First Baptist Sunday Schools Ami
versary Celebration.
The seventy-first anniversary of the
First Baptist Sunday School was celebrat-
ed last night in the presence of the larg-
est Number of people that has assembled
in the church for some time. This is due
to the pride taken by members of the
church in this department of church work
Besides the song service the exercises
consisted of reports from the officers of
the school and an address by the pastor,
Rev. John ID. Jordan. The music was es-
pecially arranged and the programme rem
dered so acceptably that the school and
those in charge made a favorable impress
sion in the beginning. The anthem ''Praise
Ye the Lord" adapted to the music of
Gounod's march "Romaine," was well rem
dered, though much more difficult than
the music usually heard in Sunday
schools, The musical part of the exer-
clses was under the direction of the organ
list. Mrs. +. s. Gustin.
About half the pews I'm the church were
reserved for the school, which assembled
in the regular quarters while the ycongre-
cation gathered. The seats set aside for
visitors were soon taken up. however, the
usners finding II impossible to seat all.

Police Court Building May Be Ac-

The near completion of the Police Court
building seems to have added some en-
chantment to the view, or at least the
building is more satisfactory now to all
concerned than formerly. 1t may be now
there will be no objection to the size of the
court room, which, for a time, was consid-
cred too small.
The authorities are well pleased with the
spacious guard house and the internal ar
rangement of cells. There is every conve-

likely be no great rush on the part of ne
groes to get there. Owing to its being
nearly completed, it may be it will be

AS the season advances, the skill of the

There are several pretenders making a
bluff at playing ball in the big league
who ought to be relegated to avocations
more in harmony with their abilities.
There were but few men that left the
baseball ranks to go into the ranks of

The Southern Militia.
(From the Memphis Commercial

(From the Memphis Commercial Appeal)
On the whole, we must admit that whatever
discrimination there has been against Southern
troops is our own fault. We have been too parsi-
monious in dealing with our soldier bows, and
we have degraded and destroyed the martial
spirit and integrity of militia organizations BY
permitting politics to slip in and dominate The
lesson of the last should not be lost Every
Southern State should provide itself with an
effective militia. The companies now in camp
will soon be released and sent home, and as soon
they arrive the task OF organizing the militia
should begin. Let it not be said, should hos
tilities again break out that the Southern troops,
the finest material for soldier-making in the
world, unprepared and useless, and their Off
