NASHVILLE GLOBE VOL. VI. STORY OF THE GATASTROPHE GRAPHIGALLY TOLD BY AN EYE WITNESS. A Scene Never To Be For- Gotten. WITHOUT A MOMENT'S WARNING MEN ARE BURIED UNDER TONS OF BRICK AND STEEL—BRAVE MEN RUSH TO THE RESCUE—MAYOR HOWSE LEADS THE PARTY—MR. A. N. JOHNSON A HERO — GOES RIGHT INTO THICKEST OF THE PERILS—POLICEMEN AND FIREMEN WORK LIKE SOLDIERS. Wednesday, March 15th, will be recalled by the people of Nashville for many years to come as the Great Disaster Day. While some forty men were employed at work in the Fall and Sol Frankland's buildings removing salvage from the ruins, a high wind came pouring down upon the city and the walls supported by burned timbers gave away with the suddenness of a clap of thunder on a clear day. It occurred in the morning when the streets were full of shopper, and the crash was so terrific that hundreds were gathered at the scene in less than five minutes. Policemen, firemen and citizens rushed to the rescue of the wounded, the dying and the dead. From front to rear the collapse was general; no part here and part there between intervals; but in less than one minute with no warning, tons of brick, huge timbers, iron and wreck age came down on the men who bid [Picture of a man in a suit and tie]. MR. A. N. JOHNSON, Who Rendered Such Heroic Service in the Recent Catastrophe. gone into the death trap to earn a living. The city automobile and ambulance was on the scene as if by magic. The next moment A N. Johnson's ambulance, driven by Mr. Johnson himself, was on the scene and both were simultaneously loaded with the wounded. In a short while all the ambulances and dead wagons in the city were on hand to render services. Mr. West Morton brought his big automobile right up under the danger line and assisted in carrying off the wounded. The cries of the wounded were piteous. The rescuers, forgetful of their own safety, would occasionally look up at the tall fireman, whose eagle eye was fastened upon the wall to warn the rescuers if they should begin to fall. Sergeant Gibbons and his forty in the rear of Frankland's released three men who lost no time in getting away. In a short time Young Mr. Hart, who had a number of men working in the Frankland building, was found to be alive miraculously pinioned beneath two huge timbers supporting more than two tons of brick. No mechanic could form and shape with more exactness a protective space than this by Provl NASHVILLI TENN. FRIDAY. MARCH 24, 1911 dence alone. Within less than five feet and almost beneath, him were found the unknown and unidentified body now at Johnson's undertaking establishment. The young white men, Wood and Hamilton Gooch, were mashed and crushed into such pulps they were at first beyond recognition. It is said that two other bodies are near the scene, but as the rescuers liberated others at this point they lost no time in getting away with the exception of Will Oaf. Near the middle of the Fall building was the scene of most of the deaths. The moans of a boy were heard at least seven feet from the top. The party stopped and listened. It was repeated. Then anxious hearts made hands get swiffer. A man's life might be saved. Policemen and citizens threw off their coats. Bricks were torn from the plaster with naked hands. Huge iron girders, great timbers and heavy chains, great iron wheels—for this was where the hardware of Fall's place had helped to bring the crash—the pick, shovel, saw, ax and other tools we used until the moan was so plain that the victim could be located. The first part of the boy to be discovered were his moving lips beneath the sand and lime. Careful hands brushed it away and only a human mouth was seen. A white man quickly threw his handkerchief over the month, water was poured upon it and the boy could breathe without inhaling more dirt. Then more dirt was removed and no pen can picture the expression on that face as it held a dozen men who for an hour had exercised every nerve, energy and muscle, whose hands were bleding, whose eyes were red from the sand and lime blown by the strong wind. He could not speak for a timber was under his chin which only allowed him to groan, but groan sufficient to call to his aid strong men who were fearless. The timber was soon cut and the boy could talk and tell what directions to follow to release his arms, his body and then his legs. In a little while he was free and with the tenderness of a parent the rescues placed him in an ambiance and he was sent to the hospital. Not however until he had told how that "there were three other men just in front of him and two behind him" which information was found to be correct. The picture in last Thursday's Banner with Undertaker Johnson holding the attention of Mayor Howse, Sergeant Gibbons and Capu Holman shows Mr. Johnson giving the information to these gentlemen, and after a short search the body of Sam Head was discovered. Then that of Frank Brannon, Charlie Williams Will McCadden, West Douglass and Sherman Swanson. The work commenced that fatal Wednesday was continued throughout Wednesday night, Thursday and Thursday night, under the direction of Mayor Howse. The Mayor came right on in the thickest of the danger. He was warned back several times, for the broken middle wall stood like a spectre three stories high, with brick hanging and bending over, swayed at times by the varying winds. It was dig, saw, cut, pick. It was strain at great timbers until the men were tired out. Undertaker McGavock came in during the first part, but being feeble, soon found the situation too hard and dangerous except for the strongest in physic and daring, and had to leave. In a short while there were three colored men to venture in, and then more, until twenty had joined the force. The police department worked like soldiers. Chief Curran was to the rescue, and constantly the lieutenants and privates worked like trained soldiers. It was work hard and constant; the kind that tries men's souls, and there was never a moment's hesitation nor was it discernable that there were any less effort because the victims were colored. Such a disaster seemed to make all mankind kin. The poorer volunteers could not work long without compensation. Many said, "I want nothing." Others showed that they needed something, Mayor Howse and Mr. Wilkerson, of the Board of Public Works, put up their individual money to pay the men. Lunches, coffee, stimulants and tobacco were given to the army of men during the night. Undertaker Johnson was assisted by his faithful employees in preparing thirteen of the fifteen colored men's bodies found in the wreck, and in a short while were lain out in his parlors, where NO SIGN OF POVERTY EVIDENT— FAMILY HARD WORKING PEOPLE—BY ECONOMY HAVE PURCHASED NICE HOME—GEO. WATERS, JR., IMAGE OF THE PROFESSOR — CITIZENS OF THE COMMUNITY MAKE AFFIDAVITS AS TO WATERS' REPUTATION—HAVE KNOWN HIM FOR MANY YEARS—ALSO KNOW WILSONS. The determination of the Negroes of Nashville to have removed from the public schools Prof George Waters does not show any signs of abatement. The people of South Nashville in particular are clamoring for a mass-meeting to show to the public their condemnation of the act of this man. A Globe representative was invited to the residence of the Wilson family. The invitation was accepted. They were found in a very cozy home comfortably surrounded with the necessities of life. There were no signs of poverty, and the statement that has been made as to the number of rooms in the house in which they live was set at naught. The statement of the relatives of the debauched girl is corroborated by the representative of the Nashville Globe. The family discussed the case freely and were glad to receive a representative of the Globe. They are honest, conscientious hard-working, industrious people. The home is well kept, each room being comfortably supplied with furniture and coily decorated. There is only one thing to break the serenity of the surroundings, and that is the innocent little baby that is the very image of the man who is accused of being its father. Any one looking at the child will not hesitate for a moment to agree with its mother that she gave it the proper name when she named it George Waters, Jr. The people of South Nashville, who have known Waters from childhood, are coming to the Globe office voluntarily to make affidavits to his reputation. One Mr. Wm. Wade, who lives in Trimble Spring Bottom, testified that he has known Waters for thirty years. He also stated that Waters was arrested about a niece of his, Miss Ida Wade, nine years ago for an attempted criminal assault. He said by some method the mother of the girl was persuaded to compromise and that it was hushed up. Mr. Wade also stated that last year he was compelled to stop his daughter from attending an evening Sunday-school meeting over which Prof. Waters was superintendent on account of the manners he had towards his daughter, who was about fourteen years of age at that time. He says Prof. Waters asked him to allow her to return, but he refused to do so and informed him the reason why. Mrs. Eliza Porter, 36 South Hill street, testified that she had known Prof. Waters for several years. She also knows the Wilson family. She knows when the mother and father of the Wilson girl were married. She has always known them to be honest, conscientious, hard-working people. Their industry, she said, is best attested to by their present surroundings. They have always worked at common labor, but through economy and honest living they have accumulated a nice little home with comfortable surroundings. She said Prof. Waters was not a fit man to teach anybody's girl and that she would not think for a moment' of allowing a girl of hers to be taught by him. She said she knew him personally and had often chastized him about his wreckless way of living and his uncouth manners. The people in the vicinity of Knowles School, those who are patrons of the school, have filed their protest with the Superintendent of the Board of Education. They are more determined than ever to have Prof. Waters removed from the school. They say that his determination to remain as a teacher after having been in the courts and sentenced to serve a term in the penitentiary by a jury of twelve men is sufficient evidence of his unfitness to teach children. These people have the sympathy of both white and colored, and it is only a matter of time until the Superintendent, who is so slow to act in this case and who is demanding so much proof upon top of what he is compelled to know, will be demanded by the people of Nashville to dismiss this man, Waters, from the school roll. Negroes of Nashville and vicinity have put themselves on record in the way they have responded to appeal for relief for the relatives of the unfortunate men who lost their lives in the great disaster. The list of contributors continues to grow, and indications are that it will come close to the $500 mark before completed. The Globe has endeavored to catch what was contributed to each in order that it might be shown just how much the Negroes contributed to the relief of the distressed. Some reported to each of the daily papers. Some may have been missed, but all who gave have the satisfaction of knowing that they did give. The office of the Globe will be open for the reception of funds until March 31. We do this to grant all lodges and churches a chance. All names will be published who bring their contribution to the Globe office. The ministers' conferences are appointing a committee to handle this fund, and will see to it that equal distribution is made. The committee when completed will meet and decide what method they will pursue. The amount paid by Negroes and Negro organizations is as follows: To the Nashville Banner ..... $136.57 To the Nashville Tennessee 24.00 No.12 ASKS FOR MEETING-IN APRIL—DESIRES MEN FROM ALL PARTS OF THE WORLD—DESIRES THAT NEGROES BE UNDERSTOOD—IN NORTH AND SOUTH AMERICA AND OTHER COUNTRIES AS WELL—GUESTS WILL BE ENTERTAINED—MANY ABLE MEN EXPECTED—WILL BE WELCOMED. In a circular sent out by Dr. Booker T. Washington relative to the proposed International Conference on the Negro, Dr. Washington says: "For some years past I have had in mind to invite here from different parts of the world—Europe, Africa, the West Indies and North and South America—persons who are actively interested, or directly engaged as missionaries, or otherwise, in the work that is going on in Africa and elsewhere for the education and upbuilding of Negro peoples. "For this purpose it has been determined to hold at Tuskegee Institute, Ala., Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, April 17, 17 and 19, 1912, a little more than a year from this time, an International Conference on the Negro. Such a Conference as this will offer the opportunity for those engaged in any kind of service in Africa, or the countries above mentioned, to become more intimately acquainted with the work and the problems of Africa and other countries. Such a meeting will be valuable and helpful, also, in so far as it will give opportunity for a general interchange of ideas in organizing and systematizing the work of education of the native peoples in Africa and elsewhere and the preparation of teachers for that work. Wider knowledge of the work that each is doing should open means of co-operation that do not now exist. "The object of calling this Conference at Tuskegee Institute is to afford an opportunity for studying the methods employed in helping the Negro people of the United States, with a view of deciding to what extent Tuskegee and Hampton methods may be applied to conditions in these countries, as well as conditions in Africa. "It is hoped that numbers of people representing the different governments interested in Africa and the West Indies, as well as representatives from the United States, and the countries of South America, will decide to attend this Conference. Especially is it urged that missionary and other workers in these various countries be present and take an active part in the deliberations of the Conference. "It is desirable, in any case, to have any suggestions as to what might be done to make the work of the Conference more helpful to all concerned. The names of persons who would like to be present, with whom you are acquainted, will be appreciated, and through you they are invited to be present and take part in the deliberations of the Conference. "Those who come to Tuskegee properly accredited will be welcomed and entertained as guests of the institution and will be under no expense during their stay here. "BOOKER T. WASHINGTON, Principal.

On Friday of last week a commit- tee of men interested in the Christian Endeavor work met in this city to consider specifically the religious training of the Negro youth of the South. Prominent in the meeting were several distinguished men, among whom were Dr. W. T. Johnson, of Richmond, Va.; Dr. W. J. Darby, of Evansville, Ind. The meeting was participated in by several of the lead- ing ministers of the city, and a feel- ing of unity was prevalent. Every speech made at the meeting was full of common sense, The expressions showed conclusively that there is desire on the part of all right-think- ing men to put prejudice in the rear and work as a unit to make the world better. A number of addresses were deliv- ered by both black and white speakers at St. Paul A. M. B. Church Tuesday night, and as a result of the meeting it is believed by those interested that much good in this direction was ac- complished, Rey. J. C. Caldwell, a leading Chris- tian Endeavor worker of the A. M. B. Church, presided over the meeting. The Fisk Jubilee Club furnished mu- sic. After opening with devotions conducted by Rev. G. W. Jackson, pas- tor of Gay Street Presbyterian Church, five-minute addresses were made by Rey. N. H. Pius, Superintendent of ‘Teacher-Training of the National Bap- tist Convention, who represented the Sunday-school, and Rev. W. S. Blling- ton, pastor of the First Baptist Church, spoke on behalf of the Baptist Young People's Union. Dr, W. J. Darby, of Evansville, Ind., Dr, Ira Landrith, of Belmont College, Dr. R. H. Boyd, Secretary of the Na- tional Baptist Publishing Board, and others also delivered timely addresses. The principal address of the evening was delivered by Dr. W. T. Johnson, of Richmond, Va. trustee of the United Society of Christian Endeavor. Dr. Johnson discussed at some length the work of the Christian Endeavor Society, and gave numerous remedies for the retrogression in church work by the Negro young people, among them was that of religious activity. By giving the young people something to do in a religious way, he declared, and by keeping them in the work of the church, the general cause of civiliza- tion will be advanced. He also stated that a broader vision of the conditions that confront arace was had through Christian Endeavor work. By special request of Dr. Darby Bishop Tyree madé¢ a few remarks, and in less than five minutes electri- fied the audience with his eloquence and wisdom. Benediction was pro- nounced by Dr. Miller BETTER THAN EVER. With the anproach of Spring the people of Nashville and the surround- ing community are beginning to cast their eyes about for resting places dur- ing the hot summer days. There are many groves near the city and places where the people in days gone by ata go out at any time and have a picnic-or a day’s recreation. But with the modern ideas of farming and stock raising has come a great change in the matter of forest and groves. Every available acre of grassy land in this part of the state is used for pas- turage and no farmer will rent his grove for a picnic, nor will he allow city people to trample over his grass. This necessitates the establishment and maintenance of parks and pleas- ure grounds for the people of this city. Nashville is wonderfully blessed in this respect. With the change of conditions as regards to the owners of forests and groves came in existence Greenwood Park, This park was opened a few years ago and at that time it was out of the question to ever expect that it would be any more than. a field, but the hand of the agricul- turalist and landscape gardener and scrutinizing eye of the owner of this park has conformed this field into a veritable paradise. Greenwood park is now ranked among the first resorts in the South. Where once stood the corn stalks and the thistles now stand beautiful shade trees and wide ma- cadamized walks, set with beautiful flowers and shrubbery. Club houses have taken the places of hay farms and spring houses have sprung up where once the common pond and mud holes stood. It will be remembered that last year the spacious grandstand was de- stroyed by fire. This is being replaced by one more modern and of a great- er seating capacity, A new dining- hall is in course of erection that will comfortably entertain a party of two hundred. This and many othe> im- provements will make Greenwood the equal if not the superior of any park in the South. Another’ great conyen- ience that has not heretofore been en- joyed is the car service that will be regular throughout the season. Every- tuing has been done to make this park of comfort and pleasure to the Negroes of Nashville. If they will take advan- take of the opportunity it can be best proven when the season opens. The reputation of the place has always been the best so that the best people feei free to take their families and spend the evening any day in th> week at Greenwood park, FOR SALE, 8,000 Acrea of Land For Sale. Gordon and Hilonth have sted 3,000 acres of land in southwest Kan- sas for sale. It 1s fine productive land; produces wheat, corn, alfalfa, barley, oats, caffy and corn in abun- ance. The land can be bought om easy terms. There is also some gov- ernment land which can be made inte homesteads, It 1s from 10 to 15 miles frem the county seat and railway; fine water. The white people want a colouy of cok ored people organized andfor any im formation further, write to Rev. M. A. Eilonth, Pratt, Kans. This is a fine country for colored people. We have fine schools and no separate cars. This is the best coum try for colored people. ioe ADMINISTRATOR’S NOTICE. All persons indebted to the estate of Henry C.

FRIDAY, MARCH 24, 1911. The Canadian Attitude. The despicable race prejudice seems to be on the increase instead of decrease, as some would make believe. The latest phase of this universal problem is the antics of some Canadian cranks that essayed to object to Negroes entering that country. The amusing feature of the incident was the promptness with which our dear old "Uncle Samuel" got busy. The question suggests itself, Why does the national government make such a "fuss" over a few Negroes whom the Canadian government refused to admit as citizens, but turn a deaf ear to the numerous injustices committed against millions of them at home every day? It would sound plausible to argue that the Canadian question was of international nature and could not be handled by any state. That is true, but the real cause was these Negroes had brought on a condition which, if allowed to go unnoticed, would have at some time been applied in the case of white American citizens. Prejudice and discrimination may work all right under some conditions, and may not cause any friction for many years, but at some time, somewhere, it will bring trouble upon any nation that tolerates it. A Commendable Innovation. There is soon to be rendered by the Pearl High School Glee Club a concert, the prime object of which is to raise funds to assist deserving high school graduates to continue their education in some higher school of learning. The date has not yet been decided upon, but it will not be amiss to say a word at this time about the proposed aid of the high school students who are deserving. If we observe carefully there will be discovered from time to time a boy or girl who has a brilliant mind, but is not in position to secure that training necessary to a full development. No one is in better position than the school teacher to pick out the characters and the fact that the faculty of our high school are interesting them selves in this matter is a guarantee that none but the most deserving will be given these opportunities. Of course, no paernts who are able to pay for their children's education would think for a moment of allowing them to become the wards of charity, but only those who would, but whom environment hinders. The people should give these concerts liberal support. What is spent in such a cause may always be counted as a profitable investment, and who knows but a great man or a great woman may be developed through these efforts? With our army in Texas and Col Roosevelt in the West, we ought to be able to convince Mexico that she is in great danger of being shot to death and beaten into a pulp. NASHVILLE GLOBE, FRIDAY, MARCH 24, 1911 The Negroes of this city have responded to the needs of the families of the men who lost their lives in the recent disaster in a way that bespeaks a new awakening that has long been lacking on their part as a people. It is not the intention to convey the idea that they have done all they could or should have in such a crisis, but the encouraging feature of it is the fact that the showing made in this case is the most creditable of which we have any knowledge. What has been contributed has come without solicitation; the people were moved by an appreciation of their duty to their fellow-men, and gave with hearts that were touched with a deep sympathy for those who are in distress. We have endeavored to give credit for all we have done, not in a selfish way, but that it may be known to what extent we have contributed to the large fund that has been raised. We have extended the time for receiving contributions to the 31st of this month, because we believe there are other individuals and organizations that desire to be numbered with those who have already contributed. It would be a creditible showing if the Negroes of Nashville would increase the amount to $1,000. They can and ought to do it. The white people have given freely. The fact that all but two of the victims were Negroes has never entered into the case; humanity's sake appealed to the people and they responded out of the largeness of their hearts. This should inspire the Negroes of this city to respond in this crisis to the full extent of their ability. The words of Hon. J. C. Napier, uttered at the banquet given in his honor on the eve of his departure for Washington counseling his friends to live at peace and work in unity, are still ringing in the ears of the people We need peace. Without it very little can be accomplished. We thought the groundhog had prevaricated, but recent developments are substantiating his prediction. Washington, March 18, 1911. To the Editor of the Globe, Nashville, Tenn. Please allow me through your columns to express the sincere thanks and the high sense of appreciation of both Mrs. Napier and myself to the many friends who treated us so kindly upon our departure from home, and to say to them that we arrived here in safety on Tuesday morning after a most pleasant and delightful trip from Nashville. Not for one moment have we ceased to remember the kindnesses, the courtesies and manifestation of love and esteem shown us by our good warm friends during our last days at home. The thought of these things continually draw us back to Nashville and will not cease to haunt us until we are again back in your midst where we shall be happier and more contented than elsewhere. To us there can be no friends so dear as those at home. I have entered upon my duties and hope to be able to make satisfactory report of my stewardship here. COMMUNICATION History is a record of past achievements and on the basis of this record we understand present conditions and lines of future development. It is therefore, evident that any people that wishes to understand its present life and control its future development must know its past history. This method is largely the method of the social sciences to-day—the historical and genetic view—understanding the thing as it exists to-day by its origin and by the past record it has had. History then has not only become a record of the past, but such a record that the mistakes and successes, the trials and failures of the past become a fund of philosophy to guide the conduct of the present and the future. So well is this truth understood that nearly every people and nation take care to preserve their records and traditions and to instill these by constant repetition into the mind of each rising generation. It is obvious what a difference there would be in the attitude of every American if nothing were taught him during childhood of its nation's history. The same would be true of every German, Frenchman or Englishman, of every Chinaman or Japanese. The Negro is no exception in his relation to history and to his own history. We want to make progress. We want the light of experience to light our pathway. How can we secure this unless we know what has been our experience? Growing out of his study in a course on the "History of the Negro in America," given at Flsk University, a student has published an article on "Why We Should Study Negro History," in the March issue of the "Fisk Herald." A paragraph from this article is in point here. He says: "Every intelligent man or woman should be well acquainted with the history of his or her people. Every intelligent German when asked of German history knows: every intelligent American when asked of American history knows: every intelligent Negro when asked of Negro history should know." The fact implied is that every intelligent Negro does not know. The same article goes on to point out some of the reasons for studying Negro history, such as an acquaintance with the great Negro characters of the past, the economic, the educational, political and religious achievements of the race during its history in America. Looking at the matter in its larger bearing, one is justified in saying that the object of such study is to furnish a confidence for our future improvement based upon past achievements. Further, the comparison of present conditions with the more unfavorable past gives ground for patience and perseverance in the face of the ills we have, and gives hope that the best is yet to be. Now, our children study during their grammar school, high school and college years, the history of almost every people except our own. Of course, they should know the achievements of the Greeks, of the Romans, of the Spanish, of the Dutch and of the host of others that have followed in their train, but in addition to this they should know the record of their own people. In no other way can they imbibe the spirit of our kind. How many of our homes feel the influence of our Jubilee songs and how many of our children know the origin of these songs? How many children, when they study the story of the struggle for American Independence, know of the black patriots of the Boston Massacre and that about 5,000 of the troops of General Washington's army were Negroes? How many are told of the part their ancestors had in many of the explorations of America from Balboa on the Pacific to Peary at the North Pole? How many are taught to love the poetry of Phyllis Wheatley along with that of Philipp Frencaun and the sweet strains of Dunbar with that of Longfellow, Lowell and Lanier? How many place the name of Tanner, the artist, beside that of Turner? The writer found a few months ago that, in a club of seventeen Negro boys between eleven and sixteen years of age, only one knew even the name of Frederick Douglass and that one did not know why Douglass had a noted name. Then we blame such boys when they do not show high aspirations. Some other questions may be pertinent: how many intelligent ones of us really know what a factor the Negro has ben in the nation? What a labor force he has furnished in the South since about 1619? How profoundly this affected agriculture and all other industry of the country? How there grew out of this economic problem the serious social and political complications which shook the nation as other things did in its history? And if we put on the seven-leagued boots of the mind and across the ocean to Africa, how many of us have a clear idea of the civilization that has there developed among these blacks, or how many of us think of Africa as made up of vast deserts and jungles infested by caravans of cannibals? Race progress is built upon physical and social heredity. And to know our inheritance we must study our ancestors and their record. We have in this sufficient ground for confidence and hope to buoy us up in the present and bear us onward into the future. QUARTETTE HONORED.

Wilson and Judia Wilson; he was the fifth child born in the Wilson home, being 23 years old. Mr. Wilson professed a hope in Christ a few days before his death, and called Dr. Meridith, his scriptural adviser, to come to his bedside, baptize and take him into the church. Mrs. Etta Davis informed him that the doctor was in Nashville and could not be reached at that hour of the night. He was induced to accept Rev. G. W. Marsh to officiate as no other church would suit him but Galllee M. E. Church. His funeral was conducted Tuesday, March 12th, at 2 p. m. at the Galllee Church. Rev. B. J. Meridith assisted by Rev. G. W. Marsh, Rev. Hunt, pastor of the A. M. E. Church; Rev. M. F. Riley, pastor of the Baptist Church, and the order of service rendered by the assistance of Mrs. Etta Davis and the Galllee choir. Dr. Meridith took for his text Job 7-14, and it is conceded that such a funeral never took place in this town. He seemed to have had special inspiration on this occasion. The Galllee M. E. Church was draped in mourning by Mrs. L. A. Wilkes. The church was taxed beyond its seat ing capacity, and people were standing inside and outside long before the hour for service. DICKSON NOTES.
