Rev w. T. Green is making splendid
progress in the city as an active. wide
awake, gospel minister. His efforts
are not confined to tho church alone

Impression upon the entire city. 1t

was once the capital of the Volunteer
State; and is the county seat of Ruth
ertord County 1t has very intelli-
gent population of both races and is
rated as one Of the first cities in the
state, so far as concerns the type of
citizens it produces. The Negroes are
about two-ffths of the population of
the city. That they are making good
citizens is evident from the fact that
they are filling almost every vocation
OF life, being active in the business
world as we'll as in the professional.
