BOSS NASH AND
RAILROAD WORK
Something About Story of How the
Railroads Lined Up Their Side
for Franchises.

When the city council took it's
famous stand Of terminal rates or
no railroad franchises, II was said
at the time that II was a move In
the interests Of Jim Hill or else II
was a clever scheme to put the new
railroads "up against IT,"
1t was a matter of record that the
Ostrander amendment asking for
terminal rates had barely slipped
through the committee of the whole,
where it had been buried for year.
While there was no record OF the
stand of the individual councilmen
on the question, 1t was known that
they had all along regarded the ter.
minal rate clause with Indifferent
attention.
Hence, when the city council. a
few weeks later, by unanimous vote,
decided to ask terminal rates, some
of the old timers who follow politics
closely had reasons to be suspi
cious.
One of the first steps taken after
the action of the council was the
formation of a citizens committee

SKETCH OF JOHN M. TURPIN BY
HIS CLASSMATE, REV. GEO.

John Morton Turpin, B. A., M. D.,
Was born in Richmond, Va, Jan. 2,
1858, and died at Nashville, Tenn 3,
June %, 1910, 2 a. m. He came to
Columbia, Tenn, at an early age
where he resided until 1872. When
fourteen years of age he came to
Nashville and began his education at
Fisk University, graduating with the
college class of 1881.
He was a great reader and availed
himself of every opportunity during
the formative years of his life at Co
lumbia to store his mind with useful
knowledge.
Mrs. Mary Ann Turpin, who later
became Mrs. Titcomb, a leading citi-
7eps of Columbia. Tenn, took great in
terest in young Turpin and rave him
every opportunity to rise and fit him.
self for a useful career. His early
life was largely Influenced by her
wise and kindly direction. She be-
came interested in his welfare as a
small boy and her friendly interest
continued until her death. His moth
er, Mrs. Sarah Turpin, watched over
his young life and she did much to aid
him in his education and to encour-
aoe him in his life work. His moth
er's influence and prayers were a
GREAT comfort and inspiration to him.
She lived to see him graduate from
college and take up his work as an ed
ucator.
After completing his studies at Fisk
University, he taught school the first
year at Columbia, Tenn, and the fol
lowing year at Bowling Green, Ky.
He returned from Bowling Green to
Nashville and began his work in the
nublic schools. From this date until
the time of his death he had served
twenty-five years. During this time
he taught in the various grades of the
rUblic schools and for several years
taught science in the Meigs High
School,.
He graduated from the Meharry
Medical College in 1890, but he was so
devoted to his work as an educator
that he did not actively engage in the
practice of medicine. He was an ed
ucator and the whole of his active life
of nearly thirty years was spent in
the school room.
He vas married to Mary Mahan,

of Miss L. L. McKeever, of the city

cared for her during the trying years

She surrendered to Christ in the pio-
neer days of old Spruce Street Church,
under the pastorate of the sainted ia
ther, Rev. N. G. Merry, since which
time she has lived a sincere, consist
ent and practical Christian life. Her
many charities were quietly, yet
Systematically, dispensed, the work of
assisting the poor appealing to
her to such an extent that many on
this and the other side are able to
boast of her Dorcas-like kindnesses.
This work, SO dear to her, was laid
aside only after the coming on of the
illness that lasted through fifteen
years of most intense suffering and f.
nally caused her taking away.
Like Job, she bore her affection with
fortitude and patience, never yielding
to complaint, but at adj times pre-
senting the bright side to friends, be-
coming thereby a silent witness of
what faith does for it's defenders.
Her passing out was like the life
she lived, quiet and p~eaceable, passing
into a deep sleep Saturday night from
which there was no earthly awaken
ing, but a God-chOsen way of taking
His own into the mansion of rest. Sun.

relatives and friends, she passed to
her reward.
