To the Nashville public. New
Years day was one of busy activity.
1t was very entertaining in more ways
than one. Possibly the biggest attrac-
ton was the re-opening of the A. N.
Johnson Undertaking Establishment
on Cedar street which had just been
completed. According to invitation
hundreds of citizens responded, TAX
ing advantage of the generosity and
hospitality of one of Nashville's lead
inc business men. The stream of
visitors who saw the place, began ear
ly in the morning and continued un-
til late in the evening-not crowded,
but coming in one constant, uninter-
rupted stream. They were met, well
coined and entertained by the affaDle,
congenial and pleasant proprietor, Mr..
A. N. Johnson and his wife. Mr. and
Mrs. Johnson were assisted in enter
tanning by their two sons, Lorenzo and
A. N, Jr., with some of their student
friends from the Medical school. They
were shown this magnificent, Well-ap-
pointed establishment beginning with
the elegant ladies parlOr, with its
great high ceiling, decorated walls and
costly furniture, through the show
rooms, chapel, stock-rooms, morgue,
and. in fact, through the stables, and
hack into the great hallway. They
saw the most complete undertaking
establishment owned by Negroes in
the United States. That it is the most
elaborate, tasty, up-to-date, complete,
everything well-arranged, and every
one highly entertained is the sum and
substance of every verdict rendered on
the establishment and every remark
heard during the day. Citizens are
not slow to take advantage Of these
opportunities to see the Negroes ad-
vancement in the business world.

How we remember your

to lose such a promising child truly

But remember that light will break
through and there will be glad and
happy reunion in the Great Beyond.
It has, indeed, been a heavy blow
and we scarcely know now to talk of
consolation under so bitter an affiic'
ton. Think of the One who careth
for all and who loves little children
He has prepared a bright and beautl
full home beyond the grave, and the
spirit of the dear child will only wait
a brief period when in sweetness anc
love she will meet her mother anc

MAY SHIFT THE
MINNY CIRCUIT

Duluth, Oct 12.-When the brother
magnates Of the Minny league get
down to real business this afternoon,
SEINE interesting Developments are ex-
pected. 1t is expected that some brush
will be cut in the Minnesota Wiscon-
sin baseball pasture.
One of the most important consider
ations that will engage the broad
browed attention Of the directors Of
the league win be the makeup of the
league for next season. There are two
teams in this league-though this is
not saying what clubs they are-that
will have to do the Missouri act at the
meeting today. Unless these two
clubs in question show the other man
ayers some very good prospects, back
ed UP with a guarantee, it is probable
that the clubs will be dropped.
1t is not known definitely at this
time whether Mankato and Red Wing
will have emissaries at the meeting.
1T Is not known either, whether Jack
Lamb will be on hand to urge the Win
nipeg proposition. 1t is expected
however, that these clubs will be rep
resented in some manner at the con-
ference of the club owners.
1t is known that some of the owners
| Of Minny league clubs do not look
with disfavor on the Winnipeg prop
osition. The fare to Winnipeg since
the opening of traffic on the Rainy
Lake railroad, Is not very much higher
than the fare from Duluth to Lacrosse
If some of the managers of the league
can be convinced Of the fact that Win.
nipeg would pay FOR the jump up there
and back, there might not be any OBJ
lection to admitting the Canadian
Sister into the league parlor
AS has been stated, there are two
weak sister clubs in the present or
ganization. Their identity may be dis
closed at the meeting here. If the man
ayers of these two clubs don't come to
| the surface of the financial waters OF
the league with some kind Of a promise
they are liable to find that new clubs
will compose the 1910 circuit.
1t is believed that committee will
be appointed at the meeting to thor
oughly go into the question of the cir
cult for 1910
There are some baseball entangle-
ments to be settled. These are in the
nature of protested games. There is
one between Winona and Lacrosse.
