and was SO favOrably impressed by
the skillful and very efficient treat
ment received at the hands Of doctors
and nurses that he has since been
periodical visitor.
The day after the directress had
concluded that nothing more could be
done from within. and that the piano
must go, General Forrest called, and
during the visit asked, How are you
getting along with the piano." He
was told the state of affairs, on hear
ing which he expressed regret and
sympathy. He asked that no step be
taken for two days. AT the end or
that time, he called again, and told
Mrs. Fleetwood to give herself no
further worry, that the 5000 should
not be lost, and that the piano should
not leave the Home; 81 have decided

Now that is just what he has done,
and in addition he presented a large
framed portrait of himself to be hung
over the piano.
The whole matter had been kept a
secret from the nurses until the eve
ming of the 9th inst, when the
directress stated the above facts to
the assembled nurses, unveiled the
picture and had it placed upon the
wall amid hand clappings and general
rejoicinfSs, after which all partoOk
of ice cream and cake sent for the
occasion with the compliments OF
General Forrest.
Needless to say that for all these
kindnesses the directress and nurses
are deeply grateful and offer the
General a hearty vote of thanks. The

MISS MORTON's DEMISE.

Miss Mary Virginia Morton, died
Tuesday June 28th, at a. NJ, at her
residence, 1880 Florida avenue north
west. She was born in the District
Of Columbia, November 10, 1868, and
attended the public schools, and grad
uated from the High and Normal
Schools. She was appointed a teacher
in 1889, AID taught in various school
buildings in this city until her de-
mise. She was Of a very amiable and
IovabIe disposition, and kind hearted
TO her pupils. She was highly esteem
ed by the superintendent and teach
ers. with whom she came in contact.
Her funeral was held in the Vermont
Avenue Baptist Church, of which she
was a member Rev. George W. Lee,
D. D.. oficiated, assisted by Rev. ]. K.
Garner, D. D., of Plymouth Congrs-
gationaI Church, Rev. B. w. Johnston,

Church. and Rev. j. Anderson Taylor,

monthly instalments. 1t was placed
in the reception room, to the great
pleasure of the nurses.
Before the cost had been met, the
source of revenue was cut off, and an
effort was made to meet the payments
by voluntary contributions among the
officials and nurses ia the institution
Though at first cheerfully and
promptly met, later it became difficult
of collection, and when it was known
that the resignation of the directress
was slated for a date in the near
future, it was evident that the pay
ments could not be finished before
that time. although there was remain
ing a balance of but s48. 1t was ap-
parent that the loss of $202 already
paid and the piano itself was newt

General Henry Forrest had been
patient in the surgical ward in 1909,
The colored American., 1904-07-23

Forrest ever again be a patient at
Freedmen's Hospital he would risk
being killed by over attention.
The above item was sent from
the nurses department of FrSedmen's
Hospital, and the writer knowing Mr..
Forests well known disposition to
help the poor and lowly does not
hesitate to approve what has been
said about his generosity.
A few years ago a colored Odd
Fellow stricken with heart disease,
dropped dead at the Pennsylvania
Station. He was a stranger in the
city, without friends, and his body
was taken to the morgue. Mr.. Forrest
and a number of railroad men were
in the station at lunch, when they
were told that a colOred man haO
dropped dead on the outside. The
other men in the party did not inter
est themselves in the matter, but Mr..
Forrest hunted up the local leaders
in Odd Fellow circles and succeeded in
finding Mr.. David Warner of the Dis
trict Building, who assisted Mr.. For
rest in seeing that the body was
shipped to Durham, N. c., where it
was received by his relatives ana
friends, and buried.
On another occasion a poor colored
woman who was accompanying the
dead body of her husband to some
point in the south, had the misfortune
to lose her pocketbook, or to have
it taken from her, in the station, and
was going around among the strangers
begging for money enough to pay her
way to accompany the body. After
many efforts on her part she succeed
ed in raising the small sum of ten
cents. But when Mr.. FORESTS atten-
ton was called to her, he went to the
ticket office and paid $3.50 for a
ticket which took her to her destfna-
tion.
Those of us who know of General
Forrest can testify to his christian
charity and generosity, and we are
not surprised that the reception room
of the nurses at Freedmen's Hospital
will in the future be redOlent with
strains of sweet music through the
generosity of our good friend.
The colored American., 1904-07-23

When the present directress of
nurses at Freedmen's Hospital took
charge, in 1901, she found in the
Home" a very dilapidated and tune
less instrument, upon which the
nurses were dependent for their sole
indoor amusement
Finding that there was a source of
income from which the rental of this
piano was paid, she thought that the
money had better be applied toward
the purchase of a better instrument.
She accordingly contracted for a
good piano for $3.50, to be paid for in

MCCLELLAN is MAKING
A GOOD MAYOR.

Rev. J. A. Smith Says Opponents Adj
init His Ability.
Mayor Mcclellan is making m I'M
usually good mayor of New York." said
Rev. J. A. Smith, who has spent several
months i'll the metropolis.
when he was elected by the Tam
many forces, every one thought it
meant a wide-open town. but such is
not the case. He is making all live
strictly up to the law. and while it is
impossible to close all the illegally open
places, yet he is doing much in that
direction. Even his bitterest opponents
admit that he is making a good mayor.
ut is generally understood" contin-
ued Mr.. Smith, that Mr.. Mcclellan
has his eye on higher positions, and
that he hopes to some day be President.
With this object in view 1t is certain
that his administration as mayor will
be a clean and upright one. as he will
take care to do nothing which might
be used against him in a future cam
paign."
Mr.. Smith also spoke Interestingly of
the underground railways which are
being pushed through all parts of the
city. While he was there engaged in
his studies the tunnel from Jersey City
to New York. under the East River,
was completed. The first trip was
made through II my Mayor Mcclellan
and a few other high city officials.

KEPT FARMING BACK.
Progress of the Planting in Various
Sections Reported.

Progress of the Planting in Various
Sections Reported.
Washington. April 12.-The Weather
Bureaus weekly summary of crop
conditions Is as follows;
AS a whole the weather conditions
during the week ending April II were
not favorable for farming operations
in the principal agricultural districts
east of the Rocky mountains, being
unseasonahly cold in the central val
leys and Southern states, with too
much moisture over the Middle Gulf
states and large part of the central
valleys.
East of the Mississippi river no corn
has been planted northward of Ten
nessee and North Carolina, but a
large part of the crop has been plant
ed in the last named state and this
work is well advanced throughout the
Gulf states.
Cotton planting has been interrupted
by cold, wet weather in the central
portion of the cotton belt but has
progressed favorably in the southern
portions of the eastern and western
sections. The early planted is up to
satisfactory stands in the southern
portions of Georgia, Alabama and
Louisiana and in Texas, about three
fourths of the crop having been plant
ed in the southwestern and central
counties of the last, named state.

THE NEWS OF STATESBORO.

Statesboro, Ca, April 12.-There are
twenty-one contractors. representing
as many different firms, here to-day
bidding on the contract for putting in
the electric light and waterworks plant
for the city. Besides these, seven other
bids were sent in. making thirty in
all. The award will probably be an
nounced tomorrow.
Judge Parker has developed great
strength in Bulloch within the past
week. The few Parker buttons that
could be obtained have been eagerly
sought, and there is talk of a club be-
ing organized. There does not appear
to be much necessity for it, because
Parker will have scarcely any oppo-
sition. There are only a very few
avowed Hearst men to be found. 1t is
quite probable that Bulloch will send
Parker-instructed delegation to the
state convention.
The friends of Col. ]. A. Brannen are
confident of either securing the con-
gressional nomination for him or of
making a tie in the convention. They
are claiming Bulloch, Emanuel, Screw
en-, Tattnan, and probably Burke and
Bryan. Col. Lester has not visited the
county but his friends are looking for
him soon.

NATURES WAYS.
HOW TO TURN A STRAIGHT FURROW

~ farmer is known by his burrows
Aa9EI as "the carpenter is known by
@HNB his chips" II takes a firm
eJS4 hand and a true eye to turn a
straight furrow. No wonder the
farmer wears out, i'll spite of exercise and
fresh air. One days work on the farm
would tire many a trained athlete. The
farmer works the hardest of all, but ex-
ercise does not kill any one. Any sick
ness which occurs i'll the farmhouse Is
usually due to bad drainage, illy-venti-
lated rooms and poor nourishment in
the food. DR.. Pierce, before he founded
the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Insti-
tute, at Buffalo, N. Y, practiced extern
sively in farming districts, and found
that the ills which occurred we're often
due to greasy foods, fried cakes and
vegetables fried perks and steaks, with
too much grease, and many indigestible
things consumed, very often without
proper care in eating slowly. AS con-
sequence indigestion follows, and after
that, as the blood does not get the proper
nourishment from the food eaten, the
person becomes sick. Plants live by
direct absorption of vitalizing elements
taken in through their roots and leaves.
In almost the same way man lives by
absorbing the vitalizing elements taken
from the food in the stomach and throw
ing it into the blood stream. Why does
not the farmer treat his own body as he
treats the land he cultivates? He puts
back in phosphates what he takes out in
crops, or otherwise the land would not
nourish him. The farmer should put
back into his body the vital elements
exhausted by labor. If he does not he
will soon complain of poor health. In
the same way that the earth yields food
for the farmer, so does it provide rene
dies for human ills. Thousands of farm
ers throughout the farming districts of
the United States know the value of DR..
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. It
is Natures most valuable and health
giving agent, made without the use of
alcohol. 1t is a concentration of NATURES
vitality as found in the fields and woods.
The great value of DR.. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery is its vitalizing
power. 1t gives strength to the stom-
ach, life to the lungs purity to the blood
1t supplies nature with the substances
by which she builds up the body. UJust
as the farmer supplies vitalizers to en-
rich his fields, so does the stomach
need to be replenished and stimulated
