country He stands in a class by
himself as the giant apostle of Indus

wisdom have been heard in every i'm

many places beyond the sea. He is

Nowhere is DR.. Washington more

He believes that our people should

Love For Trees.
Savannah Press

The United States government is
about to spend $4,000 on one tree
The tree in question is the celebrated
Crittenden oak, which stands in the
Botanical Garden in Washington
city, and which will have 20 be re-
moved to make way for the statue OF
General Grant, which it is proposed to
erect in the gardens. John J. Critten-
den, while a senator from Kentucky
some years before the war, brought q
small oak sapling from Kentucky and
gave it to William w. Smith, super
intendent of the gardens, a position be
still holds. Mr.. Smith planted the oak
and has watched it grow for about
half a century. until it has developed
into a spreading tree. The love the
old man has for this tree is so sincere
and deep that when he talks of its
having to be removed his voice grows
husky and his eyes fill
Workmen are already engaged in
eXcayating for the base of the mOnu-
ment The tree will hardly be re-
moved until fall though Mr.. Smith
says it may be transferred across the
street to the terrace in front of the
capitol this spring. It will be an ex-
pensive task, as a great amount OF
earth will have to be removed with
the tree. Mr.. Smith is not hopeful
of success. He believes his beloved
tree will die in its new earth

PEARL VS. BURRELL.

Special to The Nashville Globe,
Pearl High School defeated Burrell
Academy Thanksgiving Day in Flor
ence, Ala, by the score of 20 to IL.
The game was fast, snappy one, and
the boys from Nashville showed that
they we're the masters of the situa-
tion at all times. Their playing was
of that high standard that has won for
them all season. Their long end runs
and forward passes could not be
stopped, and when they got to going
they ran away with the game. Bur
rell has strong team, but they could
not stop Pearl. Her backs would rip
through for long gains, while the ends
had no trouble in receiving the for
ward pass. Prof. Cameron has a great
team, and too much cannot be said
about the boys. They have gone
through the season with a grand rec
ord-one that any team would be
proud of, and it is not saying too
much when they are called the cham
pion prep. team of the state. And
when it is remembered that they are
all young and have yet to begin their
college work, one can see nothing but
stars for some university The team
arrived Friday in good spirits ant
bright prospects for next season.

SOLDIERS MOVE.

Union City, Tenn, November 25.--
The order directing and ordering the
soldiers from Fort Rankin last night
to proceed to Lake County was after
wards countermanded, and thirty SOL
diers from here were sent to Lake
County on a special train last night,
leaving here about o'clock They, to-
gether with another company of sol
diers ordered by the Governor from
Memphis, arrived at the scene of the
hanging about II o'clock, but too late
to save the three negroes, who had
been hung and shot some time before
the arrival of the soldiers. Attorney
General Caldwell and Judge Jones
state they cannot tell what action they
will or can take in the affair at this
time, but that all legal and necessary
steps to bring the guilty parties to
justice will be aiken.

PEOPLE OUTRAGED.

The people of Tiptonville are much
wrought up over the affair, and are
assisting the officers and soldiers in
ferreting out the members of the mob.
Every law-abiding citizen expresses
indignation over the affair and openly
declares that the community has been
outraged.
1t is said that a majority of the
mob members came from District No.
4.
After the mob left town last even
ing, a roll was made of citizens who
were in the city and who agreed not
to lend assistance to the work of the
mob. This was done in order to as
certain whether any of the town folks
were parties to the lynching.

with an occasional buck through the
line for long gains. The boys from
Shelbyville were out-classed in every
department of the game and only at
times were they able to show anything
like football form. They had some
good material on hand but did not use
it to advantage. The teams were equal
ly matched in weight but Pearl had no
trouble whatever in going through the
line or around the end. They no
doubt have one of the fastest teams
seen in action this season. They have
everything needed for a good team
and the way they use the forward pass
is indeed good We must say for them
that they have the best prep team in
the state and several members will
make stars where they enter college.
There was quite good crowd out to
see the game and the songs and cheers
from the High School supporters made
the boys go at a great clip for this
being their last game at home, they
wanted to show that they could play
the game. Duncan and Upshaw made
substantial gains on well executed for
ward passes.

Gov. Patterson had got into commu-

City and instructed him to secure a.
special train and go at once with a de-

o'clock in the morning.
Previous, however, to this order
Sheriff Haines had notified Maj. Phil

of the situation, and he started at IL
