MR.. A. J. RoHELIA IN TEXAS.

Some time ago Nashville babe good
bye to one of it's oldest and most promi-
nent citizens; but this is not expected
to be a last farewell, as Mr.. Rohelia
has resided in this city for a number
of years. He was a very skilled dairy
man and had been employed at Fisk
University in this particular work for
number Of years, One of the strong
est testimonials taken with him on his
trip to Texas was given by Mr.. Irwin V.
Cobleigh, the present Treasurer of
Fisk University. A recent letter from
the party written from New Orleans
states that they reached the Crescent
City and found a hearty reception.
Mr.. Rohelia is veteran of the Civil
War, having joined the Federal army
in 1868. After service of about three
weeks and three days, he was promoted
to the position of orderly sergeant.
which rank he held with distinction
for fourteen months and seventeen
days. After leaving the army, he was
employed on George Wrights planta-
ton on the Mississippi River, near the
Big Bye Peer He followed this up
for some time and then served as dep
uty sheriff under w. E. Long, then he
was elected as coroner, holding this
position for two years. Finally he
moved to Greenville, Miss, and en-
gagged in the employ of a large oil mill
for Mr.. Geo. w, Billinger giving three
years service with him. He was after
ward appointed on the police force of
that city, where he served for nine
years five months and fourteen days.

BACCALAUREATE SERMON AT
HOPKINSVILLE, Ky.

The annual sermon of M. and T. Col
lege was the occasion for a large con
gregation at the Union Gospel Taber-
nacle in Hopkinsville, KY, last Sun
day. Rev. G. H. Clark, D. D., one of
the most popular former Kentuckians,
and son Of Hopkinsville, for the
third time preached the annual SER
mon. All the protestant churches of
the city out Of respect for the college
and DR.. Clark closed their houses of
worship and assembled at the Taber-
nacle to hear DR.. Clark. These occa-
sions have become quite pronounced,
as the college stands high in the COM
munity. Prof. Frazier, the President,
is one of the foremost educators of the
state OF Kentucky, and one of the best,
II not the best, organizers within the
Baptist denomination. The music
rendered by his chorus Sunday morn
ing and afternoon was said to be the
best ever heard in Hopkinsville. Miss
Johnella Frazier, daughter of the
President, and only sixth grade pu-
pill, presided at the piano. The citi-
zens made a donation of $50 to the
college.

TAFT In The CITY

Definite information has been re-
ceived that Hon. VIM. Howard Taft
Secretary of War, and the most talked
of candidate for the Republican nom
inee for President, will speak at Fisk
University to-day Whether Mr..
Taft will speak in the morning or aft
ernoon will depend upon his previous
engagements for the city. The au-
thorities of Fisk have extended a gen
eral invitation to all of the people of
the city to be present and hear the
distinguished gentleman, and it is
more than probable that the invita-
ton will be accepted by many of
Nashvilless citizens.

Mr. ROhelia was afterwards elected
