THE NASHVILLE GLOBE. Vol. IV. ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATION OF NEGRO'S FIFTY YEARS OF FREEDOM. Indorsed by President In Message to Congress. BELIEVES THE WORLD OUGHT TO KNOW WHAT AFRICAN DESCENDANTS HAVE ACCOMPLISHED IN THIS COUNTRY—NOT ONLY SINCE EMANCIPATED, BUT ALSO FROM TIME OF LANDING TO CIVIL WAR AS WELL—LIBERIAN AFFAIRS RECEIVE FAVORABLE MENTION—FEATURES OF THE MESSAGE. Washington, D. C.—The text of the President's message submitted to Congress to-day, follows: To the Senate and House of Representatives: The relations of the United States with all foreign Governments have continued upon the normal basis of amity and good understanding, and are very generally satisfactory. The question arising out of the Belgian annexation of the independent State of the Congo, which has so long and earnestly preoccupied the attention of this Government and enlisted the sympathy of our best citizens, is still open, but in a more hopeful stage. This Government was among the foremost in the great work of uplifting the uncivilized regions of Africa and urging the extension of the benefits of civilization, education and fruitful open commerce to the vast domain, and is a party to treaty engagements of all the interested powers designed to carry out that great duty to humanity. The way to better the original and adventitious conditions, so burdensome to the natives and so destructive to their development, has been pointed out by observation and experience, not alone of American representatives, but by cumulative evidence from all quarters, and by the investigations of Belgian agents. The announced programmes of reforms, while striking at many of the evils known to exist, are an augury of better things. The attitude of the United States is one of benevolent encouragement, coupled with a hopeful trust that the good work, responsibly undertaken and zea'ously performed to the accomplishment of the results so ardently desired, will soon justify the wisdom that inspires them and satisfy the demands of humane sentiment throughout the world. Under the appropriation made at the last session of the Congress a commission was sent on American cruisers to Monrovia to investigate the interests of the United States, and its citizens in Liberia. Upon its arrival at Monrovia the commission was enthusiastically received, and during its stay in Liberia was everywhere met with the heartiest expressions of good will for the American Government and people and the hope was repeatedly expressed on all sides that this Government might see its way clear to do something to relieve the critical position of the Republic arising in a measure from external as well as internal and financial embarrassments. The Liberian Government afforded every facility to the Commission for ascertaining the true state of affairs. The Commission also had conferences with representative citizens, interested foreigners and the representatives of foreign governments in Monrovia. Visits were made to various parts of the Republic by the colonization of British colony of Sierra Leone, where the Commission was received by and conferred with the Governor. It will be remembered that the interest of the United States in the Republic of Liberia springs from the historical fact of the foundation of the Republic by the colonization of American citizens of the African race. In an early treaty with Liberia there is a provision under which the United States may be called upon for advice NASHVILLE, TENN., FRIDAY, DECEMBER 10, 1909. or assistance. Pursuant to this provision and in the spirit of the moral relationship of the United States to Liberia, that Republic last year asked this Government to lend assistance in the solution of certain of their national problems, and hence the Commission was sent. The report of our commissioners has just been completed and is now under examination by the Department of State. It is hoped that there may result some helpful measures, in which case it may be my duty again to invite your attention to this subject. Features of the Message. Government is proceeding deliberately to ascertain the exact facts about the killing of Americans by Zelaya's orders. (Continued on Page 8.) QUARTERLY CONFERENCE A SUCCESS. Vale Mills, Tenn., November 28.—The quarterly Conference held at this place was the best ever witnessed, considering all things. Rev James Childress is known as one of the best church workers in the Tennessee Conference. After being on this work only three weeks he called his people in quarterly conference and they came as never before, in wagons, buggies, on horses, with baskets filled with good things. The community is made of loyal people. Rev. H. L. P. Jones, the presiding elder, was highly elated over the meeting. The Conference collection was $75. Mr. Aaron Overton was Secretary of the Conference. SERIOUSLY HURT. Mr. James Malone, of Perkins street, was very painfully hurt Wednesday afternoon. Mr. Malone, who is a very aged man and partially deaf, was beating rock at the Randall Cole Industrial school, and it seems that the boys of that place, while hauling coal to the school from a car ran over the old man. He was found lying in the street, where from the bruises received he lost an enormous amount of blood. He was removed to the hospital, where he was examined and his injuries said to be very serious. YOUNG MEN ENTERTAIN. The young men's Club entertained a number of friends at the home of Mr. Arthur Taylor, 529 Ramsey street, Tuesday evening, November 30. A number of courses was served by Miss Bessie May Phillips. Games and music were the features of the evening. Those present were Dr. R. B. Woodson, Messrs. Robt. Summer, Donnie Stovall, Frank Brown, Herbert Thompson, Chas. Gee, Chas. Powell, Leslie Rowens, Alex. Tipton, Stephen McCall, Arthur Ware, Boston Little, Master R. B. Woodson, Jr., Jno. Brown, Jr., Mrs. R. B. Woodson, Misses Ellie McVance, Ethel Nichols, Nina Ballou, Richie Rideout, Nora Brown, Anna Matthews, Mary Batts, Alberta Powell, Saphronia Brown, Geneva Bender, Lula Brown, Mrs. Hattie Brown. MEHARRY NOTES. Again we have brought a successful year along the lines of athletics to a close. In every respect the results for the year have been marked with direct interest. The victory has been won and we are again standing on the dignity of a David before our Goliath. The last of the series of excitements which characterized this department was the successful election of officers for the ensuing year of the two factions which prevailed, the Republicans carried the day in flying colors as follows: L. D. Wiley, Junior Med., President; A. Pitts, Junior Pharmacist, Vice-President; L. R. Ryan, Freshman Med., Secretary; J. R. Scott, Junior Dent., Business Manager; A. W. West, Junior Dent., Board of Directors; J. B. Darden, Sophomore Med., Board of Directors. The Hon. J. W. Grant addressed the Y. M. C. A. at 3:30 p. m. Sunday last. Subject, "Seek Higher Grounds." This was a practical and fitting subject and the ability of the speaker was shown very forcibly when he impressed all with the idea of a high standing. Dr. S. T. Sealey, class '09, who has recently passed the State Medical Board of Illinois, is now enjoying a good practice at Mounds, Ill. Dr. J. W. Johnson, class of 1892. of Park Place, Ark., has sent his subscription of $25.00 for the New Hospital Fund. CHILDREN OF COLUMBIA SETTING THE PAGE. Organize Club to Circulate Literature. YOUNG PEOPLE SET PRECEDENT IN THRIVING TENNESSEE CITY DETERMINED THAT THE PEOPLE SHALL KNOW THE FACTS THE JUVENILE ARMY WORKING LIKE BEES—SUBSCRIBERS' LIST GROWING WITH GREAT RAPIDITY — NASHVILLE GLOBE FINDING FAVOR WITH THE PUBLIC. Columbia, Tenn.—An innovation in race enterprises in the form of a movement calculated to do untold good toward helping to build up what is regarded as one of the greatest factors in shaping a conservative race policy, has been started in this city. The forces at work to accomplish this might be considered as "recruits" and yet upon a retrospective view it must be admitted that, to an extent they are not recruits. As for centuries back and as it will be for centuries forward, if times continues to go on, this same force will prove to be the most gigantic and powerful lever in any constructive form or effort that can be put forth. Particular reference to this movement is made by your correspondent because of the uniqueness and the originality of the plan as it has begun to be worked out in this way. The matter is this: For three years the citizens of this city, the county seat of Maury County, have watched with astounded amazement the gradual, steady and powerful growth of the Nashville Globe, a paper wielding untold influence in every quarter of the nation and state for the benefit of the race. So firm has its policy been in its advocacy for the cause of right and on behalf of the people, that it has attracted the attention of quite a number of children, out of whom has been formed an organization whose purpose it will be to see to it that the Nashville Globe is placed into every home. The children constituting this organization are school children and according to the best and most reliable information attainable, they purpose to have the membership so large that it will take in every child from 8 to 18 years old in the city of Columbia. Those interested in this movement so far have had their earnestness amply rewarded in the past week, as they have succeeded in getting an unusually interesting list of new readers and subscribers. Those who have worked are Walter Taylor, A. P. Williams, Sinnie Wilks, James Terry, Bertha Williams, William Edmondson, Emma Marshall, A. Dillard, Emma Sims and Rebecca Johnson. They have received substantial encouragement from older people and in order that the movement might not be wholly a charitable one, it is understood that the Nashville Globe has decided to liberally compensate their efforts. When children decide among themselves that a certain paper ought to be read, it becomes a matter of vi- NASHVILLE WANTS NEGRO STAY At a mass-meeting in Odd Fellows Auditorium on Thursday night the Negroes of this city and Davidson County made it clear that any other city desiring the Normal, Agricultural and Mechanical College will have to offer exceptionally flattering inducements. Mr. B. J. Carr was elected chairman: D. A. Hart, secretary, and Dr. R. F. Boyd, president of the People's Savings Bank & Trust Co., was elected treasurer. The meeting was unanimously in favor of the school, and when the committee on resolutions started to --- tal importance and a general topic around every fireside. The parents in this-county are usually interested in whatever the children are doing. So your correspondent predicts that before the 15th of January the Nashville Globe will be in every home in and about Columbia carrying to that home eight pages of original news matter. WINNER OF TWO PRIZES Mr. Milton W. Darden, of 910 Jackson street, was one of the eight to receive a prize from the contest of Wednesday, December 1, 1909, the prize being two $1.50 tickets to "Polly of the Circus," at the Vendome Theatre this week. He is also a winner of $125.00 piano credit check from the Weatherholt Piano Company of this city. CARD OF THANKS. Mrs. Wade Beesley wishes to thank her many friends and the Woman's Home Aid Association for the kindness shown toward her during the sickness and death of her beloved husband, who departed this life on November 8, 1909. NINETEENTH CONFERENCE. The Nineteenth Conference of the Colored Men's Department of the Young Men's Christian Association of North America was held in Louisville, Ky., December 2-5, 1909. Viewed from whatever angle, the meeting was an unqualified success. It brought together a large number of strong Christian men of the race, whose words of wisdom and messages of love and fellowship were invaluable. The success of the meeting was due to the efforts of the three international secretaries, Mr. William A. Hunton, Rev. J. E. Moorland and Mr. J. B. Watson. Among those who addressed the conference were Rev. John W. Whittaker, chaplain of Tuskegee Institute; Thos. Jesse Jones, Ph. D. U. S. Dept. Commerce and Labor, Bureau of Census, Rt. Rev. Geo. W. Clinton, Bishop A. M. E. Zion Church; Rev. Geo. Sale, D. D., Rev. L. G. Jordan and Dr. R. E. Jones. Dr. Jones preached a powerful sermon to men only Sunday afternoon. The Nashville city association was ably represented by Dr. S. S. Caruthers, who spent three days attending the convention. He was deeply impressed with the rapid progress made by the Louisville Association, and hopes to see just such a building in Nashville in a very short time. THE EAGLE CLUB C. OF C. The Eagle Club C. of C. met with Mr. Whiteside. It was the best meeting the club has had for some time. The roll was called at nine o'clock and a collection of two dollars was raised. After all business had been transacted a fine variety of fruits was served. Those present were Misses Rena Knox, Ninia Ballow, Florence Johnson, Matilda Smith, Lucy Hart and Marina Douglass, Messrs. Chas. Gray, Ed Sims, Henry Pointer, Martin Brown, T. B. Cohen and Dave Horn. Club meets with Miss Knox next. SUNSHINE HOME NOTES. The Workers Conference will hold its regular monthly meeting December 12, at 10 a. m. All are cordially invited to be present. Miss Burnett, who has been visiting relatives and friends in Louisiana for the past six weeks, is expected home next week.

She is now in Wakefield, Mass., where she will probably be for a few weeks. make their report, setting forth reasons why the school should be located in Nashville, the floor was covered with those ready to offer a motion that the resolutions be adopted. The motion carried without a dissenting voice. The next meeting is for Thursday night, December 16th, at which time it is predicted standing room will be at a premium. At this meeting the various committees will be appointed to work in interest of the school. The Negroes of Nashville and Davidson County are aroused as never before. No. 49. SUPERVISORS' INSTRUCTIONS ISSUED BY DEPARTMENT. Director Durand Outlines Methods. ENUMERATORS TO BE CHOSEN TO TAKE CENSUS — COMPETENT MEN AND WOMEN DESIRED — URGED TO SELECT THOSE BEST SUITED FOR THE WORK—BEST TO HAVE ENUMERATORS OF THE RACE WHERE THAT RACE NUMBERS GREATEST—CARE TO BE EXERCISED IN SELECTING FORCE Washington, D. C., Nov. 30, 1909. The general instructions to supervisors of the census have been issued by U. S. Census Director Durand. They embrace the scope of the census, the period of enumeration, the duties of the supervisors, the formation of enumeration districts, the appointment of enumerators, the employment of interpreters, the compensation and allowances of supervisors, the penalties for nonperformance of duties, and conclude with a personal paragraph intended to promote prompt and whole-hearted co-operations. The instructions point out that there is nothing in the census act making women or persons under 21 years of age ineligible for appointment as enumerators. It is stated that a considerable number of women were employed in both the Eleventh and Twelfth censuses. It is suggested that it is undesirable to employ enumerators who are too immature, either in experience or appearance. The supervisors are cautioned to exercise their judgment in each individual case. It is suggested, as they are particularly likely to be good enumerators, that the supervisors employ crop reporters of the U. S. Department of Agriculture; officers and leading workers in farmers' organizations, live-stock associations, co-operative creameries, etc.; progressive farmers and their sons and daughters, and especially young men and women who have attended agricultural colleges or agricultural experiment stations; physicians; former enumerators; school teachers and substitute teachers; college and high-school students; persons who have passed federal, state, or municipal civil-service examinations for clerical positions or for mail carriers; substitute letter carriers; local, state, and municipal officers; and particularly town and village clerks and recorders. The supervisors are cautioned that in no case should any person who is directly or indirectly concerned in the assessment of property for taxation or in the collection of taxes be designated as an enumerator. The instructions call attention to section 19 of the Census Act and state it provides that all appointments shall be made solely with reference to the fitness of the appointees and without reference to political party affiliations. The supervisors are informed that after proper enumeration districts have been established it will be their duty to designate a suitable person in each district to perform the actual work of enumeration. The Director is emphatic upon this point and says it is their most important duty. They must exercise the greatest possible care to secure competent persons. Their success as supervisors and the success and value of the census as a whole are, he states, absolutely dependent upon the thoroughness, accuracy and promptness with which the enumerators perform their duties. The instructions state that the enumerators should be active, energetic persons of good address. They must be thoroughly trustworthy, honest, and of good habits. They must have at least ordinary education, and be able to write plainly and with reasonable rapidity. In general, preference should be given former enumerators, if they are at present physically able to perform the duties. (Continued on Page 5.)

We are offering for sale twenty-five thousand shares of stock in the McGirt Publishing Company at one dollar per share. While we mention from 6 to 11 per cent, dividend on every dollar invested, I feel sure that with the increasing amount of business we will be able to clear even more, and that each share of stock that we are now selling for one dollar per share, will double itself in value in a very short time and will continue to rise to three or five dollars per share, which would mean that the shares we are now selling for one dollar would double themselves in value four or five times. This is a chance to make a great amount of money on an investment of a few dollars. If you wish to get in on the "ground floor" offer while the stock is cheap, write us at once. McGIRT PUBLISHING COMPANY 420 50UTH ELEVENTH 5T., PHILADELPHIA, . . . PA. "WORLD IN NEED OF BETTER WOMEN." (By Miss Novella Elizabeth Jones.) While conversing with a friend, last evening, the conversation drifted to the world's needs, and the question was asked, "Which does the world need more, better men or better women?" Some one remarked: "If the men were better, there would be more good women in the world." To this remark I replied, "If there were more good women in the world, the men would be better." The men are just what the women make of them. Woman has a deal of influence over man, and from the very beginning, since the tempting of Mother Eve in the Garden of Eden, he has been a slave to her wishes. This potency that woman has can be used for good or evil. She has man's life, so to speak, in her own hands, to make of him what she will; and I am sorry more of us do not use this power for good instead of evil. How many men's lives have been made happy, crowned with success. How many have been dragged from the very pits of oblivion and disgrace and placed on the ladder of fame, and have been made to surmount even to the topmost round, because of the noble deeds of some woman; but, alas, how many more have been dragged even from honor to shame, disgrace and degradation, because of the witchery of some treacherous woman! Upon woman hangs a great responsibility. The destiny of nations hangs upon her. She deals with the world in its infancy: when right impressions should be formed in the child-mind, so that when he has become old he will not depart from it. If a man can be so greatly influenced by woman, after he has reached the age of maturity, how much more can a child be influenced by the right or wrong teaching of its mother? We have had many women who have fought bravely by man's side, and in many instances, led in the many avenues of life, with a courage undaunted and unequaled. They were brave, noble and true—women who could not be drifted by every wind that blew; but the world is indeed in dire need of more, walking in the footsteps of THE NASHVILLE GLOBE, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 10, 1909. these. She is the foundation upon which the world stands, and if this foundation decays, great will be its fall! God grant that the day may never come when true womanhood depends upon the chastity of men! If that be true, she retains her moral position because it is a compulsion. "No credit to the man with unstained hands who would not handle a thing but with gloves," and no credit to a nation whose women are true because they have not an opportunity to be otherwise. Though the temptations be ever so many, and though there be snares on every hand, the genuine woman will resist the former and will by no means be entrapped by the latter; for "He is a fool who thinks by force or skill To change the current of a woman's will." Since woman is the reformer of the world and from the fact that it owes its all to her, let it not be the fervent prayer of one, but of all: God give us better women. Saundersville, Tenn. DEATHS.

It is surprising to see just how eager they are for dolls of this special make. Your children ought to have one. It would be one of the finest testimonials of your faith, your confidence and your value of the race to let your child know that you are not ashamed for it to carry a Negro Doll in its arms. We are offering in this issue of the Globe a full price-list of Negro dolls which are being sold in four different classes.

It is gratifying to note that this work was conceived and executed by colored physicians. It marks a new era in racial progress. STRANGE DEATH CAUSES INVESTIGATION. The almost sudden death of little Jimmie Watson, youngest son of Mrs. Bell Watson, living at 814 Tenth avenue, South, caused quite an excitement Tuesday at noon. Dr. Hale was called at once but on reaching the house he found the boy dead. No substantial facts could be obtained, the only thing obtainable was he had been complaining a few days but had gone to school every day until Tuesday morning. His mother left him in bed and was called about 12:30 to come home and found him dead. Dr. Hale stated so far as the history was concerned, nothing led up to the cause of death and he would hold an autopsy at 9 p. m. At 9:30 p. m. Drs. J. T. Wilson, J. H. Hale, A. M. Townsend, G. W. Bugg held an autopsy at the residence and found death to be due to intussusception. The body was turned over to A. N. Johnson.

FRIDAY, DECEMBER 10, 1909. STREET CAR MANNERS. There are scores of Negro men in this city who need to be taken aside and given a few lessons in how to conduct themselves on street cars. They are faulty in many ways, but we believe they are guilty of greater sins of omission than commission. One sin of omission that so many of them are so often guilty of is the way they block the entrance to street cars. The law provides that colored people seat from the rear and white people from the front. Of course the white people do not observe that portion of the law; but instead they begin to take the first seats they come to. The brother in black steps up in the door, sees a white man sitting in his seat and all the seats in the front of the car empty he continues to stand. A half dozen others will come in and do the same thing; hence, the entrance way is blocked while the front end of the car is empty. The colored men need to be taught how to act on street cars. They need to be taught the meaning of the law and how to keep within its bounds on the street cars. They should be made to see the folly in huddling, up like scared sheep in the back, and to know that as long as there is a vacant seat in the car, they are entitled to it, under the law. PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE President Taft's message to the sixty-first Congress is an able document. It shows him to be a careful student of the affairs of this nation. The people have been longing for this message in order that Taft, the man that he is, might be seen. The ten millions of Negroes in the United States will be highly elated to learn that he endorses the proposition to hold a celebration in 1913 in commemoration of the fiftieth anniversary of the Emancipation Proclamation. They will also take favorably his recommendation that congress pay the balance due the Freedman's Savings & Trust Company depositors. These are plain business propositions and if the recommendation and endorsement are carried out all the Negroes of the country will be benefitted in one way or another. There will, of course be those who will find fault with the message, that is always true; but we fail to see how any severe criticism can be made. He, no doubt, failed to say some things that some people --- THE NASHVILLE GLOBE, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 10, 1909. think he should have said, but those individuals did not write the message and the president did not know they desired that he should say what was in their minds. The document shows sanity and diplomacy such as serve to maintain the confidence of the people. STATE NORMAL. The Negroes of the State of Tennessee, from the progressive city of Memphis in the west to our secluded Mountain City in the east, are right now absorbed in the location of the Normal, Agricultural and Mechanical College for the Negro youth that was provided for by the last Legislature. Several towns and most of the large cities are bidding for the school, but thus far the committee that has the matter in charge have not hinted as to what section of the state will be decided upon. The Globe holds the same position it has expressed from time to time, and that is that the institution should be located in a section of the state where it can be of the most benefit to the most people. It is hoped that every one will work for the people's interest. We want our State Normal School to be an ideal one in every sense of the word. We believe it can be made so, and it will be if the Negroes from every section of our commonwealth will for once make a united pull. BALL, OF STRENGTH, OF MASS The Tennessee Colored State Fair Association seems to have caught the same disease that has always lurked in the path of our Business Leagues: an annual meeting and an annual adjournment. Mr. J. C. Napier, our distinguished townsman, is being favorably mentioned for an appointment by the Taft administration. No more loyal nor competent man can be found in the Republican ranks. Mr. Arthur J. Johnson, champion head receiver of the world, has at last got his man cornered. If he does any finking he ought to be killed, dried and ground into powder. Old Crimp is with us this week. He always comes about the time water taxes are due and freezes (?) up the hydrants of the delinquents. EDITORIAL CLIPPINGS The public press announces that President Taft has at his disposal a number of 'important offices which are now filled by colored men. We hope when these colored mens' terms expire their jobs will not be passed on to white men as has been the President's policy in other cases. The Fisherman's Net. An Ovation. Dr. Booker T. Washington is receiving an ovation wherever he speaks in the State of Tennessee. It is quite evident that all classes of citizens irrespective of color, condition, politics or religious creeds are giving Dr. Washington such an ovation as kings and queens only can receive. There is something in the man. He possesses a faculty that no other colored American in this country possesses. His advice to his people is such that will be a benefit to them. The Washington Bee. David Albert Green. David Albert Green. In the passing away of David A. Green The Age has lost a valued worker whose energy and activity in its service were only matched by his sterling integrity and reliability. As an advertising agent he was earnest, persuasive and unremitting in his efforts to secure business, and equally energetic in his efforts to retain it by promoting results for the advertiser. His judgment was rarely at fault in sizing up a customer, and his role as a mediator between advertiser and publisher usually brought satisfaction to both sides. Mr. Green was a New Yorker by birth and training, and was always an ardent and enthusiastic champion of the Empire City, its people and institutions. He possessed a fund of historical information bearing on this subject, fortified by rare papers and pamphlets. In his private life he was a devoted husband and father, and enjoyed the satisfaction of seeing his two daughters prepare to enter upon a career of future usefulness. In him we have lost a friend and worker.—New York Age It does seem to us that as little delay as possible should be shown by the powers-that-be in the Republican party in bringing to justice those guilty of stealing the franchise of thousands of people at the last election. The Democratic party is constantly laughing in its sleeve at the pigmy efforts of the Republican politicians. Like a lot of little school children they are always crying that they do not get justice at the polls, but never take the steps to secure what by right belongs to them. The Democratic party will actually steal the whole State right from under the noses of the Republicans and then laugh at them. We need good strong leadership in this State. When, oh when, will we ever get it?—Afro-American Ledger. *** The public drinking cup on trains is dangerous because of its location, the questionable character of the icewater that is purveyed and the use of the cup by all sorts of people. The most baleful and the most loathsome diseases may be transmitted by a drinking cup.—The Courant. *** Our enrollment to date is 325. The day school numbers 255 and the night school 70. Judging from the applications we are apt to have 350 students by Christmas. It is noteworthy the boarding students are nearly equally divided—the girls being slightly in the majority.—Normal Index. --- WOMANS' CHRISTIAN AID The Womans' Christian Home Aid Association met at the home of the Secretary, Mrs. Georgia Green, Virtual street, with the number of 20 members answering to their names and two men members were added to our number. MARTHA COURT ENTERTAINMENT. Martha Court No. 80, of Calanthe, of which Miss Janie Benson is Worthy Counsellor, gave a most unique entertainment at the home of Dr. and Mrs. J. B. Singleton last Friday night. As the affair was given to swell the finances, there were eatables of all kinds for sale. In addition to these there was a hunting contest in which those who cared to hunt were found scurrying to and fro through the house finding little packages, all of which contained something worth looking for, besides little numbered cardboards, the lucky number drawing a prize. Miss Mattie B. Scales was winner in this receiving as a prize a beautiful fern jardiniere. There was also a bean contest in which the number of beans contained in a quart jar were to be guessed. Miss Nellie E. King received for the nearest guess to the number a box of candy. The most amusing feature of the entertainment was the "Old Curiosity Shop," into which one at a time all who cared were allowed to spend one minute, and afterward write from memory the number or articles seen, the one writing the largest number of articles receiving a Japanese chocolate pot. This prize was captured by Miss Nellie E. King. Besides, there was a fortune-teller, who told the future, past and present of all. The affair, which is said to have been a financial success, was greeted by a most jolly crowd of people. Miss Benson was ably assisted by Mesdames S. P. Harris, Wm. Boger, J. B. Singleton, N. I. Riz, F. J. Work, R. H. Boyd, Misses A. R. Dunlap and Elizabeth Moore. Better Get Busy. Standing in front of one of the theatres not long ago, we noticed the large number of automobiles and the very few Afro-American chaffeurs. This set us to thinking and we commenced to wonder whether or not the Negro coachman was preparing for the change which seems to be on its way? There was a time when nearly, if not all the barber shops in this city were owned and controlled by Negro barbers. Now, as a matter of fact there are very few Negro barber shops where white people shave, and the most of these are out of the center of population. Are the Negro coachmen going to lose out like the barbers have lost out? We hope not. But now is the time to make preparation for the future. Many of these people who are still clinging to a pair of high stepping bays, will soon fall into the craze of owning and operating a "buz wagon," and if Mr. Black Coachman is not prepared to step from the box to a front seat in an auto, there will be another man in his place and he will be looking for a job. We are informed that there are night schools where the art of managing these machines is taught and we advise our friends, the Black Coachmen, to "get busy" before it is time and eternally too late for a front seat in the "Devil wagon."—The Afro-American. The President's Recommendations. The recommendations of the President in his message to Congress, asking that favorable consideration be taken concerning the Freedman's Saving and Trust Company and the proposed 1913 National Exposition for the Negro people of the United States, accord with their wishes and approval. The Freedman's Savings and Trust Company, that ill-starred financial concern that wrought such havoc with the financial savings of the soldiers who had confided them to the keeping of that institution, was inaugurated under the authority of the Government, and, in view of that fact, the Government should have long since made just restitution. That institution was the agent of the Government which had granted to it the power and authority of operation, and that, according to the accepted theory, spirit and precedent of law which places the responsibility of the acts of the agent upon the principal, should hold good in this case where the Government is responsible for the peculations of the Freedman's Savings and Trust Company, its agent by grant of legal power of operation. Many of the men who had fought the battles of their country lost practically all of their savings from what the Government had paid them for their services in the collapse and suspension of that institution. Although many have passed beyond the need of any action of Congress in the matter, yet there remains a thin blue line of those who once staked their lives in the hell of battle for the salvation and preservation of the life of a free and united government who would justly come into their own by favorable consideration and action on this long deferred matter. The President's favorable recommendation of the movement which has been inaugurated to hold a National Exposition in 1913, for the purpose of showing what the Negro people have achieved in fifty years of freedom, is commendable and timely. While the period of time which shall have elapsed between 1863 to 1913 will only be nominally 50 years in which the Negro people have made such wonderful progress in what constitutes American civilization, yet that number of years is the actual life of the issuance of the Emancipation Proclamation. This movement should find favor with all the people, and they should put forth every effort to make this exposition, which shall mark their fifty years' march from slavery, a glorious affair commensurate with their achievements. JADECEE SEVENTEENTH ANNIVERSARY. This celebration is to place before the public the long, peaceful, prosperous service of the church and pastor, to which all are invited, that they may give encouragement to a worthy cause. Rev. G. B. Taylor, pastor of the Second Baptist Church and President of the Colored Reform and Industrial School for Davidson County, will preach the Anniversary Sermon Sunday evening at 3 p. m. with Rev. T. J. Lewis as an alternate. All pastors and their churches are hereby invited to be present at this particular service. Rev. R. H. Boyd, D. D., Secretary and Business Manager of the National Baptist Publishing Board, will deliver an address, "Seventeen Years' Work of the Pastor with the Church." Committee on Arrangements—J. W. Martin, Chairman; I. Body, C. W. Porch, A. Watkins, J. S. Gibbs, R. Hughley, John Tate. Committee on Reception—Sisters A. Douglass, Chairman; Lula Tillman, Eliza Wilder, Mary Rucker, Josephine Brown, M. C. Bates, Gertrude Woodward, Nannie Rhodes, A. G. Haddox, Ollie Cook, G. H. Binkley, S. P. Harrison, Mary Womack, T. L. Kemper, Ellen Patterson and Millie Barten. Again Elected Director News comes from Jacksonville, Fla. that the Afro-American Realty and Insurance Company, located there, held its annual meeting this month and elected a new Board of Directors to manage its affairs. It is understood that a Nashville man, in person of Rev. Henry A. Boyd, was again elected as a director of the company, which owns some valuable real estate in Tampa, Miami and Jacksonville. They have declared a 6 per cent dividend for 1909, and have just completed a $10,000 building on Bridge street, Jacksonville. Mr. William F. Lancaster is the secretary and manager. M. M. M. SANTA CLAUS Christmas is most here again and we know you want to write Santa Claus a letter. The Globe will reserve space for you in the issue of the 17th of this month, which will be our next issue, and we will see that Santa Claus gets your letter if you will comply with the following request: write your letter on a clean sheet of white paper, lay a two-cent stamp on the sheet of paper, fold it carefully, put in an envelope and mail it to us and we will send your letter to Old Santa with a special request that he bring you something nice. Write your letter and mail it Monday, sure. Address your letter to THE NASHVILLE GLOBE, 447 Fourth avenue, North, Nashville, Tenn. NASHVILLE GLOBE HIGHLY COMMENDED. Time and again the Nashville Globe has received letters, cards, telephone messages and personal compliments on some special article, issue or news item, but they come so constantly that it is not every time we can acknowledge them and yet, the Globe feels that for every sincere compliment paid for its untiring efforts to give the people an up-to-date newspaper, is a dividend, hence, it renews its efforts and increases its facilities to do better the next time. A great many compliments have been paid the Globe on its two editions concerning the recent Tennessee tour by the Washington party and the tourists. From far and near has come the approbation "Well done." A letter from Mr. Emmett J. Scott, private secretary of Dr. Washington, speaks in the same tone as does one from Mr. Chas, H. Moore, Organizer of the National Negro Business League, while scores in Nashville like Dr. C. V. Roman, J. C. Nappler, J. Thomas Turner, R. H. Boyd, A. N. Johnson, D. Wellington Berry, J. D. Crenshaw, Preston Taylor, C. H. Clark, W. S. Ellington and many others, have been unstinted in their praise for the accuracy with which the entire trip through Tennessee was reported and detailed through the Globe; and how the entire paper seemed to be bent on one object, and that was making the tour and the efforts of the promoters a signal success. Such remarks and such attention to the efforts of any paper can but grafffully be acknowledged. DUTCH LUNCHEON. On Tuesday, November 30, 1909, a Dutch luncheon was given by Miss Johnnie Marie Marie Denny at her residence, 1356 Fourth avenue, South, in honor of Miss Janie Barksdale, of Clarksville, and Miss Bessie Hickerson, of McMinnville. Music was furnished throughout the afternoon by the famous Blind Buddie and Mr. Claude Glasby, of Fisk University. Dancing and card games were the principal amusements. At 4:30 p. m. the guests were called to the front lawn, where a photograph of the party was taken by Dr. Buckner, of Meharry, after which the guests reentered the home, where a tasty Dutch luncheon was served. Those composing the party were Misses Japie Barksdale, Clarksville; Bessie Hickerson, McMinnville; Luella Matthews, Callie Wiley, Mary Wiley, Myrtle Bridgewater, Lerlia Page, Mrs. James Overton, Mrs. Susie Bomar, Knoxville; Messrs.

One of the first Negro banks of the long chain of fifty odd now in operation to declare a dividend for the fiscal year just closing was the Bank of Mound Bayou, located at Mound Bayou, Miss. This bank is under the able management of Mr. Chas. Banks, who is its efficient cashier. These dividend checks were in evidence here last week, and show that down in the Delta State this year was one of prosperity. It is rumored that the bank in question has a close eye upon some material in Nashville to put on its Directorate when the increase is made or a vacancy occurs.

Assisted by University Talent. Marshall, Tex.—A gala occasion was the evening of Miss Allen's recital. Dunn Memorial Chapel was a veritable fairy-land, made so by a profusion of beautiful ferns, palms and flowers, and brilliant lights, in honor of the initial appearance of the little lady who comes to Wiley as instructor of music. Much was anticipated and much realized, for Miss Allen proved more than equal to the exacting numbers of her program, rendering each masterpiece in faultless manner as to technique and experience and with artistic finish. The Ballade of Chopin and Galop of Raff completely captivated the large audience and at once stamped Miss Allen an artist of whom we are justly proud. Miss Allen is a graduate of Fisk University and has had wide experience in musical circles since her graduation. Programme. Selections: (a) Song of the Pilgrims. (b) Song to the Evening Star.

Morton celebrated their twenty-fifth anniversary at their home, 1409 Thirteenth avenue, South, on Thursday evening, November 23, 1909. The house was beautifully decorated with ferns, and Christmas bells hung in each window, Misses Lillie Jackson and Laura Williams received the guests. At 8:30 o'clock the wedding march was rendered by Miss Mamie Johnson, and the first to enter the room was little Miss Annie May Morton, who acted as bride's maid and Master Thomas Fox as best man, then came the groom and bride, the groom in a black Prince Albert suit and the bride in a silver gray princess, which was beautifully trimmed with braid. The ceremony was performed by Rev. J. H. Lawrence. There were about fifty guests present, who were served with punch in the front hall by Mrs. James G. Morton. After the ceremony cake and brick cream were served by Mrs. Lewis Morton. Mrs. Lewis Pinkston, in words suited for the occasion, made Mr. and Mrs. Morton a present of the refreshments for the evening. After all were served a drawing game was played which was judged by Mr. R. L. Miles, Mr. Thomas Cash and Mr. Porter Carter. The first prize was won by Mrs. Susan Hobson, second prize by Mr. George W. Mayberry. Mrs. Cash read a paper on presentation of gifts. The couple received many hearty congratulations and a great number of beautiful and useful presents. IN MEMORY. Georgia Jeannetta Cornell was born September 5, 1893, in Nashville, Tenn. She departed this life November 24, 1909, a 9:05 p. m., at the residence of her aunt, Mrs. Holt, Cincinnati, Ohio. Her illness was borne patiently fifteen days. Her remains were brought to Nashville and services were held at the residence of Mrs. J. L. Hadley, 1512 Phillips street, November 29, at 2 o'clock by Rev. Preston Taylor. Several beautiful selections were sung by the Narragansett Club, of which she was an active member. Mrs. C. O. Hadley sang very touchingly, "O'clock my hand." Numberless floral tributes were sent by sorrowing friends both in Nashville and Cincinnati. Resolutions of love and respect were tendered from friends and Sunday-school mates in Cincinnati, as also from friends and clubmates in Nashville. Pallbearers were Arthur Fite, Felix Harding, Andrew Bright, Henry Matthews and Jesse Fife. She leaves a devoted mother, father, grandmother and a host of relatives and friends to mourn her loss. Our loss is heaven's eternal gain. The body was interred in the beautiful family square at Greenwood Cemetery. "Leaves have their time to fall, And flowers to wither at the north wind's breath, The stars to set, but all— Thou hast all seasons for thine own, O Death!" SUPERVISORS. (Continued from Page 1.) It is hoped, the Director states, that in many cases they will be able to secure the services of persons who do not care for the positions on account of the pay involved, but who are willing to do the work in the public interest. While not required by the law, the enumerator should live in the district he is to canvass. Only in case a competent resident can not be found should a selection be made of a person living elsewhere. The instructions state that in order to determine the fitness of enumerators the Directors will at a later date provide for an examination, the form of which will be prescribed by him, and the examination papers themselves will be passed upon by the Census Bureau. This examination will be of a practical character, consisting chiefly or wholly of the filling out of a sample schedule of population from data furnished, and, in the case of enumerators whose work will be in rural districts, the filling out of a sample schedule of agriculture. Applicants who are unable to pass this examination will be rejected, and it will be necessary for the supervisors to designate others. The utmost precautions will be adopted by the Director to obtain an examination which will accurately reflect the individual fitness of the applicants, and which, also, will be surrounded by every possible safeguard to prevent any of the applicants from resorting to collusion or from obtaining assistance in the preparation of the sample schedule. "It will be a mark of your fitness for the position you hold," state the instructions, "to make your selections in such a way that the number who will be unable to pass this examination will be as small as possible. You will later be fully informed as to this examination." The circular states that applicants should understand that their entire working time will be required during the period of enumeration, and if they accept such appointment and qualify they cannot, under the law, "without justifiable cause," refuse or neglect to perform the duties of the position. Having assumed the office, they can not retire at their own pleasure. The supervisors are advised to have in view substitute enumerators. It is stated that in enumeration districts where the population is largely of some particular foreign nationality, the supervisors ought to be able to obtain members of that nationality with sufficient intelligence and education to act as enumerators. The employment of such persons as enumerators will also tend to dispel any prejudice that may exist against the census among the foreign population. It would also reduce the cost of the employment of interpreters. The supervisors are informed that the regular form of application for appointment and enumerator; a circular setting forth the duties and qualifications of census enumerators; a blank form to contain the designated names, and a circular stating precisely the rates of compensation to be paid enumerators, will be furnished later on. Applications should be addressed to the individual supervisors and not to the Census Bureau. It is understood that the filing of applications will be permitted to continue until about January 15. The population and agricultural schedules will not be forwarded the supervisors until a few weeks before the enumeration begins. It is estimated more than 65,000 enumerators will be employed, of which number 45,000 will carry both the population and farm schedules. FISK UNIVERSITY. William Herbert Bush, the great Negro organist, will play at Fisk University Wednesday night, December 15, at a quarter before eight o'clock. He is organist in the Second Congregational Church of New London, Connecticut. He should be greeted by a large audience of appreciative listeners. Admission 25 cents. CHICAGO, ILL., NOTE. Mr. J. W.

SUBSCRIBERS AND CORRE- SPONDENTS TAKE NOTICE, There are several communities in the State in which there Is seme one who Is kind enough *y send us the news each week. We thank them for this kindness. But has It ever occurred to you that it Is Just as easy te get sub- scriptions as It Is to get news? Well, If you have not thought along that line we beg your at- tention for a minute. We want the news from every community each week, but we will not need it unless there are people in that community wne are de lrous of reading the news that tells what they are doing. We know that when people have news put In the paper about themselves they want to read It after it Is put In the paper, and they would rather pay thelr money to the reporter than any one else, because they knew he Is the one who will look after the news about them: We must have an agent In every clty, town and community in this State. To accomplish this we have decided that every correspondent must be: ah agent So hereafter each one sending news must also send subscribers for the Globe. We have the names of a number of persons whose. subscriptions will soon ex- pire. Any one desiring to become an agent and correspondent, write us at once and we will send you a list to work by.

EMPHATIC ENDORSEMENT OF NEGRO DOLLS. The coming holiday season has created much interest in the Negro Doll Company of this city. The man- ager of the company informed a Globe reporter that newspapers throughout the country of all races are paying some attention to this new enterprise. One of the strong- est articles or editorials written on the subject recently, appeared in the “New Decatur Advertiser.” This is reproduced and, no doubt, shows the attitude of the Caucastan toward Ne- gro dolls, Brand New Style of Dollis. “In a drug store on Bank street, which is under the proprietorship of an Afro-American who has a real standing in his profession, is dis- played a line of dolls such as has never been seen in this city before, “They differ from other dolls only in respect that they are made for the Negro trade, and are of bisque which has been treated to.a delicate brown color, both in the head, arms and legs. The hair is of the right texture and treatment and the whole effect is as different from the black dolls which we have been used to seeing as pebbles differ from diamonds. “There is a lesson in this window display which is of more interest to the Caucasian than Mes on the sur- face. It brings home to us the fact that the Negro as a race is becoming more independent. It also shows an independence in the right direction— a pride of race— and recognition of the fact that they have a place of their own in society which is not the assertion of “social equality.” The Negro leaders of the present day have given up social equality, and in its place we find an ambition for equality of accomplighment—of ac: tual worth. “This Negro owns the building in which his store is located, as well as other property, and he is respected by the white people of the city not for his actual wealth, but from the fact that he has worked up from pov- erty to independence—real independ- ence, such ag the drafters of the Fif- feenth Amendment did not have in mind some fifty years ago. Inciden- ally we may mention that the goods on his counters are, as far as pos- sible, made by Negroes who own heir own factories. The prescrip- ‘om clerks are Negroes, and the whole is an example of what, in the next 25 years, we shall see in every city in the South—a colony with its own stores, factories and managers. “What this may argue for the fu- ture is hard to tell; yet we can be guided by the examples of other races in drawing conclusions, and remem- ber that in large cities the poor class of Jews have their own stores, and sell to their own race; so have the Chinese and others nationalities.” ee NEGRO POLITICIANS In Havana Imprisoned, Complains » Leader, For Holding Meeting. Havana, December 4.—General Ev- aristo Estenoz, leader of the inde- pendent Negro party, has made a complaint to President Gomez at the palace that at the instigation of Brig- adier-General Asbert, Governor of Ha. vana Province, the police raided a meeting of Negroes in the city of Guines, held for the purpose of per- fecting their political organization. Many of those at the meeting, in- cluding several of the most prominent men in the district, were arrested and all were sentenced to 30 days’ im- prisonment. President Gomez has promised Gen. erat Estenoz that he will investigate the matter, CARD OF THANKS, We wish to thank our many friends for the kindness shown us through the illness and death of our dear. beloved mother, Mrs. Alice Halfacre.

Mr. Johnson, the second affirmative, held his own, but the laurels were awarded to the neg- ative. The judges were Messrs, Win- ston, Garrett and Whittaker. Pre- ceding the debate a literary program was rendered as follows: A series of songs; The Occasion, H. J. Stock- ard; “What knowleage J obtained from Tennyson,” Mr, Douglass; short address, Allen Whittaker; selection from Dunbar, BE. L. Kinzer; remarks; and meeting closed to meet at the residence of Mr, A. R. Stockard, ae | NEW RELIGIOUS. JOURNAL. It is stated upon what is regarded as reliable authority, that there is to appear in Nashville at an early date another religious journal to be known as the National Baptist Re- view, and from what knowledge can be picked up, it will be the official or- gan of the Home Mission and Pub- lishing Boards of the National Bap- tist Convention. It will be published in this city, but will have contri- tions from various parts of the Unit- ed States. The Review, according to claims made by well-informed Bap- tists, will have what few other re- ligious papers have attempted to carry out, that is, six distinct depart- ments covering practically every phase of religious work. This is another step forward for Nashville and possibly will carry it a little fur ther up as a publishing center. The fact that religious journals, business and organizations select Nashville as their place, means a great deal for the future of the magnificent city. It counts for a great deal to attract national interests to any city. ana MISS OLLIE D, FRANKLIN, OF CHICAGO. HONORED. Miss Maude J.

THE NASHVILLE GLOBE. FRIDAY. DECEMBER 10. 1909. SPORT. On last Thursday, Nov. 25th Bradley Academy defeated Turner Normal College in one of the fastest played games ever seen in Murfreesboro. At the end of the game the score was 23 to 0 in Bradley's favor. At 2.30 o'clock the two captains stood in the middle of the field. A coin was tossed and Turner won the toss and then the game was started. Turner received the ball and was held for downs. With Lytle at quarter, the ball was soon on Bradley's own 35 yard line. Woods kicked an easy goal and the touchdown was made in 5 minutes. The ball was placed in the middle of the field and was kicked to Bradley. Lytle received the ball and was thrown for a loss of 10 yards. Harris was sent over left guard but failed to gain. Woods went over for a touchdown and kicked an easy goal. The ball was put [Name] MR. D. B. RANSOM The above is a likeness of Mr. Ransom of Chicago, who coached the Meharry football team the past season. Mr. Ransom is a Chicago boy, graduate of the Hyde Park High School and a star halfback on that team, having played along with Walter Eckersall and a number of other famous pigskin artists. He will be remembered as the boy who made the famous 75-yard dash in the Chicago-New York High School game. He later went to Bellout to coach, where his work was a brilliant success. Mr. Ransom is a close student of the game and a fine coach as can be seen from his work at Meharry. He is a Christian gentleman and a fine fellow and it is to be hoped that the Athletic Associatian at Meharry can reach an agreement with him for the season of 1910. Mr. Ransom is a true lover of the game and the kind of man that keeps up the finer points of the game. It is to be hoped he will be with us again soon. in play again and the first half ended with the ball on Bradley's 25 yard line. At the end of the first half the score was 12 to 0. Turner came back in the second half strong and really outplayed Bradley. Woods kicked a difficult goal. The ball was kicked to Bradley and Harris returned it 25 yards with a few end runs. Lytle went for the last touchdown in which he ran 63 yards. This ended the game. Two Turner boys were seriously hurt, one receiving a dislocated shoulder and the other shocked from his head striking the ground. The features of the game was Thompson's field was very fast. Cartwright and good game at right end. Ransom starred at tackle. Bradley's back field was very fast. Cartwright and Mitchell starred for Turner. Scores. Bradley, 23; Turner 0.

ROUSSEAU., General Passenger Agent, Nashville, Tenn. ANNIVERSARY. (Continued from Page 1.) Reorganization of State Department on modern lines urged. Over $150,000,000 more than estimated will be the cost of the Panama Canal. Reduction of $55,000,000 in expense of running the Government shown this year. Pensions for superannuated employees of the Government recommended. Investigations of sugar frauds by Congress deprecated lest it give immunity to those the Government proposes to prosecute. Increase of the navy limited to two battleships and a repair vessel. Authority asked for appointing a commission to devise means of expediting trials and appeals in Federal Courts. Legislation suggested which shall forbid issuance of injunctions without notice and opportunity to be heard. Anti-trust and interstate commerce law amendments to be subjects of special messages. Postal savings bank and ship subsidy favored. Statehood for New Mexico and Arizona asked. Conservation and waterway improvements to be discussed in future messages. More legislation asked to suppress white slave traffic. Establishment of a National Bureau of Health recommended. Freedman's Savings and Trust Co. Recommendations have been made by my predecessors that Congress appropriate a sufficient sum to pay the balance—about 38 per cent—of the amounts due depositors in the Freedman's Savings and Trust Company. I renew this recommendation, and advise also that a proper limitation be prescribed fixing a period within which the claims may be presented, that assigned claims be not recognized, and that a limit be imposed on the amount of fees collectible for services in presenting such claims. Negro Freedom Anniversary. The year 1913 will mark the fiftieth anniversary of the issuance of the Emancipation Proclamation granting freedom to the Negroes. It seems fitting that the event should be properly celebrated. Already a movement has been started by prominent Negroes, encouraged by prominent white people and the press. The South especially is manifesting its interest in this movement. It is suggested that a proper form of celebration would be an exposition to show the progress the Negroes have made, not only during their period of freedom, but also from the time of their coming to this country. I heartily endorse this proposal, and request that the Executive be authorized to appoint a preliminary commission of not more than seven persons to consider carefully whether or not it is wise to hold such an exposition, and if so, to outline a plan for the enterprise. I further recommend that such preliminary commission serve without salary except as to their actual expenses, and that an appropriation be made to meet such expenses. Conclusion. I have thus, in a message compressed as much as the subjects will permit, referred to many of the legislative needs of the country, with the exceptions already noted. Speaking generally, the country is in a high state of prosperity. There is every reason to believe that we are on the eve of a substantial business expansion, and we have just garnered a harvest unexamined in the market value of our agricultural products. The high prices which such products bring mean great prosperity for the farming community, but on the other hand they mean a very considerably increased burden upon those classes in the community whose yearly compensation does not expand with the improvement in business and the general prosperity. Various reasons are given for the high prices. The proportionate increase in the output of gold, which to-day is the chief medium of exchange and is in some respects a measure of value, furnishes a suitable explanation of at least part of the increase in prices. The increase in population and the more expensive mode of living of the people which have not been accompanied by a proportionate increase in increase production, may furnish a further reason. It is well to note that the increase in the cost of living is not confined to this country, but prevails the world over, and that those who would charge increases in prices to the existing protective tariff must meet the fact that the rise in prices has taken place almost wholly in those products of the factory and farm in respect to which there has been either no increase in the tariff or in many instances a very considerable reduction.

P. Jordan, who acted as Dr. Cook and was presented a lovely muffler for his discovery. Mr. Luther Miller was to have been Peary, but for some cause he was absent, and that left it all for Cook. The only decoration at the No. 1 Pole was a snow house in the center of the table, where ices were served. A neat sum was realized regardless of the inclementy of the weather. The party traveled in a down-pour of rain. THE FLEUR-DE-LIS ART CLUB. Mrs. S. E. Griggs was hostess of the Fleur-de-Lis Art Club Thursday afternoon, December 2, 1909.
