There seems to be a general re-
vival of business leagues throughout
the State of Tennessee. This has
been brought about from the fact that
Mr.. Charles H. Moore, the national
organizer. has been actively at work
in the State His visit to Nashville
last week, lasting four or five days,
is fraught with many good results.
While in the city Mr.. Moore was able
TO meet two special called meetings
of business men. At both of these
meetings he delivered able addresses.
The last one, held on Friday night,
was well attended The meeting was
held in the chapel of the National
Baptist Publishing Board and after
preliminary remarks by the president
of the local Business League, R. H.
Boyd Mr.. Moore was introduced and
gave very plain, business-like ad-
dress. At the close of this address,
the interest of the 1business league
ran very high Mr., A. N. Johnson,
who is the president of the Business
and Professional League Of this city,
was one of the speakers. He notified
the national organizer that their or
ganization was not dormant and had
not been since its organization; he
further. stated that their secretary,
Mr.. r. Clay Moore, would be author
lied to turn over sufficient money for
a charter for their organization.
There were q few remarks made by
]. C. Napier, who is a member Of the
old organization and who stated that
the charter which they held would
serve as it had served Hence the re-
suit is that two acting and chartered
local leagues will operate in the city
of Nashville. One will be known as
the Negro Business League OF Nash
Vile. which is about eight or nine
wears old: the other will possibly be
known as the Business and Profes
sional League of Nashville. At any
rate. indications are that they viii
work in unison, and that at the next
annual meeting of the National Ne
gro Business League. which Is tC
meet in the State Of Kentucky, Nash
Vile will vie with Louisville or any
other city in number Of representa-
tives. Thus. Mr.. Moore's visit as ma
tional organizer has had a tendenc!
to awaken from their lethargy these
two organizations which the GLOBE
has from time to time attempted tt
, awaken. Mr. Moore left the cit!
, Monday evening for Pulaski. Hi
itinerary will include other cities Il
the state An effort will be put fortl
, to have Mr.. Moore visit Nashville

NINTH ANNIVERSARY CELEBRA-
TlON OF PASTORATE OF
REV. w. S. ELLINGTON.

Nine years of active service as
pastor of one of the leading churches
in the city of Nashville came to a
beautiful close last Sunday when by
special arrangement the ninth ami
versary exercises and sermon for Rev.
w. S. Ellington, DID,, who has labored
so arduously as the pastor OF the
First Baptist Church were held. The
preparations for this anniversary
were not as elaborate as heretofore,
and yet. as much interest was mani
tested by the church people, as DR..
ellington by his deme9nor as a pas
'Cr an1 Christian gentleman has at
tracted a large number Of visitors
oall qs increased the membership
of the church. The program as ar
ranged provided for one speaker from
the membership of the church and a
sermon with special music for the oc-
casion. The anniversary sermon was
preached by Rev. C. H. Clark, D. D.,
pastor of the Mt Olive Baptist
Church. DR.. Clark took his text from
Acts $40: "Go, stand and speak in
the temple of the people all the
words of this life" His subject was
the Position of the pastor to the
church" He subdivided his subject
and delivered what was considered
one of the most forceful, logical and
far-reaching sermons that has been
heard for many days. His delivery
and the pictures which he drew from
time to time during his discourse cap
tured the audience of the First Bap'
tist Church. 1t was a sermon fit for
! such an occasion. A large audience
testified to this fact by the manner
in which it was received It would
not have been possible for the speak
er to have made a better impression
and delivered a better sermon had he
been six months making preparation
The part of the program giving the
history of the church since its organi
zation was interestingly delivered BY
Deacon Hightower. Before the close
of the services DR.. Ellington made
some announcements and a little
speech in which he thanked the la
dies for presenting him a beautiful
Stetson hat which had been pun
chased and presented on this occs
, sion The presentation speech wa

By Henry Allen Boyd.

Some one has said that, "a friend
stieketh closer than a brother" and
to my mind this is true for in the
years that knew Joseph Oliver Bat
tie found In him a friend and within
the past-five years constant compan-
ion. and if | should talk from now I'M
til / meet him on the happy golden
shore. t could not say moro that
would express the relations that ex-
listed between us, the esteem with
which | held him, the very chain that
bound lis together could not be made
stronger that when I say: Battle
was my friend" Men, unlike women.
have not the copious language to de-
scribe or portray their love for one
another. In war they show their love
for one another by offering up life,
in business they show their devotion
to one another by sticking together
up and down, in life they show their
friendship by manly agreeing or dis
agreeing and yet, remaining the clos
est and sincerest companions. l have
not a brother who confided more in
me than did ]. o. Battle, I haven't
brother in whom I confided more
than I did him, and yet I have not ex-
pressed and cannot express our friend
ship or our companionship in a way
that would give or begin to give the
relationship that existed between us.
It was in 1899 during the month of
September when the National Bap
tist Convention met in Nashville
Tenn, that I met him and at once
there arose a nearness which through
correspondence Of several years, be

a friendship which grew and grew

At the meeting of the stockholders
of the Peoples Savings Bank and
Trust Company on Wednesday night
the largest crowd that has attended
any of the meetings was present.
The gathering was composed OF some
of the leading men of the city, many
of them successful business men, are
stockholders in this new concern, and
were at the meeting discussing plans
and suggesting the best methods to
adopt to attain the success hoped for.
Every man present seemed to have
only one aim in view, and that was to
increase the paid up capital stock.
The stockholders would not consent
to an adoption of the constitution, but
agreed unanimously to defer such ac-
tion until a later day to give new
members a chance to participate in
the permanent organization. A COM
mittee was appointed with instruc-
tions to at once set about 20 plan a
campaign of the city to aequaint the
people and especially the business
men. with the natureo the new en-
terprise The organization Of this
hank shows conclusively that the
Negroes of this city are awake to the
demands Of the times. They realize
that Nashville is growing rapidly, and
that the Negroes are progressing with
the city. Every day brings to light
some new business concern. And
with all these Impressions comes the
demand for more banking and trust
companies. The new enterprise has
already been chartered under the
laws of the State Of Tennessee as the
Peoples Saving Bank and Trust Com
pany. a financial concern, organized
and chartered by number of men Of
this city. The bank and trust compa-
ny is supposed to swing wide its
doors in the near future. Some very
able business and professional men
are behind the movement. The cap.
tai stock is $4,000. In a conversa-
tion with one of the promoters a
Globe representative learned that the
movement is purely to advance the
business interests and bring out the
financial rating of the Negroes Of this
city. as well as to encourage real es
cto investments bv the same people

the effort showed the zeal and depth
of admiration with which 1000O,000

made to take an account of those pres
ent as it was plainly the largest and
c'thusiastiC audience that ever
attempted to get within the walls of a
sacred edifce in this city Men from
all over the United States and from
every walk of life were present and
when Mr.. John w. Cromwell, the pre-
siding officer, called the meeting to

tion. Hon. Archibald H. Grimpke, OF
Boston, Mass, was introduced by MIR.

to a mastery address. Attorney Ar

speech characteristic for its simple
ity and truthfulness, the loving cup

American Negroes responded and the
very words of his speech showed that
he was touched beyond description
He said he did not consider that he
had done any more than was the duty

of Congress or in any position of in

Final Arrangements for Miss N. n.
Burroughs to Speak Here.
In an interview with Mesdames
Flowers and Broue hton, two active
members of the Women's State Con-
vention of Tennessee, it was learned
that the last touches on the arrange
ments for the visit of Miss Mamie
Helen Burroughs, of Louisville, KY
have been made Miss Burroughs Is
a gifted speaker and platform orator
that challenged the admiration OF all
Europe and has held the United
States in her own grasp for the past
seven or eight years. She is to come
to Nashville. and positively her first
appearance in the city will be on
Monday night, April 5, in the spa
cious auditorium of the Mount Olive
Baptist Church. This will be known
as the Big Nashville Meeting. Her
next appearance will be for the BEN
eft of the East Side. She will speak
on Tuesday night, April 9th, in the
First Baptist Church, East Nashville.
Both of these meetings are under the
auspices of the Women's Organiza-
| tion of Nashville. 1t might be inter-
eating and indeed it is information to
many people to know that Miss Bur-
roughs is not only a speaker but a
worker. Her work with the Women's
| Auxiliary Convention as Correspond
! inc Secretary. her services that she
has rendered from time to time to
the Foreign Mission Board and the
founding and building Of the Train
ing School at Washington, D. c., are
three monuments that have been
erected, and thus her appearance in
this city means much to the twenty
thousand Baptists of Davidson Coun
tv. Many of the leading newspapers
of the-world speak in hattering terms
of her. The Baptist Times and Free
man. a religious paper published IL
London. England, had the following

Don't kiss the baby.
Don't handle the baby unless

Don't bring baby's face close to
