Over four thousand dollars was col
lected for the first quarter and the
Order showed progress along all
lines. The death rate was not so
heavy as heretofore The meeting
was quite harmonious and peaceful
one. Not a cross word or anything
along that line was even Indicated.
Everyone seemed to have the interest
or the order above any individual.
! The retiring secretary, Prof. w. S.
Thompson, assured his successor that
his heart and hand would be ever
ready to assist him in any way to
do good work for the Order. The D.
G. Secretary, Brother T. P. Turner,
and the Endowment Secretary, Bro.
Crawford, assured the retiring Sec
rotary that they were thankful to
him for services and felt duty bound
to respect him for the same and that
the most cordial relations existed.
At p. m. Brother Hayes, the noted
wealthy undertaken, came over to 374

Board for a drive and after visiting
several places in the city he Carried
us around the speedway of Is miles.
The scenery was very beautiful. The
c. M. E. Conference has just closed a
most successful session here last
Sunday night, with Bishop G. H. Phil
lips presiding. The Bishops daugn-
ter, Miss Emma, presided over the
women's department in the absence
OF her mother, who is indisposed.
Preaching was held on Sunday at the
Opera House, when quite a crowd as
sembled to hear the sermons of Rev.
Jones and P. ]. Coleman, M. D. Rev.
5. l.. McGee who has successfully pas
tored Blacks Chapel for the past two
years, has been sent to Savannah,
Tenn. While the appointment is a
promotion for Rev. MCGEE, personally
we feel that it is quite loss to Blacks
Chapel. Rev. MCGEE has made sue
cess in pastoring here, and has raised
the small membership of ten two
years ago to 451. He seemed at all
times wide awake to the needs of the
church, and always kept doing some
thing to interest his church and con-
gregation. The new pastor who sue
ceeds Rev. MCGEE is Rev. A. D. Shell
ton. Rev. j. NJ. Gentry has just re-
turned fom Alabama where he has
been to fill his pastoral appointments
in his church in that state. Miss
Delphia Meredith, the daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. D. H. Meredith, of North
End, fell and hurt her hip, from which
she suffered deal. She is some bet
ter at this writing. Rev. Geo. R.
Norman, the popular pastor of Camp
bells Chapel A. M. f. Church, who
has successfully served his fourth
year has been sent to Shelbyville for
the next year. His many friends
here regret to lose him. He has been
succeeded by Rev. A. Brooks, who
formerly pastored at st. John, Nash
vile, and recently at Columbia. Rev.
Brooks is a great preacher and we
nave been informed of his high char
acter, that he comes to us with clean
record and at his own pleasure to do
so. Rev. D. Howard is all smiles
since his friends has so literally
contributed to his one hundred dollar
rally. The final count has not been
made, but the receipts, when all are
in, will exceed the one hundred dol
lars asked for. Beulah Baptist

the Endowment Board in Memphis,
as reported by Brother Turner, one
of the captains.
