The first annual exhibition of the
Tennessee Colored Fair Association is
now going on at Greenwood Park.
The attendance, considering the fact
that the fair is a venture into fields
hitherto untried by the Negroes of
Nashville and Davidson County. is ex-
cellent and gives promise of improve
ment as the week progresses.
The opening day of the fair was
designated as Nashville and David
son County Day On Tuesday a pa
rade, which formed on Cedar street.
marched through the principal bust
ness streets of the city and later pro-
ceeded to Greenwood Park. The pa
rade was a very creditable affair. The
officers of the association, members
OF the women's auxiliary. ComDanv
G, detachment of police and numer.
Gus citizens were in the long line.
The association had offered a prize
Tor the best decorated vehicle that
should enter the parade. The prize
went to Mrs. George O. Boyd. Jr
The real opening of the Fair occur
red in the afternoon when Governor
Patterson, Judge VIM Pollard. Sher-
if Borum and Mayor James S. Brown
were present and delivered addresses
in behalf of the respective parts of
the local and state government of
which they are representatives. The
special carriage containing the Gov
ernor and the other guests was met
by the Marshal of the Day and Cen
eral Manager Of the Fair, Mr.. J. B.
Bosley. He was assisted bv four aides
These with Company G formed a
special escort and the distinguished
guests were escorted to the speakers
stand.

address you upon this important occa-
sion, ! am deeply impressed with the
tremendous responsibility of the hour.
For fourteen consecutive years you
have required me to come before you
to deliye what is called the annual
address O., the president of your Con
vention and for as many years you
have, yith unanimity hitherto un-.
known to deliberate bodTes, accepted
in the most part these addresses as an
outline of the policy to be pursued by
the Conventions and, may add, that
with the same unanimity of action
you have seen fit to elect me to pre-
side over the deliberations of this
great Convention | would show my
self less than human if did not feel,
yea, express my very high appreciation
of the honors conferred and confidence
expressed by such action, and, yet,
must say that | feel myself very un-
worthy of the many notable distinc-
tions which you have thrust upon me.
ITO attempt to pilot an organization
like the National Baptist Convention,
which is the most conspicuous repre-
sentative of the religious life of the
ten million Negroes in this country, is
a very great task, and one which re-
quires more than human strength and
wisdom to direct
Our meeting here to-day is an evi-
dence that an unerring Providence
watches over us, and often overrules
our plans and purposes. When we
closed the meeting one year ago it was
our most sanguine hope that this ses-
sion of the Convention would be held
in the great metropolis of our country
New York City-but unforeseen con-
ditions arose which made it necessary
to bring the meeting to this beautiful
city, situated almost in the center of
the great state of Kentucky and in
the very heart of the famous blue
grass region about eleven hundred feet
above the sea level, where we can en-
Joy for a few days the pure atmos-
phere and genuine hospitality of the
old Kentucky Home
"I congratulate you, and, indeed, our
race upon the fact that we have given
more attention to the religious life of
our people than any other phase of
their life. It is sometimes said that
the Negro is too religious and that he
has given too much time and money
to religious organizations, but, in my
opinion, no better foundation could
have been laid for the future of the
race than that which has been laid
Christianity. Nor has the task been
an easy one; for while the ministers of
the Gospel have been proclaiming
aloud to the neople to Seek We first
the kingdom of Cod the politician and
many of the professional men of the
race have endeavored to lead the peo-
ple into the notion of making Chris
tianity a side issue, to be used only
at convenient seasons. 7 hone YOU do
not underestimate your success. and
the wonderful influence YOU have over
the Deonle; and since the foundation
has been well and properly laid that
YOU will exercise your great influence
in building thereon.

Sewer Work Progresses.

Messrs. Venske & Taylor, the con-
tractors on the sewer job for the City
of Dallas, are driving the work for
ward as rapidly as possible In all
streets in which the mains Of the new
system are to be laid. The workmen
are extending the bitches upward
through the streets Of the city from
the outlet 10 the Uglow hopyard as
rapidly as possible. The contractors
expect to be able to have the system
easily within the time spec
flied 10 the contract with the city.

Celebrate Golden Wedding.

Mr.. and Mrs. Andrew Siefarth were
entertained at dinner at the home of
their son-in-law, H. G. Campbell,
Wednesday, the occasion being their
flftieth wedding anniversary. Only
few immediate relatives were present
at this celebration. They were the
recipients of many beautiful and
useful presents. Mr.. and Mrs.
Siefarth were married near Silverton
in 1858. They spent several years in
Spring Valley and then moved to
their farm near Oakdale, where they
made their home until short time
ago, when they came to this city to
reside. Mrs. Siefarth's maiden name
was Polly Bowen. She has two sisters
and three brothers living. Mr.. Sic
farth has but few blood relations
living. Both Mr. and Mrs. Siefarth
belong to the sturdy old pioneer stock
and were identified with much Of the
early history of Oregon.

Public School Has "'Bank. u

A miniature bank with regulation
cashiers and teller's windows and all
other necessary equipment for bank
ing on a small scale, has been installed
in the class room of the ninth grade
of the public school, for use in the
instruction of classes in book keeping 6
and business methods. The equip
ment is exactly like that used in the
majority of the regular business col
leges Of this state and the young peo-
pie in the business classes are taking
a hearty and active interest in the
conduct of their model bank. 1t will
prove a most practical device for
training in correct methods of busi-
ness. At present, Principal Hill is
acting as cashier and teller but later
on when the "business" is fully estab-
lished it will be placed entirely in the
hands of the pupils.

Rains Prove Beneficial.

After three months Of practically
rainless weather, October has sud
denly come to the front and in three
days rainstorm has more than made
up for the deficiency and has made
record of the heaviest rainfall since
January 1907. The storm was general
throughout the Willamette Valley
and will be of inestimable benefit to
the farmers of this region, making
possible the Fall blowing and sowing
that has been so long delayed on
account of the dryness of the soil.
Although considerable damage was
done by the high winds of Monday
and Tuesday nights, the injuries will
be more than counter-balanced by the
benefits derived from the rain.

INSTITUTE A SUCCESS
Teachers and Instructors Are Highly
Pleased With Work Accomplished
In Present Session.

The Polk County Teachers Institute
opened Wednesday morning with a
large attendance, nearly 100 teachers
being registered the first day. All of
the instructors are present and the
work is progressing in the best
possible manner.
The Institute is being conducted
under the department system as was
the one held by uperintendent @. L.
Starr two years ago. Both the instruc-
tors and the teachers attending are
highly pleased with the many advan-
tages of this system and are anxious
that it should be used entirely in
future institutes.
The interest shown by the teachers
in the work both of the department
sessions and the general sessions is
exceedingly good. Especially attrac-
tive is the work in the latter division
of the program. During the general
sessions Wednesday, Professor Fl. D.
Sheldon, of the University of Oregon,
delivered addresses on 'The Diseases
of Memory" and "What the Schools
Are Doing For America" In the
general session of the forenoon an
interesting and practical address on
School Libraries" was given by Miss
Cornelia Marvin. secretary of the Ore
gon Library Commission, and in the
afternoon, President E. D. Ressler, of
the Monmouth Normal School, spoke
on Service and Happiness.
The reception given the visiting
teachers by the teachers of the Dallas
public school in the Courthouse, We'd
nesday evening, was largely attended
and proved most enjoyable affair. A
good musical and literary program
was rendered, after which the evening
was spent in a pleasant social manner.
Light refreshments were served.
The Institute will be brought to a
close this evening. Among the many
features of interest and value in the
program of this last days work, will
be addresses at the general sessions,
by J. M. Powers, superintendent of the
Salem schools Professor L. R. Traver,
of Monmouth Superintendent r. F.
Robinson, OF Multnomah county, and
Superintendent HI. @. Seymour.

Another Taft Club Organized.

Chas. E. Hicks, editor Of Indepen-
dence Enterprise, who was In Salem,
Monday, reports that the Republicans
of Independence held a rousing meet
ing Friday night and organized Taft
Sherman club with a large member
ship. He says that already they are
looking for some Of the good stumpers
of the state, among them r. r. Butler,
of Condor, who will be there Friday,
October 20, and s. A. Lowell, date for
whom has not been named. Prospects
are good for Polk county to swell its
usual large Republican vote this year.

HANDLE FACTORY RE-OPENED
Business In Hands of New Company
and Work viii Be Commenced
At Once.

A new company, fling articles OF
incorporation in Portland, Tuesday,
under the name of The Pacific Coast
Handle & Manufacturing Company,
has taken charge OF the Dallas handle
factory which will be opened at once
and operated steadily in future.
A crew of IA men with two teams
will be put to work in the timber camp
on the Holman place not far from
Dallas, Monday morning, cutting
timber, and preparing to keep the
factory steadilysupplied with material.
In addition to this work in the camp
the company is arranging to buy from
farmers and other owners of timber in
the vicinity of Dallas, oak handle
timber to be cut and delivered at the
factory as soon as possible. In this
way it is thought that the factory can
be put in operation at once and that
the work can be continued steadily
without any necessity Of shutting
uOWA dG any Ou dSSpuhO VI IdS
scarceness Of timber supplies.
The company hopes to get sufficient
supply Of material cut and delivered
at the factory before the beginning of
the real rainy season, to carry the
work along without cessation during
the worst months of the winter when
heavy roads will make hauling diff
cult.
A total crew of 81 men will be
employed-seven in the factory and Il
in the camps. Although this is not so
large as the list Of the employees in
some of the more pretentious indus
tries, it will add materially to the pay
roll of Dallas and to the business
activity of this city.
The enterprise is financed by W. d.
Myers, of Portland capitalist
recently from the East and man of
excellent business ability.

Skating and moving pictures at the
Colosseum rink tonight.
A deer, appearing suddenly on the
rifle range west Of Dallas, Wednes-
day, attracted for a moment the fire Of
the boys who were out at rifle practice.
In the excitement Of the moment the
young men forgot TO lower their sights
from the 1000 yard mark. The shots
that were fired passed over the animal
which was only about 500 yards from
them, and it escaped uniniured.
