For the first time in the history If
Nashville the colored people are TO
have a PRIVATE AMBULANCE SER
VICE. They will not have to use the
City ambulance, a cab, or a wagon any
longer, for Nashville's progressive
undertaken will on next Wednesday
put in Private Ambulance Service.
Not a casket wagon MADE FOR CAR
RYING caskets, claims, ETC., and
USED FOR an ambulance. NOT a
COMBINATION WAGON for the re-
moval of the dead from hospitals and
places where they died and some
times used for hauling boxes, trunks
and what not; not a UTILITY WA
CON used often for pa!lbearers,
flower wagon, remains from the
trains and suddenly converted into an
improved ambulance; but ours is A
GENUINE AMBULANCE OR INVA-
LIDS carriage for no other purpose
than the removal of the sick and in
jured,
The splendid support given us by
the citizens of Nashville warrants
the establishment of this service. In
keeping with our method of business,
WE WE'RE NOT SATISFIED TO
IMPOSE UPON THE PEOPLE ANY
THING LESS THAN THE BEST. 1t
would have been less expense to
have followed in the same old ruts
and put in a vehicle that would 1T
times haul pall-bearers, convey the
dead, carry flowers, freight, ETC., but
we believe that sick people have no
right to be removed in the same We
hicle which conveys the dead, NOR
SHOULD A FRIENDLY PALL-
BEARER RIDE IN A DEAD WAGON
AND BECOME EXPOSED TO
GERMS. Our ambulance will be
used only for the removal of the sick
and the injured.
THIS PRIVATE AMBULANCE
SERVICE is established for u peo-
pie who want high class private ser
yice for their sick and injured n
who are willing to pay a reasonable
fee for such service. 1t is FITTED
WITH A SPECIAL COT which can
be suspended from the roof by an in
genious arrangement of special
springs and straps which takes OF
Earring and jolting. or sets on the
floor so that patients can be carried
comfortably. Seats are arranged
along the side of the cot for attend
ants. The interior is complete from
{ sanitary standpoint, finished in ele-
CANT mahogany, and the service is
lust what our people in Nashville
have been in need of for years. No
need to use a carriage, or some combl-
nation wagon used as a pall-bearers
wagon, a dead wagon, a casket wagon,
or hearse, exposing the sick and we'll
to germs and fright to save expense
to the men who give this kind of SER
vice.
The day of amy old service for
colored people" is past. What was
once good FOR him will no longer do.
His money entities him to as good
service as he can pay for.
Too many colored men in business
know how to charge and don't know
now to give the service or refuse
to give the service for which they
charge.
This venture on the part of A. N.

patronage of the people. Three years

REV. A. BROOKS, says:
Hon A. N. Johnson:
Dear Sir and Brother
Feeling, sir, that your service as
an undertaken is worthy of an ex-
preston of commentator, | take this
method of expressing to you the inl-
preston made upon me through your
conducting of funerals as having come
under my immediate observation.
First, your place of business and
the rules %thereabout excel any |
have ever seen. Your work as an
embalmer is pleasing and takes the
front ranks; your method of arrang
ing the body and the conduct of the
cortage and the manner in which You
handle the mOurners is to my mind
such as would challenge the best in
the way of competition. Your bust
ness towers among the best this
country can afford of its kind. Long
Long may you live to bless the race
with your most worthy and excellent
service.

and prompt as can be. This has been
verified in every instance where ne

NJ. DAKOTA MAN
HAS NINE FOOT BEARD.

Wahpeton, N. D., May 27.-Nine feet
and two inches of beard-that's what
Hans N. Langseth Of Mooreton boasts
1t was thirty-four years ago that Mr..
Langseth declared boycott on the
barber craft. That makes an average
growth of three inches a year. Mr..
Langseth himself declares 1t knows no
brother west of the Mississippi river
Mr. Langseth was born in Norway
in 1916. In 1879 he migrated to Wis
consin and in 1898 came to the Red
River valley, settling on a farm near
Mooreton, Richland county. In Nor
way he used to allow his beard to grow
in the winter and shave IL off every
summer. After coming to the United
States, he says, he noticed that his
beard grew unusually fast. Thirty
four years ago he decided to let II
grow just to see what the limit was.
He has decided there Is no limit The
beard isn't straight and stringy. 1t
has a beautiful wave. Sometimes Mr.,
Langseth carries 1t draped over his
shoulder. In cold weather 1t makes a
perfect muffler. In the summer he can
use it as a screen to keep off the glare
Of the sun. There is too much of 1t to
carry in one pocket and, Of course, it
is not possible to let the wind carry 1t,
for nine feet and two inches Of whis-
kers to the breeze would make 1t i'm
possible to keep an even keel So it Is
kept closely reefed and slowed away.
There is enough to make a beautiful
sash. But 1t is not an inconvenience,
Mr.. Langseth says, and he is proud Of
it. He has travelled east and west, but
asserts he has not found a competitor.
