SUPREME SEC'Y STABS GRAND
SECRETARY PYTHIAN OFFICIALS SCRAP
C. K. Robinson Stabs W. A. Gunnell.
INFLICTS FIVE WOUNDS—ALL THE RESULT OF TRIVIAL DISPUTE—ASSAILANT ARRESTED, BUT RELEASED ON BOND—GUNNELL'S WOUNDS CONSIDERED DANGEROUS — CLAIMS THE ATTACK WAS UNWARRANTED — WILL PROSECUTE ROBINSON-STRUCK WHILE IN HIS SEAT.
From Central Afro-American.
St. Louis, Mo., April 8.—One of the most disgraceful affairs that has occurred among the better class of Negroes in the City of St. Louis was the murderous assault upon W. A. Gunnell, Grand Secretary of the Grand Lodge K. of P. of Missouri, by C. K. Robinson, Secretary of the Supreme Lodge K. of P., Monday last, about 8:15 p. m.
The trouble occurred in the office of Mr. Gunnell at Pythian Hall, 3137 Pine Street, and was the result of a dispute over a bill for supplies furnished the Grand Lodge. It is the first disgraceful act committed by any one on the premises, which is the headquarters for the K. of P. of Missouri and contains the offices of the Grand Chancellor, Grand Secretary, Treasurer of the Endowment, and manager of the building. Grand Chancellor Llyod was not in the building at the time, he having been assigned to speak at St. James' Church in Elleardsville, not returning until 10:30 p. m.
When seen by an Afro-American representative at his home, Mr. Gunnell made the following statement: "I made a business engagement to meet Mr. Robinson at my office Monday, April 3rd, at 8 p. m., to assist me in adjusting the records turned over to me by him which he had kept as Secretary of the Pythian Hall Commission. I have repeatedly requested this meeting, for the reason that the Beneficiary Board now controls the property, and the members at the last quarterly meeting instructed me to get with Mr. Robinson and go over the records and adjust some discrepancies, as they could not understand the records left by Mr. Robinson. Having recently received a bill for supplies from Mr. Robinson covering items which my records show have been paid, I thought it a good idea to go over this account with him, and thus save him a second trip to my office, or myself a trip to his office.
"When I asked him to explain why the Grand Lodge should be charged for items which had been paid, he became very angry, which led to the argument, I insisting that I wanted him to explain the bill. I was seated at my desk behind a small table, and Robinson was seated at the opposite side of the table facing me. During the argument Robinson called me a fool, and I replied in kind when suddenly he sprang to his feet, rushed to me and struck me in the left eye before I could rise from my chair. As quickly as I could get to my feet, I grappled with him, striking as best I could to defend myself, while he as I thought, was punching me in the stomach and side. At this juncture we were separated, when I learned for the first time that the big coward had been stabbing me, while I thought he was fighting like a man, as I was. I had no idea that he was going to strike me, much less attempt to take my life, over a trivial business argument.
"I do not regret my injuries as much as I do the degradation and shame the brutal act of Robinson will bring to our organization and race."
"I am the man who, as Supreme Representative at the Supreme Lodge session at Kansas City, Mo., in 1909, when his former supporters were deserting him, made the speech nominating him for the office to which
NASHVILLE, TENN., FRIDAY, APRIL 14, 1911
he was elected and is now filling, but which he has forever disgraced. If I recover I feel it my duty to my family, organization, the community and my race to prosecute this brute to the full extent of the law. I have never had any ill feeling toward Robinson; on the contrary, I have given him all the business from my office for printing, and have always spoken a good word for him when occasion demanded it."
"I had occasion to call at the office of Mr. Gunnell about 8:15 p. m., April 3rd, in company with Mr. Ernest Bell. As I approached the door of the office I heard loud talking and as I came closer to the door with the iron grating I saw Mr. Gunnell seated at his desk, and I heard a man exclaim, 'You are a fool!' and Mr. Gunnell replies by repeating the name, when the man whom I then recognized as C. K. Robinson, sprang at Mr. Gunnell and struck him in the face while he was seated at the desk. Mr. Gunnell then clinched with Robinson and they both fell against the door, preventing my getting in at once to separate them. Finally, with the assistance of Mr. Bell, I forced them away from the door, got into the room and separated them.
"When we all came out into an adjoining room, still keeping the men separated, we were horrified to learn that Mr. Robinson had stabbed Mr. Gunnell several times."
The statement of Mr. Dunn was fully corroborated by Mr. Bell, who was also an eye-witness.
Robinson, after the stabbing, at once left the hall, but was arrested Tuesday morning at his place of business on Market street by officers of the Eighth District. He was later released on bond pending the result of Gunnell's wounds.
IMPORTANT MEETING OF CITIZENS AT FISK UNIVERSITY.
MATTER OF AIDING THE TRUS EES FREE-LY DISCUSSED.
On Wednesday evening at eight o'clock a number of citizens met in the parlors of Jubilee Hall for the purpose of discussing the future of Fisk University. It will be remembered that the Rockefeller Foundation for the promotion of education a few months ago made a conditional gift of several thousand dollars to the University, and this meeting was called to see what interest the citizens of Nashville felt in the matter, and what aid they would lend to the institution.
President Gates explained in detail the needs of Fisk. He convinced all present that such an institution needed the moral and financial support of the people of the community where it is located, and since Fisk is a Negro school it stands to reason that those who are interested in the higher education of the Negro youth would expect those Negroes who have been benefited by the aid of such institutions to manifest an interest of the perpetuation of the same.
Many talks were made and every one expressed a deep interest in the work, and while the Negroes are not able to do much in a financial way it was evident from the expressions of those present at the meeting Wednesday night that a hearty response would be made to an appeal for the University. Among those present and who made talks were Dr. F. A. Stewart, Mr. A. N. Johnson, Mr. Preston Taylor, Prof. Hardy Keith, Dr. Geo. W. Moore, Dr. S. W. Crosthwait, Dr. R. H. Boyd and others.
NEGROES LEAVING OKLAHOMA
Exodus to Canada Still in Full Force Despite Cool Reception.
Guthrie, Okla., April 11.—The exodus of Negroes from this state to Alberta, Canada, which started several months ago, is continuing, despite the fact that it is not encouraged by the Canadian government. Twenty Negro farmers from near Fallis, Lincoln County, left here last night to join the colony in Alberta.
They expect to take claims and immediately build homes and start their crops, after which their families, numbering in all about 200 persons, will join them. It is said here that a colonization company is financing the Negroes during the first season.
Mrs. John Webster, of Wartrace, Tenn., was called to the city a few days ago, on account of the death of her great grandchild, Everlyn Voorhies. Mrs. Webster is stopping with her daughter, Mrs. Lizzie Barnes, of Pearl street.
WATERS BEFORE A COMMITTEE
WATERS BEFORE A COMMITTEE
STOUTLY FIGHTS FOR HIS POSITION.
Citizens Tell Reasons For Opposition.
CASE ARGUED ON DEFENDANT'S MORAL CHARACTER — CITIZENS OF SOUTH TESTIFY FOR AND AGAINST HIM—SOME OF WATERS' WITNESSES WOULD NOT MISREPRESENT THE FACTS—MANY STRONG AFFIDAVITS READ — COMMITTEE AFTER HEARING EVIDENCE HOLDS EXECUTIVE SESSION.
On last Saturday in the offices of Maj. J. B. Stahilman in the Stahilman Building, one of the most strenuously fought cases that has ever been witnessed in this city as fought out in the presence of the Instruction Committee of the Board ofEducation. It was the celebrated Waters case. Prof. Waters was returned to the Knowles School as a teacher after having been acquitted by the Supreme Court of a grave charge, and the citizens were protesting his return. Prof. Waters was represented by his attorney, Mr. Richard West. The citizens were represented by Gen. Jeff McCarn. It was evident from the outset that each side had planned to contend every inch of the ground. Many witnesses were examined on both sides, but those who testified for Prof. Waters made a feeble attempt to break down the testimony of the citizens who testified against him. It was agreed by both sides that the opinion of the Supreme Court would not be brought in question, but that the case would be decided solely by Prof. Waters moral reputation. The attorneys for both sides made it clear that they would not in any way attempt to criticise the supreme Court and expressed themselves as believing that that tribunal rendered their decision justly, according to the evidence before them. The witnesses present were all duly sworn and were examined one at a time, as in the regular court. Gen. McCarn read a long list of affidavits of citizens in the community where Prof. Waters has lived all of his life. They all swore that he bore a bad reputation morally. These affidavits were stamped with the seal of a regular notary public.
The witnesses were then examined and they unfringingly testified, some what they know and others what they had heard. Prof. Waters introduced his witnesses and in every case these witnesses were compelled to admit what they had heard rumored since the Wilson case had come up, that Prof. Waters had, previous to that time, had similar trouble. One of his witnesses, a minister of the gospel, testified that in his community, which is several blocks removed from the immediate community where where Prof. Waters lived, the sentiment was about evenly divided, that he had heard it rumored both ways. All the witnesses being examined, they were all dismissed, and the Board went into executive session.
On Monday morning several persons are reported to have seen Prof. Waters on the street, and it was also learned that he was not teaching at Knowles School. The action of the committee could not be ascertained, as the Superintendent was out of his office and none of the members of the Committee could say what was teacher, but it is the consensus of opinion that the Committee suspended Prof. Waters, which is believed to mean that they would recommend to the Board of Education that he be dismissed. This ends another chapter in the case that has aroused great interest among the people of Nashville.
BIG SUNDAY-SCHOOL UNION.
Last Sunday the greatest meeting in the history of the local Baptist Sunday-School Union was held at the Mt. Olive Baptist Church. While every Sunday-school in the city was not represented directly by its su
perintendent, it looked from the size of the audience that the forty-odd Baptist schools had sent some of their scholars to take part in the splendid program rendered. Notwithstanding the inclement weather of the previous week, which prevented the program committee from getting together, the meeting Sunday was filled with interest and enthusiasm. The topic for discussion was "Unity." It was opened by Mrs. Brown, a member of the Sunday-School Union and a teacher of Mount Olive. Her splendid paper dealt with the subject in such a concise and intelligent way that it was like an electric spark. More than sixteen superintendents were ready to continue the discussion which, however, was consigned to two speakers, Mr. S. H. Johnson, superintendent of Pleasant Green, and Dr. R. H. Boyd. The Union went on record as favoring the new classes organized by the Publishing Board of the National Baptist Convention. The name Metoka is substituted for Baraca, while Galeda will be the future name of the young ladies' organization heretofore known as Philathea. The members of these various classes from schools throughout the city surrendered their old pins and buttons, leaving the Union wearing the new paraphrannalia of the Metoka and Galeda. Another interesting speaker was Rev. Wm. Beckham. The superintendent of Pleasant Green Sunday School announced that his entire teaching force, consisting of twelve, had been elected delegates to the Sunday-School Congress which convenes in Meridian, June 7-12. This will, it carried out, be the largest number of Congress delegates to leave any single school in the city of Nashville. The report of the Program Committee was the last number of the evening. The next meeting will be held the second Sunday in May, the 14th, with the North Third Avenue Baptist Church, Rev. John Slaughter, pastor R. H. Hudson, superintendent. The subject for discussion will be the "Future Outlook of the Sunday-School Congress."
ANNUAL INSPECTION OF CO. "G" INFANTRY UNATTACHED.
Company "G," the only Colored Military regularly organized and recognized by the U. S. Army in this section was visited by Lieut. Hanna a representative of the U. S. A., on April 4, 1911, for Annual Inspection. Promptly at 9 o'clock p. m., Lieut. Hanna accompanied by Capt Rogan entered the Armory on Fourth Avenue, South and met fifty men equipped in the beautiful new uniform of one U. S. A. awaiting his arrival. Captain Bowman presented the officers and men in heavy marching order, that is they were equipped with the heavy blanket-roll, shelter tent, knap-sack, canteen gun, bayonet, etc. The knapsack contained a complete set of paps, cap, knife, fork, and spoon, and a toilet set of comb, brushes, towels, etc., all of which were exposed and carefully inspected by the eagle eye of Uncle Sam's experienced eye of Capt Bowman ordered 1st Lieut, C. O. Hadley to close the ranks and so promptly was the order obeyed and the ranks closed with such ease and dispatch that the Lieut. was assured by the Inspector that the feat could not be better done. "It was just like the book." The Company ranks first in having the largest number of long service of enlisted men, some of whom have served eleven and twelve years. Second Lieut. Moses Collier and First Sergeant Abbie Walker, as well as other officers displayed a knowledge of their duties worthy of their respective offices.
On next Sunday, Easter, the Company will hold its first Annual Sermon at Rev. Jack Harding's Church in South Nashville. The public is invited to be present. The Company will have appropriate exercises at the church under the direction of the Hospital Surgeon 1st Class, Dr. J. A. Lester and their return march to the Armory at 5:30 p. m. in front of the Custom House, there will be a review of the Company and drill. Nashville has the best of many things. Her schools, colleges and churches give her the distinction of the "Athens of the South." The fact that she has the only Negro Military Company, equipped and recognized by the U. S. A. in this section is an honor of which she is greatly proud.

SPECIFICATIONS NORMAL SCHOOL
ACCEPTED BY BOARD OF EDUCATION
Negro Architect Ran Third in Bidding.
PLANS CALL FOR FIVE BUILDINGS—MAIN OR ADMINSTRATION BUILDING—GIRL'S DORMITORY—BOYS' DORMITORY—TWO WORKSHOPS—ALL TO BE OF BRICK AND MODERN ARCHITECTURE—TO BE LIGHTED WITH ELECTRICITY — ASSEMBLY ROOM WITH SEATING CAPACITY OF FIVE HUNDRED.
At a meeting of the State Board of Education Saturday afternoon eight plans submitted by as many architects for the Negro Normal School at Nashville were examined. The specifications called for a main building, $35,000; girls' dormitory, $20,000; boy's dormitory, $10,000, and shop for manual training, including both wood and iron work, $5,000. The plans submitted by C. K. Colley, of Nashville, were finally selected by the Board, and his estifiate of cost comes within the amount specified, $70,000.
The main building is planned for twenty-three rooms and an auditorium, or chapel, with a seating capacity of 500. Rooms are also provided for domestic science, laboratory, recitation, library, etc., and vary in size from a lecture room for eighteen or twenty pupils up to a capacity for fifty pupils.
The girls' dormitory will accommodate eighty girls and the boys' dormitory about an equal number of boys.
It is the hope of the board that the buildings will be ready for occupancy January 1, 1912.
Money to the amount named in the specifications is now available for the work. As soon as the specifications can be agreed upon and formulated, which will be in the next few days, the board will advertise for bids, including all grades of work necessary to complete the buildings.
The ground selected for the school is a tract of thirty-five acres at the end of the Jefferson street railway line, on what is called the Zollicoffer Hill. The location is an admirable one, and is self-draining in all directions.
The main building is to be of brick two stories high, with stone foundation, and will be wired for electrification, and the two dormitories of the same general style of architecture.
Under the specifications agreed upon by the board, the successful architect will receive the usual architect's fee, or such amount as the board and Mr. Colley shall agree upon, which is usually 5 per cent.
The school will be designated as the Agricultural and Industrial Normal School for Colored Pupils.
Mosee McKissack, the only Negro architect bidding, ran third. Mr. McKissack received many compliments from the Governor and members of the Board of Education.

FRIDAY, APRIL 14, 1911.
Progressive Nashville.
The white merchants of this city are putting forth strenuous efforts to push Nashville to the fore ranks of the modern southern progress. A campaign is now on to raise a large boosting fund with which the country may be made to know just what it is possible to get in Nashville and how much better the things made here are than those made elsewhere. Nashville is a great manufacturing center, and is deserving of a higher standing in the commercial world than that at which she is now rated. This fact is realized and every true citizen ought to be willing to do his or her part to help put our city in her proper place.
What are the Negro merchants of Nashville doing toward this development? Can they do anything? Yes, and not only that, every Negro can do a part of the work necessary to put our city where she justly belongs. The first and most needed thing among the Negroes of this city—merchants, professional men, laboring men, women and children—is unity. We need to put aside those petty jealousies that are in evidence on every hand and unite to work for the general good of the people. We need an association made up of the thinking men of all classes, whose duty it would be to come together from time to time and map out plans of operation. This body should be composed of level-headed men who can conduct themselves in such a way as to command the confidence and respect of the people. If we had such an organization we could educate the masses in many things that go to make a city better.
Our merchants ought to have a separate and distinct organization. There is no better name than business league. We have two organizations bearing names similar to that. Both of them are hibernating. So it seems that the only hope of having a live, active organization is to create another unless the officers of the two said organizations will muster up the courage to resign and allow some men who have the time to do so to take the reins and set about to get the business men together and put them to work. No man can live to himself, and therefore the Negro business men need to come in contact with each other. We come together in societies and in our churches, and we feel that it is absolutely necessary for us to do so, and it is equally as true that our business men need to get together and discuss plans and exchange views.
If we can unite our forces we can do a great work to help put our city where it ought to be. We owe it to the city in which we live to do all we can for its development.
Robinson-Gunnell Row.
The difference between Mr. Robinson, Secretary of the Supreme Lodge of the Knights of the Pythias, and Mr.
NASHVILLE GLOBE, FRIDAY, APRIL 14, 1911
Gunnell. Secretary of the Grand Lodge of the Knights of Pythias of Missouri is to be deplored by all. Whatever the misunderstanding was, it could have been adjusted in some way without resorting to blows or to the use of deadly weapons. If Mr. Robinson attacked Mr. Gunnell, as it is claimed he did, he is not a fit man for the high position he holds. Such a character would serve as a millstone on the neck of the whole order, and on the other hand if Mr. Gunnell conducted himself in such a way as to provoke Mr. Robinson to assault him, he, Mr. Gunnell, is not the man to be Secretary of the Grand Lodge of Missouri. We need strong and courageous men in public office. With the opposition that is confronting the Negro societies in this country, we cannot afford to have officials who so far forget themselves as to butcher up one another.
We do not agree with the contention that the acts of Robinson and Gunnell put the whole Negro race on trial. They have put themselves only on trial. The remainder of the ten millions of Negroes had nothing to do with their row, and will not be measured by their mistakes. It is a false notion too often expressed by the Negro press and too generally believed by the Negro people that when one Negro gets in a difficulty the whole ten million of us are under condemnation. Such nonsense is a full acceptance of the charge that all Negroes are the same. We must overcome that weakness. Every Negro must stand for himself or fall for himself as an individual. We regret that the difficulty has occurred, but we do not feel that Negroes should go marching up to the court ten millions strong because Robinson and Gunnell are settling their misunderstandings there.
Negroes are getting just like white folks in everything. The cashier of the 'True Reformers' Bank is gone to parts unknown, and with him 30,000 plunks; but Negroes keep organizing banks just as if nothing had happened.
And now the only pure and undefiled Independents have flown the coop. Did not think Newell would leave the door open.
If it does not rain Sunday we will get out our Easter clothes. Whether they be in the tailor shop or the pawnshop.
A few play grounds for children of the mixed line. Catch the hint? Act upon it.
The Greenwood "Gi'nts" are off to Memphis. They just as well be slaughtered there as the Volunteers.
Jack Johnson must be a great man. His head is shaped like Chas. Banks'.
CONTRIBUTION TO THE RELIEF FUND FROM TOPEKA, KANS.
Mrs. Henry Bell Chatham, of Topeka, Kans., sent a contribution of $1.00 to aid the families of those who lost their lives in the recent catastrophe which befell our city. This shows the widespread sympathy the people have for the sufferers. This brings the total of the Globe Fund up to $193.65.
ERIN NOTES
Last Saturday night, April 8th, seemed to be very pleasant to the leaders of Tyree and Salter's clubs. Mrs. Alpha Johnson, leader of the former, and Mrs. D. B. Love, leader of the latter. Their entertainment was largely attended in St. Luke A. M. E. Church by the members and friends. Presiding Elder Porter visited the city. Palm Sunday, the 9th, was a high day for the ladies of the Eastern Star in the town of Erin.
PARIS NOTES.

MILAN, TENN.
Northcross-Webb.
The marriage of Rev. Wyatt Northcross and Miss Emma Golden Webb was one of great enjoyment. The bride was one of Milan's best young ladies and a graduate of Roger Williams University. The groom is one of Tennessee's best preachers, and intellectually equipped. The bride's maids were her classmates, Miss Eddie Kelly Johnson, of Columbia, Tenn., and Miss Virginia Lee Linder, of Hickman, Ky. The groom's waiters were Mr. J. A. Thomas, of Martin, Tenn., and her brother, Ulysses Webb, of Milan. On reaching the church the flower children led the bridal party, strowing flowers as they went and the little boy carrying the ring on the petal of a lily. Then followed the waiters and the bride and groom; the ring was then placed on the bride's finger by the little flower girl.
BASEBALL BRIEFs.
The kind of Baseball you will see at Greenwood is worth while. We play only first-class, gentlemanly ball. There will be nothing said or done on our grounds that will offend the most fastidious person.
Let me see you at Greenwood Park April 17th, 18th and 19th.
The Memphis Tigers played St. Louis to a standstill. So you are sure to see a good game.
Don't miss the opening games. 17th, 18th and 19th. You can wear that Easter front out to Greenwood Park on Easter Monday.
Remember the game is called at 3:30. We want to see the ladies out in their swell clothes Easter Monday to cheer the Greenwood Giants.
Remember the cars run to Greenwood Park every ten minutes. They go right up to the park gate.
You won't have to sit in the sun out at Greenwood Park. The grandstand is ready and waiting. Pay your money and sit where you please.
The Greenwood Giants are the fastest collection of ball-players that has ever represented Nashville. Come out and see them work.

Mrs. Ewing was the widow of the late Harvey Ewing, who was one of the three members of the Nashville Fire Department whose lives were sacrificed in the memorable fire of 1892.
She was prominent in society organizations, being a member of Olive Branch Court and the Chapter of Eastern Star. She was a devout Christian woman, possessing many admirable qualities which won for her a host of friends.
Funeral services were held Monday afternoon from the Spruce Street Baptist Church, of which she had been a faithful member for a number of years. Mrs. Ewing was the mother of Fred J. Ewing, a prominent young business man, whose many friends sympathize with him in his bereavement.

REV. J. A. CRUMP AGAINST THE WESTERN UNION TELEGRAPH CO.
Special to the Globe.
Shelbyville, Tenn., April 8, 1911.
The case of Rev. J. A. Crump against the Western Union Telegraph Company, mention of which was made some time ago through the Globe, came up for a second hearing in the Circuit Court on the 4th inst.
at Shelbyville.
It will be remembered that judgment was given Rev. Crump in the lower court for the sum of $200.00. This was an appeal case, the matter having been appealed by the Telegraph Company. It was a case where Rev. Crump had sued the company for withholding a telegram sent Mrs. Crump last August the 7th, for about forty-two days. The message announced the death of her father. The prosecutor claimed that said delay in the delivery of said message caused considerable mental pain and agony. On these grounds suit was brought. The whole day was consumed in the hearing of this case on the 4th. The defense was represented by Mr. Campbell, of Nashville; the other side was represented by Mr. W. H. Crowel, of Shelbyville.
The case has from start to finish created considerable interest throughout the county, and has been closely watched. Witnesses for Rev. Crump consisted of a number of the best citizens, both colored and white, in the county. It seemed that the defense scraped nearly every dive in the town to find witnesses for their side, but their testimony seemed to fall flat. Two or three white men who testified on behalf of the defense seemed to try to tell the truth. The case was given to the jury who, after five hours' deliberation, failed to reach an agreement. Having been sent back the second time, they again failed to return a verdict, after several hours' deliberation. It is said that the jury stood 6 to 6. This case will come up again in the next term of court in August.

The Greenwood Giants Baseball Team leave to-night for Memphis. They play there Saturday and Sunday and come home Menday, bringing Memphis with them for three games, Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, April 17, 18 and 19. The Greenwood Giants are by far the fastest set of ball players Nashville has ever had and aside from this they play a good, clean, gentlemanly game No rowdy, loud, abusive language is tolerated on their team. While it has ben the desire of the management to get together a fast bunch of ball players, they are bent upon one thing, and that is to have nothing but gentlemen on the team. They are soliciting the patronage of the people of Nashville and will give them a fast, clean article of baseball. The opening games will be played April 17, 18 and 19 with Memphis. It is to be hoped that quite a crowd will turn out and encourage the boys and
NASHVILLE GLOBE, FRIDAY, APRIL 14, 1911
see what kind of an article they are going to put up.
Mr. John White, of the Standard Giants, will announce his dates in the next issue of the Globe. He reports a strong team with plenty of good games ahead. He has some strong, fast men that will make trouble for any team.
Rose, Campbell, Sublett, Means and Kindle. Look out, Memphis. I see you going now.
And that boy Martin is no slouch. That catch he made Saturday was some catch, I thank you.
Everybody should come out Monday and pull hard for the boys to win. They need all the encouragement they can get.
Luther O'Neal, a Nashville boy, who is playing with West Baden, is sure making god with that stick. His two and three base hits are a common thing nowadays. The Cuban Stars Team from Ha-
vana Cuba, will have with them one of the greatest pitchers in the game to-day. Everybody ought to come out and see him.
Daddy Hurt has come back, boys. But he says the old man has never been away.
Romember the game Monday is called at 3:30. Be on time or you will miss something good.
On Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, April 17, 18, 19, the Greenwood Giants play their first series of games. You should come out and see them.

Mrs. A. G. Lester, the president of the Woman's American Baptist Home Missionary Society, spent Saturday, Sunday and Monday in Nashville. She spent most of her time with the Pireside School: she attended four churches in the city on Sunday. Monday morning she addressed the members of the Workers' Conference and Bible Band; in the afternoon she and Miss Bushnell, Miss Eaton and Mrs. Flowers visited Roger Williams University. She left Monday night for Atlanta, where she is to be present at the anniversary of Spelman Seminary.
SACRED CONCERT.
The sacred concert given by the First Baptist choir of East Nashville was quite a success, every seat in the church being occupied. During the first of the programme a silver offering was taken up and the church realized a nice sum. The people were loud in their praises concerning the programme. At the end of the programme the choir received quite a surprise in the form of a beautiful white cake elaborately decorated, given by Mrs. Lizzie Brandsford, of 608 Webster street., and presented by Miss Eunice Griggs on a cut glass wafter bearing a silver knife and fourteen napkins to accommodate each member of the choir. The church presented a gallon of cream.
