come who would have to enjoy some
of the one hundred different drinks
dispensed from our mammoth foun-

time the Globe reached the homes
and the business part of the city, we
served seven hundred eighty-nine free

LucIus MASSEY DEAD.

Information has just been received
in this city of the death Of Lucius
Massey. He was killed in a recent
mine disaster which occurred at
Pratts' Mines in Alabama some few
weeks ago. It seems that Mr.. Mas
sey's mother does not know this and
Mrs. Lizzie G. Mills, Wylan, Alabama,
conveys the information to the Nash
vile Globe. She said in her letter
that the young man was FIVE feet
high, 20 or % years of age and that
his mother should know this where,
ever She Is. Complete Information
can be had by writing to Mrs. Lizzie
G. Mills, Wylan, Ala. 1t is supposed
that Mr.. Massey's mother lived in or
near Nashville.

THE SEVENTH EDITION.
Volume Seven of the National Bap-
fist Sunday-SchooI Lesson Com
m~entarN is Now Ready.

IICIlldIy 10 lNOW T0Cduys
With clock-like regularity there ap-
pears for 1910 volume seven of the
National Baptist Sunday-School Les
son Commentary. The book contains
Sunday-school lessons for 1910 com
pete in every phase. AS usual, it is
in a class by itself Tor several rea-
sons. The one that interests the
ace in general is that it is the only
Negro Commentary edited, prepared,
printed, published, bound and mailed
out without the help of any other
race OF the face of the earth, so far
as we know. 1t is interesting be-
cause Of it's originality of matter and
valuable contents. 1t is the only
Baptist Commentary in the world,
comprehensive, suggestive, and it is
said by the editors to be thoroughly
Baptistic, and its doctrine has not
made it obnoxious to the other de-
nominations any more than the Bible.
The associate editor seems to have
been very careful in his preparation
OF each lesson, exposition and the in
Productions for 1910.
AS a teachers help this Commenta-
ry argues still to keep its suprema-
cy. On opening the book, one is
greeted with a calendar for 1910, so
that the teachers can prepare spe-
cial lessons, rallies, OF lectures, an
nouncing the month, day of the
week, and date of the month to their
classes; there is also a teachers
memorandum, where notes may be
written. The preface of the Common
tary for 1910 shows that the lessons
for the year will be taken from the
Gospel of Matthew, and that the au-
thors have consulted varied and val
liable literature with but one aim in
view in the preparation of the book,
j.. e., that the lessons be so simplifed
as to attract the attention of the
reading ones, who in turn would at
tract the younger ones, drawing them
closer to the plan of salvation. Our
Modern Sunday-Scvhool Methods, by
r. Fl. Boyd, ID. D., appears again in
the first of the book in five chapters.
Then comes a list CT the books used
and referred to in the preparation of
the Commentary, with a teachers
class record. There is an introduc-
ton for each quarter, and a beautiful
colored mapl'Radial Key Map Of
Palestine The usual amount of
high-class instruction and informa-
ton abound throughout. The book is
three hundred and ninety pages, well
bound in velum de lux, with the name
printed in two colors. A copy was
received in our Office, the compli-
ments of the National Baptist Pub
fishing Board.

FROM THE OLD NEWSPAPER
FILES.
History That Has Been Preserved
by a Woman of Nashville.

Almost ffty years old and yet full Of
good reading matter, facts that have
never been taught IN the schools are
found in these papers. The New York
Herald OF Nov. IL, 1860, contains what
few, If any, historians have put in
book form; it was a news item from
Springfield, ILL.,, dated November II,
1860, giving Mi. Lincoln's opinion on
the secession movement.
INTERESTING FROM SPRING.
FIELD.
Mr.. Lincoin's opinion of the Seces-
SION observation-disclosures hec5Ipt
OF Letters py the President Elect,
&C., &c.
Springfield, ILL.,, Nov. II, 1860.
The republican Mecca is compare
lively quiet to-day. Mr.. Lincoln is
getting some repose. His lEail is i'm
mense. MOST OF has letters are from
impolitic men, who have thriIst them
selves forward in the campaign in or
DER to become prominent, in hope there
by to induce MI. Lincoln TO believe
tnat they rad done immense service,
and consequently that he was under
great Obligations to them. He would
nave been better OH without them.
Among the letters he has received
since his election are two or three
from prominent republican politicians
in the country who did all they could
10 deIeat MS eiecCIon for the Senate
and secure that Oh Douglas. These
demagogues have the a~uuacIIy to sup
pose mai MI. Lincoln has forgotten
their treacnery TO him and their party
u that ne Will 0 accept them as his
ADVISERS, they will ind themselves mis-
taken. Greeley can hardly be counted
l this boat as he more than compen-
stated for the political sin he COM
mltted in ngntlng against lincoln for
the senate, by his enorts to secure his
nomination against Seward at Chicago.
Not so with others, some OF whom,
like Wilson, OF massachusetts, secretly
whisper in the ear Of Garrison sentl.
ments that he dare not utter to the
public. Mr.. Lincoln has been cheated
by them ohce and will never trust
them again.
A gentleman who had a private in
terView with Mr.. Lincoln last evening
says he conversed with the President
elect about the secession movement
South, and the latter expressed his
regret that the South, having always
been so loyal to the Union, should be
the first to manifest a disposition to
break it UP, and especially under a
democratic ADMINISTRATION, and before
the policy Of the new (Lincoln) adj
ministratlon is thoroughly tested.
Adyices here indicate that the pres
ent excited state Of feeling in the
South will soon give place to more
polite movement, perhaps a national
Convention, to be composed Of the best
minds of al the States, To consider
and settle peacefully the question of
Union and disunion. The conduct of
the present administration is closely
watched with reference to the exist
ing state OF affairs in the South, and
by no one with more interest than
Mr.. Lincoln himself. Springfield still
continues to be crowded with people.
and the inferior hotels here do not
half accommodate them.
