MEHARRY NOTES.

Again the stealthy, unwelcome mes
senger has visited us and has taken
away from our midst one of our
brightest and most hopeful
After a lingering illness of seven
days consequent upon an operation
for appendicitis, Mr. ]. w. Hastings,
of Pulaski, Tenn, and member of
the senior medical class, departed
this life December 8th amid the tears
of loved ones. During the operation
it was seen that his recovery, if such
there should be, would be miracu-
lous one. The vermiform appendix
after being most skillfully removed
was examined and found to gangre-
nous to a great degree; knowing the
attending danger, no pains were
spared by both surgeon and nurses to
offset if possible what even then ap-
peared to be an inevitable end, During
his confinement the untiring faithful
ness of his nurses, classmates and
friends was the subject of much COM
ment. Hoping against fate, every
precaution was taken for his much
desired recovery, but the damage
had been done and with that salts
factory expression upon his face
seen only in the Saviour's truly elect
ed he slept to wake no more.
Mr.. Hastings matriculated in Me-
harry Medical College IN the fall of
1903 and would have finished with
the class of 1907, but circumstances
forced him to remain out of school
for two years after completing his
Junior year. He entered school this
scholastic year and would have fin
ished with the class Of '09 but for
the unexpected. The class upon
learning of his death rendered his
body a beautiful floral wreath. The
obsequies were held at the Meharry
Auditorium and BETTING addresses
were made by Drs. G. W. Hubbard
Jno. Kumler and R. F. Boyd, after
which set of resolutions were read
drawn up by a specially appointed
committee of the senior medical class
as follows:
Whereas, The Almighty God in His
wise providence has seen fit to take
from our midst Mr.. ]. W. Hastings
who was member Of the senior

A CONDITION THAT is PREVA-
LENT AMONG A LARGE NUM-
Der OF GLOBE READERS.
Are You One of Them?

There are quite number of read
ers of the Nashville Globe who have
not paid their subscription during
1908, in fact, some of them have read
the Globe every issue with possibly
a few exceptions since it first ap-
peared on the horizon as a newspa-
per, and yet they have never paid one
years subscription OF course, it
was not because they did not intend
to pay-many of them wanted to pay,
quite a number of them will pay, but
simply because we have not sent
collector with bill to them they have
put the matter off until this good day.
we believe the moment they see this
matter in the paper they will send in
their money We hope they will not
change their mind before they can
get to the postoffice or before they
can write and mail us a check for
their subscription. If you don't know
how much it is, send us something.
The clerk will credit your account
with whatever amount is received
at the office. A newspaper like the
Globe cannot run without money.

Many letters were received without
any address; some with special de-
livery stamps, but worst of all, bad
writing by good and bad writer's
which could not be deciphered or
passed upon
Postmaster Monfort of Cincinnati
suggested to DR.. Boone that if he
could impress upon the $4,000 pupils
in public schools the great impor-
lance of carefully addressing letters,
this information could be carried by
them to their parents and others, and
would be a great public service, both
to the government and the people.
DR.. Boone responded promptly and eff
fectively. He called his 900 teachers
together and read them the letter,
and instructed them to give fifteen
minutes time each week to special
instruction on the question of ad-
dressing mail.
If these instructions could be given
in all the schools of the country and
the children impressed with the inn
portance of special care, this process
of education would bring marvellous
results 70 the country
cat the postoffice in Nashville we
average in pieces of mail delivered
by carriers, and through the general
delivery, some 10000 pieces daily, and
we dispatch daily about 100000
pieces, hence at glance the necess-
ity can be seen of addressing letters
giving full name of adj
dresses, postoffice, county and state;
if a city, street and number, and on
upper left hand corner, writing name
and address of sender, to insure re-
turn of letter if same cannot be de-
livered, the postage stamp always to
be placed on the right hand corner of
the envelope.

to illustrate properly addressed let

youth are generally lasting.

is addressing letters in
