NASHVILLE GLOBE. VOL. VI. DR. R. F. BOYD MOVES BRISKLY. DR. R. F. BOYD MOVES BRISKLY. THOUGHT HIS LIFE IN IMMEDIATE PERIL. Rev. G. B. Taylor Victim of Mistake. LAUGHABLE INCIDENT OCCURS AT NEGRO REFORM SCHOOL—MISUNDERSTANDING AS TO INTENT CAUSES THE ALARM—BOTH MEN SEE THEIR MISTAKE NOW—INSTITUTION WILL NOT BE AFFECTED—NO ONE WAS IN THE LEAST DANGER. On Thursday of this week an incident occurred in North Nashville that for a time looked to be of a very grave nature, but finally turned out to be more of an imagination than a reality. Dr. R. F. Boyd, who is the owner of a tract of land on the old Beun. Vista turnpike, which tract is occupied by a reform school conducted by Rev. G. B. Taylor, was frightened out of his wits by what he at that time thought to be an attempt on the part of Rev. Taylor to take his life. The story as related by Dr. Boyd is as follows: He says he went out to his farm in company with a lady and when he reached there he found Rev. Taylor away and that the boys on the place were tearing down a fence. When he asked them why they were doing it, they informed him that they were tearing it down to build a hog-pen. He said he asked them to stop and then sent one of the boys for Rev. Taylor. When Rev. Taylor arrived he related the same story to him and asked him why he was tearing down one fence to build another. He says they discussed the matter for a while and then Rev. Taylor ordered him off the premises. Dr. Boyd states that in view of the fact that the man who had ordered him off had in his possession a shotgun, he thought it best to go, as it was evident that Rev. Taylor was not in his best humor. He says that he started, and that he was not slow in his steps. He felt the quicker he got off the premises the quicker he would feel relieved. The incident, however, that capped the climax and which served to cause Dr. Boyd and the lady with him the most uneasiness, was that when he had gotten in his buggy and had started away, Rev. Taylor called to him to "hold up there! stop." At the same time he was coming toward Dr. Boyd with his gun in hand. Dr. Boyd stated that he would not have stopped had it not been that his horse balked right at that time and he was compelled to wait until Rev. Taylor arrived. He says Rev. Taylor went to take hold of the horse and he asked him to let the horse alone. He says he did not believe, after the excitement is all over and he has had time to reflect that Rev. Taylor meant to do him any harm, but he was frank in admitting that he could not see it that way at the time, consequently he was somewhat alarmed. In speaking of the case Dr. Boyd reviewed a misunderstanding between himself and Rev. Taylor in regard to the Orphanage, and said that he thought the incident was closed, that they had talked it over and Rev. Taylor had assured him that he desired his aid in running the farm. In reference to an article that appeared in the Globe, he said Rev. Taylor assured him that there was no truth in the article, but that the Globe was an enemy to Dr. Boyd and took that occasion to knock him. Rev. Taylor, when seen by a Globe reporter, related the story about the same as Dr. Boyd had, but said that Dr. Boyd was very abusive to him and that he asked him to leave the premises and never return. He said further that Dr. Boyd demanded that he give up the farm at once, but that he explained to him that he had planted a crop and asked him if he would not be considerate enough to allow him to gather his crop. He said that Dr. Boyd persisted in demanding that he give up the farm once, and then he told him to get off the premises and stay off. Rev. Taylor said the condition of the Orphan age had just reached the point where it appeared to be self-sustaining and that there were any number now who were anxious to get control of the institution, but that it was impossible for them to do so until they got him out of the way. It will owe remembered that this matter was aired in the County Court session at the last meeting and that quite a little flurry was had between those interested in the school. It is not believed, however, that the little episode of Wednesday will amount to anything. Both parties seemed to be anxious to move the public understand that their little difference was nothing more than a misunderstanding. It is believed that the Orphanage will go on and that the support so much needed will be given both by the County and the citizens of Nashville. DR. LEWIS WIMS HIGH HONORS SON OF MR.

WASHINGTON-OLDEST WHITE MERCHANT IN HUNTSVILLE SPEAKS OUT FOR HIM-ASSEMBLAGE CHEER THE NAME TO THE ECHO-MANY SUBJECTS DISCUSSED - PRES. BUCHANAN ADDRESSES THEM. Special to the Globe. Huntsville, Ala., April 13.—When the thirteenth annual session of the Alabama State Teacher's Association was called to present order yesterday, there were more than five hundred teachers coming from every city, county, and district in Alabama. The state has more than three thousand instructors who will be represented in the meeting. Most of the delegates reached the city last evening by special train which came in from Birmingham by way of Decatur. Among those prominent in the delegation were the presidents of some of the leading institutions in the entire state, especially is this true with respect to the high school's in Montgomery, Mobile, Seima and Decatur. The association is being royally entertained by the people of Huntsville. At the meeting last night, a ringing endorsement of Booker T. Washington was expressed by Mr. R. E. Pettus, a wholesale merchant of Huntsville and equally prominent in church cirrles, and also by the whole audience of more than 2,000 people, at the instance of Dr. James A. Bray, President of Miles Memorial College. Mr. Pettus said "I do not believe any 'of the stories circulated about Booker Washington." Continuing, he declared that he believed Booker T. Washington had too much sense, was too honest and upright to insult a woman in New York anywhere else. "When a slave, he was listed at $400; now his worth to humanity cannot be estimated, and I am one white man in Alabama who does not only believe anything derogatory to Dr. Washington, but I shall never send one cent or my money anywhere to help defend a man who stands up against such a fellow-citizen as Booker T. Washington." Dr. James A. Bray, President of Miles Memorial College, who delivered the response to the welcome addresses offered the following resolution: "We have heard with sorrow and regret the sad occurrence of the attack upon Dr. Booker T. Washington by Albert Ulrich of New York. We regard Dr. Washington as one of the foremost citizens of America, worthy of the highest confidence of the whole people of all races. Therefore, in order that our fellow citizens and fellow race members may know the best of the heart of Alabama's teachers, and their estimate of their most distinguished fellow-teacher, who is an ex-president of this association, we do declare our unswerving confidence in the integrity, nobility and honor of Dr. Booker T. Washington and assure him that we believe no aspersions cast upon his character and record by any statement of his assailants." Dr. Bray declared in his address that the Negro teacher was far in the lead of all professional and business men of his race and pointed to the tremendous responsibility resting upon them. "No factor in the solution of the race problem counts for more than the influence of the Negro teacher," said he. "This government is due the Negro teacher a great debt. He does more to promote harmonious feeling between the races than he is given credit for; he is the most self-sacrificing class of the race. They do not make money, but they teach others how to do so." In seconding the address made by Dr. Bray and the resolutions which he introduced, Prof. R. B. Hudson, of Solma, Ala., declared that it was fitting that at the opening session, before the convention got into business actively, that a ringing endorsement of Dr. Washington and an expression of confidence in him should be made by the Association. Other addresses of welcome were made by Rev. William Jones of the Methodist Episcopal Church and by Mr. S. J. B. Catre, of the Union Central Relief Association. President Walter S. Buchanan, president of the Agricultural and Mechanical College, the institution founded by the late President William H. Council delivered the closing address and called attention to the growing responsibility of the Negro teacher in the South. "I want to plead for a higher conception of our duty as teachers," said President Buchanan. "I want that more and more we shall be actuated by that same principle of devotion to humanity that actuated those white men and women from the North and South who gave their lives in the early 60's that we might enjoy the blessings of good instruction. More and more the burdens of the black man are being laid PROF. WALTER S. BUCHANAN, A. M. President of A. and M. College, Normal, Ala.; Chairman of the Program Committee and prominent Alabama teacher. upon his own shoulders, and we as teachers must be fully able to meet the responsibility." The main sessions of the convention were held in the hippodrone while round table conferences were held by the heads of high schools and colleges, by the primary and intermediate teachers and by the rural teachers in separate buildings. The importance of the teacher in developing an important and self conscious race life was emphasized by President W. C. Davis, of Birmingham, in opening the second day's session of the Alabama State Colored Teachers Associations. If Negro ideals must be taught to Negro children, it is the Negro teacher who must do it, he said; and we cannot ourselves be too conscious and too proud of our racial integrity. Teach Negro children to love their homes, to revere their parents, to aspire after their great men. The Literary Preparation of the Teacher, was the subject of an interesting paper read by Charles Winter Wood, of Tuskegee, for E. C. Roberts, who was unable to be present. The paper called attention to the limited qualifications of the Negro teacher as compared with those of other professions. George N. White, principal of Burrell Academy, Florence, Alabama, took for his subject, "Academic Training, and W. A. Bell, of Miles Memorial College, Birmingham, Ala., discussed Post Graduate Courses. A personal Library, by Mrs. J. T. Washington, of Montgomery State Normal School, and Summer Normals and School Journals, by J. R. E. Lee, head of the Academic Department of Tuskegee institute were other subjects discussed under the general head of the morning. Among the visitors who were introduced and who spoke was Henry A. Boyd of Nashville, Tenn. Round table meetings were held at three of the Negro churches in the afternoon for primary teachers, colleges and Normal Schools and for rural schools. The Round Table meeting for Primary and Kindergarten teachers was conducted by Misses I. V. Brooks and B. C. Hill, both of Birmingham. The following program was rendered at this meeting; "Does the Kindergarten Spoil the Child for Primary Grades?"; "Numbers"—Class Demonstration, Miss Pearl McGill, Huntsville; Phonetics—Class Demonstration, Miss Minnie Johnson; "Teaching and Training." Miss Minnie Tolar; "Benefits Derived from Teaching Poetry in Primary Grades," Miss O. D. Weaver, A. & M.

Olive Church UNDER AUSPICES OF ROCK CITY ACADEMY OF MEDICINE—LARGE CROWD ON HAND—GIVE RAPT ATTENTION TO EVERY WORD SAID—DR. R. H. BOYD MAKES SHORT TALK—SEES SIGNS OF IMPROVEMENT—STEREOPTICON VIEWS. Under the auspices of the Rock City Academy if Medicine and Surgery, a society composed of the Negro physicians of Davidson County, a public meeting was held Monday night for the purpose if considering the prevention of the spread of consumption among the colored citizens of Nashville. This public meeting is held annually by the Rock City Academy of Medicine and Surgery in one of the larger churches of the city, and on Monday night, the meeting in the Mt. Olive Baptist Church, on Cedar Street, was the most largely attended of any that have been held. Dr. R. F. Boyd, President of the Anti-Tuberculosis League, among the colored people and a moving spirit in these health meetings, states that the Negroes of this city are deeply interested in the subject of consumption, and these meetings which are held from time to time have been very largely attended, and as a result of them already evidences of improvement in the mode and manner of living, in the matter of food, ventilation and sanitation among the colored people has been noted. He argued that the best evidence that the people are interested is their willingness to receive instruction. Many cery interesting and instructive health talks were listened to by those present who seemed to appreciate their worth. Tuberculosis, which is so prevalent among Negroes was the subject under discussion by those who spoke, and different phases of the disease were specialized by several speakers. The chief feature of the meeting was the stereopticon views which were furnished to the City Health Department, and which were explained by Mr. Spain, Secretary of the Nashville Anti-Tuberculosis League. This lecture was greatly appreciated and as it explained to those who witnessed the views much about the sanitary conditions for the prevention of tuberculosis, on which subject Dr. J. A. Lester spoke at length. Drs. Bandy, Smith and Gray were among the other speakers with subjects explaining against the spread of consumption. Dr. C. H. Clark, pastor of the church, opened the meeting with invocation, followed by a selection by the Girl's Glee Club of Pearl High School, whose singing was an enjoyable feature throughout the evening. Dr. S. S. Caruthers, President of the Rock City Academy of Medicine and Surgery, presided. In the outset he made it clear that the purpose of this was to accomplish something for the good of all the people and every speaker made every minute of the time consumed count for something. The Negro doctors are doing a great work and the people are showing their appreciation by manifesting a desire to help in the crusade against the dreadful disease, consumption. MAKING GOOD.

Should the Over-Middle-Age Farmer Move to Town or Keep a Tight Grip on the Plow Handles? To the man who has led an active life the time comes when the physical power begins to fail, and in the attempt to adapt himself to the changing condition, the question of retiring from business is often considered. It is frequently the case that the farmer who reaches the age of sixty or seventy and finds himself unable to do all the work he once did, decides that, as he has enough to live on for the rest of his days, he will take a well-earned rest; and thinking to find greater comfort and happiness and to prolong his days, he plans to move to town. The proposed change may seem very good to him, but it is doubtful if it ever works out according to expectations. For the person who likes his work, the scenes of his labors have a deep and lasting interest. The man who of his own choice has lived and worked sixty or seventy years on the farm, is like a grand old tree—he has taken such deep root that he cannot be successfully transplanted. To his boyhood memory of "the orchard, the meadow, the deep-tangled wildwood," he has added much. Here he married and reared a fine family. Bach event of his life struggle or achievement, success or failure, joy or sorrow, is so closely associated with the familiar farm scenes that they are forever united in his memory. The wild, rough land he has straightened out and brought under cultivation, now yielding banner corn crops; the marsh he drained and reclaimed, now producing vegetables for the whole neighborhood; the creek that he straightened and the pond that was dug, now defying all water famines; the adjacent land that was purchased from time to time, serving later as wedding portions for his sons and daughters; the orchard that was planted and renewed many times—from the scene of all this activity he wishes to remove himself because he is getting old and can no longer plow corn from 5 a. m. to 6 p. m., or move away hay as fast as he used to. From his active life, familiar scenes and neighborhood friends he goes to town, where he lives in a house wedged in between others very much like it, having a 15x30 foot lawn, and a small dark back yard shut in by a City Items. Miss Ida Mai Reid, of 719 Jefferson street, who has been quite ill is slowly improving. Mrs. Hattie Craig, of 1105 Porterfield street takes this method of announcing the marriage of her niece, Miss Robbie S.

He must make new friends, new interests for himself; and at an advanced age this is difficult. He has nothing to do but eat, sleep, read, and perhaps carry in fuel. On the farm his work supplied all the physical culture he needed for good health. In his inactive life in town, with no occasion for deep breathing, no physical exercise to keep his body in good condition, but with plenty of time to think of his aliments, he quickly succumbs to disease. To aggravate the conditions, his food is not what it used to be. The costly, stale butter, case eggs, thin cream, condensed milk and canned stuff, make him think sadly of the good and nearly unlimited fresh supplies that cost almost nothing on the farm. The rosy apples that he used to carry in great heaping basketfuls from the farm cellar, he now sees sold in little measures at big prices. Instead of the young, tender beets and turnips of the farm he now ears hard and woody ones. Is it any wonder that, being more or less cooped up, with mind and body unemployed, he loses his health, becomes homesick for the old scenes, and at last realizes that his retirement was a mistake? No!—stick to the plow handles to the elast. Work and rest in moderation and according to your strength. Rent your land if you can no longer work all of it; hire help and keep your cow, your garden and your orchard. Your expenses will be no greater than they would be in town, and your food will be good, fresh, abundant, and at "cost price." You can gather the fruit from your own trees, walk on the grass when you wish, work and rest when you feel like it, and with your telephone and rural delivery you will have all the advantages of living in town with none of the drawbacks. Stay on the farm where to the last you may rest in the shade of the trees your own hands have pianted, and look long at the sky that has so often smiled on your life's work. Mrs W. M. Mrs. M.

TUSKEGEE BAND AND GLEE CLUB COMING. The Tuskegee Band and Orchestra of 50 pieces and the Glee Club of 50 voices will thrill the city of Nashville on the night of the 12th of May. They will come under the auspices of the Nashville Music Festival Association, organized by Rev. Wm. Gaines. Prof. N. Clark Smith, the captain, is the leading Negro Band Master of the world. He is a native of Chicago and has varied experience throughout the country. He has made a tour around the world at the head of band and has been recognized by the leading papers of Europe and this country. The Band he is now at the head of is the largest and best Negro Band in the world. They will make a tour of the States of Alabama, Tennessee and Georgia in May, stopping at the following cities, Montgomeryfl Birmingham and Decatur, Alabama; Nashville, Knoxville and Coatantaoga, Tennessee, and Atlanta, Georgia. They appeared in Atlanta on the tenth of last February before six thousand people, one thousand cf whom were whites. Rev. Gaines has secured the Ryman Auditorium for this concert. When questioned as to why he put all colored people in the balcony at the benefit concert, Rev. Gaines said he will see to it that the colored people have at least two-thirds of the lower floor and two-thirds of the upper floor at this concert. It was not his fault he says that the races were seated as they were at the benefit concert he managed there in March. He says a good number of whites wanted to go up stairs as well as a few colored people wanted to go on the lower floor, but he was compelled to obey orders since he secured the Auditorium at half price. But this time he will see toe it that everybody will be pleased. Rev. Gaines promises to tell more about the coming of the Band in the near future and only gives this short notice because so many are asking about it on every hand. Twenty-five Dollars in Gold will be given to the person selling the highest number of tickets over one hundred or a $25.00 trip to the next National Baptist Sunday-School Congress. Tickets will be put in the hands of ticket sellers this week and next. Rev. Gaines says people are hurrying him for tickets now before he gets them out of the press. If you wish to sell tickets and get 10 cents on the dollar for your church or lodge and compete for the $25.00. See Rev. Gaines, 42 Tennessee Street, South Nashville.

FRIDAY, APRIL 21, 1911. Strange Rumors. There are afloat in this city rumors that are hard to believe, and yet the old axiom, where there is so much smoke there is some fire, is as true today as it has ever been. These rumors that are going the rounds are stranger than fiction, and yet it may not be amiss to say a word about them at this time. During the last few months the citizens of Nashville have attempted to inaugurate some reforms that are deemed to be for the good of all the people. It is believed that these people have no other than a pure motive for attempting to do what they believe to be right and for the betterment of all, and it is strange indeed that they should be censured and held up to ridicule because they seek a higher standard of living. Whetner these rumors are true or not, the fact remains that if the Negro people of Nashville are ever to stand for much they must sooner or later draw the line on some things that have heretofore been allowed to go unnoticed. In the beginning it may cause some friction. There will doubtless be those who will oppose such efforts, but right, if persisted in, will prevail in the end and those who inaugurated the reforms and those who opposed the inauguration will be benefited alike. It would be well, however, if the people could keep in mind those individuals who oppose reforms. It does not look well for any man or woman, who is considered by the people a leader, and who is likely to be taken as a criterion by the young, to be identified with the opposition to any movement that is for the uplift of the people. Such persons bear watching and in most cases when they are weighed in the balances they will be found wanting. A Divided House. It is common for visitors to ask why are the Negroes of Nashville so far behind Negroes of other cities in business. The question makes you blush with shame when it is taken into consideration that this city is often referred to as the Athens of the South, and also when it is remembered that there are several individuals in our city who have succeeded in business beyond a doubt. But with all this we are away behind other cities. The troble is the Negroes of Nashville are divided into cliques and rings. We have any number of "knocker clubs," each with two, three or four members. We are not together on anything, and as a consequence our energy is wasted and the spirit of progressiveness is dwarfed. If the Negro business men of Nashville could be persuaded to take the advice of our esteemed fellowtownsman, the Hon. J. C. Napier, that he left with us on the eve of his departure to assume his duties as Register of the Treasury, when with tears in his eyes he admonished us to lay aside our bickerings and get together. --- NASHVILLE GLOBE, FRIDAY, APRIL 21, 1911. there would be a great change in conditions in our city. Getting together does not imply that any man should close up his business in any line and leave the field to another, but rather that one man in business should welcome competition and treat that man with due courtesy as long as he observes business ethics. Again all should unite on movements that are started for the good of all the people. We should get out of the habit of encouraging these counter efforts. If one man attempts to interest the people in a benevolent cause he should be encouraged, and that man who bobs up with a similar idea before one can be put in execution should be given to understand that his acts are not countenanced. No people can succeed that are forever warring among themselves. We are losing ground. Opportunities are slipping through our fingers every day. We are divided, and will not be able to take our place in the line of progress with other cities until we unite our forces and pull together. The True Reformers are having a hard time in their financial affairs. We still have hope that they will come out on top. President Taft showed his jelly backbone again in the Ninth Calvary episode. The Mexicans may yet bring him to his right mind. Tennessee remains in the limelight politically. It is a great game, and we might as well play it for all it is worth. The Memphis Tigers beat the Greenwood Giants four out of five, but were generous enough to give us two ties. Naughty rascals. THE leading feature in McClure's Magazine for May is an article by Josephine Tozier on Maria Montessori, "A Wonder-Worker in Education." This is the first time that the wonderful educational discoveries of Madame Montessori have been described in the English language. By this new system that is here explained children of four learn to write in six weeks without effort or strain. "The City Bank; the Federation of the Great Merchants," another of the "Masters of Capital" series, by John Moody and George Kibbe Turner, deals with the growth of Wall Street, and in particular with the rise of the City Bank. "The Girlhood of Harriet Beecher Stowe," by her son and her grandson, Charles Edward and Lyman Beecher Stowe, gives a most remarkable picture of life in the family of a New England clergyman nearly one hundred years ago. Another instalment of "Great Cases of Detective Burns" in this number of McClure's tells the story of Charley Ulrich, one of the greatest counterfeiters the world has ever known. The special fiction feature in the May number is "A Citizen of Calais," an extraordinary story of a submarine disaster by Marie Belloc Lowndes. Among the other stories are "Rodania the Magic Mare," another Syrian story by Lucille Baldwin Van Slyke, author of "The Rug of Her Fathers," etc; "Before the Railroad," by M. Gauss; "The Mighty Burke," by Theodore Dreiser; and the sixth instalment of "The Case of Richard Meynell, by Mrs. Humphry Ward. L. ALDRIDGE LEWIS (Continued from Page 1.) of this city. He was born in Greenville, Miss., in 1889. After graduating from the High School of Greenville at the age of 13 1-2 years, he entered Knoxville College at Knoxville, T-nn September, 1902. He began the study of medicine at the Indiana University School of Medicine, at Indianapolis in the fall of 1907. Dr. Lewis is well known in this city where the Lewis family have resided for several years. His father has been a mail carrier here since he transferred from Greenville, Miss. SPORT. Roger Williams Again Downs Pearl High by a Score of 16 to 3, but Loses to Fisk 6 to 2. The Roger boys again took the the Pearl High boys into camp in jig time. The game replete with wierd playing on the part of the Pearl boys, and to take this game from them was like taking candy from a baby. George Branham, who pitched for the Roger boys, again covered himself with glory by sending sixteen men to the bench by way of the strike-out route, and wielded the willow for another home-run. That all the Roger boys played a first-class article of ball there is no doubt in the minds Knights of Pythias N. A., S. A., E., A., A. and A. This organization is one of the most powerful in the country and its progress has been phenominal. The Grand Lodge of Tennessee has jurisdiction over all of the cities and counties in this state.

Fatteries—Pearl, Buford and Allison; Roger, Branham and Pullen. Monday afternoon, April 17, the greatest game in several years was pulled off between Roger and Fisk. Both teams were in the pink of condition, and many times during the game many clever stunts were pulled off by both teams, that brought the enthusiasts to their feet with yells and applause. While Fisk won by a score of 6 to 2, there was nothing displayed by Fisk players to show that they had superior ability in the finer points of the game. Roger Williams played a hard kick game throughout. With an equal break of luck, there will be something doing in base balldum if Roger can induce Fisk to meet her on the diamond again. All that can be said or done, it must be admitted that Roger Williams, in so short a time of her present existence, has put one of the greatest teams on the field that the Nashville public has ever witnessed in the history of college athletics here. If Fisk is not afraid, the Rogers boys will give her a chance to win decisively the present series.

Irregularity in attendance, how much of the daily program should be taken with industrial work; how to interest patrons in better farming; and how to teach five grades were vigorously contended with by the rural teachers and their advisers. Dr. C. V. Roman, of Nashville, Tenn., was a special attraction at the association. On Thursday night when the distinguished philosopher delivered one of his timely and characteristic addresses he hippodrome was packed, but rapt attention was given to every word he said. Dr. Roman is considered one of the scholarly men in this country. This year's session of the Association will go down in history as among the most notable ever held in the State of Alabama. The next session will be held in Selma in April, 1912. The Literary Club of St. John A. M. E. Church Sunday-School, held its regular meeting last Wednesday evening, April 19, at the residence of Miss Enon Wainwright, 913 Warren street. A very interesting program was rendered. Much important business was transacted. After the transaction of business, a tempting collation was served. The next meeting will be held with Mrs. Jos. W. Usphaw, of 922 Jackson street on May 10h. THE LORD'S SUPPER THE RIGHT VESSELS USED TO COMMEMORATE IT ANY Congregation can have its wants supplied by securing one of our Guardruple-Plated Table Silverware Communion Sets at moderate prices and on reasonable terms. A set consists of one flagon, two goblets and two bread plates. If the church wants more goblets or plates, they can be furnished at an additional cost. The commemoration of the Lord's Supper is a very sacred ordinance. The custom for centuries has been to have special vessels for this occasion. Thus a communion set becomes an important part of this service. Many churches have used the old style communion set while others use an individual set. Both are appropriate and well-recommended. One is no reflection upon the other. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONCERNING PRICES AND TERMS, WRITE TO THE 523 Second Avenue, North, NASHVILLE, TENN. Madam Alvin Ray Honoree.

The Piano and Voice Recital by the young ladies of the Academy and Industrial School of the Immaculate Mother, under the direction of Miss Mayre J. Williams, Monday evening was a decided success in every way. The choruses were gay and full of soft-flowing melody. The story in "There little girl don't cry" was beautifully and impressively brought and by Misses Tolsom, Brooks and Ashworth, who sang the soprano obligato to the humming accompaniment of the other voices and piano.

The Annual Meeting of the Alumni Association of Meharry Medical College, will be held Monday, the 24th of this month. Indications point to a large attendance this year, as many of the members will avail-themselves of the opportunity to visit the institution this year to inspect the new hospital. On Monday night, the annual address will be delivered on the subject, "The Divorce Evil." Dr. Thaddenus Warsaw Stephens, who will address the Alumni of Mehary Medical College this year is an interesting character. He was born in 1876 at Smith Paul Valley, Indian Territory and taken when four years old by the deseradoes into the mountains of Indian Territory making his home in the caves, hollow logs, roaring the woods, running cattle, until he was wounded in a battle at Sarghum Flat, Chickasaw Nation. Being unable to keep up with the others, he was run into what is known as Adingtons Bend, on Red river and from there to Boye, Texas, thence to Pilot Point, Texas, where he was dropped. As soon as he was able to travel, he went to the Pan Handle, following the Cow Boys and Texas Rangers, remaining with them for 9 or 10 months, when his health would no longer allow him to continue his fight. At Greenville, Texas, at fourteen years ago, where he secured a position as dish washer at the Commercial Hotel, he learned his first letters from a Webster's Blue Back Speller. He came to Central, Tennessee College this city in October, 1891, and from there to Meharry, finishing the medical course in 1901. From that time, he has been actively engaged in the practice of his profession. Dr. T. H. Elliott, president of the Association and Dr. J. B. Singleton, the secretary are leaving no stone unturned to make it comfortable for all who attend the meeting. NASHVILLE GLOBE, FRIDAY, APRIL 21, 1911. The House of Fine Clothes CLASSY CLOTHES SHOP NEW YORK NASHVILLE - MONTGOMERY The House of Low Prices Dan Robinson's Circus Dan Robinson's Circus Big Amusement Company is Emerging from Its Shell and Preparing for a Season of Activity—Ring Stock and Actors Limbering Up. When a certain well-known amusement promoter came to Nashville several months ago he soon realized that at last he had found an ideal location for the winter quarters of one of the largest amusement corporations in the world, and of the kind that is most popular, namely, the cricus. Dan Robinson has been all over the world, and his shows, like the sailor's sweethearts, have been in every clime, and the statement of Mr. Robinson that he thinks he has found in his winter quarters at Cumberland Park all that he could akh for, and all that his decision was made to come to Nashville, after all kinds of inducements were made him by dozens of other cities that claimed as their advantage what Nashville really has in the way of climatic condition and every other inducement that a prosperous city could offer, will be good reading. And that is why Dan Robinson brought his big circus to Nashville, and installed a whole city within itself within the spacious limits of Cumberland Park, where the aggregation has been since early in December. To the uninitiated, a circus is that great big fascinating something that makes its appearance with the flowers and butterflies and adds to the joy of the spring and summer months with its music and street parade and its clowns. To the great majority who have never had a peep behind the scenes, the circus is a vague sort of big canvas-covered fairyland, for which the groundwup insist they no longer care, but who feel differently when the parade starts and the band begins to play, and who hunt up some little tot and rush off to show to the youngster the elephants and other sights. Busy Times at 'Circusville.' A visit to "Circusville' out at Cumberland Park would be especially interesting. One of the first sights that would be found in the general business offices of Robinson's shows, where a large force of clerical assistants are busier than the average office man in the wholesale district, and who look after the auditing department of the institution. The offices are located near the entrance to the park, in close proximity to the State Fair offices. Dan Robinson, the manager, is in one department, and H. E. Van Gorder, who is treasurer and auditor of the company, is in charge of the auditing and accounting, and has general supervision of the office force. A Real Menagerie. A harness shop that would compare favorably with some of the larger ones of its kind in the wholesale district occupies a large portion of one of the buildings, the first floor of which is turned into a menagerie, and were it not for the iron bars one would need but little imagination to convince himself that he had been transported to the wilds of Africa. Large cages have been built completely around the walls of the big building, and there the animals are comfortably quartered. In the center of the building is a huge steel arena, in which the animals are training during the winter. A large number of trained animals, as well as untamed ones, have been kept there all winter, and within the next few days two elephants and a dozen or more lions, leopards and other untamed animals will be shipped direct to Mr. Robinson in Nashville. Turning Loose Coin. And what does it all mean to Nashville? From $2,500 to $3,000 per week is expended by the company in Nashville. It akes forty bushels of oats, two tons of hay and four hundred pounds of bran every day for the live stock, and the animals alone consume 300 pounds of meat daily. From 450 to 500 persons are connected with the enterprise, and a majority of them stay at winter quarters throughout the season not spent on the road. ALLENSVILLE (KY.) NOTES.
