THE NASHVILLE GLOBE. Vol. IV. DAMAGING RUMOR CIRCULATING STATE COMPTROLLER PUT IN VERY BAD LIGHT. Not Believed That He is Guilt of the Charge. ALLEGED THAT SECRET SOCIETIES AND FRATERNAL ORDERS HAVE BEEN COACHED — ADVISED NOT TO DEPOSIT MONEY IN STATE BANKS, IT IS SAID—SUCH ADVICE WOULD BE AGAINST SOUTHERN PRINCIPLES—LOCAL STATE BANKS SAFE AS NATIONAL BANKS. Is the Comptroller of the State of Tennessee advising Negro fraternal and secret societies not to deposit their money in any save national banks? Such a rumor has been afloat for some time. Its confirmation is what a Globe reporter has tried to ascertain, as it has leaked out more than once that such advice had been given by the state official. The Comptroller of the Treasury of the State of Tennessee, it is claimed, has stated to several Negro concerns when they applied for charters not to deposit any of their funds in state banks. No truth, however, has been put in the rumor. Those in position to know say that a man occupying such an office would naturally work in the interest of the state. If he advised against the deposit of money in state banks he would be working against institutions in his own state and against the principles which the South contended for in the days just after the reconstruction period. Then, too, they say that the state banks of Tennessee are known to be in a most substantial condition. The banks of Tennessee are compelled to make sworn statements quarterly to the Comptroller, who in accepting these must be assured that they are perfectly correct. But, another investigation discloses that hardly one of the many strong Negro secret societies or fraternal organizations make their deposits in state banks, notwithstanding some of these state institutions weathered the financial storm of the Cleveland hard times and later showed a remarkable healthy condition during the panic of 1907. Especially is it true as shown from a statement of the cashier of the One Cent Savings Bank that the institution which he represents does not recall a time when his bank had very much patronage from Grand Lodges or state organization in the fraternal world among the Negroes, and yet this persistent rumor, in spite of denials, continues to stay afloat. It can hardly be believed that the Comptroller of the State of Tennessee would advise against depositing in the state institutions. It is learned that the matter was thoroughly discussed at a recent meeting of the directors of the One Cent Savings Bank, but that no names were in the discussion. It is said that the directors and officers of the bank are working on a little clue they received and if they find any truth in the report they will call at the state capitol, joined by other local bank representatives from the city, to see why this should be. When such rumors are circulated as this one has been, it can have only the tendency to discourage the organization of other banks. It will have this discouraging effect continually until it is officially denied, which is believed will be done when taken up with the proper authorities. MRS. GANT ENTERTAINS. Mrs. W. H. Gant, of 636 Fogg street, entertained at tea Tuesday afternoon from 3 to 6 o'clock in honor of Miss Sallie S. Suttles, of St. Louis. The curtains were drawn and the gas was lighted throughout the and cut flowers. Mrs. Gant was presented with a potted azalia plant, which was placed in the center of the house. The decorations were ferns table in a brass jardiniere. The table was covered with a fifen Mexican drawn cover, with dolles to match, the cut glass and Dresden china making a beautiful picture. An elaborate six-course tea was served, followed by ices in the shapes of or- anges, pears, peaches and bananas. Those present besides the honoree were Mesdames M. J. Crutcher, A. B. Morris, Wathinton House, James Coffey, Ed Buford, Sadie O. Fisher, Ellen Johnson, Maggie Hill, Julia Bramlette, S. A. Dodson, Edward Parker, Ida Mallory and Miss Eda Mallory. In the evening from 7 to 11 o'clock Mrs. Gant entertained the following young people: Misses Lillian C. Buford, Addie D. Sledge, Liona M. Gant, Blanche J. Howard, Jennie V. Anthony, Bessie L. Rhodes, Daysie Murrell, Eva N. Murrell, Messrs. Van O. Watson, C. O. Houston, D. H. Alexander, S. C. Foote, J. T. Thomas, James Price, John Bender, of Chicago, Drs. Watkins and Reed. SHOT AND KILLED. On Monday afternoon about 4 o'clock Thomas Johnson and William Whitworth, two young men of East Nashville, about 19 years of age, met on Brick Church pike, about two miles or more from the market house. After a short conversation there was a report of a gun and young Johnson fell to the ground with the top of his head blown completely off. Whitworth declares that Johnson shot himself; but when the body was examined, so it is said, it was found that the unfortunate young man had a whip in one hand and a chicken in the other. Those who saw the body are of the opinion that Johnson could not have shot himself. A Globe man was told by one of the crowd that had gathered, that the young man who was killed was walking down the plike with a bucket of milk and a whip in one hand and a chicken in the other. Whitworth asked Johnson for a drink of milk which was refused. After a heated argument a shot was heard and Johnson fell dead. The Grand Jury indicted Whitworth Wednesday morning. The funeral of Johnson was solemnized at his late residence Wednesday afternoon. NOTED WOMAN COMING. Miss N. H. Burroughs, of Louisville will speak at Mt. Olive Baptist Church. It has been positively announced that Miss Nannie Helen Burroughs, the corresponding secretary of the Women's Auxiliary Board which is under the auspices of the National Baptist Convention, and located in Louisville, Ky., will make her first appearance in a lecture in this city Monday night, April 5, at Mt. Olive Baptist Church, which has the largest seating capacity of any church in the city. This means a great gathering for Nashville, one in which the citizens will turn out to show their appreciation of the lecture. Miss Burroughs is one of the foremost women in America. She has been the champion for many years of the rights of "unprotected womanhood." The coming of Miss Burroughs to what is no doubt the greatest city in the South will be an occasion that will be long remembered. Extensive preparations are being made. Her visit will be under the auspices of the allied women's missionary organizations of the city. The success of the meeting, is assured. It is hardly probable that any one church will be able to hold the admirers of this brilliant woman of whom it is said, that in her speeches, lectures and stage manners she excels the noted Ida B. Wells. Miss Burroughs while attending the great World's Baptist Conference, astonished all Europe with her eloquence. Papers, both secular and religious, were united in their praise of her, a true type of American Negro, telling what she could do with an audience. It is true Nashville hears a great deal of splendid oratory. It welcomes the most prominent in the land among all races and classes, but the assured welcome that is promised the coming of Miss Burroughs will of itself speaks much for the cause she represents. Just how long her stay will be is not known. The only positive information given out is that she will appear at Mt. Olive Church on the date mentioned. Aside from being secretary of the Auxiliary Biard, she is founder of the Women's Training School, an educational institution located in Washington, D.C. She is also prominent in the business circles of Louisville, where she has resided for the past few years. Mr. Andrew Brooks, of 504 Fourteenth avenue. North, who has been confined to his home with a severe case of grib, is not improving as rapidly as his friends would wish. NASHVILLE, TENN., FRIDAY, JANUARY 29, 1909. NIGHT SCHOOL ESTABLISHED IN NEW HADLEY SCHOOL BUILDING ON PEARL STREET. Great Opportunity for the Negroes of Nashville. SUPERINTENDENT WEBER'S RECOMMENDATION APPROVED BY BOARD OF EDUCATION—THOSE WHO CANNOT ATTEND IN DAY TIME PROVIDED FOR — LAST EXCUSE FOR IGNORANCE REMOVED—A STEP IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION — LARGE ATTENDANCE EXPECTED. At the regular meeting of the Board of Education on Monday night, January 26th, Superintendent H. C. Weber put himself on record as being a farsighted business man when he recommended to the board that a night school be opened in the Hadley building on Pearl street. This building is situated in a very thickly populated section of the city, and will go a long way toward enabling those boys and girls who work in the day to study after hours. There are thousands of young people surrounded by circumstances that prevent them attending the day school, and many of them will hall with delight this opportunity to get at least a common education. Some of the greatest men this country has produced got their primary education under less favorable conditions. A fair example can be found right here in the city of Nashville in the person of Bishop Evans Tyree, who has spent night after night on the hillsides back of where the St. Cecilia Academy stands, studying his lessons by the moonlight. Parents can not afford to fail to take advantage of this opportunity to educate their children. The probabilities are that the building will be crowded soon after the beginning of the session. The report of the proceedings of the meeting on the 26th follows: E. E. Barthell and G. A. Blodau, recently appointed by Mayor Jas. S. Brown to succeed John H. DeWitt and W. J. Cummins, whose terms have expired as members of the City Board of Education, were installed as members Monday night at the regular meeting and reorganization of the Board for the coming year. Mr. Blodau, the new member, was elected as Secretary of the Board. A special feature of the meeting was the adoption of the recommendation of Superintendent H. C. Weber providing for the establishment of a night school at Hadley, this to be the inauguration of the night school work among the Negroes. Superintendent Weber also urged the necessity of manual training, not only in the high schools, but also in the grammar schools, and while such a plan was not recommended as feasible and practical at this time, the idea was encouraged and Superintendent Weber was requested by the Board to draft a curriculum for such a plan of work. Dr. Lees called the meeting to order at 7:30 o'clock. Secretary DeWitt read the minutes of the previous meeting, which were approved. The pay roll for the month of January, amounting to $22,606, and accounts aggregating $1,569.41, were approved. Mr. Akers spoke with reference to the bill pending in the City Council providing for submitting the High School bond issue proposition to a vote of the people on June 10 next, stating that he not only felt confident that the bill would pass the Council, but that 6,500 names have already been secured to the petition recommending the proposition, indicating that the proposition will pass by the vote of the people. The resignation of one of the teachers, Miss Mollie E. Berry, was accepted. The last item of business was the discussion of the manual training and colored night school proposition, and the empowering of Sunt. Weber to establish a night school at Hadley. After this the meeting adjourned to next Monday night, when the Board will meet again for the purpose of filling vacancies of teachers. Start. Wheels's resort uses as follows. "For many years the present high school building has been inadequate for proper instruction of the high school pupils, and it has on several occasions been pointed out that the time would soon come when what has been for a number of years a pedagogical demand would be a physical necessity. Two years ago the high school overflowed the Fogg, and since that time has been occupying part of the Hume, until now, to make room for this constantly increasing overflow, half of the Hume School children are accommodated in this rented building. There will be an increased demand upon the high school at the beginning of the new term, Feb. 1, and the present quarters, both in the Fogg and that part of the Hume occupied by the high school students will be inadequate to take care of the increased enrollment. There will be about 175 new pupils coming from the grammar schools. The Fogg School was built in 1874 to accommodate the high school when this department had only 147 students. During the present scholastic year there will be enrolled in the high school about 800 students. Taking more of the Hume School not only requires more of the grammar school children to give way, but the room to be gained by moving these grammar school children is not of the nature suited to economical instruction of high school students, and there would have to be some changes made in the building before it can be used. I suggest that you appoint a committee to look into this matter and determine what is best to be done under the circumstances. "There are several vacancies in the corps of teachers, and these places are now being filled by your substitutes. On Friday the schools reorganize, and I will be able to report to you on Monday the exact number of new teachers required for the spring term."

At a recent meeting of the National Baptist Publishing Board held in the office of the Secretary last Tuesday a very important action was taken on their work in the Panama Canal Zone. The chairman of the Board said to a Globe reporter that the Negro Baptists under whose jurisdiction the Board is operated would in future have more than one mission on the zone. But the action of the Board was to erect a church building for Rev. R. H. Thourboune, of Ancan, Panama Canal Zone. The board will at once begin the erection of this building. The other business taken up by the Board was the missionary work in the several states among which is Tennessee. BISHOP PARKS' SILVER WEDDING DISTINGUISHED PRELATE SHOW-ERED WITH HONORS.

Welch, of Chattanooga; Dr. W. Sampson Brooks, Dr. T. W. Haigler, Rev. A. Brooks and Mrs. Anna T. Jackson, of Nashville; Dr. J. A. Jones, President of Turner College, Shelbyville, and Rev. J. W. Walker, of Alabama. The event consisted of the rendering of a unique program arranged previously by the ministers of the 12th District. At 3:00 p. m. the first part of the program was rendered in the presence of a large number of Chicago's elite, Dr. J. A. Jones, acting as master of ceremonies. The following papers were read: "Bishop Parks as a Presiding Officer and Leader," by Rev. A. Brooks; "Bishop Parks as a Churchman," by Mrs. Anna T. Jackson; "Bishop Park's Twenty-Fifth Marriage Anniversary," by Dr. I. H. Welch. The exercises were punctuated by rich and rare musical selections conducted by Miss Naomi Parks, who presided at the piano. The evening exercises which began at 8 o'clock, were as follows: "Greetings from Tennessee," by Dr. J. A. Jones; "Life and Times of Bishop Parks," by Dr. T. W. Halgler; "Bishop Parks as an Exponent of African Methodist Principles," by Dr. W. Sampson Brooks; a paper by Rev. J. W. Walker, of Alabama. Bishop C. T. Shaffer, D. D., acted as Master of Ceremonies, and performed the formal ceremony of re-uniting the two hearts that had beat as one for a period of twenty-five years. Greeting were read from every section of the country. The presents in the way of silver offerings were numerous, beautiful and costly. They came from all parts of the United States. Cash offerings amounted to $243.00. It is estimated that the silver offerings are valued at $500.00. The following is a list of the presents from Tennessee: Breakfast and dinner set (six pieces) from the Memphis District; gold-lined silver fruit spoons from Shelbyville District; silver bread tray from Chattanooga District; silver pudding dish from the Rev. G. L. Jackson and Dr. W. B. Denny; silver water service from Rev. and Mrs. J. H. Grant, of Memphis; cash, $15.80, by Rev. H. E. Rye, of Clarksville, and Rev. E. M. Moore, of Union City; Tennessee Conference, per Dr. Haligler, presented $30.00; St. Paul Church, Nashville, presented $25.00, per Dr. Brooks; East Tennessee Conference (Fayetteville District), $10.00 per Rev.

Silver offerings from Alabama exceeded those from Tennssee, as did the cash donations. From the state of Alabama alone there came $145.00. Words of greeting came by wire and mail from the following persons: Bishop H. M. Turner, D. D., Bishop J. A. Handy, D. D., Prof. Booker T. Washington, Rev. J. H. M'Ghee, Prof. Jno. R. Hawkins and Mr. D. A. Hart. Magnificent silver offerings were made by the following bishops and General Officers: Bishop and Mrs. A. Grant, Bishop W. B. Derrick, Bishop and Mrs. B. T. Tanner, Bishop and Mrs. L. J. Coppin, Bishop E. W. Lampon, Mr. Ira T. Bryant, Rev. and Mrs. W. W. Beckett, Prof. and Mrs. H. T. Kealing, and Dr. and Mrs. W. A. Lewis. The people of Chicago made many handsome and valuable presents too numerous to mention. The delegation from Tennessee and Alabama were the special guests of the Parks home during their stay in the city. The vistors were made to feel that they were the ones being honored by the manner in which the people of Chicago showered their hospitality upon them. Every one has only words of praise to express. They were shown the sights of a great city and those who had never visited the Western Metropolis before are still exclaiming that "the half has never been told." The party returning reached home Friday morning buoyant and enjoying good health. Bishop H. B. Parks is the Bishop of the Twelfth Episcopal District of the African Methodist Episcopal Church, which consists of Tennessee and Alabama. That he is very popular in his district and throughout the country at large is best attested by the number of presents and congratulations received from all sections. His administration in the twelfth district has met the hearty approval of the members of his church in the states of Alabama and Tennessee and the people irrespective of religious affiliations, look upon him as a safe leader. He is aggressive, yet conservative; persistent but consideate. As a Gospel preacher and scholar he has few equals and no superiors. Bishop Parks is wide awake to the educational needs in his church, and has infused new energy into the members and friends of the connection in Tennessee and Alabama. This state has a school at Shelbyville, and in Alabama Payne Theological Seminary is located at Selma. Bishop Parks by heroic efforts was able to secure the co-operation of the ministers of his church in Tennessee to a pledge to raise $5,000.00 Spring to erect a new brick building at the Shelbyville school. The largest building there now is a two-story frame structure. The president, Dr. A. Jones, reported at the last annual conferences in the state that the buildings were not sufficient to accommodate the pupils in the previous year, so it may be expected that the inadequacy will be even great this year. The people have great confidence in Bishop Clark's leadership and are rallying to his support in all his church work, and they were proud to honor him on the occasion of the celebration of the twenty-fifth anniversary of his wedded life. GONE BUT NOT FORGOTTEN Whereas, In calling the roll of Lightfoot Lodge No. 17 K. of P. we find that the Supreme Ruler of the Universe has severed from our midst three honorable and most worthy Knights in the persons of Brothers Knights Ed Walker, Sam Ellison and Whitney White.

That it is but a just tribute to the memory of our departed Knights to say that in regretting their removal from our midst we mourn for them who were in every way worthy of our respect, and be it further Resolved. That we sincerely console the family of the deceased on the disreation which it has pleased Divine Providence to bring upon them, and commend them for consolation to Him who orders all things for the best, and whose chastisements are in mercy, and be it further.

Burrus, on Friday, January 22. Much business was transacted. The captains of the different clubs reported favorably, the squad led by Miss Janie E. Benson THE NASHVILLE GLOBE, FRIDAY, JANUARY 29, 1909. being in the lead. All the members of this squad are working hard to raise as many feet of pennies toward the mile that must be had by June as they can. The four captains will unite their forces, and plan soon to have an entertainment of a literary nature that shall be creditable. Responses from the letters sent out are encouraging. After the business of the afternoon was over, a program of a musical and literary nature was rendered. Since the celebration of the birthday of Edgar Allan Poe occurs in this month, Mrs. S. W. Crosthwait read a paper on the life and works of this author. A discussion of the paper followed its reading. Most of those present took part in the discussion, and many interesting facts connected with the life of this brilliant, yet unfortunate writer, were brought out. A solo by Miss Lucy B. While, reading of current topics by Mrs. C. W. Brown, and most interesting among them was the account of the "Immanuel" movement that is now stirring the entire country, and a solo by Miss Lillian Bright closed the program. At the close of the program a most elegant three-course luncheon was served, consisting of salmon croquettes, escalloped oysters, stuffed eggs, beaten biscuit, crackers, gelatin served with crystallized fruits, pickles, cocoa and nabisco wafers, chocolate and peach ice cream, and layer cake.

I beg of you to give me your subscription for this book. I will be around to your homes. Prepare to take out a yearly subscription. I also handle the little book, "How to Live Longer," edited by Prof. H. T. Kealing, a man of intellect, a man who has the Negro race at heart. Don't forget the Agent.

CONOMICAL LAUNDRY SECURES VALUABLE ASSET The management of the Economical Laundry Company is always looking to the best interests of the public. This enterprise was started few years ago under adverse circumstances, but by determined men, men who have race pride and were willing to make every sacrifice in their power to remove from their people one of the most infamous insults ever perpetrated upon human beings. A few years ago several of the laundry companies in this city decided that it would be a good advertising scheme to deceive the white people by advertising on their wagons that they did not take Negro washing and they did so advertise, but they never did stop taking Negroes' clothes in their offices, and their wagons solicited from the homes of Negroes. The insult remained, however hypocritical. The saying that it is an ill wind that blows nobody good served to a good purpose in this case. A few determined Negro men decided that the necessity for any Negro going to a white man's laundry for anything must be removed. They started with practically every one in the plant green. Many restless nights were spent and many sacrifices made. The bloomy days have come thick and fast, but amid all the adversities that come to the man in business they have stuck to their post, and the people will rejoice to learn that to-day the Economical Laundry is on a better running basis than it has ever been. They have recently secured the association of Mr. Nelson, who conducted the Chicago Laundry in East Nashville for so many years. Mr. Nelson is the best laundryman in this city. He has a large number of friends and patrons who will be too glad to carry him their work at the Economical Laundry. This laundry is to be complimented for its fine judgment in securing Mr. Nelson with their company. He will have absolute control of all the work. Everything will pass under his scrutinizing eyes before going to the public which is a guarantee that the patrons of the Economical Laundry will always be satisfied. MARRIAGES.

CITY TEACHERS ASSOCIATION. Through the very tactful efforts of Dr. John I. Watson, president of the City Teachers' Reading Circle, an audience numbering over three hundred people overflowed the upper floor of Pearl High School Saturday, January 23. The occasion was an address on tuberculosis and its avoidance by Dr. F. A. Stewart. The music which was of a fine order was participated in by the fifth and sixth grade pupils of Napier School, Meharry quartette, and Misses Emma Cheairs and Alberta Ross soloists. Dr. Stewart in his address clearly insisted upon the all around observance of the laws of health and of temperate living as the best safeguard against contracting tuberculosis. The substance of his whole talk was that the air and dust was filled with the germs of the disease that no The good of the universe is no HOWSE BROS.

Respectfully, Miss Eugene Walker, Miss Ella Dunlap, Prof. J. B. Batte. MOUNT OLIVE BREAKS RECORD MOUNT OLIVE BREAKS RECORD. The record of Mount Olive Sunday-school was broken last Sunday when the attendance equalled the enrollment for the present year. The Sunday-school has adopted a plan by which they make a new enrollment beginning with the first Sunday in January. Last year the enrollment reached 480, but the attendance on no one Sunday equalled the enrollment. The feature of last Sunday, aside from the study of the lesson, was the able address by Prof. J. D. Crenshaw, superintendent of the First Baptist Church Sunday-school. Prof. Crenshaw spoke of the "Opportunities of service," declaring that the Apostle Peter seized the very first opportunity after receiving the power of the Holy Ghost to render actual service, when he said to the lame man: "Silver and gold have I none, but such as I have give I thee. In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, rise up and walk." Prof. Crenshaw made a beautiful illustration and the large audience showed their appreciation after the address. The school was favored with a solo by Miss Blanche Stephens, of Mason, Tenn., a student of Fisk. Miss Stephens sang "O Lord, be merciful." Her expression, her voice and her manner were charming. Mrs. H. A. Boyd presided at the piano. The next was an address by one of the students of Roger Williams. The regular weekly teachers' meeting was held on Tuesday night. APROACHING NUPTIALS APROACHING NUPITALS. Again the society of Nashville stands in wonderment over so many weddings. The announcement of the wedding of Prof. F. J. Work, the author, composer and musician of this city, to Miss Nannle Isabelle Sumner, lately of Nashville, but now of Indianola, Miss., was made last week. Prof. Work will leave the city Saturday for the famous Mississippi town to bring his bride to Nashville, her old home. The invitations for the affair were sent out by Mr. and Mrs. W. W. Cox, the uncle and aunt of the bride-to-be. It is said that this will be the fourth wedding out of the H. T. G. M. Club since October, as Miss Sumner was one of the charter members of the organization and will be after the wedding placed upon the honorary roll. The ceremony will take place in Indianola Miss., on Thursday, February 4, 1909, at the residence of her relatives.

THE PEOPLE'S DRUG STORE NASHVILLE'S NEW ENTER- PRIS The thriving settlement in the vicinity of Fisk University is all ablaze with delight at the advent in their neighborhood of the People's Drug Store at 1714 Jefferson street. The establishment threw open its doors to the public Saturday, January 16, under promising conditions. The store is owned by Dr. J. D. Fowler, of Pulaski, Tenn. He formerly conducted the business in that town, but the location secured here was so promising that he could not resist the temptation. The drug store is in charge of Miss Emma L, Stone, one of Nashville's progressive young ladies, who graduated from the Pharmaceutical Department of the Mehary Medical College in 1907. She has recently been connected with the Hospital Department of the Tuskegee Institute, Ala. Miss Stone is well-known in this city and has a host of friends who will gladly lend her their moral support. They have in a full line of fresh drugs and toilet articles. On Saturdays and Sundays hot drinks will be served. The people consider this enterprise as one of the necessities that must come to that community. CITY WOMEN'S MISSIONARY SOCIETIES. The feature of the installation services of the City Women's Missionary Societies on last Sunday at Pleasant Green Baptist Church was the splendid address by Rev. G. L. Imes who spoke on "Service." The audience was a large and appreciative one and gave marked attention. All of the officers, however, were not present to be installed owing to the inconvenience of the weather. Those installed were Mrs. Mary L. Cottrell, president; Mrs. Emma Battle, treasurer; Mrs. C. E. Dickerson, secretary. The services bespeak a deal of interest in the active missionary work being prosecuted by the ladles from the various churches under this organization.

On Wednesday evening, 23rd inst., at the home of the bride's father, Mr. Thos. Sharpe, was solemnized a most beautiful wedding. Mr. Sharpe's youngest daughter, Miss Maude was united in wedlock to Mr. Philip Thompson, a promising young man of Nashville. The parlor in which the ceremony was performed was artistically arranged with palms, potted flowers and ferns. Promptly at 6 o'clock p. m. Miss Janie A. Lightfoot seated at the piano played Mendelsohn's famous wedding march. The bride entered one door leading into the parlor, leaning upon the arm of her sister, Mrs. Robert Elliot, Matron of honor, while Mr. Thompson entered the other accompanied by Mr. Major Peterson, who served as best man. The bride to be wore a beautiful Alice blue liberty satin trimmed in real lace and buttons covered with material of gown with gloves and shoes to match, and a pon pon of white tulle in her hair, with a white aggrette in the center and carried a bouquet of American beauty roses. The trousseau was most beautiful. The groom was attired in a handsome conventional black. A host of friends of the contracting parties was present to witness the tying of the nuptial knot. When the bridal party met under the arch of white and pink flowers, Rev. D. S. Ransaw stepped forward and performed the marriage ceremony in a simple, but impressive, style as is laid down in the Methodist discipline. As husband and wife, Mr. and Mrs. Thompson received many forms of congratulations. The bride and groom led the way to a spacious dining-room which was most beautifully decorated where a four-course menu was served. The color scheme was pink and white. The ices were served in pink and white hearts, the moulds were double thereby representing two hearts in one. The out-of-town guests were: Mrs. Wm. Cartwright and Miss Minnie Daily, Messrs Cartwright and Peterson, of Nashville; Mr. John Montgomery, of Decatur; Miss Georgia Saunders, of Chattanooga; Miss Edna Bucken, of Winchester; Miss Janie A. Lightfoot, Mrs. McElroy, Rev. Mr. Ransaw, Dr. W. J. Astrapp and Mr. George Buford, of South Pittsburg --- The National Baptist Sunday School Lesson Commentary 1909 Many valuable presents in china, cut glass, silver and pure linen were received.

Reed—Johnson Nuptials. Mr. A. J. Jones, of St. Louis, Mo., and Miss M. E. V. Reed, of this city, were united in the holy bonds of wedlock Monday afternoon at 2 o'clock, at the residence of Rev. T. J. Townsend, in the presence of only three or four intimate friends. There was no ostentious display—a simple uniting of two hearts. The bride was attired in a picturesque grey volle, handsomely trimmed, and carried a pretty bunch of Red American Beauty roses. Mrs. A. M. Townsend played the wedding march and during the ceremony rendered softly "The Flower Song." Mrs. Josie E. Henderson a lifelong friend of the bride, was the only attendant. Amid a soft red glow of the tall red lamp in a darkened parlor, these two hearts were welded into one. Rev. Townsend officiated. Miss Reed is a faithful member of Spruce Street Baptist Church and has proved her self to be a tireless worker, having served in every capacity from the Sunday-school room to the choir stand. She is also an honored member of the "East Nashville Dramatic Club," possessing a rare musical ability.

The one hundredth anniversary of the birth of Abraham Lincoln in the state of Kentucky will be celebrated, according to a national proclamation, throughout the country on the 12th day of February. This is as it should be, because he was one of the greatest men America ever produced. Although his was a lowly birth, yet by dint of perseverance and innate greatness he arose to the highest station in the gift of the people. With a stock of good common sense, the most valuable asset to any man, he gave to his country the service of a useful life which will be a rich heritage to all coming time. He moved among men, doing his work without ostentation or the flare of trumpet, and continued to do so until he fell by the hand of Booth, a martyr in his country's cause. The great Emancipator will ever be held in the highest esteem by the descendants of the four million human chattels from whose manacled limbs he broke the shackles of slavery. While there was scarcely any other way to conquer the chivalrous South, save the emancipation of the slaves who were the backbone of its commissarial support, yet Lincoln is entitled to the credit and wisdom of having issued the great and necessary war measure—the Emancipation Proclamation. He attempted to save his country from the attendant horrors of civil war by advocating the liberation of the bondmen by the National Government compensating the owners, as did Great Britain under the law fought through the English Parliament by the great Wilberforce. Now that Lincoln can be seen, studied and understood without the prejudice of the times in which he lived to color an impartial estimate of his worth, his greatness grows more manifest as the atmosphere surrounding his life and character become clearer with the passage of the years. Today all men delight to honor the memory of the great war President, the Emancipator of his country. As on the twelfth of February will be celebrated the one hundredth birthday of this great man, the Negro people throughout the country should honor his memory as one of the greatest of Americans and noblest of humanitarians. NEGRO IN BANKING BUSINESS. The Negro is making a creditable record in nearly every department of business affairs, but we wish to call THE NASHVILLE GLOBE, FRIDAY, JANUARY 29, 1909 attention to what he is doing in one particular line, the banking business. While this is comparatively a new field and while his experience is necessarily limited, yet he has shown a marked aptitude for mastering the difficulties confronting him as a banking factor. He has come forward with reasonable rapidity, as may be shown by the fact that, though coming out of slavery less than fifty years ago densely ignorant, intellectually, and without a dollar, financially, he has averaged more than one banking institution for every year of his racial life as a free man. This is one of the healthy signs of his progress and should stimulate and encourage his endeavors. The growth of banking institutions among our people is the natural sequence of their material progress—their accumulation of wealth, their intellectual acquirements and their participation in business affairs. They have been apt students in the economic activities of the times. They have accomplished more in the way of sound financiering, in conducting banking institutions, since they have begun than many other peoples have accomplished in many times the same length of time. Those who have been managing these financial establishments have done so with the greatest amount of caution. They have not indulged in "get-rich-quick" schemes nor have they engaged in that dangerous and unsafe financiering which has wrought such havoc with white banking institutions that have been tempted to engage in doubtful speculations. Had they done so, it is reasonable to suppose that they would have met with the same disastrous fate as has befallen those institutions that have been wrecked by dealing largely in unwarranted financial transactions. The Negro institutions have pursued that course which is backed up by the wise and safe guarantee that honesty is the best policy. The address and report of President R. H. Boyd and Cashier J. C. Napier, of the One-Cent Savings Bank, of this city, at the annual meeting of the stockholders, were both able and encouraging, showing that institution to be in a prosperous and solvent condition. The management of this bank has also, as usual, declared a dividend. The manner in which this institution has been conducted has won the confidence of the people and has been as great a benefit to them educationally as financially. We wish to commend the action of the Negro citizens of Palestine, Texas, who have organized and will operate a bank. Palestine is a progressive, thriving railroad center of Eastern Texas. It has a large colored population and is surrounded by prosperous farmers engaged in every class of agricultural pursuits. The prosperous condition of the people of that community has made necessary the establishment of a bank. Rev. E. M. Griggs and Prof. H. L. Price, both men of means and business standing and well known throughout the state, will be president and cashier. As the Negro goes forward in material progress he will take his place in the financial world by the establishment of banking institutions through which to transact his financial business affairs with safety and facility. DEAN HUBBARD OF MEHARRY. There is on foot, we understand, a laudable project to erect, equip and put in operation a hospital commensurate with the growth and needs of the Meharry Medical College at Walden University. The splendid work that has been going on for years in the medical, dental and pharmaceutical departments of Meharry College has been done under the supervision of Dean Hubbard, who has been untiring in his efforts to bring about lasting and creditable results. He has performed his labors with that degree of professional or technical efficiency and business acumen that lays this and many other communities throughout the country under tribute to him as one of the great benefactors of the race. Dr. Hubbard has spent the best years of a useful life in making Meharry what it is—a far-reaching blessing to the Negro people. He still stands at the head of this splendid in- situation as captain, mate and pilot, commanding, performing and directing its course. He is planning greater things for its larger sphere of influence in the future. If he succeed in accomplishing the project he has under consideration, of establishing a hospital modernly equipped in its appointments, it will be a fitting climax to his inestimable labors, a priceless benefit to other times and generations who will always cherish it as an enduring monument to his memory. The young colored men and women, who have sat under the care of Dr. Hubbard and imbibed his medical instruction, will never forget him. He is an able man whose strong personality has left its impress upon those who have graduated from Meharry and gone out into the world to practice their profession, many of whom are already reflecting honor on their Alma Mater and its Dean. We make no pretension of attempting to do adequate justice to Dr. Hubbard in this little mention of the great service he has rendered the race, that would require a volume of no mean proportions. We merely record this thought as a passing tribute to his worthy, unselfish and commendable career, which will ever be remembered by a grateful people. Despite the troubles that must keep the senior Senator of South Carolina awake o'nights, he cannot forsake nor forget his favorite and greatest thought-producing theme—the Negro. Habit is a domineering and sometimes a cruel master when once its manacles are riveted. But let us waste no sleep on account of Mr. Ben Tillman, for he will be heaping his futile anathemas on the heads of the Negro people till he pays his debt to nature. The hellish spirit of mob violence, in spite of the law courts, is stalking abroad in its hideous midnight garb of blood in many parts of our beautiful Southland. The courts are all-sufficient to mete out punishment to criminals for any decree of crime of which they are found guilty. The names of the murdered David Walker, wife and children at Hickman, Ky., some months ago, crop out ever and anon in every nightrider trial which has been conducted at Union City, Tenn. Murder will out! President-elect Taft, after sojourning in the South and partaking of its hospitality for quite a time, has quitted the shores of America for the Panama Canal Zone to look over the work before entering upon his duties as President. Alabama's Governor has offered a reward of two hundred and fifty dollars for the lynchers of a Negro in that state. The gentlemanly lynchers might with impunity avail themselves of this little sum and divide it among themselves for spending change. No nightmare should trouble the peaceful slumber or affright the beatific visions from the dreams of any one on account of the sixteen hundred-dollar job of the President's colored tonsorial artist. MR. NAPIER ON THE LEAGUE. "Our mid-winter conference of the Executive Board of the Negro Business League, which met at Tuskegee, Ala., was the most promising meeting ever held by the board. The outlook for the coming season of the National Negro Business League promises this year to outstrip itself in every way. Our meetings heretofore have been held in New York, City, and on account of the distance caused many absentees, but the call to meet at Tuskegee brought the entire Executive Board with but one exception. We enjoyed ourselves immensely and took in the entire exercises at the great school the three days we were present." The above is a statement from Mr. J. C. Napler, the Tennessee member of the Executive Board of the National Negro Business League. Mr. Napler upon his return said that he felt overjoyed over the prospect of such a good year. He believes that the Local Negro Business League of this city should revive and that the business men themselves ought to get together and present a solid front at the next annual meeting which will be held in Louisville and certainly Nashville ought to be represented.

White, head nurse of Mercy Hospital, resigned this week and left Wednesday night for Atlanta, Ga. It is not known what she will do in Atlanta, but it was hinted that the Negroes of Atlanta had decided to have a hospital and wanted a competent nurse to take charge. Others have it that she will be connected with the excellent hospital at Spelman Seminary, which is complete in every detail. None of the rumors could be confirmed. BIG SUNDAY MOVEMENT. The Sunday-School Congress promises to give Nashville a great gathering of young people. Preparations are now being made by the people of Nashville to show just what the city can do in the way of entertaining a religious gathering. The meeting will open in this city on Wednesday, June 9, and continue in session six days. It will include Children's Day. An effort will be made to, once in the history of Nashville give a real observance of Children's Day. It is estimated already that five thousand delegates and Sunday-school workers will come from all parts of the United States. There will be such conferences as the missionaries' conference, the educators' conference, conference of Sunday-school superintendents, advanced and primary teachers' conference. As the meeting is called at a time when thousands of people will have an opportunity to take advantage of the rate and come to Nashville, a large gathering is expected. RETURNS TO THE CITY. Mrs. M. A. Haigler, of 927 Eleventh avenue, North, has returned home from South Carolina, where she visited relatives and many friends. Some of the places visited are Branburg, Midway, Branchville and Cameron, S. C., where she visited her brother-in-law, Mr. S. O. Haigler. At Orangeburg, S. C., she visited the annual conference in the same church where her husband, Dr. T. W. Haigler, was pastor for several years, and was introduced to the conference by the Rt. Rev.' B. F. Lee. Her many friends of that church spared no time in making it pleasant for her. She also visited her niece, Mrs. Appin, of Augusta, Ga. MISSIONARY MEETING AT Mc KENZIE.

The subject of "Negro Doils for Negro Babies" is attracting considerable attention among colored people and is being discussed by some of the most prominent colored men and women in the country. In a recent issue of the "Colored American Magazine" Counselor E. A. Johnson, of New York, who was for many years dean of the law department of Shaw University, Raleigh, N. C., has a unique article, in part as follows: "I am convinced that one of the best ways to teach Negro children to respect their own color would be to see to it that the children be given colored dolls to play with. The children do not know anything about prejudice themselves, and in most cases they prefer white dolls to colored ones, but this idea could be easily removed from their young minds by putting in their hands at the onset good-looking colored dolls. To give a Negro child a white doll means to create in it a prejudice against its own color, which will cling to it through life. "I believe we should not rear our children to hate the complexion that God has given them, and thus sow the seeds of discontent with themselves that will cause them to feel inferior all through life. A dark skin is as good as any other, providing the person who wears it is deserving. There is nothing disgraceful in black or brown. No person despises a black horse or a black chicken. A black cat is sometimes looked upon with superstition, but not prejudice. In some countries the devil is painted as white and the angels as black. It is more a matter of education than anything else that we have so much of it in America, not only among the whites, but among the colored people themselves who have been taught from infancy to hate a black face and prefer a white one. In 1891 I wrote a history of the colored children in which I said as follows: 'A more modern theory of color is that the color of the skin is a shield against the penetrating rays of the sun. Most of the birds in tropical countries are colored, while those of the Arctic circle are white. The white bear comes from the Arctic regions. The color theory was also quite popular formerly as an argument in support of the curse of Noah.' We hold that the color of the race is due to climatic influences, and in support of this view we quote in reference to Africa as follows: 'As we go westward we observe the light color predominating over the dark, and then again, when we come within the influences of the damp sea air, we find the shade deepened into the general blackness of the coast population. There are five distinct types of races. The Caucasian is white; the Mongolian is yellow; the Malay, brown; the American Indian, red; and the Ethiopian, black. The wisest of men have always been puzzled to account for these different colors of the races of mankind, all from the same common ancestry. Let the black face hold itself up as well as any other, not in a haughty arrogant way, but in a manner that will say to the world as did Solomon of old, 'I am black but comely,' and comely may herein refer to more than simply good looks."—From the Brooklyn Standard-Union.

Preston Taylor was taken seriously ill and upon summonmg his physi- cian it was found that he had suf- fered another attack of «appendicitis. So serious was it that as soon as it could be arranged he was taken to Wilson's Infirmary and about noon on the same day an operation was performed, the result of which, so far, has been a success, a ENTERTAINS CLUB. Mr. and Mrs, Andrew Cheatham entertained the members of the He- liotrope Circle at her home on Bass strevt The guests of honor were Mesdames J. H. Hale and G. W. Ward. After the regular routine of business a menu of one course was served, Misses Etta May Cheatham, Georgia Winston and Addie Fite, as- sisted the hostess in receiveing the guests. en THE FINEST IN AMERICA. Mr, A. N, Johnson, the popular un- dertaker and embalmer, with head- quarters on Cedar street, has recently purehased a fine pair of Arabian white horses. Mr. Johnson has been on the lookout for a span of horses like these for several months. In De cember, during the holidays, he Te- ceived information that a pair could be had in Indiana. He at once Jun ped aboard the train for the Hgosier State, and when he left the Indiana town'the trade had been closed and the horses are now housed in his stalls in the rear of his main building on Cedar street. There is not a black or brown spot to be seen on them, but every hair is white and likewise their skin, from the tip of the nose to the end of the tall. They present a beautiful picture when they are harnesed with enam- eled white harness and hitched to a white hearse. Mr, Johnson says the public likes light colored horses at funerals and he spares neither pains nor money to give them what they want, Of his fifteen span of horses all are light colored but one, and this is a solid black pair, to be driven to his black hearse. The Ne- groes of Nashville are proud of the establishment Mr. Johnson has opened here. His parlors, which are always open to ladies during shop- ping hours, are the equal of any in the city, having a commanding view J and being fitted with every con- venience that modern genius can de- vise makes it a most desirable place to seek when fatigued by the hurry and bustle experienced during a few hours in the shopping district. Noth- ing can be more refreshing to ladies than a few minutes’ rest in quietude before starting for home. Often some little item has been forgot‘en that would spoil the whole day’s shopping, which comes to mind as soon as one as had time to reflect. Again, should a lady need a hack she knows she can have a comfortable place to wait ntil it is ready, Mr. Jobnson has everything first-class and strictly up to-date. BAPTISMAL GARMENTS, What a Minister Needs Most at This Season. ‘Theve is not a pastor whd' would object to having a first-class baptis- mal garment. Many of them are now inquiring and looking around to see where such a garment can be ob- tained; others are going to neglect it entirely until the very week they are ready to baptize and then they will ask and offer to pay a faney price for one. If this is not the case, they, will be wanting to borrow from some other minister. This can be avoided by in- quiring at the National Baptist Pub- lishing Board, where you can get the prices and the style of thoir water rroof, well made baptismal garments. You will need one just as soon as the evivals lose.

A. Sunday afternoon at 3:30 o'clock at the Auditorium, taking for his subject: "Dancing." He spoke of its effects upon the individual, the home and society. Dr. Townsend is a logical speaker and his dilination of the dancing character was both interesting and instructive. The house was well filled and the audience was a most attentive and appreciative one. Dr. C. V. Roman performed an operation at Mercy Hospital in the presence of the senior class January 20th of the highest grade; which consisted in the complete enucleation of the right eye.

As a result of a mass-meeting held at the First Baptist Church on Spruce street Monday night, January 25, an organization was perfected that is calculated to mean much for this city and especially the Afro-American population here. It will be known as the Human Brotherhood, Nashville Branch. The objects for which this organization was brought about, when they are carried out, guarantee suc cess and long life in the very outset. Although the meeting had been postponed from a previous date, and the time for circulating the news was short, there was sufficient interest throughout the city to bring a goodly number out. The citizens were there from all parts of the city to lend whatever aid they could to the movement. The meeting was called to order by Rev. W. S. Ellington, D. D., pastor of the church, who, after devotional exercises, turned the meeting over to Rev. Sutton E. Griggs. Mr. Griggs, who upon assuming the chair, very briefly sketched the different phases assumed by the American race question throughout the history of the nation and entered upon an analysis of the present day situation. The speaker said: "It was evident that local sentiment was more than ever to play a part in the shaping of national politics toward the Negro, the time for action had arrived." Expressions were given by some of the distinguished men present, and vigorous talks favorable to the movement were made by Wm. A. Crostwait, J. C. Napier and J. W. Grant. Upon motion the meeting went into organization, and Rev. Sutton E. Griggs was elected temporary chairman and R. L. Mayfield, temporary secretary. The following committee on Constitution and By-Laws was appointed: Rev. G. L. Imes, Dr. R. F. Boyd, Dr. F. A. Stewart, W. S. Ellington and Prof. G. R. B. Waters. The committee retired and soon reported a Constitution which was adopted. The meeting then went into the election of permanent officers for a period of six months, with the following result: President, Rev. Sutton E. Griggs; Vice President, Rev. G. Lake Imes; Secretary, Miss Lady Emma Phillips; Treasurer, Mr. J. H. Bumpas; Book Reviewer, Rev. W. S. Ellington. Programme Committee: Dr. F. A. Stewart, Prof. George R. B. Waters and Attorney P. W. Adams. The election of the members of the executive committeeee was deferred to a later meeting. It was the spirit of the meeting to begin to cultivate in every way possible a better state of feeling between the two races in the South, with a view to obtaining justice for the Negro and wider sympathy for the higher aspirations of the race. Mr. J. C. Napier in the course of his speech remarked that in his opinion a pamphlet recently published entitled "Needs of the South" would accomplish great good toward awakening thought in the South. By motion it was decided to raise a fund for the purpose of having Mr. Napier present a copy of the pamphlet to each member of the Tennessee legislature now in session. The necessary fund was quickly raised. The meeting adjourned to assemble in the Spruce Street Baptist Church, Monday night, February 8, 1909. Rev. T. J. Townsend, pastor. According to the Constitution adopted, the scope of the organization, it seems, will be broad, taking in a wide area of matters pertaining to the uplift and betterment of the race. The meeting will be free to all who desire to attend. GLOBE HAS NEW AGENT. Will Work in East Nashville, Serving a Large Number of Subscribers Mr. John I.

Sporting Editor Nashville Globe: Dear Sir,—I have played ball in Nashville under Manager Whittaker for two seasons, and each season the team has delivered the goods. I was singed up for the coming season, but was called to Chicago. But let me say one word by way of comment, that there is no young team in the city of Nashville that will be able to cope with the Fisk Juniors. Thanking Manager Whittaker and Capt. Merrill for their offer, I am, HERMAN MATTHEWS. 651 Carrol Avenue, Chicago, Ill. Sporting Editor of The Globe While looking over your sporting column of the Globe, I feel it my duty to respond to your question. We have organized one of the strongest amateur teams in North Nashville, and we hope to make this one of the brightest seasons in the history of amateur organization. The team will be headed by Edward Whittaker, manager, and D. Merrill, captain. The Fisk Juniors will play any team within 100 miles of Nashville, and would be pleased to have games at the following places: Springfield, Guthrit, Ky., Clarksville, Murfreesboro, Tullahoma, Paducah, Ky., Columbia, Burrell Academy. Send all letters to E. Whittaker, 2028 Jefferson street, Nashville, Tenn. * * * Glen Warner, of Carlisle, Favors a Kicking Game. New York, Jan. 23.—Like every other coach, Glenn Warner of the Carlisle Indians has ideas of his own on the forward pass. For one thing, he thinks it is too much restricted. One of his ideas is that the rules committee would do well to abolish the restriction that a forward pass must clear the line of scrimmage five yards from the center. What he thinks would be still better than that, however, would be to eliminate the forward pass entirely and supplant it with a rule that a kicked ball may be caught on the fly by either side. "With this latter permissible," he says, "the game would be football entirely and not with anything of a basket ball nature. To allow a man of the kicker's side to catch the ball on the fly would call for a lot of pretty work and, as it would require an open defense, would serve to keep the game open just as much as the forward pass. I would have one provision, and that is if a back-field man of the opposing side could catch the ball before an opponent could get to it he should be allowed to do so, but otherwise the ball to go to whichever side could catch it. That would put a premium on accurate kicking and would be better than the present rule, which doesn't put a player of the kicking team onside until the ball has struck the ground. It's guesswork how the ball is going to bound, and the play becomes a good deal of a scramble. "In any event a rule is needed so that the forward pass will work more freely, so that officials won't be kept so busy seeing that it is properly done and inflicting penalties when it fails to work. I don't see any reason why the pass should have to go five yards from the center. Of course, there must be some restrictions or teams would be throwing the ball all the time. "I think, too, it is time now to do away with the requirement that if the man taking the ball from the center runs with it he must go five yards to the side. At the time that rule was passed, the five-vard requirement was to prevent men from massing and jamming the player who took the ball from the center through the middle of THE NASHVILLE GLOBE, FRIDAY, JANUARY 29, 1909 MANAGER. the line, but now that the game has been opened up anyway the five-yard restriction could be cut off." Warner said he thought Harvard's success last fall was due largely to the fact that the crimson team for the first time had a charging signal. The Indians and Pennsylvania have used one for several seasons, he said, and it was a big advantage in enabling a team to get the charge on the opposing line. English Club Cables Sam Langford Expenses London, Jan. 23.—That the question of superiority between Sam Langford and Jack Johnson will be decided May 24 became manifest to-day when the management of the National Sporting Club, where the bout will be held, cabled transportation to Langford's manager. Before he left for Australia to fight Tommy Burns, Johnson said he would return to England and fight any man the National Club selected. With the cabling of the money to bring Langford here the match appears cinched. Basketball at Fisk. On January 20th the Juniors met the Seniors to play off the postponed game. The game was fast from the time the whistle blew and caused much enthusiasm.

But in the second half the Juniors came back strong and ran up the score to 22 to the 18 of the Seniors. Sykes played a brilliant forward. Flowers starred in center for the Juniors. Brumfield was as fast as ever on the field. Line-up: Brumfield . . . Forward . . . Sykes Key . . . Forward . . . Ellison Smith . . . Center . . . Flowers Dawson . . . Guard . . .

The game was one of the principal games of the season and its outcome practically determined the elimination of the Sophs or their remaining in the race. All during the game the Juniors were outplayed which was due to the condition of Sykes and Jackson, who were injured during the Wednesday's game. The team work of the Sophs was especially good. Rosenberg and Upshaw were accurate in their field goals. Ellison played his usual fast games for the Juniors. The Seniors, Juniors and Sophomores are now tied. Line-up: Sophs. Juniors.

The Fourth Session of the National Baptist Sunday-School Congress Nashville, Tenn., January 5.—At a special meeting held in this city to day a decision was reached with respect to holding the fourth annual session of the great Sunday-School Congress and Young People's Chautaquua. Nashville has once more outstripped her competitors, being awarded this important religious gathering. The last session of the Chautaquua was held in Jacksonville Fla. Since that time the boards under whose management the Sunday-school movement is fostered have been constantly flooded with requests from cities throughout the country asking for the Congress. In giving out notice the secretary of the Congress movement, Henry A. Boyd, said: "Nashville has given better assurance for properly entertaining this meeting than the other cities. Then, too, the city has the advantage in its geographical location as to the Baptists. The Congress will be held from June 2nd to the 7th, 1909, inclusive. All of the Sunday-schools throughout the country will have special letters and special invitations. The call for the meeting will be sent out officially signed by Rev. C. H. Clark, chairman of the Publishing Board; Rev. E. W. D. Isaac, secretary of the B. Y. P. U. Board; and Rev. R. H. Boyd, of the Home Mission Board, as the meeting is held under the auspices of these three boards. It is not known definitely what other arrangements with respect to this meeting have been made, but the assurance is given that it will excel both in point of interest and attendance any other distinct denominational gathering for young people. Nashville will have the opportunity once more to entertain a national body. PUBLIC NIGHT SCHOOL The City Board of Education has kindly granted to the colored people of Nashville a public night school, free to all over 12 years of age. This school is established for the benefit of those who work in the day and cannot attend school in the day. The school will begin next Monday night, February 1, at the Hadley School, on Pearl street. All who wish seats will be there promptly at 7 p. m. next Monday night. The hours will be from 7 to 9.

FIFTY-FIRST ANNIVERSARY Vigorous, active, and apparently in the prime of life, the Right Reverend Bishop Charles Henry Phillip, A. M., D. D., celebrated his fifty-first anniversary on Sunday, January 17. There was no demonstration in a social way of this occasion—simply a few friends called at the Bishop's home to congratulate him upon attaining the first mile above the half-century mark. He was at home the entire day receiving callers who came to pay their respects and offer congratulations. At 4:45 in the afternoon he received a telegram of congratulations from Tyler, Texas sent by his two sons C. H., Jr. and Jasper Tappin, who are both pursuing their professions in the Lone Star State. He left the city this week on another one of his trips where he will spend possibly a month in the interest of the work of his church, paying particular attention to the educational feature, going first to Tyler, Texas to visit the Texas College and then to Beaumont, Houston and other points.

Wilson, pastor of the Rock City Baptist Church, took place Sunday evening at 3 p. m., in the church building. The building was neatly decorated with choice flowers of the season and a large congregation was in attendance for the occasion. Rev. Mr. Wilson is to be congratulated upon his long and useful service both as a husband and pastor of that great church. When the church was organized 26 years ago they had only three members, including the pastor. The membership has increased very satisfactorily and many useful men and women have gone out from that church and are now doing service throughout the state. Rev. Mr. Turner was master of ceremonies, and Rev. C. H. Clark, D. D., delivered the principal address of the occasion. There were many serviceable presents presented to Rev. Wilson by the congregation as a token of respect and appreciation for the many years of usefulness to them. They also gave him $5.00 in money. The choir rendered some choice music for the occasion. Miss Wilson, daughter of Rev. Wilson, presided at the organ. It was a pleasant scene; his two sons, two daughters and mother, all of whom are grown, were present upon this occasion. After the exercises were completed the church served cream and cake to all that were present and wished to participate. The Rev. Mr. Wilson and church and family are to be congratulated for the splendid occasion resulting from these long years of usefulness. Long may the pastor and church and husband live together to serve and appreciative public. BISHOP TYREE'S OFFICIAL CORRESPONENCE TEMPORARIALLY SUSPENDED.

This statement is made that all who have not received replies to their letters may know the reason why. Bishop Tyre is slowly regaining his strength, and it is the opinion of his physician, Dr. R. F. Boyd, that he will be able to resume his duties in a few weeks. EVANS TYREE, Jr. WEEK END PIT CLUB.
