, have been invited. Every minister in the city is invited with his male congregation. The program will not be a lengthy one, as the main feature of the evening will be Mr. Stewart's address. There will be excellent music for the occasion. Mr. Frank Teasley will preside at the large pipe organ and a male choir will furnish the singing for the evening. The newspapers have already heralded Mr. Stewart's coming. Hence the indications are that the spacious auditorium at Mount Olive will be taxed to its uttermost for this occasion. At the meeting of the Ministers' Conference last Monday morning it was decided that each pastor should make special announcement at his morning service Sunday. The same was true with the A. M. E. Ministers' Alliance. Hence every man and every boy of reasonable age should make it their duty next Sunday afternoon to at tend the lecture by Prof. Chas. Stewart at Mount Olive Baptist Church. No race of people needs a heart-to-heart talk more than the Negroes of Nashville. Recognizing this fact, Mr. Stewart was induced to stop over in Nashville en route to his Chicago headquarters to make this address. He has just made his rounds, and after finishing the work of the African Methodist Conference in Texas, where he was with Bishop Tyree and others, he reaches Nashville over the Southern route from points in Alabama and Texas. The recent action of the Business and Professional League of Nashville, in endorsing the coming of Mr. Stewart, and the promise of its Executive Committee to support by their presence the lecturer, will help swell the attendance. The male citizens of Nashville will have an opportunity to show whether or not they are interested in receiving the advice that will help them along all lines The pastor of Mount Olive, Rev. Dr. Clark, has promised to have a full attendance on the part of his members. He stated last Sunday at the morning and night services that he was highly pleased with the advertisement already given this lecture, and was satisfied that Mr. Stewart would entertain the large audience that would be certain to greet him. Nothing is left undone to make this heart-to-heart talk with men a success. CARD OF THANKS. The ladies constituting the Busy Bee Club wish to thank their many friends for the assistance rendered them in their effort to raise the money to purchase curtains for Roger Williams. The entertainment of three nights was a grand success. A neat sum of money was raised and the members and friends of nearly all the churches of North, East, South and West Nashville assisted in some way and even a deal of money has been received from friends out of the city and for these favors, great and small the club wishes to express its grateful thanks and all join in singing "Praise God from whom all blessings flow." HAYWOOD GETS TEN YEARS John Haywood, who was on trial last week on the charge of murdering Dan Gory, the ex-policeman, was found guilty of murder in the second degree and was given a sentence of ten years in the penitentiary. His counsel made a motion for a new trial. SUDDEN DEATH. Mr. Dock Yearargin, who lived on Jefferson street, between Eighteenth avenue and the Illinois Central Railroad, died suddenly while at work in the Louisville & Nashville freight house last Monday noon. Mr. Yearargin had been complaining for several days, but his condition was not considered serious. After eating his lunch he remarked to those near him that he felt badly, and walked to a freight car and fell dead. He was a married man 35 years of age. JEFFERSON NOTES Miss Ida M. Reed has returned home. Rev. Mr. Seller spent Saturday and Sunday here. Mr. Will Lewis, of Nashville, visited here Sunday. Mr. Tom Hayes, of Chicago, will spend the holidays here.

EVERYTHING IN READINESS FOR THE MEETING—A GREAT TIME ANTICIPATED — SPLENDID PRO- GRAM HAS BEEN ARRANGED— LINCOLN POST NO. 4, G. A. R. AND LADIES' RELIEF CORPS CHIEF PROMOTERS. Great preparations are being made for the commemoration of the forty-fifth annual celebration of the Emancipation Proclamation by the citizens of Nashville. The finishing touches were put on this week, when the Abraham Lincoln Post No. 4, Grand Army Republic with the Woman's Relief Corps, completed the program for the occasion. Nashville has not witnessed such a celebration as is assured on Wednesday night, January 1, 1908 at Mt. Olive Baptist Church. While no lengthy program has been arranged, the interest and enthusiasm of the occasion will be sufficient to thrill the hearts of every Afro-American citizen in Nashville. It is to be regretted that a more spacious auditorium than that of Mount Olive Church could not be secured, but this being the largest place owned by the race in the city, must serve the purpose for the present. No doubt is entertained that the time will come when the Negroes of Nashville will have some appropriate place for commemorating their natal day. A strong feature that is being injected into the celebration will be the prominent place given for the Day Home, an organization that is so heroically looking after the interest of the neglected children who are left alone by parents day after day, because the parents, like the thousands of breadwinners, must be up and going early. In other words, the young and old will be united in this celebration by the strongest ties. In the ranks of the Abraham Lincoln Post, Grand Army of the Republic, are to be found the oldest and most loyal citizens of Nashville, thus the uniting of this organization with the Day Home will go down on record as the dawn of the brightest day witnessed since the memorable proclamation was issued. The following program is given out for the ocassion. Music by the Mt. Olive Baptist Choir. Reading of the Emancipation Proclamation by Rev. Henry Allen Boyd. Welcome Address by Rev. C. H. Clark, D. D., The History of the Negro will be the subject of an address by Mr. J. C. Napier. "Soldiers" will be discussed by members of the G. A. R. Dr. F. A. Stewart, "The Progress of the Race." Rev. C. H. Boone, "The Future of the Negro Race." Mrs. J. C. Napier, the president, will talk on "Our Women and Their Mission." The citizens as a whole are invited to attend the celebration. An effort will be made here to see what can be done about the permanent location of the institution which is to care for the children of this city, neglected by parents who are forced to go to work early and continue late. The fact that the celebration is given under the auspices of the Lincoln Post and the Woman's Relief Corps, G. A. R., only reminds one of the loyalty displayed by the men who marched in the conflict of the 60's. The deeds of valor performed by these old veterans will live as long as history is to be read. and plenty of good things to eat. Bring mama and papa and Uncle Dan something nice.

This is not caused by any superior vitality of the white race but because they pay more attention to acute diseases, especially diseases of the Eye, Ear, Nose and Throat. Diseases of these organs are often the starting point of fatal maladies. A hopeful sign of the times is the fact that the race has produced at least one real Medical Specialist. Dr. C. V. Roman, of Nashville, Penn., is such a one. After fifteen years' successful experience in the practice of medicine and surgery and special courses in the Royal London Ophthalmic Hospital and the Central London Nose, Throat and Ear Hospital of London, England, he accepted the professorship of Diseases of the Eye, Ear, Nose and Throat in Meharry Medical College, of the above-named city. Dr. Roman is a doctor of philosophy as well as a doctor of medicine. He has a well-equipped office and is giving his entire attention to diseases of Eye, Ear, Nose and Throat. The successful way in which he fits glasses, cures catarrh and deafness, and manages the various complicated treatments and operations on these delicate organs is truly a HOPEFUL SIGN FOR THE RACE.* THE YOUNG MEN'S.

TEMPERANCE AND THE BREWER. The growth of the temperance movement which at first was thought to be a sporadic outbreak which would soon run its course, has assumed such enormous proportions that the manufacturers of spiritous liquors have become fearful that their business will be severely crippled if not wiped out. To check the growth of temperance legislation the manufacturers have addressed themselves to removing some of the most obnoxious features of the open saloon: the wiping out of dives and the compulsion of obedience by the retail dealers of the Sunday closing laws where these are in effect. Last week the Ohio Brewers' Association announced that in the future the members of the association would refuse to sell to dives and to those dealers who refuse to obey the Sunday closing law where such laws are in effect. They also intimated that they would discourage the sale of intoxicants to miners and habitual drunkards. This was a wise move on the part of the Association for its own protection. There is nothing that has brought the saloon into such disrepute as the continual violation of the laws that have been enacted for its regulation and the making of such places the rendezvous where the worst element may congratulate and debauch the morals of the young. What, for an example, is more disgusting, what would make decent men feel more like eliminating the whole liquor traffic from the face of the earth than the orgies that will be permitted by the police during the Christmas week at the dives run by white men in certain sections of this city? The actions of the Ohio Brewers' Association is worthy of emulation by the brewers who sell their product in the South. While many men doubt the feasibility of absolute prohibition they will be willing and will use their every effort to bring about such legislation, unless the men who are most concerned financially remove the dives and make it impossible for women and children to frequent places where spiritual liquors are sold. SOUTHERNERS WORTHY OF COMMENDATION. Those Southern white men of Carrollton, Ala., who guarded the Negro churches and school-house all night lest they should be destroyed by a mob which it had been alleged was bent upon that purpose on account of race troubles in the vicinity, deserve the commendation of all right thinking persons. It was an act that shows that even though at times it seems the sense of justice between man and man is dormant, if not dead, in this section, there are some men who believe that the innocent should not be com THE NASHVILLE GLOBE, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 20, 1907 peiled to suffer in common with the guilty. There is less excuse for mob law in the South, when a Negro is concerned, than in any section of the United States. All of the legal machinery is in the hands of the whites and it is for members of that race to say whether any one accused of crime shall be adjudged guilty. And if there is a miscarriage of justice, in nine hundred and ninety-nine cases out of a thousand the Negro will not be the one to benefit by it. We need more men of the Carrollton brand. We need more men of the white South who not only believe that even-handed justice should be administered to all persons accused of crime and that the innocent should be protected, but men who will back up their opinions by their actions. May the Carrollton tribe increase until its example will be emulated throughout this Southland. THE PRESS ASSOCIATION An effort is being made to resuscitate the press association which, in the days when the inter-state commerce laws were unknown and every newspaper sported railroad passes that permitted its owners to ride over the country at their discretion, was the pride of Negro journalism. Mr. Cyrus Field Adams, president of the association, is being upon to show cause why the organization has been allowed to drift into slumberland. At one time the Negro Press Association—we are not sure of the names, since The Globe is a youngster in the journalistic arena—was a mighty organization. At least it made noise enough to impress one with its great powers, but since Mr. Adams was elected president and secured a governmental sinecure at Washington, the association has taken a comfortable snooze. It would appear that the main object of the association was to get political recognition for some one of its officers. This obtained it has rested from its labors. It is about time for another presidential election. Will the association become active again? The New York Age, which showed its change of ownership by denouncing those who spoke in defense of the colored soldiers as ghouls, now praises the soldiers for the gentlemanly bearing displayed since dismissed from the service. The Age, evidently realizing the vulnerable position it took on a matter that so deeply concerned the whole race, is trying to make amends by praising the soldiers. An open confession of its mistake is the better policy and the one that should be adopted, and besides an apology is due for such a scurrilous attack of those who spoke in the defense of the defenseless. The news comes from Louisiana that Negroes killed three Italian immigrants who took the places formerly occupied by white laborers at a lumber camp. Some of these Southern newspaper correspondents display an ingenuity in sending out news' items that should entitle their names to be linked with Baron Munchausen. The passing away of Col. A. S. Colyar removes one of Tennessee's most famous citizens and a man noted for his devotion to right as he saw it. Col. Colyar's philippics against lynching and his defense of the Negro, as an old before-the-war Southern white man, will be long remembered by the thoughtful people of the South. More men will be decorated with "big heads," red eyes and red noses on Christmas morning than there will be homes decorated with holly and mistletoe. The seductive egg-nog has a way of advertising its devotees that almost eclipses the effect of space in a newspaper. Mr. Leland Hume will doubtless be so busy discussing telephone matters for awhile that he wont have a chance to give his views on the Negro problem. The world would have found what Jeff Davis of Arkansas is, even if he had never opened his mouth. A Merry Christmas to all of our readers. COMMUNICATIONS. A Correction. Editor of the Globe: Sir—The article appearing in the columns of The Globe a few weeks ago in which it is stated that I, in company with several other men, gave a box party during the recent engagement of Williams and Walker at the Pekin Theatre in honor of Mr. Felix Sisney, did not state the facts in the case. I attended the performance as the guest of Mr. Sisney, and if there were a box party I know nothing of it. The other men mentioned in the article I don't even know. Trusting that you will make this correction so that my relatives and friends at home will not be laboring under the wrong impression, I am I. HOWARD WEBSTER. Chicago, Dec. 11. AN ORIGINAL CHRISTMAS STORY. Christmas is here, with all its joys and gifts, with all its stories of Santa Claus. Weigh well the story of Santa Claus to the innocent little hearts who will listen with wide-open eyes and glad hearts to all the wonderful stories you may tell. Listen to the experience of a little girl. Years ago in a Southern town lived a little girl who had heard all the beautiful stories of Santa Claus.; how he comes in a beautiful sleigh, drawn by reindeer; how down the old fashioned chimney he climbed, filling the stockings and baskets from his bountiful gifts. To a child unused to luxuries the wonderful times, these Christmas eves every preparation was made for Santa Claus. No wonder this little girl loved him best of all, and believed each story told. No wonder she prayed each night for God to bless and keep dear Santa Claus; no wonder the story became a part of her life. Well, one Christmas morning this little girl in this old-fashioned town got up bright and happy to really find that Santa Claus had really come; to even see his footprints on the chimney back, and soot on the hearth from his descent. Among this little girl's basket of clothing (for many things Santa Claus brought, after eatables, were clothing, because I told you this little girl had few luxuries, and so Santa Claus brought mostly things needed for the winter) by some mistake was a collarette which did not belong to her, but was intended for an older half-sister of this little girl. In the dispute the mother came to the rescue of the older sister, and told the little one that she had bought this special collarette for her older sister, and so she must give it up. Some explanations were necessary, and the mother told this little girl that Santa Claus was not a reality but a story as old almost as time. But this little girl loved Santa Claus for his generous nature and his remembrance of her, and for his kindness to all little folks, and can you wonder that her childish heart was crushed when she found she had been deceived? But remember, this little girl in this old-fashioned town had heard another story, more beautiful than the story of Santa Claus; that for all the sins of the whole wide world, one beautiful, loving, sympathetic Christ died, that he might save the world. So, living in an old-fashioned town, with few ways of amusement, and without the many diversions children have in the cities to-day, can you wonder that these two stories became a part of this child's life? Do you wonder that the casting away of the one was the casting away of the other? It was true; the little girl in that old-fashioned town cast out both stories as utterly false, reasoning that if one was false, both must be, for the little girl had heard many beautiful stories told of each. Do not make two stories of the Santa Claus and the Christ. Let it be one, and when the time comes for knowledge in after years to these little hearts, there will be only one story. There will be no giving up or casting out. If Santa Claus lives in the hearts of children to-day, let him live as a remembrance that God gave his best gift to earth, the Christ, his only Son, and so it is perfectly natural that we should at this time of the year give gifts. And as oft as we give and as oft as we receive gifts, let us give them and receive them in remembrance that the greatest gift was the gift of the dear Christ. CARNATION CLUB. Mrs. Henry Floyd entertained the Carnation Club Monday afternoon at her residence on Hawkins street. The parlor and diping-room were beautifully decorated with plants.

The most economical and satisfactory way to buy holiday goods is to keep your eyes open and snap up the new things when they first come in. It will pay you to Keep Your Eyes On Our Store for we are going to have a greater display of gift goods this year than ever before—you know what that means when you stop to think of our past holiday exhibits.

Quite a number of the members was present and the meeting was full of interest. Mrs. Graves read a piece on Thanksgiving. The Christmas work of the club was ar anged and every member will observe the custom of preparing and sending to some deserving poor, baskets of food, clothing, etc. Under the administration of Mrs. C. S. Smith, our first president, the members and friends of the club would send all the things for the poor to the A. M. E. Sun Day School Union. They would meet there a few days before Christmas and THE NASHVILLE GLOBE, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 20, 1907. work and pack baskets, and from that place dozens of baskets, filled with food and just as many bundles of clothing, shoes, toys, dolls, brooms, etc., would be sent into the homes of the poorer people to gladden and brighten their lives. Since then the ladies have planned and arranged their baskets at their own homes. Each lady does her part to carry sunshine into the nearest needy home to her. There has not been one single Christmas since our organization, fourteen years ago, that our baskets have failed to be sent out, filled with something to gladden and to help. It was also decided at this meeting for each lady to make and to bring some article, useful or ornamental, to be sold for the benefit of the club. We are anxious to have a certain amount in our treasury by February. At the close of the meeting we were ushered into the dining-room, where a tempting Thanksgiving repast awaited us. A vote of thanks was tendered the hostess, Mrs. Campbell, Mrs. M. S. Peyton and Mrs. Laura J. Harlan assisted the hostess. The December meeting will be held at the home of Mrs. M. S.

Moore, 926 Seventeenth avenue, North, by their daughter, Miss Elizabeth B. Moore. The guests began to arrive about 7 p.m., and were received by Misses Clark, Frank, French and M. Harris, of Fisk University. After a pleasant chat in the parlors with the hostess and her parents, the guests, lead by Manager Landry, entered the dining-hall, where places were prepared for twenty-two. In the room the decorations were carried out in Meharry colors. The chandeliers were twined with crimson and black streamers. In the center of the table was a large Teddy bear reined with crimson and black ribbons. On each place-card was a brown-candy Teddy bear attached with a Meharry cravat. A large Meharry pennant floated directly above. The following menu was served: MENU Baked Turkey. Escalloped Oysters. Potatoes O'Brien. Celery Salad. Rolls. Butter. Captain Dobson acted as toastmaster and after speaking humorously, yet sadly, because of having played his last game, proceeded to introduce the speakers of the evening. Rev. Geo. W. Moore gave the squad a hearty welcome and instructive advise. Coach Giles, of Fisk University, talked interestingly on "True Sport in College Athletics." Dr. J. A. McMillan, of Meharry, gave a short address on "Progress in Medicine and Athletics." Mr. Phillips, on the part of the team, eloquently replied to Rev. Moore's welcome, and thanked the hostess for giving so fitting an end to the past football season. Those present were Prof. Giles, of Fisk; Prof. McMillan, M. D., Meharry, Rev. Moore, Messrs, Mozee and Garnes, Dental '09; Manager and Coach Landry, and the football squad, composed of Captain Dobson, Messrs. Dickerson, Phillips, Harris, Petty, Davis, Johnson, Napier, Butler, Foster, McDew Terry, Stevenson and Scott. H. T. G. M. CLUB Miss A. K. Davis entertained the members of the H. T. G. M. Club, Saturday evening, December 14. The young ladies indulged in music and games of amusement, after which the president, Miss Mollie E. Berry, called a business meeting. The Assistant Secretary read the constitution and by-laws of the club for the benefit of the new members, Misses Lillian Bright and Clotelle Chappelle. Those present other than club members were Mrs. A. G. Price, Misses Grace Lucile Price, Mattie Bailey, of Dalton, Ga., and Miss Hobbs. The hostess served a delightful luncheon. The next meeting will be with Miss Willie Page, of 1303 Laurel street, Saturday evening, December 28. CALLENDER STATION NOTES Rev. T. A. Hurt, pastor of First Baptist Church, preached Sunday. A good many were out, and a collection of $2.70 was raised. The excitement caused last week by seeing a curious star, notwithstanding the rain and clouds, has grown less intenses. Rev. T. A. Hurt is reporter for The Globe in Callender, and is a hustling pastor. Several additions to the church have come under his care. After you have considered the lily, you are convinced that the love of the beautiful in nature and art is an inborn trait of man, which is approved of and encouraged by man's Maker. You can content your little girl, mayhap, with ungainly garb on a broomhandle doll, but this crushes back the longing for something better that should generate loftiest ideals later. Don't do it! Let the "little mother" have a doll that is shapely and a costume that is as tasty as you want her to be when, as the young lady, she represents your family in the social whirl of this social old world. Go to Phillips & Buttorff Mfg. Co.'s, 217-223 Third avenue, North, and consider those dolls and outfits for prices surprisingly low. Taste in selection is the very opposite of extravagance. When you buy tastefully you get your money's worth. See our "Diablo" games and wonder why the world went wild over it. Guess at the dolls in show window and win Miss Columbia for your own brood. Have a happy Xmas this year and leave the next to care for itself. WILLING WORKERS' CLUB. The Willing Workers' Club, or Kayne Avenue Baptist Church was entertained Monday night, December 16, by Mrs. J. W. DeWees.

By vote of the institute the day of meeting was changed from second scholastic to second calendar Saturday in each month. Superintendent W. C. Anderson favored the Institute with remarks touching chiefly upon the examination, which is in all the district schools of the county this week. The meeting was honored with the presence of Prof. Wm. Allen and Prof. F. M. Green, teachers in the city schools. The latter favored the institute with a lecture. He took for a subject "Impression." He said, among other things, that teachers should live up to what they teach. If they teach honesty, they should be honest themselves. He further stated that this rule must be adhered to if we would make the impressions desired in the schoolroom and in life. As the teacher, so is the school; and as the school, so are the people. The fact further suggested that the work o fa teacher is farreaching, making impressions far beyond his to-day. Should the early impression upon the young minds be of an injurious nature then there is begun the existence of an evil whose end is unknown and through a relapse of time amounts to immeasurable volume. Prof Green also referred to the fact that crime in its various forms often has its origin in evil communications and associations at the time in our lives when our minds are in their most plastic state.

The making up of the general report for Mount Olive Baptist Church for the past year is already well under way. The deacon board of the church will hold the last session on next Thursday night, at which time they will submit their final reports and make recommendations for the ensuing year. It can be said that no better board of officers and deacons is to be found in Nashville than those having in charge the work of Mount Olive. They have performed, to the man, their duty faithfully during the past year. The Sunday school work of the church will undergo some changes the first week in the new year. The election of officers will be one of the changes, as the present incumbent, Mr. Jas. E. Hurt, has already announced that he will not be a candidate for re-election. It can be said of Mr. Hurt that during his period of office he has administered affairs of the Sunday school in such a way that the school has increased both in attendance and finances greater than it has since 1888, so say some of the older members of the church. Hopes are being entertained that the board in selecting his successor will find another one as capable, as ambitions and one that will have the interest of the Sunday school at heart. The moving of the Sunday school from the basement to the main auditorium, which takes place next Sunday, the 22nd, is one of the latese plans for improving the school and increasing the attendance. HOUSEHOLD OF RUTH UNION MEETING The members of Household of Ruth Union are notified to attend the quarterly convening of the Household at Odd Fellows Hall, Fourth avenue, North, Monday evening, January 6, 2:30 o'clock, 1908.

SEND ALL ORDERS TO National Baptist Publishing Board, R. H. BOYD, D. D., Secretary, 523 Second Avenue, North. Nashville, Tenn. 523 Second Avenue, Morih, THE NASHVILLE GLOBE, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 20, 1907 TATE-GORDON. That there will be "marrying and giving in marriage" is a fact that is being demonstrated daily. That it is a matter of moment not only to the prospective bride, but to the bride of many seasons is easily shown by the popular observance of the long train of periodical weddings that occur, milestone-like, to mark the onward sail of the matrimonial bark upon the turbulent sea of time. As a Globe representative was making his annual round, collecting the wherewith to foster the publication of The Globe and to guarantee its faithful coterie of workers a merry Christmas holiday, he chanced to call in upon Mr. and Mrs. W. O. Tate, of 320 Eighth avenue, North, where they are very comfortably domiciled, and was pleasantly surprised to find them in the midst of a great family jubilation in that they had reached the eve of their twenty-fifth matrimonial anniversary, and cherishing an ardent hope that they would awake on the morrow to find this a happy reality. Most pleasant are the reminiscences of their past life, but the most striking and interesting incident of the jubilation was the production of a copy of the quaint, old style invitation, announcing the occasion, and a very interesting account of the ceremony as it appeared in the Nashville Banner nearly twenty-five years ago. We produce the form of the invitation and the clipping from the Banner as they may be of interest to our many readers, and especially to those who may remember having read it before. Mr. and Mrs. Tate are now enjoying excellent health, and no one would judge but that they had gone only half that journey. CEREMONY. At the residence of Mrs. M. Gordon Cedar Street. W. O. Tate. Hattie L. Gordon. ARISTOCRATIC MARRIAGE IN COLORED SOCIETY. At the residence of Mrs. M. Gordon, last night, was one of the most fashionable weddings that has occurred in the colored circles for some time. The contracting parties were Miss Hattle L. Gordon and Mr. Wm. O. Tate. The bride wore a handsome nun's-veiling dress (en train) with overskirt of the same trimmed with Spanish lace, white satin corsage, orange blossoms and tulle, with ornaments of pearls. The groom was in full evening dress. All the young people were in full dress, and many of the older ones. The bride and groom are both well known society-goers. The bride has been a belle in society ever since her debut, three years ago. Mr. Tate was not here at that time, but came a year later. They met, they loved, they married. While society is loth to give up one of its leaders, it congratulates Mr. Tate for having won such an amiable and lovely wife. They were recipients of many valuable and useful presents from their numerous friends. After the ceremony, while the grand march was played by Mr. Trimble, all formed in line led by the bride and groom and marched in to the supper table, where everything that one could wish was found. The supper hour was one of the most pleasant the writer ever spent. Many were the jests and little airy notions that passed around the table, and many were the glances bestowed upon the bride from the young men who had tried and failed, loved and lost. After supper, Miss Drake, Mrs. T. A. Sykes, Mrs. C. E. Gowdy, and others, gave several musical selections, which were highly enjoyed by all. About 11 o'clock the guests began to leave. The happy couple repaired to the residence of the groom's mother, where they will reside for the present. They have the wishes of all their friends for a happy union "E. F. M." Socrates PROMINENT PLAYWRIGHT IN THE CITY. Mr. Alex Rodgers, a member of the Williams & Walker Theatrical Company, which is touring the country in Bandanna Land, spent a few days in the city the latter part of last week visiting relatives and friends. The troupe played in Louisville last week and Mr. Rodgers took a few days off to visit the scenes of his childhood. In his younger days, when a resident of this city, Mr. Rodgers was prominently identified with several musical clubs, among these being the Great Southern Quartette, which will be remembered by many on account of its singing during the Centennial Exposition. Since leaving this city he has continued his career as a singer and has also branched into the field of song and play writing. He has several popular songs to his credit, among the number being "I aln't never done nothing to nobody" and "Let it alone." The vehicle used by Williams & Walker this year—In Bandanna Land—is from the pen of Mr. Rodgers, and it has met with a favorable reception wherever it has been shown. Mr. Rodgers joined his company in Louisville Friday night. Mrs. Eva Sneed was in the city last week visiting and shopping. THE OWNERSHIP OF THE AGE. In regard to the ownership of The New York Age, several articles concerning which have appeared in the columns of this paper, the following card which Mr. Fortune sent to The Indianapolis Freeman will shed some light on the question: Chicago, Doc. 7.—To the Editor of the Freeman—In the Freeman to-day I find an editorial paragraph, the sentiments of which are misleading and which, like the editorial in The Age referred to, are likely to work me mischief. The Age states a possible fact when it declares that Dr. Washington does not own a dollar's worth of stock of The New York Age Publishing Company. You say, "Mr. Washington insists that the charge (that he owns stock) is a falsehood, which has been circulated by those who know what such a charge means." Who circulated the "charge?" What does such a "charge" mean? That it is or was dishonorable for Mr. Washington, or anybody else, to own stock in The Age when I was president of it? What is "the tempest in the tease" about? Is somebody after me? It looks that way. Is somebody after Mr. Washington? It looks that way. Is somebody after President Fred R. Moore of The Age corporation? It looks that way. Now, if somebody is after somebody, who is it, and what is the object of the chase? Now, if the chaser is after me, here am I. I have no dirty linen to wash in private or public. My dirty linen is entirely personal matter between God and me. Now, while The Age was about it, Why did not President Fred R. Moore tell the whole truth? While Mr. Washington was "insisting," why did not be "insist" as to the whole business? What is there to conceal? Nothing but the facts. Will they hurt Mr. Washington or Mr. Moore? They appear to think so. Will they hurt me? Not if I know it. When I sold my 1,250 shares of stock to Mr. Moore last September and took his paper in payment for most of it, Jerome B. Peterson owned 1,250 and Booker T. Washington owned 950 shares, Emmett J. Scott being stockholder of record, the shares being of the par value of $10. A few shares of the total capitalization were held by other parties, mostly friends of Mr. Washington. If Mr. Washington has disposed of his stock I don't know it and don't care about it. How did Mr. Washington secure his stock? That is his business. Why does he "insist" that holding such stock, or having held such stock, would "work him mischief"? That is his business. Why did I sell my stock? Guess. Why do I not state the facts? Because somebody wants to make dirt out of an ant heap, and seek by evasion and iteration to confuse the facts and tend to make me appear crooked. Am I? Not if I know it. When President Roosevelt and his people are endorsed by me I will be a dead man. Am I dead? Here am L. T. THOMAS. FORTUNE. SUNSHINE HOME NOTES Wednesday, a. m., December 11, the members of Sunshine Home were anxiously awaiting the arrival of Sister Moore, who had been sojourning in Chicago the past year and had now contemplated a visit to the old home. An hour after time for her arrival (the train being an hour late) she came bringing sunshine and gladness. Sister Moore is on her way to a warmer clime for the winter. The sisters of the Workers' Conference and other friends were invited to meet Sister Moore at our usual Wednesday afternoon meeting. When the hour arrived there were many present and before time for closing a large crowd had gathered to welcome our dear mother and friend to her home. In company with these faithful women, Rev. T. J. Townsend, pastor of Spruce street Baptist Church, and Rev. Church, of West Nashville, were also here to share in this greeting. During the three days she was home many friends came in to gladden her heart and to show their appreciation for the many years spent in serving this our people. Saturday at 3:30 o'clock she left for another indefinite season. She spent Sabbath at Normal, Ala., with friends there, thence to Chattanooga, and on to Atlanta, Ga., where perhaps she will spend several days at Spelman Seminary and then to Florida, where she hopes to spend the winter. The Joanna P. Moore Foreign Missionary Society will hold its regular monthly meeting Monday evening, December 22, at 8 o'clock. A special program is being prepared for the occasion.

President Dovey, of Boston National League Club, has announced that Barney Joy, the pitcher Dovey secured from the San Francisco Club, will surely pitch for Boston next season, Joy pitched in Honolulu before he came to Francisco. He is very dark and it has been intimated that some of the big league players may object to playing in the same team with or against the importation from the South Sea Islands on account of his color.—Ex. Gans and Nelson Sure to Meet. Again it looks as though Joe Gans and Battling Nelson might come together to settle the question as to who is to be the real lightweight champion of the world in the future. On November 21, they met at Minneapolis and agreed upon all the details of their proposed fight except the weight. Nelson insists that Gans fight at 133 pounds, and it is just this that will probably cause the fighters to agree to disagree. No one will blame Gans for holding out as long as he is asked to fight Nelson at 133 pounds; he and many of us can remember what a time he had on the weight question in his last fight with Nelson. This time Joe means to have no foolishness with Nelson. He intends to quickly dispose of Nelson and all his humbug proposition in and out of the ring; should they meet. There will be no foul blow or any dispute over one, but there will be a clean victory for him who is present lightweight champion of the world.—Ex. CUBAN GIANTS A CERTAINY. J. Blaine Boyd, President of the N. A.
