JACKSON TO have
new ASSOCIATION
Object Of Association 10 to Raise
Funds to Erect Monument to "sIack
Mammies" Of South.

Jackson, Miss, June 25.-Jackson
is to have an "Old Black Nanny
| Association. The matter has been
taken up by several well-known peo.
pie of this city, and it is intended to
have a meeting in a short time to
elect officers.
In the meantime all persons desir-
ing to join this association can COM
municate with Mr.. V. Otis Robertson
at the Century Bank Mr. Robertson
will act as treasurer until a meeting
can be held, and will be asked to
serve in that capacity as a regularly
elected officer.
The object of this association is to
raise funds to erect a monument to
the Souths old "Black Nanny" who
is fast disappearing, and only a few
OF them are left. Everyone who de-
sires to join can do so by sending
their name and 81 to Mr.. Robertson.
No one is asked to contribute more
than that amount, but it is believed
several thousand dollars will be
raised for this purpose in the South,
more than enough to pay tribute to
one of the most loyal beings that
ever lived.
The old Black Nanny nursed and
cared for many of the leading men
and women of the South, and es-
pecially in Mississippi. She has al
ways been held in reverence by the chill
dren and honored by their parents,
and those who will take the initiative
in the movement to raise funds to
erect this monument are confident
this appeal will strike a responsive
chord.
The movement was started at Gal
weston by Mr.. J. T. Groce, president
of the Galveston National Bank, who
is also president of the central asso-
citation, formed some time ago. Mr..
Groce first sent out letters to various
men of his acquaintance throughout
the South, then got meeting at Gal
weston and organized the first associa-
tion. The movement has grown rapid
ly, and today has a membership of
several thousand.
Jackson will organize with a large
membership, and everyone will desire
to pay last tribute to their old black
nanny. An effort will be made to
form associations in other cities in
this state, while other states will be
thoroughly organized.
The movement is gaining rapidly,
according to advices received here,
and funds will soon be coming in
rapidly. 1t is not intended that any
one shall contribute much to this
cause, but that many shall contribute
a little.

of a certain sward. and. being pos
sessed of land and an overpowering
confidence that with money all things
are possible. he asked the head gar

Perfumes In Ancient Days.

Old as the history of the world itself
is that of the queen of flowers. The
ancient Greeks and Romans reveled In
roses. They were used lavishly at their
feasts. In the time of the republic the
people had their cups of Falernian
wine swimming with blooms, and the
Spartan soldiers after the battle of
Cirrha refused to drink any wine that
was not perfumed with roses. while at
the regatta of Baiae the whole surface
of the Lucrine lake was strewp with
flowers.

Come. whistle through the dreary wood
And stars shall CLEAN above you.
The night shall breathe of naught but
good
The stiIlnesses shall love you;
The signs you waste. the griefs yon
Are shades the sunshine scorning.
And they shall flee in utter haste
When dawns the morrow morning.
Come, tune your heart to happiness
And set your lips to laughter,
For none may know nor even guess
The joys that follow after.
The frets you know, the fears you show
Are all an empty warning:
They will not blur the genial glow
When dawns the morrow morning.
So clasp your comrade by the hand
And clap him on the shoulder;
The heart whose throbs you understand
Is never growing colder.
The faith of friends-it never ends;
Have done with serveil fawning
ANA wait the joyous sky that bends
Above US at the dawning.
Aye, stumble though you may betimes,
The goal is growing higher;
It's only he who hopes and climbs
That ever gets the higher.
So trudge along with smile and song,
Be blthe in your endeavor-
There is no endless rule of wrong;
One night lasts not forever.
Come. whistle through the dreary wood
For stars above are cleaning;
song of Joy is understood,
The rest is but the seeming
The clouds shall fly along the sky
Forgetful of their warming:
Your song shall have its glad reply
When dawns the morrow morning.

STREET NAMES AS MEMORIALS.

In Paris. where one may visit the
Street of the Fourth of September, il
will be possible presently to traverse
also the Street of Edward VII. By
designation in the latter instance
France will honor a late great and
good English friend; in the other case
the beginning after Sedan is COM
memorated of the present republic.
Considering the array Of New YORK
streets and avenues running to arith-
metical terms, we are reminded how
far we have neglected memorial OPP
portunities in the naming OF our
thorougfares. Certainly we have hon1
Ored Washington in New York-seV-
eral times, indeed, in the several
boroughs, says the New York World!
We have Lafayette in street and ave.
nue., and did have him in boulevard
TIL Riverside drive was extended. a
few other names we have remembered
of men great in state or nation. There
are preparations, too, Of the names
of old local families. But where ID
our Avenue of the Declaration Of In
dependence? Where our Boulevard OF
the Fourth Of July? Where our Street
of the Surrender of Yorktown and our
Place of the Emancipation Proclama1
ton. In the absence OF such historic
designations for important thorough4
fares is a real metropolitan deficiency.
Newer New York offers abundant
chance TO remove the fault. But in4
stead of suggestions to this end we
have a change of name for fine old
Long Acre square, and a proposal is
actually made to wipe out the famous
old Bowery? We are not a senu1
mental people.
