RECOVERING FROM OPERATION.

On Wednesday a statement was CIV
en- out by Mrs. Preston Taylor to the
effect that her husband, Elder Pres
ton Taylor, had been pronounced by
the attending physicians as well
enough to leave the infrmary. He is
due to be at his home Saturday, in
fact, he would have been home Tues
day had it not been for the cold snap,
which came so suddenly. The ope-
ration which was performed upon FL
der Taylor was a very delicate one,
but extremely successful. For more
than three weeks he has been an in
mate of Wilson's Infrmary. His
friends have been extremely anxious
about his condition and this the news
of his being convalescent is the best
news of the week Just whether he
will be able to entertain a host OF
friends by Sunday is not known.

1.-THE PALMS."

For years and years the Nashville
public has demanded a frst-class, up
to-date soda fountain and ice cream
parlor in the uptown district which
our mothers, sisters, wives, daughters,
ETC., could visit without impunity, and
quite so long have their desires and
hopes been blasted. This may be at
tributed to many reasons. Not, how
ever, that the matter has not been
seriously considered by energetic and
experienced business men of color, but
simply because designing parties have
seen fit to raise the rent on uptown
buildings when it was learned that
first-class business was going to be
run for colOred people. We are proud
to say, however, that this obstacle has
been overcome, and that very beauti-
full and centrally located place-one
block from the transfer station, one
block from the Capitol, and one block
from and facing the centre of the
Fifth Avenue (Summer street, shop
ping district-on the northeast corner
of Fifth avenue North, and Cedar
street, has been secured, in which will
be installed a modern ice cream manu-
featuring plant, a massive marble
soda fountain, and furnishings and fix
lures to correspond, which will render
it one of the most beautiful and we'll
equipped parlors in the South. The
management of this unique enterprise,
which will be known as "The Palms."
have been catering to the welfare of
the public for several years, and their
very successful business attests the
satisfactory service they have rem
dered their many patrons. They an

Certain Of the South American repub.
les have been very willing to be rep
resented in Europe by ambassadors.
The pressure for representation of high.
eT rank has by no means ceased. Ar
gintine Republic wants to be repre-.
scented at Washington by an ambassa-
dor because the people of the Argen-
tines think they have as big and pros
porous and influential a republic as
Brazil.
1t is not improbable that in the
course of few years there will be
four or five ambassadors from South
American republics and as many from
the United States to those countries.
Even with the decline of American
shipping, the communication with
South America is constantly on the
increase and the countries to the South
are getting better acquainted with us.
Secretary Roots voyage around
South America few years ago was
so prolific of good results that IL has
been suggested Secretary Knox make
n similar journey. II Is not improbable
he will do so. The South Americans
regard themselves as highly houored
when a secretary Of state Of the Unit
